Ok, so I finally set up a ning site for zen-cart. If you find the zencart forum to be rather large, crowded and intimidating then you might like this smaller more intimate setting in ning to ask all of your zen cart questions.

Zen Cart – a Zen Cart developer and fan. I am not on the zencart development team!.

A “little bird” told me that Zen Cart 1.3.9 should be coming out VERY SOON! This will have all of the latest patches for zencart obviously but it will also add in some great updates! And some possible new foreshadowing of ideas that are coming with zencart 2.0! One area that should be coming is an update to attribute insertion! If this is added (I have heard that it will!), it will make adding attributes MUCH QUICKER FOLKS! And this should be a sign of things to come for Zen Cart 2.0 folks! I’ll update you on more Zen Cart news when I know more!

Hey folks. Just got word from the Zen Cart development team today and they are highly recommending removing several directories after you install your site! These directories are all in the root of the store. They include: /docs and /extras and OF COURSE /zc_install !!! In the past I had recommended simply just renaming these directories, BUT now due to some hacks that are occurring, it is better recommended to download these to your local computer then DELETE them from the root folder.

Also, if you are like most people and you don’t plan on offering digital downloads then you should ALSO delete: /download, /media and /pub

Full details are here at the zencart forum: November 28th Security Update for Zen Cart

Have a Zen Cart 1.3.8 and your host is planning to move to PHP5.3 soon?

Better get the latest patch from the Zen Cart Development team! Download the ZenCart for PHP5.3 patch here folks!
