I need to know the details on how to accomplish this. I want to replace (as this other inquiry states) the KonaKart logo with my own logo.

Hi KonaKartians,
I am creating an application for a customer including shopping cart and Konakart seems a good choice for the shopping cart. But I see Konakart (image/logo/name/message) in almost all the pages. I was just wondering, can I modify Konakart application to display my customers business name instead and still maintain "Powered by Konakart" in the footer through out the application.

What are the exact mechanics for altering the text and graphics of the KonaKart storefront?

The admin may contain these mechanisms but I have not been able to find it.

I have had success in loading my products, prices and graphics but cannot figure out how to customize the existing storefront.

Please guide myself to the instructions or spell out the procedure.

Thanks,

jbarb

It seems like you could be pointing at the wrong database in one of your properties files because if you reinstall you should start with the default starting database - not one with your products.

Examples of the SQL you need to run are in the database script files - eg. konakart_demo.sql

Trevor,

Thanks for your help.

I reinstalled 3.2.0.0 and ran the utility at the end that establishes (overwrites in my case) all of my tables. This cured the problem but understandably I lost all my prior work. Whatever caused the problem of locking me out was in the data base and not KonaKart.

This may be helpful though as there were a number of things I wanted to change anyway. I now have all of the KonaKart 3.2.0.0 User's guide and will study it in detail.

I am still a little hazy on how to customize the KonaKart storefront with my company logo and trademarks/graphics etc. while keeping the basic KonaKart storefront configuration but I am sure the User's guide will give me that insight.

For now its back to the drawing board and loading all my products (under thirty of them) and reconfiguring the rest.

Thanks,

jbarb

No, that's just to inform you that multi-store functionality isn't installed.

You could register a user in the application and then copy the hashed password of the new user into the password field of the admin user. The attribute is called customers_password and the table is customers. 

Trevor,

I even uninstalled reinstalled KonaKart 3.2.0.0 and it still will not accept either the default password (princess) or my existing one. Many of the changes to the products and configuration in admin are still there so whatever is blocking me out is also there.

I found the customers table and the customers_password but do not know how to register a new user and copy the hashed password into the password field of the admin user. It appears there are some specific querys or commands to accomplish this but I have gotten that far in the Mysql tutorial as of yet. If you can offer some guidance in that regard I would be grateful.

What if I disable security altogether through the konakartadmin. properties file, get into the admin program and establish a new password and or user id once inside? Then reenable security.

I even uninstalled 3.2.0 and installed my old version of Konakart and it still will not let me in. Something is resident in the config files and it will not be removed when you do an uninstall.

Thanks,

jbarb

The default setup is to block for 10 minutes after 3 unsuccessful attempts. These parameters can be modified in the properties file.

All I can think of is that either your password is wrong (check CAPS lock) or the data in the database has been changed since the password is stored in the database in a hashed format.

Trevor,

Also in the Tom Cat window there is some additional text after "Server startup time etc"

i.e. Today's date and then "Warn <AdminMgrFactory. java:InstantiateAdminMulti-StoreMgr:1026> Admin Multi-Store Functionality has not Been Installed.

Do I need to install this function to solve the problem  ???and how do I do it if required?

Thanks,

Trevor,

Is there a way to change my password through my data base, Mysql?
I'm sure I have the correct password. I have been using Konakart admin regularly adding and modifying graphics for my products and was just preparing to add my logo to the KonaKart storefront.

Is there a possibility that I could have altered my password while on admin without using the "change password" utility? The last thing I was working on was configuring the categories and attempting to add some new graphics for them.

Will I need to uninstall /reinstall 3.2.0.0 to get my password correct?


Thanks,

Jbarb

Exception Message = User (admin@konakart.com) has been blocked. Please try again in about 10 minutes

This is the response from admin@konakart.com I get when I try to log on.

This has never happened before. Is the KonaKart server down or is something wrong at my end?

jbarb

I probably should have used the entire quote as it refers to changing the KonaKart logo on the store front to my own company logo and graphics leaving the basic KonaKart storefront as is.

What would be the easiest way to do this?

jbarb

Yes, you can remove all references to KonaKart but you must leave on the "Powered By KonaKart" link.

What is the easiest way to accomplish this customization.
I am going to use almost the entire Kona Kart configuration, shopping cart, storefront etc. and want to use my logo and graphics.

Thanks,
jbarb

Can I chaneg the Logo KonaKart to My Company Logo.

Yes, we would expect people to change the logo to their own.

But i can keep the footer as is

Yes, you have to leave the "Powered by KonaKart" link (see licence link below)

What is the easiest way to change the existing KonaKart (3.2.0.0) storefront logo to my company logo and other storefront text/graphics.
I have loaded most of my products in the database and want to get it online as soon as possible. My existing web host uses java script on all his servers.

The KonaKart storefront configuration works well with my products and I would simply like to change to my co logo and some of the graphics, while maintaining the "powered by KonaKart" at the base of the storefront.

Thanks,

jbarb

Try as I may, KonaKart Admin will not allow me to save my product edits.

