  1. Hi there,

     

    I'm really sorry but I've been taken away from osCommerce by other projects. I don't use osCommerce any longer since my last osCommerce client project folded. If anyone is interested, I'm now using Drupal (CMS) and Ubercart (ecommerce module for Drupal, highly recommended), Google it since I don't think I'm allowed to post links to competing projects on these forums.

     

    I'd be grateful if someone would take over the maintenance and support of this contribution.

    Seems like there have been many updates to the contrib since I last looked. Hopefully someone will pick up the support of this thread.

  2. Yep, I agree, I think its a bit of a dead thread.

  3. I searched the thread but couldn't unearth how to do what I need. Unless I'm overlooking some setting or post somewhere.

    My problem is this:

    My site has HUGE images that I'm scaling down with this contribution.

    And the contribution works great, it creates the thumbnail that people can click to make larger.

    The problem stems when they make it larger.

    The large images are 1700 x 1280 and are still a bit big at that size for the "Click to enlarge" version.

    I need an intermediate size that would show up when clicked to be enlarged, that can still be clicked one step further to become the massive size if one wishes to see the detail that much more.

    Then clicked again to become intermediate, clicked again to become massive, so on and so forth, or x'd to close the popup.

     

    Would someone be kind enough to help me out or point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance.

    What you describe is not possible with the contrib in it's current state. You would need to add the functionality yourself or bribe/convince someone else to do it for you.

     

    You could use a batch image tool to resize the images to your intermediate size and then provide a link to the full sized image in the description.

  4. Does anyone know if there is a way to modify this contribution to give the cheapest item for free rather than averaging the total of the items and subtracting that?

     

    This seems to be the most common use of this type of discount (in the UK at least) and it would be better for the shop owner too.

  5. Hi all,

    I found the following errors in my Server error_log.

    PHP Warning:  %v%v() [<a href='function.%v'>function.%v</a>]: Invalid image dimensions in

    any idea what is wrong?

    Is GD available on your server?

  6. I don't seem to be able to find any info on the error codes. I wish there was more I could do.

     

    I've reverted to making a manual backup using gzip by logging in to my server using ssh. If you have ssh and you have shell access you can make a backup like so:

     

    ssh example.com -l [email protected]

    cd /path/to/oscommerce/

    tar cvpzf backup.tar.gz .

     

    This will make an archive of your oscommerce installation which you can then transfer using ftp or scp.

     

    I will be thinking of a better solution over the next few weeks and if I come up with anything I'll post here.

  7. Hi All,

    might anyone assist?

     

    I run an almost clean MS2.2 (Got Admin Access, Easy Populate and STS). I installed this grat contrib but I got an issue.

    When I click on thumbs they do not enlarge and I get back a JS script error (the ones you see bottom-left in Internet Explorer).

    Also, I copied all the code of step 7 in the right position as it was on the readme file. I got an "unexpected } on line 197" when i was loading the catalog from the browser. So I removed that "}" And it works fine. Excpet for the popup windowses not diplaying.

     

    Where am I wrong?

     

    Thank you a Lot.

    Can anyone confirm this please?

  8. i've encountered this major problem

     

    Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'nobody@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/seantatz/public_html/cart/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

    Unable to connect to database server!

     

    after i've installed this contribution. anyone wanna help me with this? i'm sure i didn't touch database.php nor did i change any passwords

    Check your settings in configure.php

  9. Thanks for an awesome Contribution, I have it installed on many of my test stores and one Live site.. Thing is on my live site...which is on the same server as all my other sites it quit working and gave error 2. I have re-installed it a couple times and checked all my permissions but no go? Also the generated file is always 45 bytes every time i try it ????? Any ideas thanks?!

    Well, I've been having some problems with error code 2 recently. I'll post back when I find out why.

  10. Well I am using a template from templatemonster.com and I found that this bit of code was throwing a wrench in it.

    <?php 
    if (tep_not_null($product_info['products_image'])) { 
    ?>

     

    If there was no image uploaded, it wouldn't show the details. I simply commented it out and now the no_image.jpg as well as the product details show up fine. So nope, it wasn't the contrib. Thanks anyway.

    It is often the case that templates are not what one expects when they buy them as the creators usually don't care about the ramifications of their modifications on the stability of the system after you have made your purchase. I'm glad you managed to find the problem and now have a working site.

  11. hello

     

    tried to install on the fly auto thumbnailer and i worked fine untill i did something and suddenly both my admin and shop went totally bananas. have tried to step-by-step replace the files i've changed but still the same error shows:

     

    shop:

     

    Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /hsphere/local/home/slimjim/karen.peterlundgren.se/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server!

    admin:

    anyone had this problem?

    if so, please help me...

     

    /peter

    I hope this is not still a problem for you.

     

    If it is this is most likely something to do with your configure.php files having the wrong settings for your database.

