Oh, I have an idea about the upgrade/patch procedure. Instead of the process failing because the code-to-be-replaced isn't on the expected line, why not do a search-and-replace? It's an easy code to do in whatever language. Currently almost every modified file will fail an upgrade because added/deleted code moves the location of everything below it. Sure, you'll get fewer tickets from people asking you to do the upgrade, but still. And it would be easy. Just write a program to convert your diff files. I'd write one myself but I forgot my schooling.

This version is breaking a lot of modules!

Could you please provide us with any module's distribution that works with prior versions 4.4.0-4.4.2 and does not work with the new version 4.4.3?

I will ask our maintenance team to address this issue and find a possible solution.

You can upload the distribution into your personal Helpdesk's File Area >> My Files section.

Thank you.

For one, discounts on payments are not being applied correctly. I have CC setup with a 2% discount and Check with a $25 discount. 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.

The bug has been fixed for version 4.4.4, the bug-fix (patch) is provided in the Issue Tracker:

Actually, the patch/upgrade utility has been improved in the latest versions of X-Cart (as far as I remember, since 4.3.0).

Specifically, it searches for the code to be replaced around (above and below) the expected line. If found, it changes it to the new code.

For example:

Quote:
Index: include/func/func.category.php
@@ -942,8 +940,7 @@
'c.rpos'
);

- $search_condition =
- $join_tbl = array();
+ $search_condition = $join_tbl = array();

if ($current_area == 'A' || $current_area == 'P') {

The patch/upgrade utility searches for the following 8 lines of code around the line 942 in include/func/func.category.php:

Quote:
line 942: 'c.rpos'
line 943: );
line 944:
line 945: $search_condition =
line 946: $join_tbl = array();
line 947:
line 948: if ($current_area == 'A' || $current_area == 'P') {
line 949:

If found, the exiting code is changed to the following 7 lines of code:

Quote:
line 940: 'c.rpos'
line 941: );
line 942:
line 943: $search_condition = $join_tbl = array();
line 944:
line 945: if ($current_area == 'A' || $current_area == 'P') {
line 946:

It is basically the same procedure when applying patches manually:

Hi Carrie. Just curious if "Product Importer" module happened to be on that list as well? Thanks!

I don't think that one is expected to have any issues. So you should be fine.

Just so everyone's aware - 4.4.3 upgrade from 4.4.x breaks not only 3rd party modules but some QT modules as well. Just had a client to upgrade 4.4.2-4.4.3 and QT's Janrain integration module which QT installed for them on 4.4.2 broke after the upgrade. Client sent me the Janrain installation they had for 4.4.3 and it was different from what was installed on 4.4.2 cart. And after replacing the files still not everything works there. 4.4.2->4.4.3 is supposed to be bug fixing release, apparently not

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
Here's a possible solution for modules that no longer load correctly in 4.4.3. In init.php find this:
PHP Code:
if (is_readable($_config_file)) {
     include $_config_file;
} 
After that add this:
PHP Code:
$modulesToFix = array(
    "MY_Cool_Mod"
);
if (in_array($active_module,$modulesToFix)) {
        $_func_file   = $_module_dir . XC_DS . 'func.php';
        if (
            file_exists($_func_file)
            && is_readable($_func_file)
        ) {
            include $_func_file;
        }
} 
Just add a suspect module to the array. After a quick test that seemed to do the trick. This is not thoroughly tested.

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
Should I upgrade?

Looking for advice please. New to X-cart and re-built my site with V4.3.2 Gold (not live yet) and have been waiting for a stable version to upgrade and then launch.

Don't plan on running mods, except CDSEO and maybe a 1 page check-out. Eventually will need PCI compliance.

So should I upgrade now and if so, to which version?

cflsystems 05-31-2011 07:36 PM
Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
If you have 4.3.2 rwady to launch you don;t need to upgrade. The only version to upgrade will be 4.4.3 and you will have to re-build from scratch the whole store front as this upgrade will upgrade only database.

costanza 06-01-2011 01:28 PM
Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
Thanks for your response Steve, but I should explain myself better.

I've been working on adding all of our products and on the static pages on V4.3.2, but have done very little to the skin.

I will need a custom skin built and would like to have it built on 4.4. I have been reluctant to upgrade because of the bugs with all the 4.4 versions and keep hoping the next version will be relatively bug free.

