  1. So this is a new problem? It used to work and has jsut stopped working? You have not made ANY changes to the store at all?

    That paypal module looks to be a very old version?

    Hi, I've just seen this module:

    https://store.thirtybees.com/shop-modules/shipping/localized-shipping

    It says that can import rates with .CSV, and I remembered having read your post. Maybe it's useful.

    Yes, used to use that, and another similar one. But we had issues for various reasons (mainly we were trying to link in UK postcodes as they vary by price - and that resulted in mnay thousands of lines on one page. ). Might look at them again now we are not doing that anymore. 

  3. For what we sell, and where we sell it carrier costs are not simple

    We have multiple zones and multiple carriers defined by weight brackets

    image.thumb.png.ac28efa24d1a156872e6eaeba0d2d610.png

     

    Editing this screen is a nightmare with lots of scroll and clicking and of course that is just one carrier. We then have to make those changes on lots of carriers

    Not even mentioning how the zones themselves are just a "fix" to group together countries that have similar pricings

    But these are always changing, especially at the moment. For example sending to USA is suddenly £5 per KG more, and that is banded with Canada where the price is not going up so we may have to redfine all the zones again

    Any, that just results in a simple question. 

    Has anyone come up with a way of editing these cost screens more easily? (I had hoped @datakick or @musicmaster modules / systems may have done it, but I don't think so

    Any ideas for quick efficient data entry (Even the standard CSV upload templates won't allow it)

    so as far as I know, if you use matomo you don´t need cookie tool, because the data stays at your server and doesn´t go to google or some other third parties. Can somebody confirm this?

    It does not matter where the data goes. If your site has cookies (it does) then you must have some sort of cookie banner / tool implemented

    It seem the Website Payments Plus causing the error message to appear. When I disabled it the forbidden error at the bottom is gone.

    Correct. We switched back to standard and all is ok. Just means customers can’t add card details directly on the website, but on reflection because of PCI compliance was probably better for us anyway.

  6. A great module that I use for many activities. Looking now to extend a bit more

    I need a report that exports all orders from the previous month. I would probably do this via endpoint. The idea being that our accountant can click a link and immediately see all the orders from the previous month (actually all the orders where VAT / TAX was not paid - but I can sort that out)

    What I can't work out is how to produce a report limited by date without someone with knowledge modifying the report

    Can anyone think of a way of limiting the report. So looking at today's date, work out the month, then the report is filtered accordingly

    For example,

    any time in June the link is clicked and the report is all the orders in May

    any time in October the link is clicked and the report is all the orders in September

    And probabky the trickiest, any time in January the link is clicked and the report is all the orders in December

  7. I hate those reports, I make most of it up 🙂

    The only reason we need it is because we use the PayPal virtual terminal system to take card payments over the phone. Otherwise you don't need it. If you only ever take payments via the website and the customers are directed to the PayPal / nochex site then it is not needed. 

    PayPal and Nochex will let you know if they need it - perhaps be proactive and talk to them directly as they know your account status

    Bring this up again as never got a answer

    I now use both Nochex and PayPal so do I really still need to be PCI compliant. I am being chased to get my site compliant.They say I have to be , but I have have read I don't have to be if I use off site payments like PayPal

    thanks

    Who is chasing? Who says you have to be?

    Ubuntu 20.04 ships with PHP 4 as default php implementation.  What is the current status for Thirtybees vs PHP 4 ?

    If running PHP 4, what problems might I Face ?

    Not PHP 4 sureley - that is very old.

    Perhaps 7.4?

    Your hosting provider changed the php version on your *live site* automatically without your consent? That's just... well I'm speechless. 

    It is quite common for the hosting companies especially if all you are "hiring" is a cpanel and space for your website. Had this a few times with various hosts which is why I switched to VPS

  11. So many ways of marking things as spam, not so much from your side more the way intervening systems work - all the inbetween servers the mail passes from between you and your customer.

    For example (and not on thirtybees) many of the emails we send have pdf attachments called pro-forma or invoice or quote. But they are now one of the ways some scammers work so many of our emails are flagged as spam, not because there is anythng wrong with them but more because intervening systems see the word "pro-forma" and mark it at Spam. not much we can do other than perhaps change the word of our pro-forma but then the customer would not know what it was

    If you were sending from your own servers then there may be things that can help such as DKIM & DARC but no idea what they actually are or how they work

    Hi and welcome! As to best before dates, I'm using the module mentioned in the post you shared. @datakick cleaned it up for me and now it's working. It's not the most awesome tool but it gets the job done. 

    @haylauWe also have the datakick module. Would you mind sharing (briefly) your workflow with it for this use case?

    We use datakick in a few different ways

    • We have a microsoft access database with stock levels and prices. These are auto exported to disk. And auto uploaded via ftp to a server. This is done once per hour. The datakick module then grabs this file via a cron and imports the new prices and stock to thirtybees
    • We use the endpoint export to export products for google feed and export orders for our courier
    • We use crons to export for google sitemaps, and products / stocks for a thirdparty markeplace (onbuy)

    A very usefuland very flexible module

  13. Hi, and welcome

    As far as migration is concerned, there is a module: https://store.thirtybees.com/shop-modules/administration/migrationpro-migrate-from-opencart-to-thirty-bees-migration-tool?search_query=migrate&results=23

    The rest seems quite specific to your way of working, so no point in me saying how we do things. I can see we do stock and price control with the @datakick module and it is great.  Hopefuly someone will pop along soon with more guidance in those areas

  14. Which modules? Where did you get them from? Did you read the instructions?

    Some modules come zipped but you need to unzip and upload only certain folders via ftp

    Some are zipped which you unzip and inside there is another zip file to upload

    Some are zipped and you unzip and rename the folder then zip and upload

     

  15. That is weird that the link does not work. 

    From that page use the menu on the left hand side > Native Modules > Custom Payment methods 

     

    The documentation is there, which strangely does have that URL that does not work

  16. It works for us. We don't use it for the same reason. But you can configure it to do things like 

    If order status is "Ready for delivery" then create a csv file with orde number, name and address and email to [email protected]

    I am fairly certain you could also use @datakick's module also. Which is perhaps a better option because you can test it for free!

    https://www.getdatakick.com/

    That can be configured with endpoints which are great. So everytime your delivery person clicks a specific URL up pops his list

    Anyway, @haylau You do not need this module with thirtybees. It does exactly same thing as OnePage Cache system implemented into thirtybees (regardless if copied or not). You just don't need this module for TB. Prestashop does not have this functionality so it needs a module.

    @Kashir2000

    I know. This thread is over a year old and we have moved on. TB OnePage cache does not work. However upon testing we now do no caching at all and find the website faster and more stable (because of the way our advanced search filter module works I think)
