Store Back Up
Oh man. I just realized its been a few months since I’ve posted here last. I apologize for that, and I’ll try to start posting more frequently. Back to the topic of this post: the RRRF store is back up after being down for a few days.
Unfortunately, I was running what may have been the oldest version of OSCommerce in the history of the universe. So old that it required PHP4 to run. Well, it just so happened that my host discontinued PHP4 in August, and when I edited the domain, it was permanently switched to PHP5 this past weekend. Well, that broke the shopping cart software beyond repair.
So, I finally bit the bullet and upgraded the software to Zen Cart, which is a fork of OSCommerce. Luckily the import from OSCommerce to Zen Cart was fairly painless and all the product info, images, order info, customer info, etc was all successfully transferred!
The biggest pain was getting the store setup again. I lost all the configuration options during the upgrade which really sucks. Hopefully I got everything back to normal and functioning properly. There are bound to be little things here and there that are not quite right, so please let me know if you find anything funky.
Thanks for bearing with me.
Cheers,
Zach

Any date on more complete electronics kits? Store says “out of stock”.
i’m back from vacation on Dec 3rd and I’ll be making quite a few more kits then.
If you go to the Thermoplast Extruder category, there are only two items shown, but there are six items on the “Latest Products - Thermoplast Extruder” picture gallery at the bottom. Clicking on any of them comes up with a “product not found” page.
Are there really only two items in that section, or will those other parts be showing up again sometime soon?
How’s your cash flow? Do you need me to pay for a full electronics kit now?
