I have installed all of the latest patches, etc. for the contribution Advanced Search – Attributes at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2337 The only issue that I am having however is that all of the attributes, in my case color, are displaying in the list box regardless of the language chosen. There was a patch provided over 4 years ago and many versions earlier then the latest version that supposedly addressed the issue and i have included that patch in the code without success. Any assistance would be appreciated as the rest of the contribution works fine. Thanks. Philip

Don, did you ever find a payment module for PayByCash or work with them to develop an interface? I am interested in their product as well. Thanks. Philip

Yes, it has been a problem for months now with PayPal. I experience it myself when paying for auction from eBay. Usually the problem presents itself when I use a browser other than IE. If I switch to using IE, the problem usually goes away. But a few months ago, even using IE did not resolve the problem. PayPal's work around was to have you go into your account, delete your primary checking account, pay for the account with a different account, and then after you had successfully made your payment then add the primary checking account information back into your account. I haven't had to do that for a few months and it even affected my ability to transfer funds from my PayPal business account to my checking account. But of most recent switching to IE to make the payment seems to work. You could have the customer try and clear their cache but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. Philip

Search for a contribution called Discount Coupon Codes. I use it currently on my site.

Backa few months ago I was also new to osCommerce but I purchased a book on Amazon written by David Mercer entitled "osCommerce: Beginner's Edition". It expplained a lot of things about osCommerce including configuring various options including how to use PayPal IPN module for PayPal paymat least the Beginner's Edition. Also remember that your Merchant Account to accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover payments has nothing to do with PayPal and you need to configure a separate module in osCommerce to accept credit card payments. You have to set up as separate Business account with PayPal and they have a "sandbox" for their test environment.

The problem was that somehow the default language was no longer checked. Once I checked, in my case English, as the default language the problem was resolved. Dpcumenting the resolutions others can have as a reference incase they run up against the same problem. :thumbsup:

The problem is resolved. It was apparently related to file permissions that had become messed up by the hosting service. :thumbsup:

All of my international customers are unable to view my site. They receive the following error message: Warning: main(includes/languages/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/osc/includes/application_top.php on line 286 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/pkg/php-4.4.2/lib/php') in /web/osc/includes/application_top.php on line 286 I have English, English_GBP, French, Espanol, & German installed with all of the required files in the appropriate directories. When I developed the English_GBP I just copied the English file and folder and associated the Union Jack with that language and for French I used one of the contributions and validated that all of the files were present. I can of course access my site based in the USA and I can change the language and everything works fine, but international customers when they attempt to navigate to my site, they receive the above error message. I would appreciate any assistance or ideas. Thank you. Philip

Did you figure out your problem? I am getting the same error code. Thank you. Philip

Mikey, did you get a resolution to your problem? I am getting the same error message with my production my web site for any international customer. Philip

I am experiencing a problem where a customer has placed an order, which was confirmed as he mailed the order confirmation page to me with his payment, but the order was not written to the orders database. I have received other customer orders that paid either with the generic Credit Card or the PayPal IPN payment modules that did write to the database. I didn't know the order was placed until I received the payment and order confirmation page from the customer. I would appreciate any suggestions or if there is a know error and fix for this problem. Thanks. Philip

I noticed when comparing file that \catalog\checkout_confirmation.php has anothr chnage form the earlier version at line 48 and that is not inlcuded in your instructions. The previous version had the following code segment: //kgt - discount coupons if (!tep_session_is_registered('coupon')) tep_session_register('coupon'); if (tep_not_null($HTTP_POST_VARS['coupon'])) { //this needs to be set before the order object is created, but we must process it after $coupon = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['coupon']); } //end kgt - discount coupons and the new version has: //kgt - discount coupons if (!tep_session_is_registered('coupon')) tep_session_register('coupon'); //this needs to be set before the order object is created, but we must process it after $coupon = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['coupon']); //end kgt - discount coupons Please advise about this difference. Thanks for the contributon.

I found the instructions in the book "osCommerce: Beginner's Editoin" by David Mercer to be very instructive for both PayPal IPN and many other topics. You can purchase it Amazon or other bookstores.

I have version 1.3b installed. Is this fix for the specific browser and version of browser needed in v1.3b? Also, is there a way to make the popup browser window to have the scroll bars enabled? I am resizing my image height but that is based upon a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels. They are actually smaller to accommodate the navigation buttons. Also, I have tried different modifications to enable the text; e.g., Next and Previous, to be text constants defined in the appropriate language files; e.g., english, espanol, etc., but without success. An way to enable that functionality? Thanks for the contribution as it saved me having to maintain old html pages from my FrontPage developed site for the additional images. I am using the ImageMagic version of popup_images.php

You will find that phrase in each of the language files for PayPal IPN. The path to them is catalog\inlcudes\languages\english\modules\payment\paypal_ipn.php Substitute german or espanol for english in the path and modify the phrase in those two respective files and any other languages that you are supporting on your web site. Make sure you make a backup of your existing file(s) before editing although just in case.

I have just completed the Sandbox testing. I didn't find that the order comment in the Admin Customers\Orders was updated but perhaps that is because it is testing mode while the FAQ indicated that the order comment status would be updated as the payment process proceeded. Is this correct or am I missing something? Also, I noticed as I was switching customers that since the first customer selected PayPal as the payment method that after logging out and logging in as a different customer that when I went to pay that PayPal was selected instead of the payment method that is sort order 1. Is this because of a cookie situation since I am using the same PC or is something in the code that can fixed such that the default is always displayed according to the sort specified in the Admin Module\Payment? Thanks for this wonderful contribution.

Search for the PayPal IPN contribution. I think that you will like its fucntionality better. You also need to setup a test account with them. Lots of informaiton in the contribution. I have to test both PayPal and Paymentech. One of my tasks for this week. So much to do before the end of the month.

I too have been MS bCentral for years now and have been busy converting to osCommerce. Linkpoint is one of the supported gateways and if you are staying with Concentric for your hosting their professional service group can assist you.

Thanks for your quick reply. Sounds like just what I need. I am a programmer, from years ago, but not PHP so I understand what I am reading but not necessarily the syntax and commands yet. Email address is [email protected] Again thanks.

First of all thank you for this contribution Skittles. I am migrating over from Microsoft bCentral and your contribution was what I was looking for my US based shipping needs. I am using this in conjunction with another contribution "Additional Shipping Options for Zone Module" as I also ship internationally but use a standard rate amount based upon order cost and then adjust through my payment gateway the actual shipping and handling cost. One item that I would like to change is the interstate.php code and the supporting english language file is from shipping weight and lb(s) to something like Order Cost or perhaps I could just remove that portion of code from the interstate.php. Before I just go and remove code, I wanted to verify that it would not cause any harm. That would involve modifying to display the price range from the zone rate or just delete those lines of code in the $shipping_method display statement and remove shipping_weight and INTERSTATE_TEXT_UNITS. I would appreciate your suggestion. Again thanks for the contruibution and your assistance. Philip

I found it now. It is labeled "Credit/Debit Card (via PayPal)"

I am a newby to osCommerce. I downloaded and installed the files to the folders as indicated in the v2.2 for 2.2MS2 instructions. My site is organized with a web folder at the root, the osc folder subordinate to that, and I created the folder ext subordinate to the osc folder. I created the remaining new folders \ext\modules\payment\paypal_ipn and copied the paypal_ipn.php file to that folder. I copied the other files to their appropriate includes\languages folders. I uninstalled the PayPal module in Payment Modules but there is no additonal entry for the PayPal IPN module. Is there supposed to be a separate entry to install and configure? Thanks.
