    Jack_mcs reacted to patrocine in Addon access   
    I think that it is only fair that those who wish to continue with OsCommerce 2.3 continue working on it and thus we will have two versions of oscommerce.
    OsCommerce 2.3 is easier to modify and for companies that have to make constant changes in the code, they are more adapted and everything is easier for them
    I have a saying "What is beautiful excites, what I practice sells" everything has to be practical first.
    The best eCommerce ideas over 20 years are in these contributions.

    We need access to the old addons now, not "shortly". If you refuse to provide access to this open source content authored by developers who offered this content for free, would you at least consider paid access? It's impossible for forum members to provide support to those in need if we can't reference the files.

    You have to add a symlink to direct the template to the shops root, or wherever you want it to show. This really should be done automatically in my opinion. Maybe in a future version.
    It's a known problem. See my post here. The oscommerce team, apparently, doesn't consider it important. I think it is a big mistake on their part.
    They were removed by the new owners. They said they would be added back in but nothing so far.

    @14steve14If you are not using the latest version you can download it from here. But where it is failing is where the name is filled in so it might be that you have a product or two without a name. I would look at the products_description table, assuming that is what it fails on, and check that there are not any products missing names. Or if you are using Header Tags SEO make sure to run fill tags.

    Jack_mcs got a reaction from osCommerce-Official in Can't make template active   
    When I copy a template it shows up in themes but I cannot view it on the shop side. I see there are directories for the included templates but not for the one I copy. Do I need to manually copy the files? I don't know if assigning the theme to a sales channel is required but I tried that - no luck. I can't find any mention of this in the wiki.
    Also, in case it matters, when I copy the theme that progress window never closes. I left it running for hours to see if it would but never did. If I cancel it the copied theme is there but I wonder if it is complete?

    Jack_mcs got a reaction from Smoky Barnable in Can't run on local server   
    @osCommerce-OfficialI tried installing V4 onto my local wamp server. At the start of the install there was a message that said V4 wouldn't run when apache was on Windows. I went ahead and tried it and the splash page did show up but the admin displays a denied message. I asked  Andrei about it and he said it should work but to post here if I couldn't get it going. I checked all of the listed requirements and they are present. Not being able to run this locally will cause a lot of extra work and delays for developers, at least for me. Is there a way to get this to work?

    Totally! In fact it is already available for download off the main website. It is just the forum post has not been posted yet as we are dealing with some minor teething issues. Once those are all resolved we will be updating the Forum accordingly.

    Jack_mcs reacted to Smoky Barnable in USPS Rate V4, Intl Rate V2 (official support thread)   
    I manually changed the configuration_key MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TYPES in the configuration table in the database as well. If you already made the changes in usps.php, then removing and installing the module would update the table. Seems to work ok now. Yeah, really tired of the usps api changes over the years.😠

    A new version has been uploaded with these changes:
    Free Version
    Added the clear_ip_manually sql file (in Extras) to allow clearing of an IP that blocks you from admin. Added visitor count to the header. Added tool to whitelist an IP. Changed the blocking code when the bad bot trap is tripped to only store the IP once - it was storing it twice. Changed the status function to return violations if Honey Pot is used. Corrected a database query in admin that caused intermittent errors. Fixed problem that could occur in multi-language shops. Fixed the prolem in Tools that prevented the selected tool from staying open. Moved some code out of a loop to improve speed in admin. Moved some code to common functions. Pro Version:
    Added more hacker defines. Added a function to check if a customer exists to prevent accidental blocking. Requires Honey Pot.    Added code to identify an IP that was banned by Honey Pot in the Banned Log. Requires Honey Pot. Added code to allow checking IP's on abusepdb.com. Added a tool to check for blocked customers. Added a search option to the Monitor page. Fixed the banned log code to set the initial sort method correctly. Changed how the blocking code works when a block is done in Honey Pot's Maintenance section. Requires honey Pot. Changed the code to track errors to use SCRIPT_NAME instead of REFERER for better results. Changed the wording of the report text to better identify where the error occurred. Removed the timeout value in CURL for downloading the database to allow for larger databases.

    If your admin has a popup login that was created by the control panel, or manually, then that will most likely fail since the path to the file it uses will change. In that case, just delete the .htaccess file in admin and create a new one with the control panel. Also, if the path to the files have changed then you will have to change the configure files. And if the username of the account has changed you will have to change the database credentials.

    Jack_mcs got a reaction from Smoky Barnable in View Counter   
    I don't have a shop set up with View Counter that will run with php 8 so I can't test this.
     But that error is due to an invalid timestamp value so my first guess is that you have changed the time format entry in the View Counter settings. 
    But since it is only failing on the server I think it more likely that the servers mysql version has strict mode set. The code should work even with that set but until I am able to test it that might be a quick fix.

