Re: What did the latest update do to my site?!?

Being from Manchester UK, that's a superb written example (for us) of "Definitely Maybe" But for the "subsequent board of enquiry hearing...." Yes, Qualiteam are correct to advise caution. Having taken it back to 5.2.10 from 5.2.12 (see previous posts) we upgraded our Dev store to 5.2.13 but in connection with the CMS related modules, we did it in 3 steps.... We ran the 5.2.13 upgrade, but initially, de-selected just the Simple CMS Module & the TinyMCE integration Modules and left those as they were. The results proved that Core changes DO impact on those out of date modules i.e. Extended & Simple CMS and TinyMCE Integration... We then upgraded just the TinyMCE Integration Module. NO difference from the line above We finally upgraded the Simple CMS Module and deleted the (now a dead duck) Extended CMS Module. The result, is that we are right back where we were after just the 5.2.12 upgrade i.e. Everything works 100 % perfectly, with no upgrade or operational issues at all, but the current site menu's, asthetic visual effects are reminiscent of a heavy night out/bottle of vodka combo So, it's ticketed and as always now (thankfully) it will get solved and corrected by the X-Cart Team, prior to us doing our own Live Store update. So all's well that ends we'll and these details may help those currently at the 5.2.10 / 5.2.13 crossroads....

Re: What did the latest update do to my site?!?
To complete this story...
We are now post-ticket submission / completion, with all requested changes complete and our live store upgraded to 5.2.13 from 5.2.10 but without featuring any of the "...post big night out visual effects" on the menus, detailed previously when testing this in our Dev store. This death of Extended Simple CMS module made the 5.2.10 to 5.2.13 upgrade a long winded one for us. Other sites may be different than ours, but the method of "....simulate everything in your Dev store first... Or buy a defibrillator..." is now etched on our desks

However and as outlined in posts elsewhere, not a clue to us the end users (that we aware of anyway e.g. module changelog records etc) as too EXACTLY what has changed and why.... Yes we can "blindly" work through these module changes via our own Dev store, but a) see our own previous quote above and then b) understand very clearly now, why this is more than slightly annoying.... There's simply NO CLUE as to why these modules have been released and are available for upgrade and therefore, what relevance they have to each store owner. Fact! If this were for free software, okay, there would be no room to complain. X-Cart Business licences and above (plus Custom Mods and some Modules etc) all cost money however and it isn't good enough, just to release upgrades, which have as much written technical detail supplied with them, as a freshly laid duck egg does... It would be very helpful if somebody from the X-Cart Team could actually ADVISE us all, on here please (prior to yet more hours spent in our Dev store "on tenterhooks") about these two upgrades and any future ones too for good measure.

Re: What did the latest update do to my site?!?
I for one have changelog file for my modules. Unfortunately with the current marketplace system you can find out what the changes are after module updates is already installed - not so helpful right
The problem with the marketplace is while it is making it look easy for non-technical person to select, purchase, download, install a module in one click at the same time can create a huge problem with modules upgrades for store in production. Ideally it should work like this - upgrades are available. Under each module there is a short list of what the change log has with "see more" link to open the full list. It should also have a choice whether admin wants to only download the new modules or download and install. If admin can only download modules and examine/compare changes before actual installation this will save a lot of headache. With current system this is impossible and creates the problems mentioned above.

I understand that you may have issues with generic modules on modified themes and custom modules, but my store operates under a standard X-Cart theme and only 1 custom module that only changes sections of the admin skin and 1 change to the general skin. There isn't enough in there that would cause conflict so the issue was with the release of the module from X-cart. It was corrected by X-cart AND was determined that it was an error on their part when they wrote the module (they left out something and somehow that passed QA).

It's detailed here: https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=73728 Thankfully X-Cart are already on it (see messages on that post) and should release a fix very shortly. It still comes back to being able to deal with module upgrades in a much better way though - as cflsystems have described!
