  1. As I recall on an install I did, the "Curl could not be excecuded" message is generated when a NULL return comes back from the Curl call. Curl may be setup just fine.

     

    In my case Curl just couldn't get past the firewall I had setup. The documentation indicated that a certain port (i'm guessing at 1029) needed to be open for it to communcate with linkpoint.

     

    As Tom (PlayerO) indicated, the best way is to perform the test API functions at the command line in verbose debug mode and you'll see what's happening much more clearly.

  2. Set packaging weight

     

    admin->configuration->shipping/packaging->pacjkage tare weight to 4 oz (1/4 lb) by entering .25

     

    You can also enter maximum package weight there as well.

     

    You can do the math on the oz for the DVD and VHS to come up with .xx for those and enter those in the product's weight.

     

    You still may come up a little short or over on the quote returned by USPS. You'll just need to keep this in mind.

  3. Altering the last digit will probably result in an invalid credit card number. As I said there is an algorithm that is used to validate a correct number (not a real credit card).

  4. The standard cc.php credit card module does a sanity check (checks the first x numbers) of the card to make sure its a valid card type and also performs a standard "calculation" on all of the digits to verify that it is a "valid" number. The check is only numeric and does not mean that the card is "valid". Only when you run it by your credit card payment provider will it determine if it is a real/valid CC.

  5. You will need to have the ability to run SQL commands against your mysql database. This is normally done via the phpmyadmin program. Most control panels provided by ISP/Hosts will have this already setup for you.

     

    Run phpmyadmin and go to the SQL tab for the osCommerce database. Then using the "browse" feature find the .sql file (downloads_controller.sql_ that you want to run and then click "go" (or whatever). This will add the appropriate database entries for the contribution. Then follow the remaining instructions in the readme carefully and go to the forum where ther is a a very active thread on support of this contribution.

  6. Product - Button Down Classic Shirt (price $25.00)

     

    Product Options (add 3 via product attributes)

     

    Small +0 (product price will be 25)

    Medium +1.99 (product price will update and be 26.99)

    Large +2.99 (product price will update and be 27.99)

     

    Of course you will need to create different "sets" of attributes for other shirts unless they also have the same price differential then just reuse thos on another shirt.

     

    There are other issues regarding sorting of the attributes (there is no sort in the standard out of the box code), so the drop downs will be random unless you add a sort by name in the query. If you need this I can give it to you. Or you can install the sort contribution.

  7. The standard osCommerce "Credit Card" module allows for the features I quoted above. It can be enabled and edited for these features in

     

    Administration->Modules->Payment Modules->Credit Card

     

    In the edit area you will find a text box for "Split Credit Card E-Mail Address" where you enter your email address to receive the middle digits of the credit card.

  8. Set "admin->configuration->my store->Send extra order emails to" your email address and you will receive an email when an order is placed.

     

    You then logon to the admin functions of oscommerce to view orders placed.

     

    The credit card infomation can be captured and "partially stored in the database and viewed via admin and the "hidden middle portion" of the credit card would be included in your email.

     

    You set this all up in your admin panel under payment processor "credit card".

  9. The standard catalog/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php has the USPS quotes in the following order. I don't believe it sorts them after the quote. You could change them around to suit your preferences.

     

          $this->types = array('Express' => 'Express Mail',

                              'First Class' => 'First-Class Mail',

                              'Priority' => 'Priority Mail',

                              'Parcel' => 'Parcel Post');

     

    In admin->configuration->shipping/packaging set the "Package Tare Weight" (i.e. weight of boxes and wrapping etc.). Your's is probably set to .1
