Make sure to check and setup permissions to all php files to 644 after the upgrade

QT is there a reason for this?

I have forwarded this issue to our maintenance team, they will check if there are any issues with the upgrade pack.

http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=312270&postcount=195

Reported on March 10 and here we are 2 months later this is not fixed. I am still to check with fake order if the userid=0 is fixed or not but looking at the code seems it's not fixed. Then the second part about the Advanced Statistics / Recommended Products is carried to 4.4.3 again. Am I reading this wrong or QT just ignores some reports?

This is how the upgrade "fixes" these bugs

Code:

 

-            'userid'            => $userinfo['id'] ? $userinfo['id'] : 0,

-            'membershipid'      => $userinfo['membershipid'],

-            'membership'        => addslashes($userinfo['membership']),

+            'userid'            => !empty($userinfo['id']) ? $userinfo['id'] : 0,

+            'membershipid'      => @$userinfo['membershipid'],

+            'membership'        => addslashes(@$userinfo['membership']),

Again I think the 0 userid will still happen.

Code:

 

-                if (!empty($active_modules['Recommended_Products'])) {

+                if (

+                    !empty($active_modules['Recommended_Products'])

+                    && !empty($userinfo["id"])

+                ) {

Again - why "Recommended Products"? Are they pulled off of the stats table?

So QT - does this fixes the bugs or not? Do I need to again report in the bugtracker? Or these are not bugs?

Answering to your above questions:

1) The 0 userid is added to the "xcart_orders" table:

Code:

        // Insert into orders



        $insert_data = array (

            'userid'            => !empty($userinfo['id']) ? $userinfo['id'] : 0,

It's OK, as the 0 userid means "anonymous" customer.

However, there was a bug - the 0 userid was added to the "xcart_stats_customers_products" table. That bug has been fixed in 4.4.3 as follows:

Code:

 

-                if (!empty($active_modules['Recommended_Products'])) {

+                if (

+                    !empty($active_modules['Recommended_Products'])

+                    && !empty($userinfo["id"])

+                ) {

2) The "xcart_stats_customers_products" table is used by the 'Recommended_Products' module to get statistics about products purchased by customers in the past. The stats is used when the module's option 'Select recommended products randomly' is turned OFF.

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

I was not aware the Recommended products is using the stats table to pull off products. Thanks for this explanation

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

During our tests it seems v4.4.3 is not calculating payment surcharge.
We tried in 'fastlane' and in the OPC.
Does anybody has the same problem?
Bug or are we missing a setting?
In the payment methods we set the extra charge.

modules/Your_Addon_Module/config.php

and add the following code:

before this line:

Thanks for this information but the problem is that X-cart in 4.4.2 and prior used to load all the config.php and func.php files first in each module directory, then they loaded the init.php files in each module directory. So once you get to init.php all of the other modules config settings and functions are loaded and ready to use. Now this is not the case which is breaking a lot of mods out there.

I hope that explains what we're seeing.

Thank you,

How does patching work?

I've just moved from LiteCommerce ASPE to X-cart, so I don't know a lot yet.

It sounds like from the posts, that the updated files are 'patches' that do not overwrite the old files (with custom code or added text in them), but instead take that old file and merge it with the new one; adding any new changes in the update to the existing modified files?

Might anyone be able to clarify how this works?

Thanks!

cflsystems

05-13-2011 12:57 PM

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

files are not overwritten, instead the patch files (diff) have '-' in front of lines to be removed and '+' in front of lines to be added. If original files were modified in any way prior to upgrade you may need to patch them manually

The only thing I can think of that you mean is if I had modified the specific lines of code that were being altered in the upgrade maybe? But if I merely added some additional text to a page or added a table or something that would still be fine after the upgrade?

Thanks!

When you run the upgrade, it attempts to patch all the files based upon the diff files. If you have custom edits to a file that needs to be patched, it probably will be unable to patch it, and will report that file as "could not patch". Those files need to be patched manually. You have to review the changes that need to be applied vs. the custom changes in the file. They could be changes you made, or 3rd party mods that you applied. See point #4 of this post - it covers it well.

