It will happen only if Harald (who owns osC and this site) wishes for it to happen. He has given no indication that he does. Last August he promised a 2.3.5 upgrade release of some sort, and 2.3.6 (the CE version), within a few weeks, and it's been 8 months now. No one has heard from him in over 3 months, and we're starting to wonder if he's still above the grass. Anyone holding their breath, waiting for something to happen, is very blue by now. Most people have given up and are moving on to other projects. It's unfortunate, and even tragic (given the amount of work that he and others have put in), but he just does not know how to run a major project. You can not disappear for years at a time, crafting your solo personal project to perfection, and then suddenly present it for the world to ooh and aah over. The current offering has to be kept alive and updated and supported, and this just has not been happening.

Ive said it before and I shall say it again Thanks Gary @burt for what you have done. Its a shame that others were not prepared to help you a bit more whether it be coder, developer or shop owner. Its a shame that it has come to this, but it had to happen one day. It could have been 4-5 years ago, but you saved the project as best you could. There seems to be some support from a few coders in this thread so may be its their turn to commit and move the project forward. Lets see what happens. I expect nothing.

Here is the next part of the Puzzle. 0:00 Donald Duck makes an account using create_account.php on this page there is a MATC checkbox that MUST be ticked to allow the account to be created also two modals, one for privacy, one for terms Donald agrees and sets up an account. 0:36 Donald now goes to account.php and clicks to get to the GDPR page 0:44 Donald now sees everything the site knows about him of particular interest is SITE ACTIONS, where shopowner has stored the fact that Donald signed up *and* agreed to T&C/Privacy In the Database, shopowner has also stored the details; 1:03 Donald now checks out. 1:24 Donald hits checkout_confirmation.php on this page there is a MATC checkbox that MUST be ticked to allow the order to be processed also two modals, one for privacy, one for terms Donald agrees and completes his Order 2:04 Donald now goes back to GDPR page of particular interest is SITE ACTIONS, where shopowner has stored the fact that Donald agreed to his details being passed to external companies In the Database, shopowner has also stored the details;

I can't be bothered to answer all the questions I have had by PM and Email. Q: Do the 28d Modules work with Gold? A: Yes, with some minor changes. Q: Do the 28d Modules work with Edge? A: Yes Q: Do the 28d Modules work with Frozen? A: Yes Q: Do the 28d Modules work with Official 2.3.4? A: Some Yes, Some No. Q: Do the GDPR Modules work with Official 2.3.4? A: Yes. Need minor additions in stylesheet.css. Q: Can I buy the GDPR things separately? A: YES. Q: Can I test the GDPR things? A: http://template.me.uk/234bs3/create_account.php (create account, buy something, go to your account, hit gdpr link) Q: Why haven't you answered my email/pm? A: Because too many shopowners have left things until the last minute and so my inbox is full Q: Why are not these things free? A: Because I don't do free, do you? Q: Why are you so handsome? A: Good Genes, and the Hat definitely helps.

I am not a developer or a coder so don't expect too much. It should just work but if not stick it one here and I will do my best to help. Info links modal popup Edge v2.3.4.1 CE You can try it out on this test site.https://tbyb.co.uk/ A simple footer info block addon it gives you the information links as modal popup. Why? Well on large sites it can take time to find what your looking for. With stock osC if having found it you press a info link your taken away from the page you were looking at. With the popups the page stays behind the popup and when you close the popup you carry on with what you were looking at. Again totally standalone with no core code change. Once you have copied all the files over go into admin/Content /Modules and install “JCM Information Links Block”. Turn it on and turn off the stock info block (do not uninstall original not sure why but it has to remain for the new one to work! Just turn it off. If anyone knows why this is let me know) :) This version will not change the contact us link. That remains as new window. The other stock links are not replaced. We make new ones for the popups so you can revert back anytime you like. To add new text for each link simply edit one file. /includes/modules/content/footer/templates/tpl_cm_footer_jcminformation_links.php Simply find the following and replace the stock text between each marking. Line 40 <!-- Place your Shipping & Returns text below this--> <!-- Place your Shipping & Returns text above this-→ Line 60 <!-- Place your GDPR text below this--> <!-- Place your GDPR text above this-→ Line 298 <!-- Place your T&C text below this--> <!-- Place your T&C text above this--> A basic GDPR statement is provided as a boiler plate you can edit this to your requirements. Make sure to replace all red stuff **business name** with your own details. Keep it plain text. That’s it nothing to complicated and should make the store front a little more user friendly. I do have a version that replaces the contact us with a modal popup but as that requires setting up the email I am not going to post that in the apps. You can see the email on the test site. If anyone wants that just pm me and I will email you the file.. It looks the same so be careful you are looking at correct one when testing. Zahid On clicking a link you get window popup. As you can see the page is still open behind popup. Popup can be closed by pressing the x in top or close button at bottom.

