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.
Free CC Mods
Estelle has released a few CubeCart 4 modifications free of charge. Very nice of her.
She has an excellent record of releasing top quality CubeCart modifications. Her store is a must-visit for any CubeCart developer.
CubeCart Programming
I've been asked quite a few times recently if I do custom CubeCart programming.
Yes! I do custom CubeCart programming! From mod installation, customisation to full CubeCart installations and skinning.
Please contact me for my rates, portfolio and to discuss your requirements.
CubeCart 4.2 bugs fixed
Looks like some of my reported CubeCart bugs got fixed in the new release.
Swell! Here's to me being even more annoying towards the 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 releases.
CubeCart 4.2
CubeCart 4.2.0 was released on 20th February. Its quite a mile stone release, featuring several long requested features.
For example, store owners can now set Custom SEO URL Paths and Custom product options (Text Box/Text Area) for individual products.
Essential Mods for CubeCart 4
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.
CubeCart Mod – Side by Side Products Mod
This universal modification allows you to show your products side by side on the "View Category" page instead of the usual table top to bottom view.
Works with both CubeCart 3 and CubeCart 4.
CubeCart Mod – Show sub-category products on category page
This modification is for CubeCart 3.
It will show all the products belong to the subcategories on the main category page. Confused? Check out the image, it explains all!