How do I upgrade from 4.3.1 to 4.4.3?

minfinger

05-17-2011 10:05 AM

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

Backup
Upgrade pack to 4.3.2
Upgrade the DB to 4.4.2
Install 4.4.2 Full
Use the number thing so you can use the original DB, don't install any new data.
Then do the upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3.

I upgraded one of my sites to 4.4.2 that way. I'm just not going to 4.4.3. I'm waiting on 4.4.4

What is the reasoning for waiting until 4.4.4? I have an existing customer who needs upgrading, and also a new customer about ready to install.

Is it a big problem to go from 443 to 444?

Or is 444 coming out very soon?

Or are there problems with 443 that make it worth waiting for 444?

Thanks so much.

I can only find upgrade pack from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.3

How do I upgrade from 4.3.2 to 4.4.0?

Thanks

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

Just did the upgrade from 4.4.2 - 4.4.3

Only issue found was checksum errors on modules/Recently_Viewed/config.php and the entire folder contents of skin/common_files/modules/HTML_Editor/editors/ckeditor/ ... which is a lot of files.

To fix just upload the new files from the 4.4.3 distributive and edit them out of file.lst (and upload), rerun the upgrade.

Otherwise no problems so far except usual manual patches of my modified files. Looking forward to seeing if Amazon checkout will now work.

How do I upgrade from 4.3.2 to 4.4.0?

There is a special DB upgrade script available in the File Area:

DB upgrader 4.3.2->4.4.0 >> xcart_4_3_2-xcart_4_4_0_sql.tgz

For more information please refer to:

http://help.qtmsoft.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Upgrade_procedure#Obtaining_database_upgrade_ scripts

If you want to upgrade from 4.1.10 (the version specified in your signature)

1) Upgrade pack from 4.1.10 to 4.1.12
2) DB upgrader 4.1.12->4.4.0
3) Upgrade pack from 4.4.0 to 4.4.3

We have not manage to replicate the problem on our servers. So, the problem may be related to your specific web-server environment.

NO. I did few upgrades already for different clients, different server environments, even one on Win server and they all end up with file permissions changed to 600 for the upgraded php files. So it is not my server environment. Also - this doesn't happen with any other upgrade packs, it happens with 4.4.x upgrade pack

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

Ok thanks Sergey for pointing me how this is done.

top.inc.php has this

Code:

$xcart_fs_default_permissions = array(

    'dir' => array(

        'nonprivileged' => 0777,

        'privileged'    => 0711

    ),

    'file' => array(

        'nonprivileged' => 0644,

        'privileged'    => 0644

    ),

    'phpfile' => array(

        'nonprivileged' => 0644,

        'privileged'    => 0600

    )

);

and func_get_php_execution_mode

Quote:

/**
* Returns PHP engine execution mode.
* Possible values:
* - privileged if a PHP process has the same permissions as owner of current file;
* - nonprivileged if a PHP process does not have privileged permissions.
*
* @access public
* @return string Execution mode (privileged or nonprivileged).
* @since 4.1.10
*/

Even though it says "since 4.1.10" never happened to me before on any upgrade and I have done hundreds of them. And it doesn't happen with any other upgrade prior to 4.4.x. I personally would change "'privileged' => 0600" to 644 in top.inc.php

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

Since the upgrade, has anyone had a problem with the One Page Checkout?

My problem is sometimes when you update the address, and the payment and cart content go into 'Please Wait' mode, it stays in that mode.

Also when logging in from the one page checkout screen, the screen causes a 500 error.

It doesn't depend on the server but on

* - privileged if a PHP process has the same permissions as owner of current file;
* - nonprivileged if a PHP process does not have privileged permissions.

If I choose check the CC discount is removed, but the Check discount is not applied. If I remove the payment option for Check, then that leaves CC as the only option. Well then the 2% discount is not applied at all.

I created a ticket on this issue, but it really sucks!

I'm going to go download a 4.4.2 PRO today and see if it has the same issues.

That is why I'm waiting until 4.4.4 to upgrade my 4.4.2 site. 4.4.3 is not stable as far as I'm concerned.

I also just got off the phone with who ever it is that answers at the 800 # and she said that there's no ETA on the 4.4.4 release. BOO!

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released

Instead of breaking, the upgrade could have accounted for this change with compatibility code. The same can be said for upgrading after you've applied official patches. Upgrading is needlessly complicated.
