I figured it out. You have to create the subscriber list on mailchimp first. I thought that the module would create the list automatically. Once you have the subscriber list created on mailchimp and have synced that then the products, carts and order lists are automatically created and can be exported.

I installed the module and added the api key. It now says the module is synced on the shop tab. However there are no products to sync on the products tab and it has N/A under the Sync remaining products, Sync all products, and reset headings. It is the same for the carts and orders. How can I get mailchimp to talk to the db? Thank you.

@alwayspaws No resolution yet. I have just been marking the books as available after upload. I looked at the file before upload and it hasn't changed and looks fine, but I haven't had time to check the file that converts the information to the database.

@moy2010 I already tried that. Thank you for the suggestion though.

@Traumflug I'm glad I wasn't hallucinating though anything is possible these days :)

Since I updated to 1.01 the favicon on the front office has changed to a question mark. The back office one is fine. I have cleared cache and browser history.

@mdekker Prego!

@mdekker Ok, no problem, I just thought I saw it and then couldn't find it. I don't have much time for blogging right now so it is probably best for me that it isn't ready yet :)

I was sure I saw a new blog module when I first updated to 1.01. Now I can't find it. Was I imagining things in hope it was there?

@mdekker Here it is: 01493435262723tblPrestashopUpload.csv

I updated to 1.01 and everything seems to have worked fine except when I did an upload of new product. The upload completed with no errors but every product was disabled instead of enabled. My file was unchaged in format from 1.00. What do I need to change to fix this? Thank you.

Would it be possible to tweak the layered navigation module so that it could be used as an avanced search? Or is there an advanced search module out there that I could use? We sell used, rare and out-of-print books and our customers are accustomed to searching by author, publisher, and other bibliographic terms. I have added these as features but the drop down list gets a bit unwieldly when you have over 1000 different books. The quick search works, but returns too many items for people who are used to putting the author in a field and the title in a field etc.

@mdekker I think it would be worth using. I have had good success with it on the prestashop site (my tb site is just getting going again after a long distance move which required that we liquidate all our inventory). Also I have a colleague who specifically chose to go with a shopify cart because of the Amazon payment capability.

@alwayspaws I used the free Amazon Pay module https://addons.prestashop.com/en/payment-card-wallet/21293-amzpayments.html (Payments Advanced by Patworx.de.) I installed the module as usual then signed into the merchant area of the link you posted and set up the Amazon side of it. Once I had the client ids and all I filled out the information in the back office of the module. I determined that the problem I was having was that the module stored some of the customer information in the database in Amazon fields as well as the regular customer fields. When I deleted test customers from the back office it did not delete the information from the Amazon fields and when I tried to use the same email and all again as another test it didn't work but didn't give an error either. When I deleted the information out of the Amazon fields everything was fine.

@mdekker Ok, I won't worry about it then :) Thank you for the quick response.

I keep getting this error: Required parameters: Please fix the following error(s) Some thirty bees files are missing from your server. (/cache/smarty/compile/index.php) I put it back in but it keeps getting deleted when a change is made and cache is cleaned. What do I need to do to fix this? Thank you

@alwayspaws Firefox's inspector has come in handy more than once :)

Well, I know php and html and am very familiar with databases. It is the hooks and modules that I am having to figure out. :|

@alwayspaws No, I am new to prestashop. And for my other sites I just built them by majorly modifying a free template.

@alwayspaws No, I guess he wouldn't then. But how can you test it on his site to see if it would work with tb?

@alwayspaws A lot of developers give you a money back guarantee if it doesn't work within the first month or two.

I would, just do it all on your test site and then if you like it there you can move the whole shebang to your live domain. btw Siteground's backup function is a life saver :)

@alwayspaws I wouldn't test on a live site though.

@alwayspaws Upload the new theme to your test site and see if it works. If you don't like it you can uninstall it and go back to the default theme.

@Havouza The index.php?... is what the url is when it is unfriendly, so I guess some are not getting made friendly. I googled and found this thread on opencart https://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=168834 I don't know if it would help or not. Perhaps the & is messing things up somehow.
