Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

This is still selected by default? Common guys - I mentioned this like 2 years ago... This option should NOT exist at all or not selected - it should be opt-in not opt-out. If there are any errors or warnings the user should not be allowed to continue with the upgrade. At least one reason is that sql patch will NOT be applied in this case and the notice for that is buried inside a mile long list of patched files in GREEN and very easy to miss. It should be in RED and at the very top of the upgrade results list if it happens...

Unexperienced XC users fall into this trap all the time....

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

Thank you for your suggestions.

I have uploaded the new upgrade packs with the following changes.

*A new 'Stop the upgrade process in case of problems related to major files like func.core.php. Uncheck this option to proceed anyway (NOT RECOMMENDED)' checkbox is added (enabled by default)

*The "Tick here to continue upgrading regardless of the found problems" checkbox is renamed to
Warning:The initial check shows that some of the files in your installation may not be patched cleanly because some of the hunks (blocks of code changes) cannot be applied.Allow Patch/Upgrade center to try and patch the files the best it can? (enabled by default)

*Patch/Upgrade center tries to apply the patch.sql and after-path files anyway.

*patch.sql is applied in 'force' mode. It does not stop on SQL error.

So did the upgrade from 4.5.4 to 4.5.5 (on a non-live version of my site), seeing various issues with third party plugins not working, getting errors like this in my log files:


I've made sure to clear out my cache and xc tables to rule that out. Is this an issue with my upgrade or did 4.5.5 make some plugins that worked in 4.5.4 not work in 4.5.5?

Have contacted the developers of the various non-working plugins, but thought I'd try the forum to see if others are also seeing similar problems.

I think we discussed before some security issues about renaming admin folder, version file in root, version file in include.

After installing this new version these issues were not took in consideration. Just awesome. Was it so hard to ask the administrator the name for its admin folder in installation process, or to rename it after installation is done?

THIS REALLY PISSED ME OFF! WHY WE USE BUGTRACKER TO REPORT ISSUES?

After installing v4.5.5 Gold Plus I checked some of my reported issues. THERE ARE STILL ACTIVE!!! I replied to a few just to see them. Why is this happening? Once I saw it was allocated to an engineer (with some of them I talked before) I thought they are solved. But they don't. Some issues are really stupid, old times reported.

QT just think about like others I spent time to investigate these again and again. Why you don't take in consideration such of volunteer efforts? OK, you have your own priorities, but please let the fools know when you do the changes as version. Do not let them waiting, and waiting till they get long barbs.

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

Used Upgrade Pack 4.5.0 --> 4.5.5 and Version went to 4.5.4 instead of 4.5.5
Upgraded test store from 4.4.5 to 4.5.5 and so far all's okay.

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

In create an order in admin backend. Noticed a simple improvement necessary for people who use this feature in a real-world environment. It actually takes longer than in customer side, why? because you must enter 2 addresses. Dozens of orders are now being processed this way each day, and it is taking longer than it should! It should be the same procedure where you enter only 1 address, and then if another is needed, you enter this. 9/10 is going to be just 1 address, yet you are really forced to take twice as long by adding 2 as the invoice will show blank spaces with the customers details incomplete. Please consider adding same as billing checkbox to save much time.

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

Use of non-smarty modifiers is disabled in 4.5.5 due to security reasons.
Actually, there is no need to call PHP function "addslashes" from template, please use the escape:'quotes' modifier instead:

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

So now with 4.5.5 we can't have custom smarty modifiers? What about custom smarty functions? Are all QT custom smarty modifiers and functions taken out of 4.5.5?

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
 

All smarty modifiers/functions (both built-in and custom) are allowed.
You just can't use PHP functions directly, as well as "php" smarty tag.
Other thing is that templates outside defined skin directory can't be included now.
