Logging Options

Top  Previous  Next  

X-Cart allows you to keep logs of different kinds of events which occur in your store (like operations on products and orders, or errors in receiving real-time shipping rates). It can also send email messages to notify you about events which occur in the store while you're away.

The 'General settings/Logging options' page provides a list of event types which can be identified by X-Cart and allows you to define how each of these event types must be handled.

At present, the event types which can be identified by X-Cart include the following:

Backup/restore database -  database backups and restorations;
File operations via the store interface (upload, copy, delete) - file operations performed using X-Cart interface;
Order deletion - removal of orders;
Order status modification - order status updates;
Orders export - instances of orders export;
Product deletion - removal of products;
Errors in receiving realtime shipping rates - errors of realtime shipping modules;
Online payment processing errors - errors of the payment gateway that occur during online payment transactions;
Online payment checkout processing notices - notices of the successful online payment transactions if some checkout errors have occurred and the order has not been placed correctly;
Debug messages - debug messages.

The drop-down box opposite each of the event types provides four options: do nothing, log only, email only, log and email. To define logging options for your store, adjust the values of all the drop-down boxes so they define which of the actions must be performed by the system with regard to each specific event type.
