if you would like me to attempt to troubleshoot the install problem, PM me your FTP login information. otherwise, I would recommend upgrading to 4.0.18

I'll be releasing another update within the next week, fixes a few more possible issues, and adds support for 4.1.0

Cool,

yes upgrading is something I am looking to do. I am currently in a transition between a web agency who did some work et al NOT A LOT THEY DONE WAS RIGHT! so I have to pick it up and get the rest of the development done.

I am missing a massive portion of menus in the administration site as well but that's another matter.

Many thanks for the reply, unfortunately due to the nature of the security on-site I can't give out ftp details etc but i will be able to post our SRC if that is appropriate?

Cheers,

Security limitations understandable, I don't post FTP info for my employer's sites either.

Tell me this, is your installation highly customized? Did you have any trouble applying the modifications required to install the XC SEO mod? (from the 2nd post of this thread)

or for those who don't use lynx

You can also install Lynx on Win2k/XP

That download comes from this page (but isn't obvious, so I posted the direct file link):

install, doublclick the icon on desktop, hit "g" to get a URL prompt, type a url, press enter to go

use arrows to navigate (left = back, right = forward/go, up = up, down = down, enter = go)

intel.... basically it looks to be X-Cart 4.0.13 and no massive mods, however the company involved in the development are keeping quite quiet about changes and additions made.

I have noticed in the Admin section many of the options such as patch / upgrade , modules are all missing.

Can anyone provide any reasons as to what may cause the admin panels to be messed up, I've also re-uploaded fresh (original) files for the administration area and it has made no difference, even as far as to run the cleanup.php to remove cached template files.

[intel352]

that's quite unusual... hmm...

I'd either open a new thread about that issue or send a support request to the X-Cart devs

I finally got the chance to install this mod and I'm very happy with it. The installation was very easy by following the 2nd post on this thread, and I had no problems at all.

The category links were very clean, and the mod even took care of all those "&" special characters by replacing them with "and" --That made me smile =) The product links were a little long, and towards the end started looking funny, but I can live with that. Lastly, I also liked the fact that the links used "-" instead of "_".

I have a couple of questions though:

1) I saw mentioned in this thread an issue about duplicate content, and I'm wondering if this mod addresses that issue, or if it will sometime down the road.

2) I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the mod, but it almost feels as if the site slows down by a second or so. -- I don't know if others are having this issue, or it's just me, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

3) I haven't played around with froogle yet because I'm afraid I'll screw up something, but is the froogle option on this mod working properly?

4) Is it safe to go live with this mod? I'm probably going live this monday and it'll be a big plus if I can safely implement this.

Overall, this is a great mod intel --Thanks!
