all very odd,
when i download all your plugins and themes etc and use it here , it just works….

“the unexpected end of input ” error does not get put into the debug log
do you have access to your general server error logs ?

>but we couldnt add to cart

which menu item ? (i somewhat think this is all related)

btw dont panic when you see an error on that test site at the moment, just going throughg some process of eliminnation…

>It’s on the test site
even better
i’ll have a look. lets see what i can find

if you give me admin access i’ll have a look,

may also be the case that you are using your own php.ini that gets loaded

either way, which ever php.ini is in use doesnt have the timezone set

you will have to clear your browser cache entirely

>This seems to be the big road block for taking online orders.

the problem of course is , that there is no generic way to do that which would work for everybody as it involves carrier costs and therefore everyone will want/need a different sms gateway which all have their own/different APIs

i am currently doing something integrating with tm4b (tm4b.com) as they send/deliver sms from/to pretty much every country on the planet and – from what i can see – are reasonably priced (although no doubt there are cheaper ones)

>Any progress?

slowly.
having said that, do you have a gprs enabled printer i could send things to for some testing when I’m ready to do so (in a week or two I would have thought) to see how they print out ?

if one gets this to work with those tm4b guys one could – probably – more easily adapt this for other gatewys using their apis as one would hope one can just change a few api calls (dont hold me to that though, as of writing i have no idea as to whether that’s actually true)

you really need to learn how to use an element inspector

in chrome (others work similar), right click on an element where you need to find out what the classes/id’s are and click on inspect element , it will show you all you need to know in the console

i dont even know what menu categories where you are talking about. maybe its the title, but maybe it isn’t.

it might also be controlled by your theme.
as i have no link to your site I couldn’t even begin to guess.

>Just had my hosting company confirming that the timezone on the server and the php.ini file is set correct.

i know this is not the newest topic, but as you just sent me (elsewhere) the login details i had a quick look there regarding the timzone.

in short: your hosting company is lying (what else is new).
there is no timezone set which will explain all of the above

>So back to FTP?
yes i’m afraid (as your server doesnt let you overwrite things the way it’s setup

>Happy to provide you with a login, if it might help you solve the problem.
might be worth having a look, (wont help your ftp/update problems – you will have to overwrite files manually – but might shed some light on the updates not showing)
