A fresh coat of paint on the surface. A new shade of lipstick. But it's the same engine under the hood.

There have been too many updates to list them all. I recommend replacing your old directory with the new one (copy includes/mysql-info.php from your old directory into new includes/ folder first).

Now accepts multiple filetypes for product_images/ (.png, .gif, or .jpg). Product images can now be animated .gif's.
Now accepts multiple filetypes for videos/ (.avi, or .mp4)

Complete Install:
REQUIRES PHP AND SQL!!
Create DB and User in SQL (MYSQL or MARIADB).
Grant all privileges to User in SQL.
Open etc/install.php.
Fill in DB credentials.
Choose whether to install sample data and install.

Immediately you will be met with a 'success' screen (cart is now installed).
***Admin interface at: '//MAIN/CART/ROOT/DIRECTORY/php/admin/' (Default User/PW: admin/admin can be changed in admin panel)***

Edit 'includes/store_settings.php' variables for correct limits, taxes, name, address, phone, email, etc.
Place 'logo.png' in the site_images/ folder (allow permissions on image file).
Place product images in product_images/ folder (name images 'PRODUCT-ID'.(png, jpg, or gif) - ie. '12.png'). If no image is found for product, cart will default to 'logo.png'.

'contact_shipping_videos.php' is commented to note where to edit shipping info.
'checkout.php' is commented noting order submission point to add payment gateway into order process flow.
CSS is within <style></style> tags of individual pages (some minor CSS in-line in the code).
SQL tables are listed in their entirety in etc/mysql_table_list for informative purposes.

mp4 or avi videos in videos/ folder will automatically populate on video page. (drag and drop). Filename will appear as title for video.

This is an EXTREMELY lightweight cart that provides you all the tools necessary for successful e-commerce.
It just works (concise and to the point). It doesn't get in the way and attempts to automate as much as possible.
