Kryptronic Software Support Forum

Got a little time.  The license updates are running now...

I would recommend uninstalling both the CartMod and DynaComp mods.

Kryptronic has a GoogleBase module, which I think is much better than DynaComp's version.  We just updated it further in v8.

Concerning CartMod's SEO module, I've talked to several users who have that installed the past week and looked at a couple of installs.  The installation of that module really bastardized the system.  I would recommend doing a fresh devel install of v7 and getting your data out of your current CartMod-modded version into a clean v7 and doing the v8 upgrade against the clean module.  CartMod has been unresponsive to date with providing users instructions on uninstalling both the SEO and ProductFilter mods he's sold.

I got a call from Google about a month ago.  They were trying to sell us SEO services, until they saw the v8 SEO.  We're on their do not call list now.  v8's SEO is so good, I can't think of anything more it could do.  It handles everything from dynamically writing meta information to avoid duplicates, to including opengraph tags, to handling redirects from old URLs, to writing proper robot index/noindex and follow rules, to fully customized SEO URLs with a static 8-line .htaccess file.  On top of that, you have control over all meta information at every level, integrated improved XML SiteMap generation, and it's fully compliant with W3C standards.  I can't wait to get it installed on our site.  We jumped from page 8 to page 3 on Google for 'shopping cart software' after beta testing just a quarter of the enhancements on our site.

How many of you have ever worked on something for 32 hours straight and when you were done, you were so tired you couldn't see straight, and still hadn't solved your issue?  I mean, you worked so hard and so long that when you finished you looked so bad your dog barked at you and your wife told you that you needed a shower.  And at the end of it the problem wasn't solved... Then you got some rest and got back to it the next day and the answer was miraculously staring you straight in the face so hardcode you felt like a dumbass.

I've officially joined that club.

Welcome to the club!!!  Your membership badge and rubber mallet used to hit yourself on the head will arrive shortly.

Don't feel bad.  I remember when I was young I would program all day long and not fix the problem, then go to sleep and dream of the fix, wake up and fix the problem.

In what way? Yours doesn't have all of the features ours has.

Hey Nick:

I have a hectic schedule for the next few weeks. Can you give us an idea of when to expect this software. Since clients have actually put down money and are now expecting this, there is much greater scrutiny concerning delivery of this software and installation of their store.

Just let me know if I should put this away for a few days or get ready to rock and roll. I am keeping a giant slot open for this.

Thanks.

p.s. I hope that mini cart is flexible and robust.

Yes I would!

Having dealt with crappy software, I much prefer this approach.

Kryptonics software is stable, reliable and well written. Sure I want it now, but I would much rather have it right! I just don't want to waste the day waiting for this to ship.

Well done Nick, at last something concrete. Look forward to getting our keys.

Now we need someone to customise it like yesterday so we can get it sorted for the run up to Christmas. (

More demos....

Well I have to say I am liking the home page with scrolling banners and the product filter but am totally loving the new product displays with the loyalys points, hover zoom, dynamic pricing and the tabbed boxes. It's way better!!!

Obvisously there is some work to be done on the skin to get it looking really nice from a graphical point of view but otherwise I am pleased and not regretting my preorders!

Does seem a bit sluggish but then maybe that's my crap connection at work and your busy server but hope theres no javascript compications.

The way you can manage relationships as well is now much easier and less of a puzzle as is adding more images to a product!

tony, I just did the same thing on my site.  Here are the files you need: https://central.kryptronic.com/public/i … rtpro7.zip

Just create a new directory on your site then follow the instructions in that using your devel license key.

EDIT:  I haven't uploaded my products yet though, nor have I started on my custom shipping, skins, etc.  I have about 40,000 items on my site with almost 2000 categories and subcategories so I am going to wait until after I upgrade 8 before tackling the next part.  I also plan on starting from scratch with the skins rather than trying to make my existing one work.

Hello Nick.  Personally, I like the demos very much and I can't wait to upgrade.  In the meantime, I noticed something on the mobile site that may need a little tweaking: using my iPhone, I clicked on the small, orange question mark and I could not close the pop up window.

By the way, maybe a separate thread should be opened where members can post their observations.

I feel like Usian Bolt at the starting blocks and the race starter has gone on holiday!

Still chomping at the bit here in the UK
