Hi,

I've noticed recently that the FB Like button that I had put on my product pages in product_info.php has disappeared. The Google +1 button still appears.

This appears to have happened to at least one other person.

<tr><td><g:plusone size="medium" count="false"></g:plusone>&nbsp;

Does anyone know if Facebook has changed the code they use?

Hi,

I have a pretty basic question about phpMyAdmin and the products_model field.

How exactly do I modify this to make it longer? Standard osC sets it at 11 or 12 characters or so. I see it when you click on products in phpMyAdmin, but I'm not sure what to do next.

Also, how long could I make this field theoretically? 30, 40 characters? I suppose the real limit might depend on how your product pages are laid out.

And if I change this, are there any hidden side effects that anyone knows of? Might this cause some random add-on to start acting strangely?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've been using PayPal Pro with my site for a while now and it seems to be working OK. When someone buys something online, the API lets me know if there's an address/zip code/CVV match with the credit card.

This is usually fine, though with some high dollar items, I like to double check things just to be safe. If someone makes a purchase over the phone, I get the entire 16 digit credit card and it's not a problem since I can call MC/Visa/AmEx/Discover.

However with strictly online purchases, I only see what card they used and the last 4 digits. As a result, when I call the card company (if the customer gives me the toll-free # on the back of their card), they usually won't help me since I don't have a merchant account and I only have 4 of the 16 digits. Some banks have a bit more common sense and realize that it's in their interest to prevent fraud as well, but they don't have smart procedures in place.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to better verify the authenticity of customers? I usually do google searches on customers for large items where I can't do a standard merchant address verification and that sometimes works.

But does anyone use a paid service like intellius.com or whitepages.com or spokeo.com or a reverse phone directory or some other system to verify that X customer actually lives at Y address?

Luckily I haven't been burned yet, but potential fraud is really the only significant concern about e-commerce that I ever have.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

i wonder how many visitors to this forum were affected? i think that upgrading to 2.3 (a lot of work for existing stores) is unnecessary, but it's all the more reason to do all the recommended security upgrades for 2.2.

Hi everyone,

In RC2.2a, is there a way to hide the manufacturer's box only when a certain manufacturer's product listing page is shown?


currently in includes/column_left.php:

  if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
    echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();
  } else {
    include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');
  }

I need to exclude the box for a particular manufacturer (#30) to satisfy a particular supplier's requirement. Is there any conditional statement that allows for this?

Thanks
