Dear members of the Forums, We would like to assure you that osCommerce v4 WILL be released shortly. It was supposed to go live in the middle of March. Some 80% of our development team are located in Ukraine. War in Ukraine, started unlawfully by russia on the 24th of February 2022, made us delay our plans. We are looking to go live end of April / early May now, and will keep everyone informed of our progress. osCommerce v4 - proudly made in Ukraine! Kind regards, the osCommerce team

osCommerce v4 Beta 1 has been made available to a limited number of first reviewers today. We will work with the feedback we receive over the next couple of weeks, and will release Beta 2 to registered Beta-testers in early December 2021. Want to become a Beta tester? Contact us via the main website to register your interest now and receive access to Beta 2 in December! Providing we continue to receive reasonable feedback from the Beta testers we are looking to launch osCommerce v4 in early 2022. The wait is over!

To me, the most important question is why @osCommerce-Officialrefuses to make appearance here? @Harald Ponce de Leondid the same thing and we all know what came of that.

osCommerce v4 Beta 2 has been released this week! Its preview can be seen here: https://osc4.tllab.co.uk/ Current Beta is closer to the planned release version.

Beta 2 comes with: installation tool 2 demo front ends osCommerce back end data import tool to migrate data from old osCommerce 2.x instructions on how to submit your feedback Download links have been emailed to all Beta testers. If you have not received your link, please check your "spam" folder just in case, and contact us via this Forum to have the link re-sent to you. If you wanted to try Beta 2 but didn't sign up - get in touch with us via the Forum or via the Contact form on the website and we will sort it for you. osCommerce v4 will be released shortly as a powerful modern modular optimised FREE open source Ecommerce solution! Kind regards, osCommerce team

Your team is in our thoughts and prayers.

Wishing all members of this Community, and all users of osCommerce, a very Merry Christmas! There has been a delay in development, but work continues on osCommerce v4 B2, which is due to be released soon. It will be followed by osCommerce v4, and then - new osCommerce App store (for Apps, Modules, Designs, Widgets, etc). After that - sky is the limit. Will keep you all posted via the Forum.

Thank you for your input guys. There has indeed been some delay in development, which has now been resolved. Will keep you posted about the release of the new version in due course.

Just saying, it makes sense to free up some time next week or the following week

Thank you 'domiosc' for thinking that I am an AI machine with capabilities to translate quickly. However, I am real ... and it took me several days and hours to do such work in order to be helpful to the community in assisting 'osCommerce-Official' to release a multilingual osCommerce v4 as quickly as possible. (Gracias 'domiosc' por pensar que soy una máquina de inteligencia artificial con capacidades para traducir rápidamente. Sin embargo, soy real ... y me tomó varios días y horas hacer ese trabajo para ayudar a la comunidad y ayudar a osCommerce-Official a lanzar un osCommerce v4 multilingüe lo más rápido posible.) I have tried very hard to use Castilian (Castellano) Spanish as such is the formal Spanish spoken by educated speakers. If you wish to help and translate in the second language commonly used which is Mexican Spanish then kindly do so as it would be helpful, any corrections are easily able to be done on the existing left column.😁

I would like to kindly appeal that the following osCommerce members (list of members shown below are in alphabetical order) be added to your list of registered testers for Beta 2 release as soon as possible, as such individuals are all well versed in PHP and have been faithful to the osCommerce community for many years, thus they will be a great asset to you in uncovering any bugs or issues before the general release of osCommerce v4: 241 14steve14 aaymont aisonet AlexW12 alfredor Andrea ArtcoInc artfulweb atakale azpro aztek Barnable beciowa BenCar bitit.it bobpcbird boostr29 Burt Cafferata chuntse cornishpirate Dan Cole DAVID3733 Demitry Demitry depotapps dewarsco2 drosyrdnar dveldjean enstanaldval eshoxkenik esignermdpromd Fiber fiodh frankl frankl Franziska_Schroder FXBO gek GetSirius greasemonkey gritsop Gyakutsuki hdewaart Heatherbell hoppala Hotclutch huzaifanawaz iianideja ingrandllhdill isdochwurst Jack_mcs Jack_mcs jacketgjuggj jenswl John P kennyk kgtee Kinomoto-san kiranb Kofod Klaus H.

Oscommerce v4 is not a fork of osCommerce v2. It is a brand new solution made for modern day use. In the past it was called trueloaded. There were no promises to any previous owners of osCommerce, and especially no lies as, being business professionals, we don't lie. That's the end of your comments here.

