I checked the link now and did a download as a not logged in user, and works fine for me.

Maybe you have a permissions problem.

I had to contact my host technical support to figure this out. The total install package is approx 450MB. The folders watch and furniture inside of the install folder, as I was told are not actual folders, they are symbolic links. It would have been nice if the developing team could have clarified this to me, because it can't be a mystery to them. So the V4 is not going to be usable to me in the short term, it's too unconventional for me. The community should be aware that there are a group of people attempting to run osCommerce down for their own financial interest. They do this by sending unsolicited PMs. The fact that the new version may be a reworked version of "Trueloaded" is not a problem in itself, unless you know what Trueloaded is, which I don't, and I doubt many people here do either. People can still give the offering a chance, and if it works for them then that's fine.

You can use these 2 projects as references.

For me there is this issue, that might be slowing the process down. After the installation is created, there are 2 folders created, watch and furniture, that are many GBs big. I hope they give us feedback soon.

The installation can be completed within 2 minutes. That first step goes very quick. The longest step is the one that populates the data which you would expect to take longer, but even that should complete in under 60s. The only other advice I can offer is that the zip package is labelled "do_not_unzip". So you do not need to unzip that file. To start the installation only copy up these 3 files: Then to start the install visit shop/ in your browser (or the path where you copied to).

All the CEs are labelled like that. You need to check application_top.php, or alternative to that you can edit the code, replace TABLE_PRODUCTS with products. You will have to do the same for the other definitions.

Assuming the definition is in there, you then to check application_top.php to see if the project is including database.php You don't mention what version of osCommerce you're using but at some point the CE removed that from application_top.php

How long should it take to copy an existing theme? I see the folders created on the server, but when i apply the theme to a sales channel it is blank. The screen hangs like this.

There must be a problem in the install procedure. Those 2 folders.

This is the contents of the install zip: This is the server after installation. It creates the 2 folders watch and furniture.

Maybe that's why its timing out/hanging, too much data to copy.

I wiped the installation now and did a fresh install to see if these multiple folders exist before the theme copy, and they do. Is this right? Same for the folder furniture.

How do you export a theme? Maybe exporting the theme and then importing it under a new name will work.

If you look in the folder watch on the server, then there's another folder with the same contents all the time, as if its copying all the time.

This is how a copied theme appears. There's no success message when copying an existing theme.

@MadWayne Just leave it as is and click next.

So you have to call it something like main, click Add, then it will allow you to save CSS.

The selectors will be taken from the theme CSS, so that leaves the problem of not being able to save CSS.

Hi Vadym Can you confirm if this is a bug or not, because now I doubt whether a theme created was created properly. I notice under the styles tab there are no CSS selectors listed. Should those be there by default after creating a new theme?

The very first screen after calling the installation start. The first time I installed I added the folder name and went through the installation. But then only the admin was accessible. I got blank screens for the 2 demo shops. I then wiped the installation and started again in a folder. This time left it as / on the first screen, and that worked.

When you create a new theme and try to add CSS, I don't see anything as being saved. Is this a bug or not?

That could be due to the fact that you don't have a database.php with a definition for TABLE_PRODUCTS.

They only show on product info pages. How do you get them to show on other pages?

Or maybe when i created the widget I should have come here to the visibility on pages tab, and deselected all the options.
