Hi, Installed the contrib and mike's hide fix all really good stuff. The problem is the error messages don't display. Let say I have a £1800 remaining limit & I order £3200 worth of goods all I get is Credit Account Error! Then an empty box. If I look at the url it contains ?payment_error=po&error=Your+current+order+value+exceeds+your+credit+limit.+Available+cred it+%241800.00 I'm sure this should be in the empty box & not the url... so where have I gone wrong? Many thanks

I've found the way special prices are included / excluded in the froogle feed to be dependant on expiry date. e.g. when you create a special with no exp date the form enters 0000-00-00 into the specials table. For a standard osc store this is fine. hoevever if you use, store manager or some other way of importing / adding / changing specials the exp date field may be given a null value. the froogle feeder then doesn't recognise the items special price & lists it at full price. So far I've come up with several theoretical solutions, but which one is correct. add some my sql to the feeder along the lines of - UPDATE `specials` SET `expires_date`="0000-00-00 00:00:00" WHERE `expires_date` IS NULL change the sql in the feeder (not sure how as I guess it looks at the exp date so it doesn't show specials that have expired)

the first one is a standard osc "feature" fixed in rc1 the fix for ms2.2 is here... http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...egory+image+fix

I'm looking for a solution / contribution that reminds me to keep customers informed if I've not yet despatched their order. So far I've found Contact Alert mod - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3350 This sort of does it, but you would still need to trawl though orders to find the one that needs attention. What I was thinking of was if an order has not changed status for say 3 days then it sends me an email reminder to keep the customer updated with any changes. does anything like this exist? does anyone else think this is a good idea / way of going about it? many thanks

Perhaps try making a coupon with the minimum number of fields filled in eg no start & end date, no max use just leave them blank ,

Found it - edit_orders_add_product.php around lines 84 & 141 added my additional field.

additional product fields in order editor - I have an additional field in my products table (conformance) & have recently installed order editor. I would like items added to orders via order editor to write conformance into orders_products table as conformance is used on a modified packing slip. I don't need to edit conformance. I started looking at edit_orders.php & about line 234 seems to be the right place. Am I going down the right track? do I need to edit any other files? many thanks for a great contrib

Threshold can be set in catalog\shopping_cart.php about line 51 if ( $deficit < 5 && $deficit > 0 ) where 5 is the threshold (20 as standard)

Hide carrots from whats new by editing catalog\includes\modules\new_products.php and adding the products_carrot = '0' right after the where of line 21 (start $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id,..... ) this hides it from the what new box that appears in the main section of the index page

hi just installed this on a test site that already has a load of other mods. Couple of things Found an error in the instructions in step 18 its missing a ; after the last ) I cant get step 21 to work (hiding the carrot from whats new) I can understand the logic where p.products_carrot='0' but it still shows... think I have made a silly error but been through it a couple of times now. any pointers would be much appreciated

in the lanuage files and includes languages/english/product_info.php

Found it - the admin/categories.php I hadn't made the changes

it formats the url - so instead of www.myshop.com/someuselessurl it becomes www.myshop.com/someusefullurl it automaticly creates the urls based on the titles of categories & products and you can manually enter specific ones if you desire. as for ongoing - sod all.

Hi, did you ever fix this - I now have the same problem & I'm looking for the soultion. Thanks

I supose from that angle it make v good sense. I'm now stuck on a few attribute issues. I understand how the headings work and have managed to upload attributes sucessfully. However, lets say products have size as an attribute with small, medium and large as options - and I want to add X Large to some of them. This sounds pretty simple... so I create the CSV (like below) file & upload - all seems successfull - but its not, the size attribute vanishes on those products when viewed. v_products_model......prod906 v_status......Active v_attribute_options_id_1......1 v_attribute_options_name_1_1......Size v_attribute_values_id_1_4......4 v_attribute_values_name_1_4_1......X Large v_attribute_values_price_1_4......20 EOREOR......EOREOR Am I asking EP to do the impossible? or have I made a mistake? Many thanks