https://github.com/gburton/Responsive-osCommerce/releases/tag/2341-Frozen There will be no further Code Changes. Issues will be immediately closed. What is broken, stays broken. PRs will be immediately closed. What is now there, is there. Thank You to all Shopowners and Developers who have supported the Project in the last 4 and a bit years. Personal Thanks go out to all those Shopowners who were able to support my 28d bits and pieces for 3 of those 4 years - it is you guys who have made it possible for the hundreds of other Shopowners to continue using osCommerce. A big Thank You and from me, I will not leave you guys high and dry - you have my support always, we are a Band Of Brothers. Onwards!

GDPR & info tabs popup Edge v2.3.4.1 CE It should just work but if not stick it on here and I will do my best to help. You can try it out at the test site. https://tbyb.co.uk/ V1.0 full package by JcMagpie 24-5-2018 Zahid A much simpler footer information block addon. It gives you the information links and as modal popup with tabs so all GDPR , T&C and Shipping & Returns are all shown in one popup with tabs. The contact us is still separate link. Reduces the information footer block to just 2 nav pils. Why? Well gives a cleaner look to the footer and makes reading information much better for the customer. On large sites it can take time to find what your looking for. With stock osC if having found it you press a info link your taken away from the page you were looking at. With the Tabbed popup the page stays behind the popup and when you close the popup you carry on with what you were looking at. Again totally standalone with no core code change. Once you have copied all the files over go into admin/Content /Modules and install “JCM GDPR Information Links Block”. Turn it on and turn off the stock info block or another you may have uninstall it. This version will not change the contact us link. That remains as new window.

@AAWISDOM Since it looks like you are starting out with a clean install of osC 2.3.4.1, listen to what @Jack_mcs said. While v2.3.4.1 is the last 'official' release, it was just a hot-fix to v2.3.4, which is several years old. In addition to being old, there are concerns that v2.3.4.1 will fail when your host upgrades their version of PHP. The 'community edition' of osC, while not 'official', is the latest version. It is responsive (meaning it will adjust the display to fit the screen size (important for all of the people using mobile devices these days)), much more modular (meaning you can turn features on or off, or even add new features, all without touching the core code), and is PHP 7.x ready. And, as @Jack_mcs said, it handles CSS much better. There is a user.css file which loads last, so you can enter any css definitions you want, all without having to touch the 'stock' css files (which you should never touch). You can find a link to it in my signature below. Now, before you bitch about why the community edition is not official, nor is there any reference to it on the osC website, please note that the owner of the osC name and code has stepped away from the project (we don't know for how long), and he is the only one that can make that change. This is why the community has stepped up to produce an updated version of osC. After all, this is an open source project. Nice way to ask for help, by the way ... Malcolm

Dead? It's at a place I am mostly happy with; php7, a bit modular, responsive etc. Good Luck to all Shopowners.

we could also use this idea on other carts too ie something that can tell us if a module is up to date with latest verion and if module gets to old send writer an email that its time to update or else it will be removed as a user i'm tired of looking through search results that has not been updated in 10+ years and where the version for the module is made for is covered in a ton of dust

A nice layman's view article: https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/insight-the-gdpr-revolution-we-can-t-opt-out-of-1-4742104 There are apparently some unresolved data issues, which will need to be settled by the courts, such as a beauty salon owner required by her insurance company to hold on to customer medical data for 6 years, even if the customer requests that it be deleted. Which takes precedence? If the customer demands that her data be deleted, does she forfeit any claim that could have been refuted by the salon had it kept the data? Or is the salon in trouble for keeping that data after being told to delete it? What if the data is simply taken offline -- short of a search warrant, how would a customer know what has been kept, short of suing for malpractice and seeing what's there? I like the joke in the "letters" section: "I've found a really good GDPR consultant". "Can you give me their email address?". "No"

uploaded update: Store Hotline 2.1 BS Changelog: Version 2.1 Updated skype fa icons to font awesome 5 Updated template name to 2.3.4.1 CE Frozen naming standard Updated include template to 2.3.4.1 CE Frozen auto filename. Note: if you are running Version 2.0 without problem, you do not need to update to 2.1.

