MileStone 2a update for osCMax RC3!

[jpf]

The attached file is a UPDATED from the core software that osCMax is based on.

This is based on the MILESTONE 2a update - or MS2A for short.

There is a TON of feature and bug fixes - and best part.........

No "register_globals = on" needed. PHP5 compatible....
No default ADMIN USER/PASSWORD - it prompts you to create one!
Store Name is pulled from database and not language files.
Much more than I can list!

* Payment module changes:
- Authorize.net module replaced with newer AIM and SIM modules.
- New PayPal Express Checkout, PayPal Express Checkout (UK), PayPal Direct,
PayPal Direct (UK), and PayPal Website Payments Standard modules.
- Removed paypal.php and paypal_ipn.php modules.

* Shipping module changes:
- USPS updated to match new shipping methods. The test/production server
parameter has been removed as the test server only works with specific
test-cases.

Over 30 improvements/bug fixes!

Hi
I created a new installation and whilst the catalog seems to run fine, if I try and enter the admin site I get a server 500 error. Any ideas?

Thanks

Matt

To correct Server Err 500

edit admin\.htaccess and properly comment the BOF/EOF lines with #

#// BOF: Mod RC2A
...
#// EOF: Mod RC2A

unexpected T_STRING errors in Admin/Modules

Delete ms2a replaced Payment Modules :

catalog/includes/modules/payment/authorizenet.php
catalog/includes/modules/payment/ipayment.php
catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal.php
catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php (not sure)

catalog/includes/languages/****/modules/payment/authorizenet.php
catalog/includes/languages/****/modules/payment/ipayment.php
catalog/includes/languages/****/modules/payment/paypal.php
catalog/includes/languages/****/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php (not sure)

(or properly comment // File no longer needed)

All other payment modules seem to match the ms2a ...

The following images are incorrect in the update package "ms2a-update_v2"

catalog/install/images/header_titlebar_background.gif
catalog/install/images/head_frame_lefttop.gif
catalog/install/images/head_frame_righttop.gif
catalog/install/images/head_frame_top.gif
catalog/install/images/install.gif
catalog/install/images/upgrade.gif

These images are no longer used in ms2a and
can be safely deleted from the base oscMax files ...

Cornerstone:

Sorry, OOPS

- .htaccess - Was fixed on my test server - did not copy that back down
- Unsupport/removed Payment Modules - that was a note for me - should be a proper delete or comment - Not uploaded on my test server
- The install images are no longer used or referenced. Delete or copy over old file does not mater - you should delete the install after anyway.

Thanks for noting that.

Hi JPF

Does Easy Populate still work in the updated version? I have tried it and it appears to do nothing. I am running it on the same server (but different sql database and catalog directory,) as have a live site based on the official release of oscmax and easy populate works on it.

The only way I could import products was through sql.

Just want to check is not me being thick or stupid.

Many thanks

Matt

This update does not have anything to do with EZPopulate. There is no DB difference to worry about.

An update for the update....