Hello, First, nice work Now let's start with the testers I hope you will have nice feedback. Congratulation for your work

On the advise of the member of this Forum, we have created an online table with all the keys: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lNUTKEz2iwsqv4gQ1WJiCP-0bF1cm_1QD7jKDvNvi9U/edit?usp=sharing Please try to open it and fill in the translations. Please feel free to add more columns to it too for new languages. Thank you!

You can place it in a folder called shop / anything else, but on the first step where it prompts for a location you should leave it as /

Hello, Do you look the documentation : https://wiki.oscommerce.com/index.php?title=Installing_osCommerce_v.4.0 Osc v4 is more appropriate on dedicated server, Tested on my local ubuntu and with IspConfig ubuntu server (OVH), work fine tested in this moent on Cpanel, I have a problem on the last step. On Cpanel, maybe with different hoster you can have some restrictions. I do not know if other people can share their experiences and if successful, share your Cpanel configuration to allow the people to test on their side.

I think I found the root cause for these odd errors. In my case the catalog folder resides in a subfolder . So, in my case the datasource base url must point to: https:///shop/oscb/index.php Instead of : https:///shop/index.php After fixing this I managed to import categories and taxes.

Will, you as a skilled PHP Developer have the goodness to compare the distinctness (pros and cons) between "W3-Responsive osCommerce," "Vanilla osCommerce," and "CE Phoenix Cart eCommerce Software," as such would be particularly helpful to the over 355,564 community online store owners who are wanting an ultramodern stable platform for 2022.

Absolutely! We are working on the 2nd Beta at the moment and will release it soon to the wider audience of beta testers.

First Beta was released in November. Second Beta is about to be released in early December. Depending on the feedback we will be receiving we will release osCommerce v4 as soon as it is possible.

v4 of osCommerce will be made available through the main website at www.osCommerce.com and, likely, GitHub or similar in due course. We are working on rolling the Beta out and will keep you posted via the Forum. Thanks!

For those of you who would like to use this addon with PHP 8 the following change cleared this fatal error. In the image.php file, change: $trnprt_color = @imagecolorsforindex ( $this->_image, $trnprt_indx ); to: if ($trnprt_indx < imagecolorstotal($this->_image)){ $trnprt_color = imagecolorsforindex ( $this->_image, $trnprt_indx ); }

@OldPete You did not mention which version of osC your site is running. However, I will guess that it is an older version. ** ALL ** of the older 'official' versions of osC are not coded to run under newer versions of PHP, and WILL CRASH as hosts upgrade the version of PHP they are running! Your options are: 1) Get your host to down-grade you to an earlier version of PHP (v5.x). This is ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX, and many/most hosts are discontinuing support for older versions of PHP. 2) Look at the code in the examples that Hotclutch linked to, and apply ALL of the changes in his code to your site. No, he is not trying to SELL you anything. Be aware that there is a LOT of updates needed to get the old osC code to run under newer versions of PHP. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, you can hire someone to do it for your (again, Hotclutch is NOT trying to sell you something). 3) Look into one of the newer 'unofficial' versions and/or forks of osC. Hotclutch linked to two versions. There are others. Many of these will offer improvements and upgrades from your old version (such as a responsive display, that adjusts the page layout depending on the screen size of your customers. This is crucial in today's age where most people are using mobile devices). None of these are an in-place upgrade. You would need to install the new code in a new directory, migrate your data over (customers, products, sales history, etc), and apply any mods or add-ons you had in your old shop (make sure they are compatible with whatever new shop code you use!). If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, you can hire someone to do this for you (again, Hotclutch is NOT trying to sell you something). 4) The original developer of osC has sold the name and code to a new party. This new party has announced that they will be releasing a new 'official' version of osC (v4), and will offer a migration path from older versions. However, this new version is late, and the new owners have not been active in keeping us informed as to when it will be available. I am sure that there are other options (like moving to a different shopping cart program), but this will give you an idea of what is needed for you to move forward. HTH Malcolm

3-4 weeks away as of 10th of June - 9 weeks ago. Delays happen, and are sometimes out of an organisation's control. What is not out of an organisation's control is communication. Harald wasn't good at it, you guys should have improved things on that front. It's better to communicate and receive some feedback (even negative feedback which can be highly constructive) rather than not communicate at all. Please let us know what's going on. Don't take us for granted. Otherwise when requests such as number three above are put out they will merely be met with apathy.