Store Logos Multi 1.0 Responsive and Localized Store Logos Store Logos Multi Compatibility: Responsive 2.3.4.1 BS CE Frozen and all 2.3.4.(1.) BS EDGE versions and GOLD PHP 5.4-7.2 How it Works: Responsive and Localized Store Logos will add a new Logo page to your admin where you can upload 3 different logo sizes for each of your store languages. A new alternative header content module is included which will display the Logo just like the standard core logo module. Purposes: 1. Serve different logo sizes to allow the visitors browser to select the most apropiate for it’s device size and resolution. The browser will automatically download only the logo which fits best it’s need. Example: You are using a banner style store logo which is set to half of the header width (col-6) - for a standard desktop screen and a retina tablet a width of about 640px would be good - for a retina desktop device with double resolution like i-mac, 1280px would be better - for a small simple mobile phone 320px would be optimum to save download time. This add-on allows you to upload 3 different sizes of your store logo (1280px, 640px and 320px for this example) If your store logo uses the full width (col-12), upload for example the sizes 2560px, 1280px and 640px. 2. If you wish to use different versions of the Store Logo for each of your store languages, you can now easy upload a different set of logos for each language. It is not mandatory, You can use one and the same logo and only upload to the default language. It will be used then for all languages.

I have noticed recently that an increasing number of customers are not having their name recorded when either logging in with paypal or checking out using paypal express. The name is captured in the Shipping Address and Billing Address but not under the Customer Address. Has something changed recently ? Im using 2.3.4 with the latest version of the paypal app and paypal express. attached is a screenshot showing the blanks from today and part of yesterday. Any ideas? Many thanks

I just installed the twitter typehead search. https://apps.oscommerce.com/c1sKS&twitter-typeahead-autocomplete-search Its a module so you just upload the files, turn the old module off and turn the new one one. Real easy now. No code changes what ever. Anyone altering the core code on the CE version wants to learn to do things properly.

Actually, all we've done is change the date on it. It's still the same mumbo-jumbo that no-one ever reads. After receiving sooooooo many emails from other sites stating that they have changed theirs, we just felt left out ... (carry on)

Seeing as though you have to opt in now, technically you just do nothing and get deleted from their lists. I have saved the few emails that I have had from unknown companies and if I receive another email from them, then I will start the asking for data routine and see what they do. Businesses have had ages to get ready for this, so why today I am still receiving emails, past the introduction date, I have no idea. I had one customer, who over the years has been a PITA email me asking for the information that I had on him. I just used his email address, used @burtGarys modules and converted them to a PDF and emailed him back straight away. I could have waited the maximum 30 days before sending it too him, but I would have forgotten. I bet he didnt expect something back in less than 15 minutes.

I know. It works fine in previous versions. I will fix it once I have time.

@Jack_mcs Jack, Valqui is right, there is a problem with these two modules displaying. I'm not sure if it's the javascript, the hook file, or the modules. And, the modules' html needs to be restructured. I looked at the source code and there are partial html table structures inside div tags,.. and that's just for the Categories module that displays.

@valquiria23 Valqui, I think the reason you cannot enable Articles Manager, InfoPages and Page Manager.. is because I you have to have those addons installed first. I have the same thing on my BS Edge install. As for the manufacturers and related pages on the product_info.php page, I just noticed that I have the same issue. I actually have not seen that Related Categories menu on the product_info.php page, until you brought it up. I'll look into it on my end and see if I can come up with anything.

Just sent out the above system for recording consent. Any problems please *email* me. Thanks, enjoy.