    It is planned but I don't know when. The class you mentioned has to be overridden most likely. There is probably a way to do that but I haven't gone through the code.

    @Omar_oneI've never seen that happen before so I don't have a quick answer for you. But the current version is 1.12 and there have been a very large number of changes in it compared to version 1.8 that have to do with handling the database so I suggest you upgrade first to see if that fixes it.

    CloudFlare replaces the IP that View Counter sees so it won't work properly. The code works fine but the displayed IP's belong to CloudFlare and so they are useless. There used to be a module CF offered to show the real IP but that no longer works. They have a different way of doing it now but I could never get it to work. CF wanted to run tests to see why but it was a live shop so that wasn't possible.
    They never mentioned that SERVER variable. If that is always available and valid, then you change the following in includes/modules/view_counter.php
    $thisIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; //increase scope switch (true) { to
    $thisIP = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; //increase scope switch (false) {

    A new version has been updated with these changes:
    Added countries to the country blocking list to account for differences in names. Added many entries to the hacker checking code. See notes below. Added cross-scripting to the extras .htaccess file. Changed the trap code since it could give false results under rare conditions. Changed the Good IP list setting to a textarea. Changed code to prevent some php notices. Changed code for the IP Details dialog. Should always return the details now. Changed the javascript popup code for checking if an IP is in a cidr to use the messagestack. Changed the .htaccess writing code to properly handle the deny surrounding statements. Changed the .htaccess writing code to use the servers setenv mod for blocking domain names. Changed the IP count on the Monitor page to also show counts for bots and admin. Changed the IP In CIDR button to Check Status. It now checks more places for blocked IP's, though not as many as in the Pro version. Corrected code that prevented hacker code checking in some cases. Corrected code to return correct responses for all bans. Fixed the code for syncing the .htaccess file and database to prevent duplicate entries. Made a number of minor changes for speed improvement. Moved the hacker checking code that was in two files to one file. PRO VERSION ONLY:
    Added a Security Test in Tools. Added a Similar IP's report. Allows moving single blocked IP's into CIDR's. Added a table of Amazon IP's and an option to allow blocking them. Added a table of good bot IP's (currently only googles) and an option to skip them so they are not accidentally blocked. Added a cron script to backup the banned and ignored IP's. Added cross-checking of blocked IP's between Honey Pot and View Counter. Added a search by IP to the banned log page. Changed the Banned log to record the count of attempts by an IP. Changed the IP In CIDR button to Check Status. It now checks if the entered IP is blocked or ignored in any way. Corrected typos in the database only blocking code. Improved the email tracking code. Improved the Hosts blocking code. NOTES:
    1 - The Pro version contains many more features and security checks than the free version. It now also communicates with Honey Pot to increase protection. Contact me for a package price for the Pro versions or if you have any questions about what is available.
    2 - The Extra directory has an .htaccess that has code to help prevent attacks. It needs to be merged with the existing one. It is not a direct replacement. This is not part of View Counter and is useful for any site.
    3 - The Extra directory has a large robots.txt file. If used, be sure to change the two places where the domain is mentioned. If you do not have an XML sitemap for your shop, which is a mistake, be sure to delete the second line mentioning the domain name.
    4 - I strongly suggest you install the Custom Server Error Pages addon. Besides adding error pages which many sites don't have, View Counter shows the failures and uses the failed attempts to block hackers. You will be surprised, at least I was, of the number of attempts the hackers make.
    5 - If you use any of the following in the shop, the includes/modules/view_counter_hacker_defines.php file will need to be edited to remove it.
    ads.txt
    assetlinks.json used to check apps may give false positives
    Fortinet
    humans.txt
    leafhacker an app. Not used but may cause false positives.
    phpmyadmin
    webfig
    Wordpress within the shop (unlikely).

    Jack_mcs got a reaction from osCommerce-Official in Old dog last used osC v2.3.3.4 maybe back in the game   
    Wordpress has a lot going for it but is not a shopping cart. So if you are looking to sell products it would be a mistake, in my opinion, to use it.
    They just released Beta 2 of it. There's no announcement as to when the final version will be out though they keep saying soon.
    It comes with a number of features that were not included in older versions. There is also a way to alter the appearance that they say is easy, though I've not had time to play with it. From their descriptions, the coding needed to make changes is far less than the older versions.
    Paypal is included. I'm not sure about USPS.
    You may want to ask in one of the threads where someone from oscommerce can better answer your questions, like this one.
