    [Contribution] Discount Coupon Codes

    in General Add-Ons Support

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Bit of a long shot but...I had discount coupons 2.1 working fine on one site (updated with RC2.1 and most of RC2). I've copied the site and installed Paypal IPN v1.4. All seems to work fine on the order front and applying the discount to the order totals. However, if the min order for the coupon is say £10 and the order is below that instead of the usual error message across the top it goes back to the cart. It then will only proceed once you've added enough products to ge tot the min order. trouble is there are no messages or anything so the user has no idea whats going on. I disabled paypal ipn and it still doesn't work using cheque as the payment option.

     

    Anyone got any ideas? Thanks :)

    Hi,

     

    I had V6.1 working fine until the host updated to MySql 5 - does anyone know if there is a fix? I've tried looking through the forums but couldn't find anything.

     

    When I get to checkout_process.php I just get a 500 internal error. If I turn the emails off it works fine and displays the order confirmation page.

     

    Many Thanks :)

    I think i've got 4.5.8 loaded - does anyone know if this is compatible with Mysql5?

     

    The host is upgrading to Mysql5 in the near future so I'm trying to find out which contributions are/may be effected. nothing more.

     

    Thanks for the reply - that's one more i can tick off!

    This is fairly simple. All you need to do is create a STS tag for the new infobox.

     

    Here is what I like to use for a Newsletter Infobox:

    As I stated above, the only thing needed to make this work in STS is to create a new variable for the newly created newsletter infobox:

     

    Hi Bill, do you happen to know which version of this you are using? I've wasted so much time trying to install versions of contributions that just end up buggy or not working at all it would be a real advantage to know you have a version working ;). Thanks if you can remember! Just one qestion - what info do they have to give to sign up to the newsletter, just email?

     

    BTW - this didn't fix getting the other newsletter contrib working but I'm willing to accept it was a waste of time and go with the one you mention!

       $sts->start_capture();
  require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'newsletter.php');
  $sts->stop_capture('newsletter', 'box');

     

    Many thanks and thanks again for the answer regarding the $customername.

  $sts->start_capture();

 if ( tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') ) {
echo tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name);
 }
 $sts->stop_capture ('customername');

     

    Now add the new STS tag $customername wherever you want it in your template.

     

    Thanks Bill this worked! Does anyone know how I should go about changing the class of the text (I tried adding it to the STS tag but no joy)? And also is it possible to put a 'Hello' in front of the name? it needs to be incorporated into the $customername tag so that it doesn't display when people are not logged in?

     

    Thanks Again :)

    Add the following code directly in your template where you want the name to appear:

     

    <?php
 if ( tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') ) {
echo tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name);
 }
?>

     

    Sorry to be a nuisance but this doesn't work when I try it, I wonder if someone else can try to see if it works or not?

     

    Thanks

    Hi bill,

     

    I just checked and I do have

    $sts->start_capture();

    require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'visitoremail.php');

    $sts->stop_capture('newsletter', 'box');

     

    already in my sts_user_code. The box shows fine but after clicking the submit button all the box placeholder names display instead of the actual boxes, it just seems to effect the boxes - all other links etc using other palceholder names are still working.

     

    Maybe I should try the contribution you said you used - does it allow users to join the newsletter by just entering their email address?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Bill,

     

    Thanks very much for the information in reply to my two posts :)

     

    I'm sure I have created a new variable but I will double check it is correct. Does the contribution you mention allow a visitor to sig up just by entering an email address or do they have to put in more information?

     

    Many thanks

    Hi all,

     

    Has anyone got this (or another similar) contribution to work with STS?

     

    http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5196 (the contrib is meant to give you a box where people can input their email address to sign up for a newsletter)

     

    It works with STS turned off as far as I can make out correctly. I've added it as an extra box and thus a placeholder for my template. With STS on it shows up fine until pressing the submit/action button, then I just get my STS template showing with the placeholder names instead of all the boxes - strange! If you go back to home or another page the template works fine again.

     

    Any ideas on this one? If not is there a contrib you use that does the same job?

     

     

    Many Thanks once again...

    I want to put just the name of someone when they have logged in into the header, so instead of all the greeting text just the name. I found a post regarding $greeting# which i can't find anywhere. is it possible to create a placeholder for $greeting?

    Sorry for the double post, I forgot to ask another question!