I deleted the old products but now it refuses to allow to save my new products.
Is there something causing this? I have tried every combination possible in adding new products to no avail. I have to believe something is wrong with the site itself. I even uninstalled and reinstalled KonaKart in the hope that there was an error in the install but it made no difference.
Is the admin site the only way to alter content? I would really like to change the configuration of the site itself regarding a one page shopping cart.
However the process of using the APIs or soaps is so complicated (it appears y ou must be a programmer in order to do this) that I have more or less given up on that course and no one seems willing to give some guidance on setting up the soap or api procedures.

I am having a little difficulty editing the KonaKart Admin products section.
What is the secret for saving your edits, deletions, additions of new products in the catalog section.
The "Save" button at the bottom of all the edit pages seems to highlight only when it feels like it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason in the process of activating this "save" button.
I have lost numerous edits and additions to the product catalog because I was unable to save the changes. There seems to be no set pattern for enabling the "Save" button.
It is extremely aggravating to type your product descriptions into the edit text block only to find out the save button refuses to activate making your efforts futile, losing your product descriptions, prices and images. How can I remedy this? Thanks.

Hi Kate,

Check this out.

I have everything installed and working correctly. The Kona Kart upgrade was easier than I thought. I just deleted the old database configuration and the new KonaKart version built a new one.

Having said that, I have arrived at a new juncture. According to the response to ANT below, my "BUILD WAS SUCCESSFUL" but now I find I have run out of instructions to proceed with the soap calls.

What is the next step in making these soap calls to Open Laszlo for the one page catalog shopper?

Could you please check this script response and see if there is anything out of order?

[Welcome to the KonaKart Admin Application Login Username: Password: Login Cancel There has been a problem.... com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'konakart.kk_customer_group' doesn't exist]

  Kate,
Thanks for your help. I am reading all I can find on apache ant and java. It is still a little confusing but I am learning.

Beside problems with ant, I think I just created another one.
I noticed that my version of KonaKart  2.2.1.0. is not the latest version on the KonaKart site, 2.2.4.0. So I decided to upgrade since my jre/jdk and mysql were up to date versions. I also hoped that it would solve some of my build problems. Well here is the message I get when it opens up KonaKart Admin subsequent to the install.

There has been a problem....
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'konakart.kk_customer_group' doesn't exist

I first uninstalled the old version and reinstalled 2.2.4.0 without updating the old database, got the same error message. Uninstalled new version, reinstalled old version and the old version worked fine.

I then tried to reinstall 2.2.4.0 and check the box that allows the db to upgrade (upgrade was successful)and all indications were that it was a good install, except I got the same error message. Can I go into MYSQL and add this missing table? I should not be much of a problem to add this table (if that is the correct syntax) is that also a field? but I am concerned about creating more unintended consequences.

Thanks,

Jim B

Thanks Kate,

Yes I have admin privileges I probably just need to invoke them. I am relieved to know that apache ant 1.7.0 should not interfere with the original KonaKart ant but I had better read more regarding install of apache ant.

My biggest headache is establishing ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME. I just haven't been able to establish the proper path for either.
This is the path for the Apache Ant:                                                                                               
"C:\Program files\KonaKart\custom\bin\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin"
therin may lie the problem.
The KonaKart ant is the other bin just before the "apache ant 1.7.0"

My java is: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin"

I see the KonaKart site says to set the path at C:\jdk1.6.0_05,  How is that possible when jdk1.6.0_05 is not installed on the root "C:\"? The same in the Kona Kart installation examples where it asks for you to show where your JRE is installed and the example shows C:\jdk1.5(vers)?
During KonaKart Installation I specified my JRE location as the installed location: e.g. "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05

In the jdk1.6.0_05 folder is a zip file that is 18.5 mb. I was hesitant about unzipping it and have not up to now. Could this be where "tools.jar" is residing? According to Sun Microsystem's download site, "tools.jar is in the "lib" folder but the "lib" folder is empty presently. Is it wise to unzip the folder when you do not know the destination of the files?

The question then remains, how do establish ANT_ HOME (either version) and
JAVA_HOME, either globally or the command screen temporary way? That seems to be the major problem. But until I have these other questions resolved I won't know if that is the underlying problem(s) interfering with making this thing work.

Thanks,

Jim Barber

Kate,

Thanks for your help.

I really should not have installed apache ant 1.7.0 as I now realize I installed it incorrectly. It is in conflict with the ant package included with KonaKart.
The instructions said ( I thought) to install it in the bin folder in the path with the jdk. This is obviously wrong. I must uninstall ant but I cannot find an uninstall tool anywhere in the package. It is a zip file and you just extract to a folder. There is no install after the extract.

At any rate I need to uninstall or remove two separate extraction/installs of apache ant 1.7.0. One in the KonaKart folder and another in my Document and Settings folder. I extracted the apache ant files to the documents and settings when I thought there was an installation procedure after the files extract. I can't delete the files as they are write protected and access is denied. How can I change the permissions on these
files and folders in order to delete them? I tried changing them from read only to archive but that didn't work.

Thanks, Jim Barber
