nobsil Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I am customising a shopping cart for someone. I'd like to know which version of oscommerce is in use. How can I find it? Is there any file I can see this info at? And also if I want to upgrade to a newer version, is it easy to do so? I was working with ZenCart and I found that upgrading is not a simple process there. I wonder if that's true for oscommerce too... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the project version MS2.2 is already used for a couple of years it is more important to know which, and if, the latest update releases have been used. The only way of knowing that is finding unaltered files with a date of 17-08-2006 or 13-11-2005 (or a combination of both). If the patches are applied by hand you will not be able to tell unless you start comparing the sources of what you have and what is contained in the latest download package. If the version you are working with is pre MS2.2 the task to update will not be easy with osCommerce also (largely depending on the level of changes which have been done to a shop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeloftime Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 What an answer...you still did not tell anyone how to update... It wasn't asked and besides that the download package has all details. Maybe you should start reading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonquil Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I am customising a shopping cart for someone. I'd like to know which version of oscommerce is in use. How can I find it?

I wonder if that's true for oscommerce too... Thanks! At the top of this page Solutions>>Downloads, the latest version is: "osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 Update 060817" which includes all the fixes in the below-mentioned txt file. Within that download zip is a file named: update-20060817.txt There is also an "STS 060817 module patch for osc update 060817". I can't find the link to that zip, which addresses a tiny but important bug fix in the 2 compatibility.php files. I have no contributions loaded but have substantially edited code for the store I'm working on. Total time to: 1. Ascertain if the new php file could simply be replaced (majority) or if it needed to be manually edited. 2. Upload new files over ones I hadn't touched. 3. Make manual edits in the files I had touched (minority). was about 1 hour. If someone here doesn't bail me out with the module patch link, PM me and I will send email you the small zip. Hope this helps, jon It's all just ones and zeros.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
