Yes. Can be complicated, depends on the installation.

The upgrade procedure described here.

Ok upgraded 4.5.0 to 4.5.1 - no problems BUT

http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=338219&postcount=18 - still exists, books theme, check the demo

http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=312994&postcount=202 - still there

https://bugtracker.qtmsoft.com/view.php?id=41595 - still there, check the demo - letter O

Now another thing - the add to cart popup is nice but guys please - consistency. XC 4.5.1 now has 4 different looking popups

1. Add to cart popup
2. Popups like login or shipping estimator
3. Error popups - still the ugly top right corner popups
4. Images popup - like detailed images

How about pick one and stick to it so there is consitency through out the whole site. I like colorbox one but the new "add to cart" popup is also very nice, better looking than the other popups (I think is all css changes but still)

I suspect this bug exists in 4.4.x and 4.5.x. Have all 3 security settings in admin checked - login https and redirect to http. Then login. Browse. No matter if you are on http or https page - click on logout. Cart redirects to https. Reason - url is login.php?mode=logout. login.php is one of the https scripts. It should NOT redirect to https - it should redirect to http. Simple fix until QT provides an offical one

In /home/cmarket/public_html/https.php find

    if (empty($https_scripts))
        return false;

and after add

 // added by CFL Systems to avoid https when loggin out
 $p = strpos($link, 'logout');
 if ($p !== false)
  return false;

I agree Steve. XC needs a professional look for popup windows (confirm, warning, error, ...). If possible the same for all windows front end/back end. And fast ...

> Program Logic issue. One thing I really don't like is about ordering a quantity more than inventory can supply. Let's say in stock are 5 pieces and I change in cart page to 10 pieces. After update process, quantity box shows 5 pieces (all quantity in stock) but XC should display a warning pop up window ("your request exceeds the number of items in stock"). All popular carts have this window which makes the buyer understands what is going on. Even LiteCommerce 3 has a nice way to let customer know when stock quantity is exceeded (* Maximum value is 1000). Why not XC? Is it so challenging to include it in the next version?

Totally agree with you on this, it is 2012 afterall! Seems strange how they haven't done it already to be honest, seems like lazyness though!

Thank you all for the feedbacks, they are appreciated. We will take your suggestions regarding the pop-ups into consideration. I can assure that it's definitely not a lazyness, we are intensively working and trying to do our best to improve the software and make it even better than it's now.

I agree don't think its laziness its just that engineers creates things all the time without all the finer points or parts. Microsoft releases service packs continually for all there products and Apple releases updates. This I think is because they didn't think of some circumstances or they needed to do some more brain storming to get best possible ideas.

Two improvements I would like to see in the popup add to cart is one, the addition of showing related products, showing of random products is good but I think related products has a better chance of increasing sales.

Two, A popup for when a coupon is applied. The current setup with X-Cart is not good as when coupon is applied in error. If you are not looking in the top right hand corner you will be wondering what happen as the message displays for a couple seconds and disappears.

I read in instructions to go to 'apply patch' and select from the target menu 4.5.1

but it says none available.

I'm on 4.5.0 by the way. Any other way to upgrade?

Did you download and then decompress the files from your help desk. Then upload them to the server. Then the files for upgrade will show.

Make sre to back every thing up first.