Simple addon any issues post here. 4 cookie widgets tab by JcMagpie 24-5-2018 V1.0 GDPR Cookie Widgets V1.0 v2.3.4.1 CE 4 individual addon’s that can add a cookie widget to your site. These are all set for EU GDPR requirements so customer can refuse cookies. If you don't want this then don't use these. You can chose 4 positions. Top -Headder Bottom -Footer Left side Right side Only have one active at anyone time. Again totally standalone with no core code change. Once you have copied all the files over go into admin/Content /Modules and install the one you require It uses the stock privacy.php to display statement. You can change the words displayed and change what is shown on links and buttons. The link to ocS privacy has to be edited in the templates of each addon. The colors can also be changes in the same file.

This shows what it looks like, you can see the Nav bar working at the test site https://www.tbyb.co.uk/ Left and Right widgets.

I simply make available what I make for my sites, so if anyone else can use it they are free to do so.

Yes. Actually, it is only meant for that version, though it should work in the later versions of 2,3,4,

@indigoinstruments Stephan - first off I'm glad you realise that you need to go responsive. It's essential, however you achieve it, to get visitors through the search engines and to convert a large proportion of them into customers. Your site guys are right that dealing with undocumented customisation is an unknown quantity - and that is true whatever the approach. They are also right that putting a responsive skin on 2.2 is a viable approach (and probably more familiar to them). However, it's dated (it was previously the only option) and I think it's actually more risky than starting over on 2.3.4.1. CE Frozen. I would also be surprised if skinning your old store comes in cheaper and given that you are already having performance problems on your site, making it slower with an extra presentation layer seems like a bad idea. Configuring your new store on the Community Edition is much more straightforward and requires much less coding. Many addons don't need any at all. Even stuff done specifically for you is much easier. If you don't have much idea of the addons in your existing store, it may be a good idea to ask for help in spotting the major ones. You can ask for paid help by posting in commercial support inquiries.

Updated to Holiday-Promotional Message 2.0 BS: Changes version 2.0: - moved e-mail modifications in checkout_process.php into hook - updated coding and file naming to Responsive 2.3.4.1 BS CE Frozen standards - simplified language constants

@vampirehunter, another option is to use smaller images

@vampirehunter You have to INCREASE your php Memory Limit. This can be done via php.ini Depending on your hosting, if you are lucky, it lets you. Another option you can try is to put in application_top.php ini_set('memory_limit','256M'); Based on: 134217728 (= 128M), it would double it.

@Demitry you do not want to loose time reading my instructions and follow them, but you wants that I spent time to repeat here for you what I already explained in the instructions....interesting if I do not do this, you state that the add-on doesn't work and that I do not want to give support...more interesting Don't forget that the add-on is open source and free and I give also support for free.

@wHiTeHaT No I dont seem to have problems like you mention, but my customers seem to all have quite short names...

@raiwa hi Rainer, I'm updating the PWA addon to v3.0 and I noticed a couple of things that are off. In /admin/orders.php you removed this following line, but this is not part of PWA. It is part of the base BS Edge install. Does it need to be removed for PWA 3.0? $OSCOM_Hooks->register('orders'); In that same file you also have the deprecated variable $HTTP_POST_VARS several times on lines 61 and 84.

A new version has been uploaded with these changes: Corrected mistakes in the css file that would cause layout issues with some shops. Made changes to css for better appearance in BS shops. Removed the install instructions that referenced database tables and filenames for the BS version - found by member valquiria23.

Instead of the version you are using, you should be using the CE version. It has a number of advantages over the version you are using. One being how the css is handled.

Updated "Contact Details" module has just been emailed. Thank You.

An open source software that relys only on one person is not open source but one source. Harald did a good job and now he should acknowledge that time is moving on. Oscommerce is a great project and only needs a little more structure and marketing in my opinion.

$language is defined in application_top.php, so you have to include it before using $language. Global $language is not required if you use it in the main page file, remove it everywhere. and yes, @JcMagpie is right, you missed one slash, it must be: require('includes/languages/' . $language . '/conditions.php');

I agree 100%. Being outside the EU, I am not going to fully implement GDPR, just the parts that are common sense and are justifiable, and should be followed by anyone holding private information.

