Maian Cart is coded to not show PHP errors by default, but it can be a useful debugging tool if you are modifying any of the PHP templates and something isn`t working properly. OR if you encounter a white screen. Error reporting is set in the following files: control/error-reporting.php
admin/control/error-reporting.php E_ALL is generally recommended for debugging.

If you receive the following error.. The file "/home/server.../store/control/system/core/c2.php" cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. If you are the administrator of this site then please install the latest version of the ionCube Loader. ..it means that your server is running v3 ioncube loaders. These are obsolete now. Min v4 loaders are required.

The loading of the software has failed and the error reporting on the server is set to not display errors. Check your error logs. If nothing is there you can try enabling error logging as specified above.

Please see the ionCube section.

Yes, see the following files:

admin/control/index-parser.php
control/index-parser.php

For Maian Cart to run your server must be compiled with support for the ionCube loaders. Min v4 loaders are required. Your web hosting company will be able to help. If you run your own server, see the ionCube section for help. ionCube is widely supported by default on most shared hosting servers.

Whilst the cart system can help secure your downloads from standard web link sharing, it cannot help prevent file sharing.

Your "product-downloads" folder should be OUTSIDE of your web root. That is, in a location, not accessible in a web browser. This will prevent links from being shared. However, it won`t prevent people from sharing files. With standard email and the many cloud storage solutions, its impossible to prevent file sharing. Even DRM encoding is pointless these days as software can be purchased to remove the DRM encoding.

Yes. Log into your admin area and go to "System > Global Cart Settings". See the downloads section.

By default, Maian Cart flushes the output buffer for product downloads. If output buffering is disabled on your server you may find that product downloads are 0 bytes.

1. Firstly, check your paths and download file names are correct.
2. Disable the buffer flush in 'control/defined.inc.php'.

define('DOWNLOADS_FLUSH_BUFFER', 0);

Then re-try.

Yes, open the 'content/*theme*/html/categories/category-product.htm' file and use the following where you want the code to appear: {pcode} It can also be used in the product description popup. Open 'content/*theme*/product-description.tpl.php' and use: <?php echo $this->TEXT[2]; ?> This is optional and not displayed by default.

Yes, this is a browser setting and not a script setting. If you are using Firefox, click the 'Print Preview' button and then the 'Margins & Header/Footer' tab. Set all header attributes to 'blank.

Possibly, but if root access is required this won`t be an option. Some servers allow a PHP.ini override. This will only be an option on Linux servers.

No, the system is not tested and encoded for PHP6.

Sorry, this isn`t possible. v2.0 has been re-coded from the ground up and is not the same as previous versions.

Yes, just edit the 'content/*theme*/footer.tpl.php' file and remove the code.

Yes of course, just overwrite the 'content/*theme*/images/logo.gif' with your own image. Or use the logo upload option in your admin area.

Nothing at all. All future upgrades are FREE of charge, which is great value for money.

Firstly, go to the Maian Script World Licence Centre and log in with the username/password sent to you in the e-mail you received after purchase. If you didn`t receive this e-mail, please contact me via the Maian Cart website.

Once you have logged in, use the options provided to generate your licence. Your new licence file will be included in a zip file along with a readme file. You should replace the default .lic file with your new one. This will unlock the free feature restrictions.

Yes please. Use the support/contact option on the Maian Cart website.

There are lots of good web hosting companies around. Try a search on Google. Read what other people say. Remember that good support is paramount when looking for a good host, not cheap prices.

Two possible reasons. You have the threshold set to a low amount for the zip file size. Or at least one of your products is remotely located in which case the zip option is disabled. Only locally hosted files are supported at the moment.
