But sometime it's ok when i set US Dollar's value = 1 and VN Dong's value = 17870. Help me!

yes i setup my database like i normally do. the interesting thing is...before a clean install on a new site....i tried to upgrade on my old site...and it gave me errors also when adding to cart. which leads me to believe there's some sort of OpenCart bug with certain servers that never happened on any other version.

Daniel wrote:are you using IE6?

Yes I was but I just upgraded it to IE 8 and the Latest versions of Firefox. The upgrade was terrible because I modified the site to my needs. What I have noticed and I know you hate Open cart on a black background but when it is the bottom of the cart where the Credit card logos are (from that side to where it says powered by open cart on the right) it does not retain its white color with a black background. The entire bar from one side to other shows up in black or the color of the respective background. This is probably a little code that was missed as it was not like that in version 1.3.2 Otherwise the search does work now on my local server and I did need to upgrade the browser. I wonder if the search will work with IE6 at all although I upgraded to the new versions most people who do a fresh install don't upgrade the browser unless there is a feature that they need to install that only supports that browser. It would be a good Idea to make sure that the cart functions correctly in all browsers if that could be done because most wont upgrade just to do a search on a site. They won't even know there is a problem with the browser.

does anyone else have a currency problem? i change the default to USD in the admin and it still reverts to pounds.

I've changed it back and forward, works like it should do.

check to se if there is a red erro message some where. if it saved correctly there will be a green bar telling you that its saved.

let me know if that was the problem or not please.

Did you clear your browser and disk caches?

If you set the value of your chosen currency to 1 before selecting it as your default currency, you will need to go back and reset its value to 1, since the auto-update function would have already updated the values based on the currency that was selected as the default prior to changing the default. In other words, if you give the US dollar a value of 1, then set it as your default currency, you will have to go back and reset its value to 1.

thanks!

Thank you for all you are doing on this cart.

I have a cart setup, I have no idea what version. About 8 months old.
I want to upgrade to the 1.3.4 but am scared as the one I have is LIVE and working,
I read your Documentation:


Upgrading

1.

Upload all the files and folders to your server from the "Upload" folder.
This can be to anywhere of your choice.
e.g. /public_html/store or /public_html
2.

If you have a Linux/Unix make sure the following folders and files are writable.

chmod 0755 or 0777 image/
chmod 0755 or 0777 image/cache/
chmod 0755 or 0777 cache/
chmod 0755 or 0777 download/
chmod 0755 or 0777 config.php
chmod 0755 or 0777 admin/config.php
3.

Make sure you have installed a MySQL Database which has a user assigned to it
DO NOT USE YOUR ROOT USERNAME AND ROOT PASSWORD
4.

Visit the store homepage
e.g. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com/store/
5.

Follow the onscreen instructions.
6.

Delete the install directory.

Not very informative.
This looks like I just overwrite all files, and install again. This looks like Installation instructions, NOT upgrade.
Please explain as I cannot afford to screw up days of work.
Thank you.

Back up your site and db
Then try the upgrade. If it doesn't work, go back to your backup
The upgrade process is unfortunately not ready for primetime.

Can you add ther version number of OpenCart in the admin footer for the next release please?

would be useful for people with multiple OpenCart sites

Kind Regards,
Scott

I am also having a hell of a time getting 1.3.4 to work properly. It seems if you do a fresh install it’s all good but if you try and upgrade 1.3.2 to 1.3.4 there are so many problems. The fact is the upgrade file is useless and I wish someone would actually write a procedure for the upgrade (Step by Step) perhaps a script that would do the upgrade without us having to figure it all out. Right now I am going back to 1.3.2 not because I want to but because I am having such difficulty doing an upgrade. I have 800 items listed and when I upgrade according to information here either I have errors and the Guest login does not work or my database goes away and the original one included takes back over. The upgrade process is horrible. When I get time to type in everything again perhaps one day I will upgrade ( When most of the bugs and all the features needed are included in the cart ) but for now taking baby steps in each version does not justify a complete overall of the site just to do what is supposed to be a simple upgrade. (Now you can all speculate what I am doing wrong but I am not the only one having these issues and yes I made database changes and yes I copied the files over and yes it does not work properly). If anyone has done a successful upgrade please pot the procedure here.

Thanks,

Correct. Upgrades are not recommended until the process is smoothed out better

I've created an Easy Upgrade tutorial here now:
http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8301

I would like to comment the following (OC ver 1.3.4). I have for example 2 parent categories:

1. Front Derailleur (seo keyword = front-derailleur)
2. Rear Derailleur (seo keyword = rear-derailleur)

And then a subcategory in each above category:

1. Front Derailleur -> SRAM
2. Rear Derailleur -> SRAM

Ok, SEO is on, but if my subcategory has a same keyword (SRAM) the OC is not working properly, but I think it should. The urls are:

http://www.my-domain.sk/front-derailleur/sram/
http://www.my-domain.sk/rear-derailleur/sram/

But if I click the second link, it displays products from the first link. Please let me know, what you think about this. Thanks...

Hi guys,

Just done a search without luck for a Roadmap for Opencart - has one been done for this as I guess it would be useful to see proposed changes/features to the project.

Thanks
Gav
