Mon Dec 13 12:32:57 MSK 2004 [!] - max - Bug in X-Affiliate: Statistic record about partner commissions by products was formed based on the Product ID (which was not a unique identifier), so commissions were calculated in a wrong way when more than one item of a product was ordered.

Fri Dec 10 16:13:01 MSK 2004 [!] - max - Bug: If a product had product variants and wholesale prices, the wholesale prices were displayed on the Product details page but not used (which could confuse customers, as wholesale prices are not supposed to be used with variants). Fixed (Now, if a product has variants, wholesale prices are not used); Bug: JS validation on the 'Send to friend' form functioned in a wrong way (field names were missing). Fixed.

Fixed.

Tue Dec 07 11:36:00 MSK 2004[*] - svowl - Improvement in '2Checkout. Version 2' payment module: the full response from 2CO is saved now in the order details; the problem with returning back to the cart in IE for some server configurations (HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error) is fixed.

Fixed (Now, while the last item of a product is in somebody's shopping cart, the product is displayed in the store, however its quantity selectbox contains just one entry: 'Out of stock').

Fri Dec 03 17:03:38 MSK 2004 [!] - max - Bug in JS validation of the 'Contact us' form: Names of fields were missing in JS warning messages. Fixed.

----------------- X-CART v4.0.8 RELEASED

[RichieRich]

{if released then I can $activate_modules.Special_Offers ne ""}or else this include is useless{/if}

Any update on this module add-on? Same goes for the Feature Comparison module which seems to be on the horizon...

Does anyone have any more information on these new upcoming modules?

[CC]

Not found anything myself, all though I have been searching heavily.

I am looking forward to the Feature Comparison, if it is good of course...
That is if I can ever upgrade to 4.0.9 from 4.0.8!!

All I keep getting is:

Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me...
Patching file /home/xxxx/public_html/v2/xxxx.php using Plan B...
Couldn't open OUTFILE: Permission denied
Skipping patch...

On all the upgrade files, cant upgrade even one file!
X-Cart team gave some vague answer about the upgrade trying to access a file which is not of Xcart origin, but we dont have any!
And a note on how they want me to buy support points before they will look any further.

[ManFromDet]

Looks like I'm gonna roll with 4.0.9 live in January. I've seen fewer and fewer issues, problems, and complants with each successive 4.x release, so I guess it's ready.

Please read UPGRADE.NOTES_4.0.8-4.0.9 carefully (this file is included into the patch archive). Here is a quote:

3. Make sure that files which will be patched have world writable permissions.
If you are under Unix try to issue this command from the root of your X-Cart directory:

for i in `sed -e 's/,.*$//g' < upgrade/4.0.8-4.0.9/file.lst`; do chmod 666 $i ; done

This command will set up the world writable permissions on all files affected by upgrade patch (the list of the files is located in file upgrade/4.0.8-4.0.9/file.lst).

Make sure the 'templates_c' directory also has world writable permissions (this already must have been set up by default since X-Cart cannot function without it).

[CC]

That has been done, and we still cant upgrade.

Why couldnt that have been said in my support enquiry?
Instead I was merely told to pay up for support points, then you would help!

We are updating all files manually now.

[RJC]

I too will probably be going live in January. I wanted to wait until after the busy Xmas season. We'll be doing a full dedicated server, X-cart and probably a few bells and whistles. I've been reluctant, because of not only the bugs, but the continuous adding of new features (and I actually paid about $600 for a modded cart at the getgo, and quickly dropped it in favor of the "off the shelf" version, which just keeps getting better and better..live and learn). I would like to send a blanket THANKS out to all who post in support of this forum..it has helped me immeasurably while tweaking and setting up my installation. Though it still may not be perfect, it will probably work just fine for 90% of users out there. My current cart (different company) is about 3 versions out of date (you have to pay for upgrades) and even their newest version doesn't even TOUCH x-cart in terms of features. There was another company doing addon modules, but they vanished. There is also is NO support whatsoever, and they made the brilliant move of shutting down their support forum, which was the ONLY place users could turn to each other for help. I guess there were a handful of negative comments and they just shut the whole thing down. DON'T EVER SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!! That is NOT looking at the big picture. Still, with all of that, I've been up and running very successfully for 3+ years now. In fact, the biggest reservation I've had about switching is the excellent search engine placement I currently receive, but I suppose I can recoup that as well.

Just wanted to say keep up the good work. As in life, you hear a lot of complaining when things are bad, but not a whole lot of kudos when things are going well. This isn't a knock on anyone here, just some positive thoughts!

[EnriqueHavoc]

hmm i appreciate that the xcart devs are squashing all these bugs, but considering how many there are every patch, especially relating to variants, makes me ---> http://www.motionzoo.com/forum/images/smilies/basic/sad.gif

i think im going to wait another couple months before trying to go live with my store because i really need all the features in 4.0 :/

[CC]

Have to say 4.0.9 is working almost perfectly for us so far.

Only one problem we have seen which is that the Advanced search option in search.php has a javascript error, but this could be from us as we had to manually update all files, and might not be down to 4.0.9.

[adpboss]

After a public Alpha, Beta and 10 point releases, you would think that a veteran e-commerce developer like X-Cart would start getting it right.

How many of your customers will let you ship them their order 10 times until it is correct?