So I need to upgrade. Are you saying I couldn't choose to go to 4.4.2 if I thought it was more stable?

cflsystems 06-01-2011 07:55 PM
Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
You can choose any version you want - the license is for XC copy not particular version. In your case then there is no reason to go to 4.4.2, just start with 4.4.3. be aware though there is a problem with some 3rd party mods and 4.4.3, make sure you ask the vendors first

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
Well I lost the post. Here it is - the above screenshots are from the QT demo site - as you can see shipping methods are together without the ridiculous dropdown selector. There are user-defined and UPS real time methods. So this is how the demo site works. That's great but... of course - my 4.4.3 dev site doesn't do that. It still shows the dropdown. So it's there some setting I'm missing or ...?

cherie 06-05-2011 12:22 PM
Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
I can't speak for the demo, but check customer/main/checkout_shipping_methods.tpl. It seems if you are only using one carrier and defined shipping methods that may not trigger the carrier selector:
Code:
$is_ups_carrier_empty ne "Y" and $is_other_carriers_empty ne "Y"
That line also has this flag:
Code:
and $show_carriers_selector eq "Y"
This is set in func.shipping.php. Maybe that provides some clues?

cflsystems 06-05-2011 12:38 PM
Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
The $show_carrier_selector if set to N will not show the dropdown but it won't combine all available shipping methods together. I had this all working in 4.4.2 but the 4.4.3 broke it. And here is how it looks in my dev 4.4.3

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
Since upgrade I am noticing blank shipping charges on the checkout page, but if you still go ahead and pay it is calculating correctly and also shows on final page. But customers won't proceed to pay if they see multiple methods with blank shipping charges.
Opened a defect here with screenshot

We have released an updated version of upgrade packs to 4.4.3.

Now, when upgrading to version 4.4.3, the old module initialization routine is NOT removed, but it adds the new module initialization routine and a new option, "Use new module initialization routine" (disabled by default), which enables/disables the new feature. The new option will be added to v.4.4.4 as well.

Users who use regular 4.4.3 install, or the old version of upgrade packs to upgrade their install to 4.4.3, need to apply special patches, which:

- Restore the old module initialization routine, as an alternative to the new one;
- Add a new option "Use new module initialization routine" to the admin area, which enables/disables the new module initialization routine; the option is disabled by default.

For more information please refer to:
http://help.qtmsoft.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:New_module_initialization_routine

Thank you.

Sergey in this new upgrade pack version did you also take care of the files permissions bug? Also was the regular 4.4.3 install updated as well to include this?

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
I'm hoping the 4.4.4 upgrade recognizes both "versions" of 4.4.3.

It may have been better to roll this out as 4.4.4.

No, it did not, unfortunately. This issue is still under consideration. I think our maintenance team will work out a separate solution for this problem.

If you do not want the upgrade script to change permissions on the files being patched, modify "include/patch.php" as follows:

- find this function definition:

function func_pch_write($filename, $data)

- then find this line below the function definition:

func_chmod_file($filename);

- and change it to:

// Do not change perm for patched files
#func_chmod_file($filename);

Re: X-Cart v4.4.3 released
 
In the current gold releases for 4.4.3(zip and tgz), haven't checked pro, the xcart/address_book.php appears to be missing "include $xcart_dir . '/include/address_book.php';" resulting in a blank page for users registering after submitting their username/pass and the same in their account when attempting to use the address tab. I'm assuming it is supposed to be there for when added it fixed that issue.

thanks...it's actually not a matter of uploading the file. dl'ed both yesterday and unzipped them...both show that line missing in xcart/address_book.php locally. had previously dl'ed 4.4.3 last week and was the same. I know they repackage them occasionally...when was your dl of the file?

yeah, still shows the same date on the dl area. no idea..for kicks just dl'ed it again and viewed the file directly in crimson editor before decompressing the whole thing and still shows the same missing line for me.

This bug exists in all 4.4.x versions.
On general settings page / default customer options for default country / state is a text field instead of dropdown with states list for selected country. To fix run this sql query either on upgrade/patch page in admin or phpmyadmin

UPDATE `xcart_config` SET `type` = 'state' WHERE `xcart_config`.`name` = 'default_state';

For 4.4.3, the <xcart_dir>/include/address_book.php is not included in <xcart_dir>/address_book.php anymore; it is only included in <xcart_dir>/include/register.php.

However, to fix the blank page issue, use this fix:

- modify <xcart_dir>/address_book.php, add this line:

x_load('user');

- right after this line:

include $xcart_dir . '/include/common.php';

Bug with Gift Certificate - reported in bugtracker

1. make sure GC module is off
2. add GC as payment method
3. add to cart, go to checkout - use OPC
4. GC shows as payment payment

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED RESULT? GC should not show as payment method if the module is off no matter what

WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD? GS shows as payment method even if module is off
