When you upgrade, there are a few things you need to update in the files so they work properly with v5.
1. All of the .html files in the 'html' & 'html/pages' directories that you use will need to have the following token placed just before the </head> tag:
%%head_info%%

2. productPage.inc files need to have the 'Add to Cart' image code replaced from:


To:


Also, you need to go through the managers and at least hit the "submit" button in the following managers:
1. Primary/Core Settings
2. Store Template-Headers/Footers (There are 5 buttons on this page, you need to click all of them)
3. Store Design-CSS Editor
4. Store Design-Misc Settings
5. Tax Settings: Set "Enable Non-Taxable Products" to "No"
6. Shipping Settings: Set "Use Alternate Origins" to "No"

Header & Footer files are no longer in the 'html/html-templates' directory.
V5.x now has a template system to be able change the headers and footers in the manager.
However, if you are using a custom header & footer, you will need to change the extension of your header/footer files from .inc to .html and upload them to the 'html/html-templates/templates/Custom' directory. Custom css will need to be inputted into the CSS Editor in the manager (agoratemplate.css box).
Custom buttons need to be uploaded to 'html/images/buttonsets/', create a directory name for your custom buttons to be placed within. Then select your button set from inside the store manager to use it.

HTH!

Thanks and I fixed the image thing. But the %%head_info%% is confusing for me. I went to the html section and I tried adding the %%head_info%% just before </html>and then lost that page.
I guess I don't understand exactly what pages your mean, can you be more specific ? I.E. I added that tag to my contact.html page, then lost it. Also the index.html page and the same happened. Naturally I removed the tag.
Thanks
Ron

Ron,
Sorry about that...

The %%head_info%% token is supposed to go just before the </head> tag...

HTH!

Hello,
I have put in the code just before </head> on all the html page in the html and html pages files, however on the contact page and policy page I now have lost the background color If I remove the code It is ok. Also note that in my html editor (coffeecup) I can see the back ground?
Thanks
Ron

Ron,
The background info in v5 is handled by the info for the body class in the "Store Design - CSS Editor" manager.

HTH!

I did the productPage.inc change and I'm still not getting the "add to cart" image. Also I do not get the templates button drop down list. Is it a loose nut on the keyboard or am I missing the obvious? Thanks for moderating and the help! TT

What is the URL to your store?
What do you have in the URL to images field in the Primary/Core Settings?

Try just going to the Primary/Core Settings and hitting the "submit" button.
Then, go to the Store Templates - Headers/Footers manager.

HTH!

URl is http://appauctions.net/agora/agora.cgi.
images: http://appauctions.net/agora/html/images
I've done the submit button on everything b4 I posted and the only time I've ever rec'd the templates buttons is when I renamed agora_user_lib_new.pl to agora_user_lib.pl to set all the defaults up. Since then I've uninstalled and reinstalled with the same results. Thanks for the quick reply! TT

Okay, there are lots and lots of things happening in there that shouldn't be....
So, that tells me, right off the bat, that you have not gotten things set up properly.
Please detail, exactly, how you installed the cart.
Was it an upgrade, or was it a fresh install?
Did you make sure to follow EVERYTHING in the following post?
http://www.agoraguide.com/faq/viewtopic.php?p=20696#20696

The URL to images field should ONLY contain:
html/images

Self Serve images needs to be set to "NO"

Did you make sure to upload the edited file in ASCII mode??? It doesn't look like it was...

The store URL is incorrect and is breaking the "2 dot rule"
Your Store URL should be set to:
http://www.appauctions.net/agora/agora.cgi
The www. at the beginning satisfies the "2 dot rule".

HTH!

So I'll bet your gonna go with the loose nut on the keyboard aye?
I did an upgrade from 4 to 5. I had the www in there at one time. This is the third time that I've uninstalled and reinstalled. So am I the only hopeless case? Thanks again for the advice and quick response. In His name TT

Thanks again for all the help. Got the site working followed the instructions from this post using ascii instead of binary and it looks like the 4th uninstall and reinstall is the charm. TT

I paid for a lifetime membership a week ago and have not rec'd an email for that membership. I tried looking for a contact on the pro site but could not find it. Any suggestions? Did not know where to post for this and since I have already embarrassed my self on this forum I figured I had nothing to lose! TT

I did an upgrade (4x to 5x I believe) and I'm wondering if this type of code is no longer valid:



Thanks,
~Ken

Ken,
Are you running into any problems? The code is still valid, not sure why you might be thinking it is not. Can you elaborate?

I haven't been able to get the calculations, (adding items/dollar amount) or the shipping to work correctly yet, but maybe I have some paths wrong somewhere. I made some fairly complicated edits. {~;

Clicking the 'add to cart' button doesn't load the frame the way I had it set up before either; it should calculate and then give the message 'thanks for your order' or whatever it is, can't remember exactly.

Your html page's input is:


Agoracart's output of this same input is:


Yours stops right after the name, but you need to carry it out to the weight field.
Also, when you are posting to the form, you should probably be posting to the full store's URL.
