osCommerce 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 Upgrade Notes

We are working to update our osCommerce platform and as we deploy both the 2.2 and 2.3 based engines; so we are in the process of defining a commercial ready engine that we can migrate them to. The main criteria in this new engine was it must be mobile ready and it must offer a template for quick marketing response.

Since last year we have been incorporating a lot of the bells and whistles such as social login, store credit and coupon code, and ERP integration and etc. into the 2.3.3 engine, and in order to bring this engine to 2.3.4, several updates had been applied. The overall update was successful but not without minor hiccups as listed below:

  1. Ultimate SEO URL 5 from FWR produced errors from the database function update. For now caching can only be via file and not MySQL. Reference error in http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/394421-admin-login-loop-after-upgrade-2331-to-2332/page-2.
  2. Replace bxGallery and FancyBox with PhotosetGrid and ColorBox not implemented as our current engine uses jqzoom.
  3. New Content Modules implementation for the Account, Checkout Success, & etc. TBD for the reason it conflicts with our social login and simply 2 page checkout mods.
