  1. I spoke with the user via email yesterday, and it turns out he simply thought the contribution would do something it wasn't designed to do. He thought we would be able to use it to circumvent having to configure his store to use the new URL, which it won't. As of now v0.9 is fully functional and bug free. Just to clarify one more time.. Let me illustrate the application of the contribution with a senario. You create a store @ http://www.myserver.com/mystore/catalog. It's working great, and you decide to register the URL http://www.mystore.com and set the DNS up to point to ../mystore/catalog on your server. You've reconfigured osCommerce in the configure.php file to build links, access files, etc. through your new URL (www.mystore.com) and everything is working great. You notice, however, that a user can still access individual pages via typing in http://myserver.com/mystore/catalog/index.php (or any other file, directory, etc). You also notice that Google is indexing pages with that address too... When a user clicks on a link on your site, they are taken to the new URL (because you configured it in configure.php) but you are still a bit annoyed - you payed $8 for that domain name! Solution : URL Gatekeeper v0.9! You configure & install the gatekeeper.php and also modify your application_top.php file. Now, when someone tries to open an page with a URL that contains http://www.myserver.com/mystore/catalog/, URL Gatekeeper builds a new link by replacing myserver.com/mystore/catalog with mystore.com and then automatically redirects the browser to the correct URL AND modifies the browser history with the correct URL, so the wrong one is erased for good! Clicking on this link : http://www.myserver.com/mystore/catalog/somepage.php takes you to http://www.mystore.com/somepage.php I hope that clarifies any confusion. It is a very simply contribution with a very limited, although very useful, application. To see it in action try visiting http://www.175g.com/sukara - you will be sent to http://www.SukaraSterling.com You can also try to replace www.SukaraSterling.com with www.175g.com/sukara in any URL generated by the store, and you will be taken to the correct SukaraSterling.com page. Ciao, Anthony David Adams
  2. Someone posted this 'bug report', however I was unable to replicate it on my server. Has anyone else had this difficulty? Here is my response, which I have also posted in the contribution area.
  3. URL Gatekeeper v0.9 by Anthony David Adams URLGatekeeper is a simple script which assures that your store is only accessible via the domain name you specify. It's main application is for servers hosting multiple domains via DNS pointing & subdirectories. Store owners who may be hosting their shop on a main server, and using a DNS pointing service for the store domain will find it useful. URLGatekeeper allows only URL's with the correct domain (www.YOURSTORE.com) to access files. If a non-specified (but valid) domain name / URL is used to access your catalog, the user will simply be redirected to the appropriate page using the approved domain. It features a JavaScript redirect which will overwrite the browser history, to avoid the dreaded 'back-forward' redirect loop. It also includes a redundant meta-refresh for browsers that may have JavaScript disabled, or for spiders, etc. Should prevent search engines from displaying pages with the non-allowable URL. May also redirect IP address access. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4847/
  4. is there a way to simply not show an attribute if it is out of stock for a particular item? Specifically, is there built in functionality in QT Pro? I'd rather not have the annoying message saying your selection is out of stock (on the default item in the attribute list) if none is there - nor do I want the customer to be able to select an attribute that isn't there. Thanks.
  5. Chooch, Thanks for the tip. Is there anything special outside the install instructions with the two contributions that is needed to make them work together? I will try it tonight and report back ;) In the meantime I disabled non-account holders from paying via paypal, and enabled the generic CC module. My girlfriend has a CC machine in her clothing store, so shouldn't be a problem while I get this up and running. Ciao, Anthony David Adams
  6. Terra, I am new to the forums and just wanted to be sure my searching didn't fail to turn up the solution I'm looking for! Love your work, and I am impressed with the following you've got here in the forums! I am trying to run my site with the new PayPal IPN (v2.0 I believe) and QTPro 4.3. I saw that you had written an integration file for some older versions and that you had planned on developing one for this. I was curious if that was available yet, and if not, if you had an ETA? Of course, I'll be grateful WHENEVER it is available ;) Thanks so much for all of your brilliant work! Anxiously awaiting your reply, Anthony David Adams
  7. Has anyone had success integrating the current versions of QTPro (4.3) & PayPal IPN (2.0)? I found a help file for integrating 4.25 w/ IPN v1.0 but so far, nothing on the current builds. I am in dire need of running my site with both of these operational - please help!? Ciao, Anthony David Adams P.S. I mis-posted this in a general forum - I'm new, my apologies. Delete if needed!
  8. My bad - it's actually the IPN v2.0 that I'm looking to integrate with QTPro...
  9. Has anyone successfully integrated the new PayPal IPN (osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 PayPal IPN Payment Module v1.3) module with QTPro v4.3? I have a site up and running and would like to make this happen. Wanted to hear if it's been done yet (or better, is there possibly a package floating around to integrate them both?) If no, I'll make sure to document my work and try to put together what would be my first contribution. however my site is also modded a bit... Thanks! Anthony David Adams