     

    I want to put just the name of someone when they have logged in into the header, so instead of all the greeting text just the name. I found a post regarding $greeting# which i can't find anywhere. is it possible to create a placeholder for

     

    define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');

     

    i thought I could then edit this line in english.php to just the name as i'm not using it anywhere else.

     

    define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', <span class="greetUser">%s!</span>');

     

    What do you think?

     

    Thanks again :)

    Hi,

     

    I'm using this contribution http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3329 (the very first one) and added search2.php to boxes and added another placeholder in sts_column_left. Anyway this seems to show and work fine I just want to increase the size of the box (higher - i can make it longer easy enough as defined in search2.php). I thought just changing the font size etc would work but no joy. Also I tried to get V2.3 working (allows text to be pre-populated into box and clear on box selection, proper buttons etc) but couldn't - do you think this is a javescript issue?

     

    Many thanks

     

    Hi Bill,

     

    I used the code from the contribution you linked to (on another reply) to get a search box anywhere. This was my original message above. I am populating the box with 'search here...' but I would still really like to get it to empty on the click. i've tried putting the code from V2_3 of the link above (different contribution to the one you pointed to as it includes the javascript) straight into a template but no joy, do you know how I could get this javascript working correctly? at the moment when you click in it there is an 'object expected' error. of course the code from V2_3 might not work in the first place but i'm presuming it does!

     

    At the moment I'm using the search anywhere code directly in the template:

    <?php echo tep_draw_form('search', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat','1') . tep_draw_input_field('keywords', 'Search here...', 'size="10" maxlength="40" style="height: 22px; font: 12px; width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH+40) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() .tep_image_submit('header_search.gif', 'Search the Site!', 'align="absmiddle"') . '</form>'; ?>

    I want to get the javascript code from the contribution linked above to work on this box, do you know if it will work with STS?

     

    Many thanks

    Official PayPal IPN Support Thread

    Paypal IPN developed by other author and standard(use IPN concept) developed by hpdl.

     

     

    Would recommend You to go for standard (hpdl) as it has most of the fixes.

     

     

    Satish

     

    Ok thanks, it does beg the question why it has been re-developed though? I presume the hpdl one will be bunddled with the latest releases of oscommerce

    Hi,

     

    I've had STS4.2 and HTC installed for well over a year. It was made aware to me just recently that all the pages on my site had zero google pagerank. On some pages the pagerank indicator bar is grayed out suggesting the page isn't even being indexed. There are over 200 pages indexed on google but there is probably 1500 products on there, so it is at least getting on there but even when it does the pagerank is zero. I was told it could be due to way STS effects google indexing of the site, it does seem strange some pages are indexed and some not. Does anyone have any similar issues or information?

     

    Do people have a non zero pagerank using STS?

     

    Thank you

    Paypal Module Confusion!

    in PayPal

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I wanted to see if there was a paypal system that could be used to take credit card payments without the customer having an account (I think this put me off paypal when i was last looking ages ago). However I'm struggling to work out which version is best. I can't really gather, from the paypal website, what the difference is between the Paypal Standard and Paypal Pro systems they provide. I've found Jacks answer on another thread but am still slightly confused!

     

    If I want to take cc card transactions which is the best system to use? If the Pro versions extra functionality is to keep customers on the site I suppose I just need to way up the cost/benefit (but does it offer any other functions?). Is their a contributino fo the pro system and is this harder to install that the paypal standard?

    Also if PAYAPL IPN is the same as PAYPAL STANDARD (their naming convention from paypal website) why has Harold released a different contribution. Is that contribution the same as the contribution labelled Paypal IPN in the contribs section? If I wanted to go for paypal standard should i use Harolds release or the Paypal IPN contribution? Are there any known issues with other contributions?

     

    Many thanks for any enlightenment!

    Becki

     

     

     

    Paypal has three types of accounts. The only two most sites will use are the Standard and the Pro. The standard is the free one (except for the per item fee). Customers leave your site and go to paypal to make the payment with this one. The Pro requires a $20/month payment plus the fee. Customers can stay on your site and pay with this one. To make this more confusing, Paypal has an improved version of the Standard method that is included with the Pro account. Typically, the free Paypal Standard account is referred to as Paypal IPN. In the Paypal pro contributions, it is referred to as Paypal Standard. That's how the naming convention was for a while until Harold released the Paypal Standard contribution that works with the free version (paypal IPN). I hope this clears it up since I'm starting to confuse myself.

     

    There is an option in the settings in your paypal account that allows your customers to complete the order without having a paypal account. That is turned off by default.
