hm, that *could* do the job, but then the problem would be that my customers could see the categories tabs with all the different categories which are empty (for them) which would look like that the shop is somekind of "under construction", and this for weeks, ads those cat-tabs are ever empty. what I have in mind would be some adaption of a mod which enables you to enable and disable certain categories so that you can set the enabled- and disabled state per category AND per customer-group. (I didn't install and adapt this mod yet, but it should be possible) this could also be an improvement for fiscus as he would just have to make different categories, and then all the articles could stay in the way they are. then it would also be possible to simply apply the prices for all products, and then i could make some special customers group, which is for "normal" customers, but has everything avaible. (like one for computer-resellers, one for computer-experts but private usage and one for novice users) If that's not what you're working on, then I'll adapt the category-enable-disable-mod and release it as some kind of compatible contribution, but I'd need your planned db-structure for that, e.g. how you identify whether a certain product belongs to a group, is there a variable which tells me this, or is this based on ( if (a price exists for that product) or (not) ) ? cu, karlheinz Meier aka forgotten soul from bavaria, germany

Hello, I'd appreciate some kind of update. :) (or maybe that the next milestone just has your code into, with some kind of group management, which does automatical percentual pricing for some groups, just with a click on the whole DB) Well, I also have a question, regarding your Contribution : I have a shop with both "normal" clients, and "special" clients, the special clients of course have special prices, that works; BUT : Is there some way (or do I have to progam it) to give those customer-groups a different categories-tab and start-page ? the problem is that my client wants me to build a webshop which enables a certified reseller to buy ALL articles from a certain category (around 3000) but forcing a "normal client" through 3000 articles just to find something interesting, that would be very ineffective. (and well, I don't suppose normal clients need the big packs like 10 litres of a product where you normally have it in 60 ml - packages) and well, on the start-page it would be nice to offer some things to the resellers which normal people don't need. if there is no such thing, I'd be willing to program it, in case anyone is interested. (perhaps an admin module which shows the different customer groups together with start page would also be possible, and then, it should just be some lines to add some percentage-function ... ) cu, karlheinz Meier

hello all. unfortunately the html generated by the module is not fine enough for some browsers, and I'd like to use netscape 4.77 for administrative functions for some reasons. I've looked around in the html, and made the following changes, all in the lines which now come in the new_category_insert - file. now it works with netscape 4.77. new_category_insert : line 33 : addes a "<td>" after the "<tr>" for better html now reads : <tr><td><?php echo tep_draw_form('new_category', FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&cID=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['cID'] . '&action=new_category_preview', 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"'); ?></td> lines 79,80 : <tr> <tr> one of them deleted. around line 100 : </form></tr> I added a </table> here three lines before end of file (around 215) </form></tr> I also added a </table> here cu all, karlheinz meier[/code]

hello, folx I don't know whether this has been mentioned before, so please apologize if this is a double-post : I have received a message from ebay germany, as I was interested in their apis. they told me the following : as there IS a non-disclosure-agreement on the ebay-apis, and as i told them i wanted to use the apis with a open source app, they can only suggest me to write a binary which will be closed source, and which shall then be used to provide an api for OSC. (so my closed source binary converts the calls from my open source application) another alternative I see : there is a german program called "baywotch" (not written by me) which uses the ebay search function to make a database out of the articles, perhaps someone could contact the programmer whether he is willing to help us a bit. (but don't ask me, i have a webshop too set up :) cu, karlheinz meier

Hello, you there. I am using prefixes for my database, and then Easy Populate dind't work as the tables were called DIRECTLY in most cases. With a good editor and a nice search function, I replaced all the direct calls to the apropriate table-calls and now it requires the database_tables.php in the admin-dir. (if this is not there, then you have other problems than EP, I guess) I am pretty sure that I got all the direct calls, exept if other sql-queries than "insert", "update" and "select" are used in this script. OK, I am having this file, and I'd be glad if someone could tell me now, a) wheter there are persons who are willing to test it ? (downloading the data in such a tab-txt-file works quite well for me, but i don't know all the options B) whether I was allowed to change this file ? c) whether I now have to open this code to the public and how to do this. (As you might guess I am completely new to Open Source; so please apologize my newbie questions) CU, karlheinz Meier a.k.a. forgotten_soul
