[Snippet] Allow PHP in Smarty (CubeCart 5)
Although it is generally bad practise to put PHP code directly into your (CubeCart 5) Smarty templates, its sometimes inenvitable.
You will need to edit controllers/controller.index.inc.php

CubeCart 5.0 Relased Today!
The long awaited CubeCart 5 has been released today. I was getting worried as it was long over due but based on the RC releases, its been worth the wait!
I've been working with the betas and RCs and even have my first CC5 site in development. I'm looking forward to working with it.
Pricing is good too, its still a competitive £150 or a surprisingly cheap £40 upgrade from version 4.

Unique home page mod CubeCart 4
Here's a quick modification to allow you to have a unique home page. A page that is different to all the other pages generated by the standard index.tpl file.
It could allow for a unique homepage to show an image slider, or a blog or anything!
SEO Friendly URLs for CubeCart in Windows
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
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
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.
