There's a list here. I use Meld and have used WinMerge. Both work well enough for me to recommend.

I started comparing using notepad ++, do I just replace everything that is different? I mean if something is completely different between osCommerce and MVS do I overwrite the different part in the osCommerce file? And if something has been deleted in MVS, should I also delete that part or just leave it in the osCommerce file. Sorry still very new to this.

[kymation]

Replace everything that is marked MVS. Delete only if there is an MVS section marked there. I don't recall any deletes that are not replaced with MVS code, but there might be. Leave everything else alone.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I opted to just install osCommerce 2.2 (hopefully this version is still usable) and then MVS instead of merging the files. I know I would have created more problems for myself if I tried to merge the files. I got further this method than I did the first time. I now have both installed and I am able to login to the admin panel. When I click on vendors I get this:


1054 - Unknown column 'vendors_id' in 'where clause'

select count(*) as total from products where vendors_id = '1'

[TEP STOP]

I did use the same database that I had created for the newer version of osCommece. I don't know if that is an issue or not.

[kymation]

I hope you used 2.2RC2a. Any older version is unusable. Don't forget to apply all of the changes in the Security forum for 2.2. This will be nearly as much work as installing MVS on 2.3.1. Possibly more.

The databases in 2.2x and 2.3.1 are incompatible. You need to install the 2.2 database, then run the changes for MVS.

Ok, So I went ahead and attempted to modify the files in order to install MVS on osCommerce 2.3.1, since installing the security updates would probably be more difficult for me. I started with a fresh install, uploaded the new MVS files and used notepad++ to compare the modify files and replace everything starting with //MVS. Now I am getting the following error when going to the admin panel:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_redirect() in /home/XXXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXXXXX.com/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 161

Not sure what I did wrong or where to look to fix this.

[kymation]

tep_redirect() is a stock osCommerce function in both the 2.2 and 2.3 series. It's defined in includes/functions/general.php. You may have deleted this line in includes/application_top.php:

  require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'general.php');

I checked /includes/application_top.php and /admin/includes/application_top.php and that line is present in both files. Line 161 in admin/includes/application_top.php referred to in the error reads as follow:

      tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, (isset($redirect_origin['auth_user']) ? 'action=process' : '')));

[kymation]

Then you somehow deleted the definition of tep_redirect() in includes/functions/general.php. MVS doesn't make any changes to that file, so I have no idea how you managed to do that. Perhaps you uploaded the admin file to the catalog side.

What file places the "install" and "edit" buttons on admin/vendor_modules.php? I had everything working and setup but I went to add a new shipping method only to find that the buttons are now gone. I have no idea what I did or how I did it. I compared the vendor_modules file to the one in the contribution and they are identical. All of the shipping methods show but I cannot edit them or install new ones. Also I will add that mvs functions just fine on the store side

[kymation]

You have some sort of error, probably in the shipping module that you just added. Try deleting the module file and see if the Vendor Manager starts working again. If it doesn't, your database is corrupted and will need to be cleaned by hand.

Jim

[crashexpert]

I couldnt install a new one because the install button is gone... I wrote over all of the moduals anyway and it didnt help so now you say it has to be in the DB. I dont know what needs to be "cleaned" so would I be better off dropping vendors, vendors_info, and vendors_configuration tables and starting over. If I do that I will loose what products belong to each vendor wont I?

[kymation]

No, you need to delete the module file. Remove it completely from your server. Nothing that you do in the Admin is going to help.

If that doesn't work, you can then truncate (empty) the vendors_configuration table. This will remove all of your shipping module configuration, so you'll have to reinstall any modules that you need.

Jim

[crashexpert]

Yes thanks a bunch emptied the DB and all is well Thanks again for ALL of your help!!

Can anyone who has added this to a customised osc v2.3.1 tell me how long it took? I am pretty proficient with adding modules and adapting code, but this MVS module would replace some home brew code that currently works, but is not quite so functional..

Is there a 2.3.1 version install in the works Jim?

Thanks!

[kymation]

I can't tell you exactly how long it takes, but it wasn't very long. The conversion mostly involves changing the buttons and adding the references to template_top.php and template_bottom.php. Oh, and converting one box. It's not that hard.

Yes, I do intend to make a 2.3.1 release whenever I have the time. I've done the install on 2.3.1, but that is a very heavily modified store, so it's not that simple to extract the files. I'll probably have to do it over on a stock copy of 2.3.1 to get it right.

Hi, Folks.

I install Oscommerce 2.3.1 and did make some change but only in the layout. Now I'm trying to put and install MSV in that store.
I did updated every file to the server and also the changes in the DB. For me everything was ok. But when I wanted login in the admin I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_get_version() in /xxx/xxxx/xx/xx/xxxxxxxx/htdocs/xxxxxxx/catalog/admin/includes/header.php on line 20

This file does not change from the MSV so I don´t now realy what to do with that error.


I'll be grateful for any help

[kymation]

tep_get_version() is a stock osCommerce 2.3 function. It's in catalog/includes/functions/general.php, lines 13-23. If you just replaced the stock file with the one from MVS, that's a bug. Oops. Try adding this near the top of the file:

////
// Get the installed version number
  function tep_get_version() {
    static $v;

    if (!isset($v)) {
      $v = trim(implode('', file(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/version.php')));
    }

    return $v;
  }

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix the distribution and upload a new one.

Regards
Jim
