Hi
I just installed the beta version of Shopping Cart 3,10.
First of all, I say i have shoping carts running in two different websites.
I decided to test in one site only www.jimmythesailor.com were the sells are not so important (it´s my personal site).

The new system just work smoothly and decide to use only a regular style. The first test i have done was to simulate one purchase and the system failled. Digging a little I discovered my sites were in diffrente server and this last one had not the CURL installed. I had made the tests with the other site and everything was ok and i assumed this site was ok also, mistake. Now is running very well and I simulated a purchase with success.
I have the option to remove the CoffeCup link.
The problem with zero quantity in view cart page remains. When you are buyng only one item and put quantity=zero and make update the cart charges only the shipping.
I added new groups, new items, copy items and everything run very well.
I will keep testing but for now I've not seen any issue.

Ho Jimmy
The problem with zero quantity in view cart page

Yeah, a bit irritating... so what I did, and might suggest something similar inside the release versions, (since it'll overwrite everytime the cart reuploads to the server) is to change that "whole number" line (on your page server files) in
/Your_shop_server_folder / ccdata / php /cartcontrol.cls.php
to something like this:
if( $this->products[$groupid][$productid]['typequantity'] == 'choose_quantity' && !$isNum )
{
$msg = "Quantity must be a whole number. (Use 'Delete' button to remove item)";
return $msg;
}

return '';
}
}

?>
That's the last coding line in the file.

Also on your pc, in the Coffecup Program files, if you modify the styles, such as changing the style xmls, then update to a newer version, be sure to back up those changed xmls! The update may overwrite your beautiful changes back to the original version. :rolleyes:

Also, I choose to leave a CC reference in the footer, modified. Have posted that hint somewhere on the boards...

Our little experimental cart is at: http://ourspecial.net/shop/
I think... therefore, I'm in a mess....

Hi Michael
When I do a facelift to a style I copy with a different name, for example Cold Stone is the original and i create a Cold Stone Artibatik. Then every time there are an update never destroy mine. I create personalized styles for every site.
Your site is very neat

When using the later version, are you able to open the files saved from a previous version and continue to add to the shop? Or do we have to start again and put all new fresh data in?
The shop that I have at the present time has taken several days to compile before not allowing the addition of additional data (screens disappearing, ect)

I would have liked to have been part of this beta program, but was out of town when the offer was announced.
Some say it can't be done, while others are doing it.

Reginald, I installed over the old one, without uninstalling, and it picked up the previous just fine... didn't change the projects. Did over write my modified styling, because I hadn't had my third cuppa coffee... so make sure to back that up!

All my items, data, everything else was the same...
On the update, I think most of the changes we'll see will be subtle, even invisible for the user, but there are some nifty features soon to be available... several of which have been suggested, (or demanded!!!) ;) on the user forums...
I think... therefore, I'm in a mess....

Hi
Yes, installed the program over the old one and everything was nice withe the same data. I only change the styling for a brand new regular CoffeeCup style to avoid problem during the tests.
Until now, and after soving the my server problem,everything was fine. I added several goups and items and never had some related problems with disappering groups or data... I, even, put my cats for sell ;)

Thanks Michael, that is really good news, I wasn't looking forward to adding it all again.
Maybe I can get this shop finished soon.

Hi
New test - new issue
Th program works very neat but I'm allways concerned about the coincidence of having two persons buying the same unique item and then I decided to simulate one person paying when me shop administrator is deleting or removing the item from shop (that time I deleted the Item).
The buyer had in is cart two items and when arrived PayPal checkout had this screen (file SCC301.jpg attached) where the image and name data was gone but the price maintain creating a wrong invoice.
C:\Users\Toshiba\Documents\SCC301_screen2.jpg
If necessary I will give more details or explanations.
Regards
