SEO Friendly URLs for CubeCart in Windows

Posted on November 27, 2009

I have a client hosting CubeCart on a Windows server. Unfortunately the built in Apache 2 mod_rewrite rules that come bundled with CubeCart don't work in IIS/Helicon.

Simple fix...

CubeCart Tax Classes on Product Page

Posted on November 25, 2009

A client of mine sells a mix of VAT and VAT exempt products via a CubeCart 4 store I setup.

Although CubeCart allows this and calculates the VAT right on the checkout process, it doesn't have any facility to show the customer which tax class the product falls into on the viewProd page.

Annoying.

Using Wordpress header and footers externally

Posted on September 24, 2008

I needed to integrate a Wordpress header (header.php) and footer (footer.php) into an external application.

There are quite a few ways round this, but none are really ideal. For example, if you want to include an external page in Wordpress for whatever reason, you could use the Exec-PHP plugin. Simple, hey? No.

Essential Mods for CubeCart 4

Posted on January 30, 2008

Estelle has two CubeCart modifications that I would consider essential for any serious store owner.

Firstly, Advanced Contact Forms - any store has a basic requirement for customers to make contact with the store owner.
Like cForms II for Wordpress, which I am also a great fan of, Estelle has managed to create a fully flexible form creation package. I purchase a copy for every store I put live.
