Thanks. I've added it. Many thanks once again.

Hi Jon

Bought the EZ chaecout and Upsell mods a good while ago from you. Just updating to 4.1 now... can the existing files be used for the 4.1 branch, or can you send updates replacements?

Thanks

Dave

If you send an email requesting ezUpsell for 4.1 and quote your order # and/or domain, to support@websitecm.com, we will send you the upgrade.

ezCheckout for 4.1.x had to be re-coded so there is a small upgrade fee ($25), you can select Upgrading on this page for the reduced price:

Thanks Jon, good to know, but after nearly 2 days of trying to update from 4.0.12 to 4.1.5, I've given up and I'm sticking to 4.0.12 until 4.1 goes stable before trying again.

Dave, we are doing the same upgrade. Did you use 4.1.5 fresh install, then add the mods back in? That should be doable, right?

[daveb1]

Well I tried to upgrade the database using the SQL patches, then dump it into a new install of 4.1.5 but that didn't work. I then tried upgrading the whole store patch by patch but that didn't work either. Apart from the fact that there's no obvious way to go from 4.0.x to 4.1.x (there aren't any upgrade packs for the store, only the database), the changes to the database are too extensive, and I just didn't trust the store or database to be 100% correct. For example, I could see all the orders, but the customer notes box had the "wrong merchant key" text in it, and I didn't have any products when I searched for them, but if I went to the categories page, the products I used for the front page were there, and I could modify them at will... if I then went to search for them in the products page, they weren't there... and the category list showed n/a for number of products... very irritating.

It didn't help that the database said it was 4.0.15 but the store thinks it's 4.0.12, and I can't actually remember which one is right, but if I tried applying the patch for either of those versions, at least half of the files said they couldn't be patched.

In theory however, you should be able to copy the database, apply the SQL patches until you get to 4.1.5, then use that in a new install and re-apply the mods you've made to the existing store. That's what I did for my last move from 3.4.14 to 4.0.12 and it worked OK.

All I can say is good luck, and MAKE SURE YOU BACK EVERYTHING UP!!! Preferably, copy the files and database to somewhere else and do a test run, as I would advise strongly against modifying your live store.

Let me know how you get on, and if you have any bright ideas on how to do this, because I wasted nearly 2 days on this and I'm no better off.

Dave,

Thanks for sharing the details. Have you considered to use a fresh new 4.1.5 database, plus fresh new 4.1.5 files, then import the (1) customer accounts, (2) orders into the new database, then add the mods back in?

Looks like you are upgrading with old database patched to new database + fresh new 4.1.5 files, then add mods back in...

[daveb1]

I did consider that, but looking through the forum, it seems that most people have a hard time extracting the data and converting it to the 4.1 database format. If you take that route and it works, please let me know!

Dave

PS Sorry for hijacking the thread Jon...

Hi Jon

Just a quickie... I've noticed that at the payment page, after the customer clicks to pay by credit card, the boxes appear for them to enter their credit card details. I don't remember this happening a while ago and I certainly don't want this on the page now as I don't keep CC details on the site at all. How can I get rid of this?

It's obviously something I've ticked by mistake, but I've gone through all the settings and I can't find out what I did so I can undo it.

It's on the Lizzybug site if you want to check.

Cheers

Dave

HI,

has ezcheckout been "replaced" by the one page checkout?

Meaning...is the one page checkout seen as a better solution?
