  1. Actually not...the hosting will still be by the individual sites...only the indexing and searches will have a central server(s). Imagine using google to search for an auction...when you see an item you want...you will click to that items store. Of course each and every store will also have an auction search for their sites and all sites. I picture it as a block of its own for searches. Results could be displayed within the site that the search was performed from. You might lose SOME sales over this but overall traffic will increase. I think many OSC sellers are home businesses that sell unique products anyways. This could have HUGE potential for the OSC project. I do believe it's very possible to do this as well. Peer-to-Peer auctions have not yet been tried but with OSC its really possible since a seller base is already present. Does anyone know how many stores are using either MS1 or MS2? It has to be thousands. Imagine even 2000 stores do this. I think at any given time you could have 20,000 items up. That's a lot. And essentially it wont cost much if anything for OSC users. I am sure we could fund the servers just through donations and maybe ad sales or sponsorships. Let's think BIG. I am tired of Ebay raising rates and making more profit while I make less and less.
  2. 1.01 seems to work well...also add the add-ons for it.
  3. Just to make sense. The first thing would be creating an auction module for OSC where you create a product. Decide if you want it to be within the auction listing information. Then put in additional auction information such as starting price and auction length. Is this possible or am I pipe dreaming?
  4. Here are my thoughts. 1. We want a few different things when it comes to Auctions and OSC. a) Ebay integration where users checkout in OSC B) an auction listing mod from OSC to Ebay/Yahoo c) auctions within OSC outside of Ebay To me the biggest and best thing we could do is c. Why not create an excellent Peer-to-peer auction system for OSC? It could be HUGE! Imagine all OSC stores linked? It could cripple places like Amazon, Yahoo, and even Ebay. It could instantly have thousands of products and auctions. All without paying high fees. At worst we would need a central server to link them all. I would be betting that we could get it donated. I would be willing to donate for that. It shouldnt cost that much. A server in UK, Germany, East Coast and West Coast USA, and maybe a couple others. They could essentially link all the OSC sites and turn OSC into a gigantic market. It would be the largest online shopping mall ever! All with small business owners. This would be like Kazaa except for the online retail market. Just like the RIAA is in trouble a project like this could potentially crush Amazon and others.
  5. Just spent about 2 hours reading the thread and checking out solutions. Here are my thoughts. 1.

I am gonna copy and paste this into a new topic to see if it gets support. Go there and post please.
  6. I read that its for MS2 but that doesnt mean someone here hasnt tried it with MS1... I already installed the MS1 version but I am worried about bugs. I also see that the latest release allows for more options. Anyone want to comment on this? I really dont have the time tonight to read a few hundred posts in this thread. Maybe tomorrow I will have to do that.
  7. Will the latest release 2.01 work with MS1? Has anyone tried it? I am confused as to which version I should use for MS1. And no I cant upgrade since I have so many dang changes it will take me forever to do it. I will wait until MS3 to do a big upgrade.
  8. The one that I think you are referring to only allows for domain lookups and not any type of actual OPENSRS integration. It also doesnt allow for any hosting options. It might be useful but it needs a ton of work. Anyone else create a hosting/opensrs module for OSC?
  9. Is there an opensrs module yet? I tried to do a forums search but lately all I get is errors whenever I attempt a search. Looking to add domain registration for a site and OSC would be great.
  10. I get the same error...anyone know how to fix this. I am on OSC MS1
  11. Search function does not work either which is really important to find users that want something change...you cant manually look through a 5000 user database.
  12. I partially fixed this with changing onclick to onmouseclick which makes the action button work... However...I still am unable to get the radio buttons that are red and green to work. If I am on page 2 or more and I click a radio button then I get pushed to page 1 again without any changes being done. For now I can just use the action button and select edit for each individual user. This however should be fixed.
  13. Found a fix.. change onclick to onmouseclick... this is twice in the page... this does not yet fix the radio buttons but you can do the action and then edit the individual user.
  14. THis contrib is awesome and works really well... It should be added to the OSC release with an admin option for On/Off.
  15. I get an error in newsletters_subscribers_view.php....when I mouse over to edit a subscriber it doesn't work. If I manually change the cID in the URL then it works...I have to think the error lies in the code below. Anyone have a clue to fix this. This is for the Newsletter & Subscribers contrib found here... http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,535 So far it looks good but I havent tested a newsletter yet. Please help me out with the following code if you can. if ( (is_object($cInfo)) && ($subscribers['subscribers_id'] == $cInfo->subscribers_id) ) { echo ' <tr class="dataTableRowSelected" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand'" onclick="document.location.href='' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS_SUBSCRIBERS_VIEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('cID', 'action')) . 'cID=' . $cInfo->subscribers_id . '&action=edit') . ''">' . "n"; } else { echo ' <tr class="dataTableRow" onmouseover="this.className='dataTableRowOver';this.style.cursor='hand'" onmouseout="this.className='dataTableRow'" onclick="document.location.href='' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS_SUBSCRIBERS_VIEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('cID')) . 'cID=' . $cInfo->subscribers_id) . ''">' . "n"; } ?>
