Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

doing a 4.6.6 to 4.7.1 upgrade..

in skin/common_files/customer/main/product_details.tpl

the diff file shows

But I cannot find that code at all and I'm pretty sure my file is unmodified from 4.6.6. Can you guys check?

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Just encountered a strange issue with a fresh installation of v4.7.1 Platinum.

I closed the store, then it dumped me out of admin and I can no longer get back in.

I can re-open the store by setting 'shop_closed' to 'N' in the 'xcart_config' table, but I still can't get into admin.

Resetting the admin password doesn't seem to work either. When I try, there's no confirmation messages, it just goes back to the admin login page.

I checked the error logs, nothing in there. Everything seemed fine, until I closed the store.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Try clearing cookies?

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

I tried that, still no luck. My other sites let me into admin without issue. Have you installed v4.7.1 yet?

EDIT: Must be something to do with my browser, I'll let you know :)
EDIT: Solved... CCleaner sorted it

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

The code is present in the default X-Cart 4.6.6

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

really good news. i will update www.eyewearcanda.com to the latest xcart today.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

hope xcart 471 runs as fast as planes.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

does this version support fixed global variants?

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Strange, i downloaded a complete 4.6.6. The header for that file says

My backup from my 4.6.6 site says:
Mind you its been upgraded a few times, but something isnt right if the two files I have look nothing alike.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Hmmmm....

"Every X-Cart store based on version 4.7.0 and higher will get one year access to free upgrade packs within branch 4. After that the upgrade license fee is to be paid to get the upgrade packs.

All the stores based on versions 4.6.6 and earlier can download the upgrade packs free of charge at any time, but once you install a fresh store of version 4.7.x or upgrade your store to v 4.7.x, you automatically agree with the new license agreement."

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

I updated our test store to 4.7.1 and the upgrade went quite smooth!
Where can I enable & test PayPal in context checkout?

Are there any X-Cart modules that need to be updated from 4.6.6 in order to keep functioning correctly?

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

You read that right. Its the last free upgrade. I'm glad, as it is an unsustainable business model that is being retired. This ensures X-Cart 4.X viability into the future.


Built in modules would be upgraded automatically with the rest of the system. 3rd party modules are not.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Thanks!

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Yes, are there any docs for this available?

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Ignore my post... :D

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

If the store country is 'US', 'GB', 'FR', 'DE'

and if the currency is 'USD', 'EUR', 'GBP'

and if Express Checkout by PayPal is enabled, it will work in the In-Context checkout mode automatically.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Why only in US/GB/FR/DE?

There is no reason to exclude other European countries that use the Euro, such as The Netherlands in our case.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

We developed the integration in accordance to PayPal's specs. There are limitations on PayPal side which do not allow to use this magic feature in the Netherlands, unfortunately:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/in-context/#eligibility-review

However we noticed that compared to the original list of countries where the merchant account must be registered, PayPal has already enlarged it, so it's very likely that one day the feature will come to the other European countries too.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

can you confirm that your Sport Life skin is compatible with 4.7.1? The Common files/customer/main/product_details.tpl file is the only thing i had an issue with which wouldnt be used with that skin.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Hi, we have updated the Sport Life skin for 4.7.x. Feel free to find the new package in the HelpDesk file area.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

The list of supported countries and currencies will be expanded in the next version, the changes have already been committed:

M:0144048[*] Improvement: *CHECKOUT* Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey buyer's allowed countries are added for In-Context Checkout in Express Checkout. Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Danish Krone, Norwegian Krone, Polish Zloty, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and Turkish Lira currencies are added.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Hi, guys!

We've recently found out that the behavior of the smarty modificator http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.modifier.default.tpl in smarty3 (4.7.x) differs from the behavior in smarty2 (46x).

The default smarty modificator won't work for 0 or false values, thus to make it work like in previous versions, we strongly recommend to delete the file include/lib/smarty3/plugins/modifiercompiler.default.php from the 4.7.х X-Cart installation (invoke: rm include/lib/smarty3/plugins/modifiercompiler.default.php via SSH / FTP).

After that you should delete the var/templates_c folder from the 4.7.x installation. It can be done manually via SSH / FTP or via cleanup.php tool. This folder cannot be removed via admin backend e.g. admin/tools.php.

Re: We've released 4.7.1
 

Should i upgrade the skin before or after the update? Is it backwards compatible?
