  1. Thank you @pandrei I appreciate your answer. I figured that it was ADMIN related but since I do not have that many admins because I am a small company I truly wasn't certain. The NOBODY was the one I truly did not understand how to use. BJ
  2. I will admit that the acronym "ACL" confused me at first. For those that do not know it stands for Access Control Level. Having said that can someone explain WHO the install screen choices are ACTUALLY allowing AND where they are allowed? The attached image screen appears during installation of some modules (but not necessarily all). The question is WHAT exactly are the choices allowing? It seemingly always defaults to "Allow for my group". I "assume" that means those with ADMIN access. As the the drop down indicates Allow for all and Allow nobody "ALL" is confusing to me... is this allowing visitors access to change the value? "NOBODY" doesn't make sense to me. Why would a module be installed which allows nobody to access it? Can someone please enlighten this very novice coder? BJ
  3. @pandrei Thank you. I had pulled that file but did not realize it was a tutorial that included changing the database by adding a field to an existing table. Will step my way through it and learn things that I don't know. Thank you again for pointing me in the correct direction. BJ
  4. Apologies in advance for the complexity and being long-winded with this topic... I am looking for input BEFORE I make a mistake. Hopefully @pandrei you will give me the answers and insight I need. After completing the tutorial posted by Yuriy Nechitajlo in the Wiki entitled "Creating Extension from Scratch" I have began to transition a module from OSC Frozen to Osc V4. I am at a point where I need some insight about using the YII database migration functions within the module as part of the Setup.php file. Yes, I have made a backup of the database... PART 1 of my question(s) I need to add two columns to an existing table. Realizing how dangerous it can be for the novice to attempt this I would like to make absolutely certain that I understand the CORRECT way to do this. Using the YII v2 documentation located here https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/db-migrations It appears that these are the necessary commands... As I understand it the above would add the column called "Position" to the tablle called "Post". It is also my understanding that the $this portion would be similar to $this->addColumn('post', 'postion', $this->string(64)); PART 2 of my question(s) Regarding - this particular line of the YII 2 example m150811_220037_add_position_column_to_post_table extends Migration Does the "add_position_column_to_post_table" need to reflect the CORRECT info like this add_ <DB COLUMN NAME> _column_to_ <DB TABLE NAME> _table OR is the only required part the "m150811_220037"? I couldn't locate an example to follow and the Tutorial doesn't cover it. PART 3 of my question(s) During the extension installation phase does migration run automatically OR is that done in the Settings > Cache control section with Migrations Apply checked then pressing Flush button afterward? Hopefully this makes sense because I really don't want to make a mistake. BJ
  5. @[email protected] Like yourself I, myself, am also waiting on this module. As such I messaged @Ivan Holbi asking if there was an estimated and received the following reply on 04 Jan 2024 Hopefully that will answer your question. BJ
  6. @a.naghi I, myself, also just finished the https://www.oscommerce.com/wiki/Creating_Extension_from_Scratch#Finish_simple_extension instructions so I figured I would offer what I know. The extension is actually located in Modules > Extensions and requires installation and then activation BEFORE it appears in other areas. Hope that helps. BJ
  7. Is there an estimated time/date for this app to be ready for us to utilize in our stores? BJ
  8. RESOLVED Well, I will admit it, this OsCommerce v4 is massive with all that it includes and quite honestly, my memory is not what it used to be. I make extensive notes for doing this or that however when it comes time to use what I had previously figured out - I don't remember the details. In other words I have to relearn it. Since that is the case I have gotten in the habit of creating tutorials for my personal usage but since I would bet many are in the boat I am, I figured I would make them available to the community as I complete them. The attached pdf file is a step by step tutorial for creating Collapsible Blocks, complete with pictures of where and what to change or modify. I hope it helps someone else trying to figure out OsC v4. Enjoy. If you should find it useful, take a second and click the "heart" to say Thanks. BJ HOW TO BUILD a Collapsible Block - Tutorial.pdf
  9. The attached file contains Step by Step insturctions for Removing the Consent portion for not only the Primary Register page but also the Guest / Single Use Account Register page. It not only contains CHD-UKs instructions (shown above) for the Primary Registration page but also the instructions for the Guest / Single Use Account page. The document contains graphics to show what you start with and what you should have when completed. Graphics also indicate where to find the needed administration pages to remove specific phrasing that you may wish to also incorporate. Certainly hope it helps in assisting others in their endeavor to personalize the pages to their store and liking. Make certain that you have backups of the files identified in the file BEFORE YOU BEGIN to incorporate the changes contained within the file. BJ !Remove Consent.pdf
  10. I am obviously doing something incorrect. I have attemped to add a collapsible shipping estimator to the MOBILE portion of my chosen theme (Watch) as it appears in the DESKTOP portion. The addition of the estimator works - I just can't get it to collapse. I thought I had duplicated the "technique" used in the desktop but I have apparently missed something. After being unsuccessful at accomplishing my goal I backed up and started over with a simpler approach. Here are my steps (transferred from the desktop vsn) - 1. Added a BLOCK widget. a. Site Content Width b. Widget Style - Class - closeable-box In the BLOCK added an HTML widget a. Html coded with <div class="heading-2">##TEXT_SHIPPING##</div> b. Widget Style - Class - shipping-ico closeable-heading closeable-event Also added a TEXT widget a. Text - TEST BLOCK b. Widget Style - Class - Closeable-content The graphics show the simple design (with different colored borders), and the HTML widget has the +/- showing and it changes appropriately. HOWEVER, regardless of what the HTML widget is indicating, the TEXT widget is always visible. Evidently I am missing a vital step. Anyone have any guidance or direction? BJ
  11. Having performed a search on the OSC v4 categories for "Random Product" looking for a widget (or discussion about one) and nothing was returned I am wondering IF an existing widget can be relatively modified to create a carousel of random products. Or is there already a widget for perfoming this task? If the answer to either of those is NO can it become a part of a future update? BJ
  12. @CHD-UK The above works GREAT for the "REGISTER TO SAVE YOUR DETAILS" section. Do you know the edit for the "GUEST – SINGLE USE ACCOUNT" section to perform the same (see Graphic)? BJ
  13. @pandrei THANK YOU. I assumed there was a method to it, I simply could not locate it. BJ
  14. HOW do I add the state/province to the Guest Checkout Delivery Details form? It seems to be connected to the "Address Book" since the Edit Widget gives 4 options - radiobutton, popup, dropdown, radiobuttons on first view. Since the "account" is a SINGLE USE, the customer doesn't have an address book. As it currently is (see graphic) there is no state/province block for entry. @pandrei can you give me some guidance? BJ
