1.3.4 RC 4 Released tomorrow

The final RC of 1.3.4 will be released tomorrow (unless there is a showstopper).

This will be the final RC release before 1.3.4 goes live.

It will include all bug fixes up to this point, as well as the release of a NEW SKIN with multiple color schemes.

1.3.4 RC3 Released tomorrow

CS has informed me that 1.3.4 RC will be released tomorrow!

The big news is that the Product Configurator will be included for all to test.
This allows the store to sell a step build product, like a computer, selecting case, motherboard, cpu, etc, in a formalized step process.

that is all for now...

Checkout Steps...Addressed with Development

I have taken the task of addressing the checkout steps in cs-cart with their development staff. As we all can see the steps are slighty out of the norm in terms process flow.

Customers have to login or create an account before they can see shipping, which many customers dont want to do. Cs has agreed this process is wrong and are going to investigate changing the checkout process to be in line with all the major shopping carts on the net.

I will keep everyone informed of the status, but it is highly unlikely this will make it in 1.3.4.

Template Debugger

The template debugger is a valuable resource for troubleshooting and customizing your CS Cart templates. It's very simple to use and to learn the variable naming structure of CS-Cart.

By logging into your admin panel, and clicking on Settings, in the top right menu , under Administration. You will see a list of settings, the 3rd one down is to turn on the Debugging Console.

Once the debugger is on, you must ALLOW pop-ups from your site, as on every page you load a pop up window appears and will give you in detail, every .tpl file included, as well as, every smarty variable name available for use on that page.