  12. Hi,

     

    Great contrib first off. I followed the instructions, and even went over them two more times and everything seems to work fine when it comes to uploading images and the creation of the thumbnails. Also the product listings show the "No Image" pic as a thumbnail. The problem I have run into is that when I click on the item that I have not added an image to and go to the details page the only thing that comes up is the date the product was added. None of the product details is displayed. This only happens on items that I have not added an image to and it should show the "No Image" pic but nothing shows.

     

    Here is the website.

     

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I can't see how this contribution would cause the symptoms you are experiencing. Maybe you have installed another contribution or messed up your site some other way. I doubt that it would be anything to do with this contrib.

  13. Hello,

    Im new to oscommerce and php. Im trying to install 'on the fly' Auto Thumbnailer using GG library. Im having a problem on "step#4 Verify config settings".

     

    Step#4 says;

    In catalog/includes/configure.php

     

    Verify the following code exists (21, 22, 23)

    define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

    define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

     

    Note: Check this configuration file to make sure the path is set correctly for both your catalog directory and your images directory.

     

    With the above example, the DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG value should be /catalog/ and the DIR_WS_IMAGES value images/. (Notice that it doesn't have a leading slash)

     

    My fyle in catalog/includes/configure.php line 21,22 e 23 says:

     

    define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

    define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

     

    What should i do? I tryed lots of things that didnt work.

     

    Thak you

    Miguel

    Your settings should only contain /catalog/ if you've got your site in a sub-directory named catalog.

  14. Thanks to everyone that worked on this contrib, it's great and running perfectly in my store.

    Just a little note: in product_thumb.php there is an outdated reference to a textfile on line 11:

     

    // Used in conjunction with modified tep_image in html_output.php (see: readme.txt).

     

    This should probably be changed to readme.html

    Please feel free to update the contribution.

  15. I'm having a quality problem. The thumbnails being generated are really chunky. Here's an example:

     

    http://www.littleotsu.com/catalog/product_...19e50c9c7b5af5a

     

    Any help is super appreciated. Thanks!

    Is this still an issue?

     

    As this contribution will resample your images it's best to keep high quality originals as the additional processing done by the compression will further deteriorate your images. Try it with higher quality images if it's still a problem.

  16. I've installed osCommerce PayPal IPN Module v2.2 For 2.2MS2 by Terra which seemed to be the latest full release. Everything is working apart from order emails are not sent out and the order status remains at Preparing [PayPal IPN] forever.

     

    Is this a common problem?

  17. I have never had a problem with sessions before until now. Is there anything specific I should be looking at to fix this problem with the 'PAY' button?

    Well, I did mean that I was going to try another paypal contribution but I guess I'll leave things as they are for now and install them on a fresh installation.

     

    The contribution is working apart from the session problem at the end of checkout. Thanks for all your efforts creating this contribution. I hope I can manage to get it working.

    This was all due to working on localhost. Anyone having problems with this contribution when trying to test it on localhost should try it on their hosted server.

     

    Alex: Sorry for the hassle.

  18. The big blue 'PAY' button redirects you to login page because the session has been dropped. This means your sessions/cookies is not setup correctly, or not working.

    Actually you can leave the modified files without restoring backup files, and remove this module in admin.

  19. I'm talking about:

     

    Plaese use file comparing tool like WinMerge to make modifications to

     

    catalog/checkout_payment.php

    catalog/checkout_shipping.php

     

    I found it fairly easy to install this contribution by adding the code between the comments in those files. I don't know if there were any other modifications that were not commented. As I had changed my layout quite a bit I had to convert the added files to match my layout. This was not too much of a problem to put me off.

     

    I think there should also be some step-by-step instructions as are found with most other contributions. I think it would make it easier for people who may not be used to using a file comparison program.

     

    Have you managed to test this contribution on localhost? I can't seem to get it to work. I receive the dumps by email which say 'success' but I don't get an order because the big blue button redirects to the login.php page. Why would this happen?

     

    Since only two files were modified (not including filenames.php) and since I made a backup of these files and I turned off this module in the admin, do you think it would be fine to rename the newly modified versions of these files and replace them with the backups, then if I find a way to make this contribution work I can just switch the files again and everything should be back?

     

    I need to check out that diagnostic script I guess.

  20. I've just installed this contribution and when I click the massive blue 'pay' button it redirects to the login page. There are no install instructions with this contribution so there is really no way to check if I have done everything correctly as using a file-merge program is pretty hard when you have a 9 month old code base with literally hundreds of contributions installed.

     

    I don't really care for the 'express checkout' part of this contribution but I seem to remember that paypal insist that merchants show it as a payment option.

     

    I think I'm going to uninstall this, try some others and if they are worse come back to this one. This seems to work fine apart from the redirect on the pay button. Maybe I need to use the same email address at paypal as I am using to create the account in oscommerce?

     

    Regards,

     

    Richard

  21. That would be very easy. You could have a set of radio buttons to choose which type of archive you wish to create and add the z flag to the command and .gz to the end of the extension when gzip is selected. It would also be easy enough to make this work with zip too. Maybe even detect which are available in the system and only show options to select from the available compression types.

     

    Anyway, it's past my bedtime.
