Squirrelcart v6.1.0

v3.0.0

Overview

This page has been written as a guide to aid you in upgrading your site from a 2.x version to v3.0.0 and after. Please read this page in its entirety before attempting to upgrade.

Offline Processing

As of version 3.0.0 the offline processing feature is no longer availabe in Squirrelcart. Read this forum thread for more information. If you are using offline processing, you should make plans to use a payment gateway or another payment option such as PayPal before upgrading to version 3.0.0.

SEO URL changes

If you are using our SEO URLs (advanced) feature explained in the section of the same name on this page, you'll need to update your .htaccess file to account for pages created by linking to content records.

  1. Open your .htaccess file in an editor
  2. If you find a section like this:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(products|categories|news|reviews|testimonials)/?(.*)$ store.php/$1/$2 [L]

    Add |content inside the first set of parentheses, at the very end:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(products|categories|news|reviews|testimonials|content)/?(.*)$ store.php/$1/$2 [L]

  3. If you find a section like this:

    <Files ~ "categories|products|news|reviews|testimonials">
    ForceType application/x-httpd-php
    </Files>


    Add |content inside the quotes, directly before the last quote:

    <Files ~ "categories|products|news|reviews|testimonials|content">
    ForceType application/x-httpd-php
    </Files>

  4. Save the file

Theme and Template Changes

In version 3.0.0, the template files have been completely rewritten:

 

 

Important!

As a result of these changes, templates from version 2.x and 1.x are not compatible with version 3.0.0. When upgrading from v2.x to v3.x, your theme will be set to the default Squirrelcart theme. If you wish to match the design you had previously, you'll need to make those changes over again using the new templates as a guide. See the Customizing section of this documentation for more information.
