Has anyone else seen this issue?

Could you record a video of this issue?
Please note that it is not possible to enable/disable more than one module simultaneously. Also some modules just do page reload on enable/disable due to their functionality requirements.

Vladimir solved this -- looks like var directory needs to be chmod 777, but the installation instructions tell us:

Quote:
Before you start using X-Cart, please restore secure permissions as advised below:
chmod 755 var

If the script tells me to chmod 755 var, I will. SO to anyone installing 4.6.0, please note the new module manager requires chmod 777 var

Just sharing. Hope this helps someone.

Installed 4.6.0 from scratch using Books & Magazine skin. Added product to lower category. When viewing from the store side each time a product is added, the newly added product shows up in New Arrival on both parent category and the subject category. However, it does not necessary show up in the subject category each time.

After adding more products to the subject category, sometime the new product will show up but as more product is added, sometime the newly added product again does not show up.

Sometime this can be resolve by clicking one of the sort by parameter but not necessary every time.

Not all server configs allow for 777 permissions. So how is this solved on such servers...?

I am about to give up on getting PayPal Payments Advanced to work in 4.6.

Already spent three hours on the phone with PayPal 2nd tier shopping cart support and they claim the settings should work. But am still getting the error message:

'Some required information is missing or incorrect. Please correct the fields below and try again.

Error: Token is missing. Please return to the website from were you started your purchase and try again.'

PayPal claims that we are authenticating correctly but are not passing all of the required information. Is this broken in 4.6?

Please advise if I should open a trouble ticket/bug report.

thanks,

Tony, thank you for your question. Yes, you faced an issue which is a price for win in speed. Let me explain further.

This issue appears only when products are being switched from NOT available to available ( enabled, returned to stock etc), and never vice versa (if the product gets out of stock/disabled/removed, it disappears right away).

This is what we call 'product publishing time'. By default this time does not exceed 1 hour - till cache expires.

Possible solutions:

1) the easiest is to wait - no more than 1 hour (unless you modified cache ttl in config)

2) Clear cache by executing cleanup.php. Note that to execute this script you need auth code now, so the URL should look like this:

yourdomain.com/cleanup.php?auth_code=AUTH_CODE_GOES_HERE

Important: this script will clear all the caches (modules functions, Smarty) and your store will temporary slow down as the caches will need to be rebuilt.

3) You may play with cache TTL value in include/data_cache.php

Code:
'getRangeProductIds' => array( 'func' => 'getRangeProductIds', 'class' => 'XCRangeProductIds', 'ttl' => 3600, // 60 minutes to invalidate cache bt:#0132187 'use_func_cache_logic' => TRUE, 'dir' => 'search_cache', 'hashedDirectoryLevel' => 1,


But if you set it to too small value, and your store will need to rebuild cache too often, you will hardly enjoy the win in speed.

4) the most accurate solution ( if you want to speed up the product appearing but not affect the speed in general) is to clear not all the caches, but search cache only:

Code:
rm -r var/cache/search_cache/


Also, X-Cart architects will keep working on making X-Cart caching 'smarter'.

thanks,

Marc, I'm sorry, but unfortunately we can not troubleshoot the problem without investigation. Thus, yes, submitting a new ticket in HelpDesk ( and do not forget about FTP/SSH access info posted via special secure form) will be the most optimal solution.

Steve, thank you for attentive approach.
We assume that this very issue appears only on those servers where 755 are not sufficient, and such servers should allow 777.

So the potential problem you're asking about seems to exist in theory only.

But should it really appear, the architects will offer a solution or at least a workaround.
