The update went smoothly, yet to test if all works ok.
One thing that has been bothering me for a while - last page of upgrade "Do not close this page!" has a button "Open Storefront" to test and make sure storefront works ok. If the store is closed this results in "Storefront is closed" page. So one has to first click on the "private link" link at the top. Please correct this behavior and make the button work with the shopkey if need to. |

I upgraded but it did not go so well. I got the dreaded X-Cart Blob when I went to add products it said that the POS SYSTEM barcodes array caused it. I downgraded will wait as I have to finish the site. God bless you!

Unfortunately, we still haven't finished with checking POS system module with 532. That's why it is the developer release. The merchant release will be available later |

This is the first time we've had a problem with an XC 5.3.* upgrade.
We tried to run this on our dev store which is set in developer mode. We made the normal pre-upgrade adjustments i.e. disable our own Custom Modules etc and then ran the whole upgrade as we do usually; all in one complete process. It ran perfectly until the 'unpacking archives' phase of the process (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50440624/Z-Forum/5.3.2.png ) which is early on in the upgrade. There's a complete freeze at this point. We left it running for 20 mins, but no change... No problem with the dev store. Simply login again and it's just as it was, prior to the upgrade starting. The contents of /var/tmp are deleted automatically and /var/run and /var/datacahce are not affected at this point in the process fortunately. So, a quick re-examine of options and we chose to first upgrade the XC Custom Skin module just on its own (It's a bug-fix only upgrade option) and this went perfectly. We then attempted to run the complete upgrade again (it's now minus the bug fix module upgrade of course...) and sadly, it's back to freezing the process at the 'unpacking archives' phase. Hmmmm A coffee later and not being put off by the doomsday message :mrgreen: "Please take your attention that it is not guaranteed the correct site operation after upgrade if you select to not upgrade all. Use this on your own risk and if you exactly know what you do" (which needs a better translation into English before the merchant wave release :wink: ) we attempted to upgrade just the Core on its own, aiming to then run all the module upgrades once that Core upgrade was complete. The Core upgrade to 5.3.2.* ran perfectly. So finally onto all the module upgrades and it appeared to run perfectly right up to step 13 when.... Boom! An error we haven''t seen before 8O Quote:

PHP Code:
We can easy recover from backups etc and go back to a 5.3.1.6 dev store again no problem, but we are holding off from that, just in case XC can see a very quick fix that can be advised on here instead, having looked at the data above. Line 744! Come in. Your time is up! Thanks! :D/ |

Re: X-Cart 5.3.2: Increase Conversions, Design Easier, Enjoy Many Other New Cool Tools
Meanwhile.... We saw that 5.3.2 had been released via the Merchant Wave. We therefore assumed that things had been double checked and/or altered etc so we restored our dev store to 5.3.1.6 again from backups and ran the whole upgrade process again (on tip toes... 8O ) by running the core upgrade first, then Modules, but only three at a time, so there were a few store re-deployments.... It's not a quick process doing it this way but patience etc. Anyway, this time, it's all gone okay and the dev store is now upgraded and fully functional again. We'll explore 5.3.2 and test everything over this weekend

Tony, 532 is still in the developer wave. Check your settings.
We doubled checked your key in the marketplace; we noticed that it set in the developer wave. |

The wave is connected with the license key, not with the domain or subfolder. All the stores with the same license key will be in the one wave

Re: X-Cart 5.3.2: Increase Conversions, Design Easier, Enjoy Many Other New Cool Tools
That's a good point for reference, thanks.
Quite odd that the 5.3.2 upgrade notice only initially came to the dev store (Developer) and not to all the others (Merchant). All the others only showed the upgrade notices today, yet they are all on the same domain :mrgreen: However, we know for future upgrades now. We didn't have access to the failed upgrade dev store (see detailed previous message), but when we saw the additional upgrade notices on (Merchant) installs, we went through the dev store restore and re-upgrade process as we assumed it had been fixed - haha a pure coincidence / happy accident then! So the data we posted earlier, is obviously still undergoing checks we guess and if a fault is found, it will be corrected before the real Merchant wave releases, which is good news for us (and others) as we should then have the usual easy upgrade process on all those other installs. |
Re: X-Cart 5.3.2: Increase Conversions, Design Easier, Enjoy Many Other New Cool Tools
The error was in the post-upgrade-rebuild-hook. We corrected it. No new release is required in this case

Re: X-Cart 5.3.2: Increase Conversions, Design Easier, Enjoy Many Other New Cool Tools
I still get a fatal error
ERROR: "0" (code N/A) Cannot use object of type XLite\Module\XC\PosSystem\View\PrintBarcodesButton as array I submitted a bug report on it but when I click on products it fails. |
Re: X-Cart 5.3.2: Increase Conversions, Design Easier, Enjoy Many Other New Cool Tools
Our upgrades have all gone okay, no issues at all this time. We'll be very busy re-testing 5.3.2.2 and all the various module updates for quite a while now.
