As far as the Extra Fields go, I gave you both of the solutions above. They both work, as I use them all of the time on many sites.

Yes, X-Cart has a steep learning curve, particularly if you don't know HTML/CSS/Smarty/PHP/MySQL. It is, however, quite customizable as is seen by the many, many custom sites and custom mods posted right here in this forum.

Have patience, take a deep breath, and have a look at the solutions once again.

That is simply not true. You won't find a better piece of software for this price AND "open source' ANYWHERE. If you could, you wouldn't see 10000 users here in the forum. Trust me, I have tried them all, and this one wins, hands down. Yes, there are issues. But the benefits far outweigh the negatives.

If you are unhappy with the software, use the money back guarantee and move on.

P, I performed all of the actions required in both threads and I still can't get this bloody field to display. I appreciate the help of yourself and others that I have received here but I have noticed that like myself a lot of people here are not php or smarty guru's and have problems with very basic things that to be honest we shouldn't even need to be asking questions about. I'm sure all of the advice given here is excellent but it's not always that easy for x-noobs to understand.

I can understand why people like yourself who obviously know what they are doing think that X-Cart is a fantastic piece of code - but its been marketed in such a way to encourage people without all the coding knowledge (like myself) to buy it thinking it will be a piece of cake to set up your own store.

You must be able to see why us newbies get so frustrated after buying something only to discover that basic things require programming knowledge to install?
