cDGo IT Consultancy,
        Let me see if I have this right. You installed a contrib in say 2005 there was an update in 2006 that you missed or did not install and would like to be notified that you are not using the latest version, right? This is exactly why I wrote this contrib. I am in the same boat. I have about a hundred contribs installed and I forget to update them then I do updates and it takes me a week or more. Unfortunately, the names and versions of contribs are all over the board and I am not sure I would be able to get Contrib tracker to reliably check the site. Is the contrib you are talking about on the oscommerce contrib site? This is a feature I will investigate and try to implement, no promises.

For now update all of your contribs, enter them into contrib tracker and from then on you will get notified of updates.

I just upgraded from v1.2 to v1.5.2.  When i clicked on the Contrib link in admin, I got the following error

[codeParse error: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/store/admin/contrib_tracker.php on line 1][/code]

Thinking I may have missed something, I reinstalled v1.2 and it worked fine again.  I decided to do a fresh install of v1.5.2 and after, got the same problem.  I then brought it back to v1.2 and it works.  I installed v1.3 and that is where the problem starts.  I'm not coder so I'm not sure where to look.  

Line 1 is of course the <?php so I assume it means the first line of code which is require('includes/application_top.php'); on mine.

Thanks for any help and a great contrib!

Lildog,

You're right, that's just what I meant.
I've got over 150 contribs running in my shops.
So eager to help you with testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  

[lildog]

Candleman,
        The only thing I can suggest is check the punctuation near line 1 make sure they all have semi colons, etc. Or post the first part of code and i will try to determine the problem.

I tried to install the 1.5.4 version and got the same error. I reinsalled the 1.2 version and it was back to normal. The code is the same code in the 1.5.4 version release on the contribution page. There must be an error in it, but I can't find it.

I've searched and come up with the same problem as well. Everything is perfect according to the installation instructions. seems it would be impossible to have such an error in line 1. My code reads as follows

Just a thought.

It's the format that it was uploaded on.  The author uses a MAC.  Tyr uploading it in Binary and that may solve your problem.  It worked for me.

The code you posted is from admin/contrib_tracker but your error message is for admin/includes/languages/english/contrib_tracker -- so if you tried to upload the admin/contrib_tracker in binary format and that did not work, try doing the same with ..english/contrib_tracker or checking that file for errors (blank line before the first < ?php or semicolon missing after first define statement, etc)

My problem is with the Edit function. When I edit the information for an installed contribution all fields are re-saved empty.

I just attempted to install Contrib Tracker 1.5.4 and get the following errors.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\catalog\admin\contrib_tracker.php on line 336

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\object_info.php on line 17

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\object_info.php on line 18

Can anyone help?

[golfman2006]

First off, thanks for this great contribution. This is one of the most used contributions we have in our shop.

Problem is that our hosting company went and changed a couple settings on our server which they intend to keep. These changes now affect this contribution. When we try to access the Contrib Tracker page on the admin side, we get this error "could not open XML input".

Here are the comments we received from our hosting company after they made the changes:

Quote

In addition to disabling register_globals, we are also disabling allow_url_fopen global, which cannot be re-enabled unless done globally. You will need to find another solution that does not require allow_url_fopen to work.

Is there a fix or workaround that someone can recommend to help resolve this issue? This only seems to affect this contribution as the rest of the site os working properly since changes were made by the host.

We have applied all updates to this contribution up through the fix posted 8/7/07, and still the error "could not open XML input" is issued when trying to pull up this page in admin.

[lildog]

Golfman,
              It appears there is an alternative, using the cURL library. I will work on it after I finish my current project. Give me a couple of days. If you know php moderately, which is all I know. google allow_url_fopen alternative and a number of references will come up. It is probably a good thing, it appears it is a minor security issue and my server will probably follow suit soon.

[lildog]

I have updated this contrib for those that have fopen turned off.

I followed the "Install Contribution Track" file and it's all ok. Could you help me?

[lildog]

Assuming the problem is in your admin page I would say go into admin/contrib_tracker.php and adjust these lines to match your store.

vWritePageToFile('http://feeds.feedburner.com/osCommerce_Contributions?format=xml' DIR_WS_CATALOG. 'rsscache/contrib_rss.html');

$channel = new rdfFile(DIR_WS_CATALOG. 'rsscache/contrib_rss.html'); //rss cached file path


for some reason, the curl function is not writting the file. Also be sure there is a folder rsscache with write permissions (777) in your catalog folder, check to see that DIR_WS_CATALOG points to your store root in configure.php.
