Re: X-Cart 5.0.11 is released

Hello Alex or Tony,

1st, thanks for arranging temporary licence for Product Feeds.

I have tried to upgrade but I'm left with Closed for Maintenance.

It came with 500 server fault, I selected back in browser and it said upgrade failled, I tried again and got same response so tried to refresh browser then it says Closed for maintenance.

Last week I tried to disable product feed and got the same, backing out got me working again. I tried to upgrade but had the same as today but that day I just restored the server to day before.

Any idea when multi currency mod is coming for this? I can't even begin to use this until that time, development plans on hold.

Re: X-Cart 5.0.11 is released

Bug: after you have added a product to cart, in search drop-down, if you select the same product by search, it informs you to "add-more" as the product is in your cart, however on product page and pop-up even though it reads this product is already in your cart, the cart button still reads add-to-cart, instead of add-more.

Re: X-Cart 5.0.11 is released

Bug: When I checked "show only in stock items" and updated the page. I was left with products which were "not in stock". The products were coming soon with 0 quantity available. Not sure what the function is of this feature but I expected the coming soon products to be eliminated.

Re: X-Cart 5.0.11 is released

Bug: There is a conflict in your method for the filter products.

Lets say you have 3 products between $1-$20. The price bar will reflect this for these 3 products, because these are the only 3 products available. This is correct.

In the same filter page, you list manufacturers which are not associated with any of the 3 products listed. Therefore they are 0-leads and will return an Oops error page when you select them. It is assumed by your price $1-$20 that you are filtering the current products, so why list other product attributes which are not these 3 products? Is this a global setting? In any case its a bug because only the products in question in view should be referenced in the filter modules, regardless of global or not. because you are not filtering anything and because prices are also a global setting.

Hello Kevin,

This may be an issue of the Product Feeds beta version installed on your server. I'll ask the module developer to reply you at https://secure.x-cart.com/.

This is a bug that this option is not shown up. We will fix it.

The spacing on the homepage is blank for the breadcrumbs, I think there should be no <div id"breadcrumbs></div> on the homepage, because it is empty and taking the space at the top of the page.

Confirmed. We will fix it.

Bug: there is no way to delete a category image. The only option is to replace it. On the product page, it is possible to delete the product image, but not for categories? why is that?

This is a bug and it will be fixed during upload image widget rework.

Quote:

Bug: rating product on add-to-cart pop-up. When you hover to rate a product, it shows only half of the dialog box info which is cut off.

We will fix it.

Quote:

In a lot of the product settings, you can choose whether to display in the main area or the sidebar. How about a setting to display the categories in the sidebar, or in the main-menu links at the top.

Could you please let me know what options you are talking about?

Quote:

Add option to be able to only review product if the product is considered in-stock on the release date. How can customer review before it has arrived?

Agreed. It needs to be fixed.

Quote:

Yes, this is a bug. We should always show Add to bag instead of Buy more.

Quote:

This will be fixed.

Quote:

If you have a global attribute, you must be able to filter by it even though some product may not have it specified. However, I would agree that you should have had an option "Unspecified" in this case.

As for more sophisticated solution, when product filter only contains available options for the product that were already filtered (i.e. do not allow to filter by manufacturer those 3 products), I agree, it is a great suggestion, but it will require Product filter rework. Anyway, I will add it to our TODO list.

Thank you, Richard, for your feedback! Just one appeal: please post bug reports in our bug-tracker here: https://bt.x-cart.com/ It will allow us to handle such requests quicker and we will be sure not to miss any report.

Hi Kevin!

We expect to release Multi-Currency in about 3~4 months.

If you change the default size of the product image to a bigger size, the page simply breaks.

Could you please send me a snapshot of the broken page?

Quote:

Default product image is a small 300px which is barely bigger than a thumbnail. Worse, the store will generate a poorer quality product image if you upload a larger size, without any apparant option for it not to do that to the main product image. Only detailed image is not reduced in quality. Therefore your product image looks second rate, when you might want a high-quality image. The css could easily have a max-height setting, like in XC4

We are planning to implement that even if you define one image, it will be displayed in high quality.

Quote:

Its set at 300px 300px by default as the max size. However the option is useless because in order to make it bigger, the page will all fail as the elements appear hardcoded with widths and heights relating to 300px 300px. So I will need to change the css to overwrite each css class including .product-photo and .product-details-info otherwise the image will overlap the detailed images, the arrow navigation and other product content.

The re-size product image only appears to work when there are detailed images. I have cleared the cache on the store, and despite changing the default width and height to 500px, the store is hardcoded with 330px 330px, even though the image size on both product 1 and product 2 is 500px width and height original size. But only the product with detailed images shows the 500px product image, but even with the detailed images product page, there is a conflict as the hardcoded fixed width first appears and then the size setting you choose suddenly appears and jumps over the previous image/ re-sizes.

This needs to be fixed. Product image sells to the customer and although the detailed images are good, the setting for changing the size of the image does not work and there is no option to avoid downgrading the image quality. Also you have not kept the original-filename.jpg, so all of the google image seo will be lost. Instead when resizing the image, you rename my seo image which had been done for all the products. Now it is simply know as productid.jpg, which is almost impossible for google to index

This is the most important page in the whole cart as it is selling the product to the customer, everything follows around this.

At early stage our assumption regarding image size was that the image size is dictated by the theme and apparently this is wrong assumption. I will discuss with the team what we can do in this sense.

Tony.