It all depends which side you view this from, the consumer or the businesses. Here is another point of view about how some businesses abuse customers data and force silly agreements. https://boingboing.net/2018/04/21/read-carefully.html Data protection is not bad in itself, its just the stupid way the EU is implementing it. Are you GDPR accredited? Yes its true consultants are offering GDPR accreditation now. Looks like this is just the start of all kinds of shady mis-selling that is going to happen in the coming weeks. Small business already have a mine filed of legislation to contend with. About 40%-50% of small businesses fail within the first 3 years less that 30% survive into there 10th year of trading. Why is it that big government keep kicking businesses in the nether regions every opportunity it gets. MSE’s account for:- SMEs and the Economy: Small businesses accounted for 99.3% of all private sector businesses at the start of 2017 and 99.9% were small or medium-sized (SMEs). Total employment in SMEs was 16.1 million; 60% of all private sector employment in the UK. The combined annual turnover of SMEs was £1.9 trillion, 51% of all private sector turnover in the UK. Why don't they just let us get on with doing business. A good start would be to abolish the unelected EU.

A new version (unofficially named the Demitry version ) has been uploaded. It has these changes: Added code to merge in excluded files from the robots file - coded by member Demitry. Added an option to the settings to allow the script to be ran from admin - thanks to member Demitry. Changed email links based on if the script was created via cron or not. Removed the styling code since it no longer works and can cause failures. Script is now php 7.2 compatible - coded by member Demitry. Script requires mysqli to be installed. If your host is only using mysql, then either use an older version of this addon or change to a modern host.

Updates to come prior to 25th, all of which have been pointed out by users; Missing "Telephone" in gdpr_contact_details [emailed 9:55 on 21.05] Include stored IP addresses from action_recorder table in gdpr_ip_addresses [emailed 11:50 on 22.05] There will also be updates to add in more anonymize/delete buttons as well. I am also working out some logic to have a system of checkboxes which will allow shopowner to record consent... <--- I will need a guinea-pig for that if possible please...

@14steve14 Obviously with a backup done first!! This first query is the "Master Blaster"... delete from customers where customers_id not in (select customers_id from orders) and customers_newsletter = 0 that will remove all customers that have never made an order AND are not a subscriber. You then need to clean out other tables, and we know that any ID that does not exist in the customers table, should not exist anywhere else; delete from action_recorder where user_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from address_book where customers_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from customers_basket where customers_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from customers_basket_attributes where customers_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from customers_info where customers_info_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from products_notifications where customers_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from whos_online where customer_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from reviews where customer_id NOT IN (select customers_id from customers); delete from reviews_description where reviews_id NOT IN (select reviews_id from reviews); And that should do it. But all of this is UNTESTED...

yes, you have to update to fontawesome 5.0. Please compare to the core shopping_cart.php and update. I'll begin to update all add-ons once 2.3.4.1 BS final is declared

Does the price have to be in the json file? Why not a field on the Add an App form?

It seems that given_name and family_name is no longer working My fix In includes/modules/content/login/cm_paypal_login.php After $force_login = false; Add // fixme if (!isset($response['given_name']) && !isset($response['family_name'])) { //code to extract firstname and lastname from name $name = explode(' ', $response['name']); $response['given_name'] = tep_db_prepare_input($name[0]); $response['family_name'] = tep_db_prepare_input((isset($name[count($name)-1]) ? $name[count($name)-1] : '')); } Before tep_db_perform(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, $sql_data_array); Add // fixme if ($this->hasAttribute('date_of_birth') && isset($response['birthday']) && !empty($response['birthday'])) { $sql_data_array['customers_dob'] = tep_db_prepare_input($response['birthday']); }

I think I might found the issue. At OSCOM_PayPal.php if "Verify SSL" option is true it does this: if ( (substr($server['host'], -10) == 'paypal.com') && file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal.com.crt') ) { curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal.com.crt'); } elseif ( file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/cacert.pem') ) { curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/cacert.pem'); } The problem resides at ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal.com.crt and copied from mine cacert.pem (which is a updated version). Make sure you get from here http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem or this one from paypal -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paypal/TLS-update/master/php/cacert.pem

No, I'm sorry but I don't. Unfortunately, it might be a while before I can get back to this addon, though I will as soon as I can.
