New Australia Post API Modules

28 March 2013 - 02:32 PM

Hi all, I just saw the new Australia Post API Modules uploaded and decided to try them out, they work fine for Australian customers, but as soon as I try and test with Overseas customers the module just does not show as a shipping option at checkout. I am just wondering if anyone has had the same problem or is there a tweak I may be missing in the code to get it to work. This is the add on in question: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8733. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

Should I worry that IP Trap and Osc-Sec find so many hack attmepts?

08 September 2012 - 04:24 AM

Hi all,

First of all I have OSC 2.3.1 with all security patches applied (about to updgrade to 2.3.2 then 2.3.3 in the coming weeks) and IP Trap and oscsec installed and working with htaccess on my obscurely renamed admin section.

I'm just wondering however, whether or not I should worry (ie be paranoid) that IP Trap and OSC SEC keep trapping sooooo many attempts by people trying to access parts of my store such as - /admin/configure, admin/catalog/configure etc, the list of various directories is quite long, but I hope you get the idea of what my user access logs show me as hack attempts to widly various non existant parts of my store - but are via specific directory/files locations of a default install or variation therof.

So my questions are, should I worry? Should I be paranoid? Should I keep adding these IP's to my blocked list? Buy mainly, I suppose, why are these people so blantantly trying to access bits of my store that they should know are OFF LIMITS!!

Cheers, from someone slightly paranoid, for today anyway....

OSC 2.3.1 - REPORTS - Customer Orders -Total - the total is not showing after migration...

28 June 2012 - 11:33 AM

Hi everyone,

I have just completed my database migration from my 2.2rca store to my brand spanking new 2.3.1 store (all still on wamp, wil go live, fingers crossed on my stores anniversary 20th July)

anyways....

The migration went without a hitch... hmm should I say that just yet.... all the data from each sql entry (I migrated each database component individually from sql dumps and compared them to 2.3.1 and modified whatever needed modifying then dumped them perfectly into the clean 2.3.1 databse via phpadmin) and all items turned up in the test shop perfectly, just as the 2.2rca live shop shows with everything working nicely...

Except for the section under REPORTS - Best Customer Orders - Total.

Whenever I go to check that item in the reports tab section it shows the customers in the same order as per the live store, with best customer at number 1, but the $$ totals are showing all as zero all the way down the right column.

As I have said I went through each individual database component and migrated it across and everything else is there (as far as I know for the moment) but this one item seems to be missing.

If anyone can shed some light on where to look in either the database for this query, or maybe its lurking in one of the php files somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

OSC 2.3.1 - How do I let the customer choose a site theme?

12 June 2012 - 11:40 AM

Hi everyone,

Ive searched for this quite a bit, but I am now wondering if anyone knows how I would go about letting my customers choose the site UI theme from a drop down menu making use of Kymations Themeroller Jquery tool.

I have downloaded all the themes from the jquery site and I figure it would be nice to let the customers have a bit of a play with a theme they would prefer.

I would swear I have seen this feature before on one of the add ons but I just cannot find it.

Any hints, ideas or help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

OSC 2.3.1 - Adding the current date and site visits back to the footer of the site

07 June 2012 - 10:01 AM

Hi all,

After much fiddling and some help from @toyicebear and @burt from my previous post "OSC 2.3.1 - How do I get the bottom footer?  " I believe I have figured out the coding to implement the 2.3.1 missing footer section showing the date and visitor hits since the site was commenced - this feature was present in OSC 2.2rca but I was not able to find it while trying to setup 2.3.1, even though the tag for the counter exists in the catalog/includes/footer.php file.

Anyways, here is my feeble attempt at the code, which appears to work for me on firefox, chrome and ie9 but appears as plain text.

I have placed the following code as follows catalog/includes/footer.php:

  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'counter.php');
?>
<div class="container_24 ">
<div class="grid_12 alpha" align="left">
  <b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>
  </div>
<div class="grid_12 omega" align="right">
<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>
</div>


Now all I can say is that this works for me and its now just a matter of trying to figure out how to get the formatting back to surround it and make it look nice, and of course this will take me more time LOL.

If anyone has comments or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
