  1. It's included in the PHP Wrapper that you can get on the Linkpoint support site. It's free, and it contains sample code on all of the types of transactions you can perform using their interface.

  2. My 2 cents....

     

    You could install the "Purchase Without An Account" contribution so your customers would be able to proceed to checkout, provide essential shipping addresses etc. and payment details without having to "sign-up".

    Then just use the standard "Credit Card" payment module that will collect the Credit Card number (do minimal sanity checking on the number) for you to process manually.

  3. Jim,

     

    If you run the test script at the command line and NOT in your browser you will at least see any errors messages that are being generated from curl and other processes that will not show up in the browser. The 404 page not found won't help you determine exactly why the script can't communicate. Also with the output from the command line you can show your doubtful HOST provider the actual failed communication messages.

     

    If you don't have ssh access AND your host won't work with you to resolve it, then RUN as fast as you can to a new ISP.

     

    Let me know if I can help any.

  4. Sounds like a communications problem between your host and linkpoint.

     

    Could be a firewall issue.

     

    Check with your host to see if any changes were made recently.

     

    If you have ssh access, run the test scripts that linkpoint provides and turn on debugging in those test scripts. At the shell (ssh) you'll be able to see any firewall deny issues on the linkpoint ports etc.

  5. I'm not familar with the Deutsche Parcel contribution, but it probably is similar to others.

     

    Try setting

     

    Administration->Configuration->Shipping/Packaging->Package Tare Weight

     

    This value will be added to all of your shipped packages as it is the weight of cartons and packing materials. It probably is set to 3. You can make it 0 or whatever you wish.

  6. I remember this or something very similar happening on my site. As I recall the SSL port was being blocked by my host's firewall. Linkpoint secure site has a special port they use.

     

    Check with your host to if they tightened down the "port" access.

     

    The curl error is probably just a timeout condition with the firewall not letting the request in/out.

     

    You can verify this by running the linkpoint test scripts at the shell level and set debug on. You'll see if the connections are being blocked as well as any other indicative messages that might point to the problem.

  7. mmmm,

     

    Almost all of the threads via the following "Search" words (uploaded Temporary filename:) in the forum indicate either a permissions problem or a non-existent or inadvertantly named /tmp vs /temp directory/folder.

     

    Check a few of those threads and see if anything else pops up.

  8. My guess is that the contribution would require a pretty tough change to eliminate the use of "\n" in some of it's uploads.

     

    The apache mod is checking all of the "POST" data against certain patterns to hedge against hackers etc. The backslash is one of those patterns.

     

    See if your host will turn off the POST_PAYLOAD check of the apache mod. Otherwise I don't know of another option. Also, you might be able to turn it off via .htaccess - you'd need to check with your host on this as well.

  9. The function cc_validation is in catalog/includes/classes/cc_validation.php

     

    I'm not sure what other payment modules might use this function so be carefull regarding removing the validation of certain cards. It should work just fine though for the simple cc payment module.

  10. I don't know of any contributions but you could capture them via the error_log function.

     

    In catalog/advanced_search_results.php around line 248 find

    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($search_keywords); $i<$n; $i++ ) {

     

    add the following code after that line

          error_log($search_keywords[$i] . "\n", 3, "d:\\temp\\keywords.txt");

     

    Change the third parameter to a path that is appropriate for your environment.

  11. The credit card validation code only verifies that the credit number is a valid number based upon the type of card. The following "regular expressions are used.

     

    Also, it performs a standard cross check of the numbers - some special algorithm that makes sure the check-sums are ok.

     

    It DOES NOT verify that the credit card is good.

    if (ereg('^4[0-9]{12}([0-9]{3})?$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'Visa';

          } elseif (ereg('^5[1-5][0-9]{14}$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'Master Card';

          } elseif (ereg('^3[47][0-9]{13}$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'American Express';

          } elseif (ereg('^3(0[0-5]|[68][0-9])[0-9]{11}$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'Diners Club';

          } elseif (ereg('^6011[0-9]{12}$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'Discover';

          } elseif (ereg('^(3[0-9]{4}|2131|1800)[0-9]{11}$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'JCB';

          } elseif (ereg('^5610[0-9]{12}$', $this->cc_number)) {

            $this->cc_type = 'Australian BankCard';

          } else {

            return -1;

  12. You want me to get the code for update from easypopulate.php and try it under phpMyAdmin?

     

    Yes, and I'm not a consultant ;) , just trying to help out here.

     

    If you want to find out why the update is not working, you'll need to run the sql code in phpmyadmin. You may need to find the code in easypopulate (i don't have it nor have never used it) and echo out the sql text or alternatively turn sql logging on via admin. Maybe some else has the EXACT line in easypopulate where you can display the actual SQL code.

     

    Once you have the exact syntax of one of the update statements, run it in phpmyadmin and see what message you get. If indeed the database is not being updated, you'll get some kind of message from phpmyadmin.

  13. Hi Jey,

     

    Gee, no one is helping you on a Saturday night / Sunday morning? Threatening not to help any one else is not going to help you.

     

    As you so pointedly stated in your thread.....a few months back.

     

    http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67481&hl=

     

    Ask a consultant to help you if you're this desperate.

     

    I'm sure folks will help if they can. Maybe a bit more ingormation on the specific mysql update command that appears not to be working would help someone find out what the problem is.

     

    Can you copy/paste the exact update command into phpmyadmin and see if any error messages appear?

     

    Have you checked the mysql error log (usually the same error log as the webserver).

     

    This kind of problem is not a simple problem to diagnose with a simple answer. I'll be happy to try and help you out if your willing to work it!

  14. Wiki documentation will help on how to establish a set of "drop down" choices (i.e. product attributes) that your CUSTOMER will choose from while in your store.

     

    http://wiki.oscommerce.com/docsAdminCatAtt

     

    However, if I understand you correctly, your not trying to set up customer choices but rather a mechanism for you to input a single value for each of the options for each of your products. This will be quite cumbersom using product attributes but should work.

     

    However, I think what your trying to do is set up a template like product description that will allow to add your products and configure the description information for each product. It might be easier for you just to set up a single product as a base and copy that product in the admin section when you set up a new product and just input the descriptive information into your template for each product. That way the product descriptions and your options would not be in a single entry drop down menu.

     

    You could set up a nice looking HTML table with nice formatting and colors/fonts that you coould use as a base for each products description.

     

    Try the WYSIWYG editor in the following contribution to really sex up your descriptive information.
