New release: X-Cart 4.6.4 Classic

Hmm it's the css speedup tool which appears to be broken on the install, once installed and turned off it is ok.

Thank you for letting us know that workaround is found. If we were speaking about a live store, it would make sense to continue the investigation. However I hope you're fine with using a dev copy without this CSS speedup tool, so let's leave Ildar working on the development of a new X-Cart Classic version instead =)

This has been an ongoing problem with speedup tools, it is usually permissions on /var/cache directory and individual cached files, as well as the htaccess in this directory has to allow for access to css/js files

Hi Ksenia, I am fine using it turned off but perhaps this should be the default option when installing X-Cart for the first time.

As mentioned above as a result during the install phase it broke the template preview so for a first time user this could provide a negative impression of the software.

However it may have only been a variable on my server as installing in the root directory did not show this issue, only a subdirectory.

Thanks kinds for your response.

This release included some bug fixes for the Contact Us Form but we have only just discovered that ours is not working.

Has anyone else had this problem?

OK - it was a problem with the required fields. I turned them all off and the Contact Us Form worked. I then put back the essential First Name, Last Name and Email as Required Fields and the Contact Us form is now working correctly.

I've no idea what the technical explanation is.

Not sure if this is related to what you ran into, but I just noticed this problem with all upgraded stores.

All upgrades from pre-4.6.4 to 4.6.4+ change default address-related fields for Contact Us by removing "b_" from the front, so "b_address" becomes "address" for example. The upgrade patches files correctly but the database:xcart_config.Contact_Us.contact_us_fields does not get patched.

The only fix I've come up with so far is to use the following tool to copy the serialized blob from this database field, remove "b_" from all address fields, then paste the new serialized blob back into the database field:

I have added this fix into the
4.6.0-4.7.1
4.6.1-4.7.1
4.6.2-4.7.1
4.6.3-4.7.1

upgrade packs.

I used Tim's fix for my live 4.6.6 store and the 4.6.6 --> 4.7.1 upgrade pack did the job and allowed me to keep my original extra required fields on my dev 4.7.1 site.

Thank you all!
