Jack, I have just installed your latest version of this contribution and have run into a problem. I enter a start date and click the submit button and the list gets populated. However, when I click on a row heading to sort the list it reverts everything back to the way it was before I hit the submit button. Do you have any ideas as to what may be causing this? Thanks.

That's definitely out of my league... but I appreciate the thought. I'll just abort mission. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I think I'm beginning to understand the complexity of this contribution and how it operates. I'm wondering if there is a way to further control the way the tags are displayed on the product pages? For example, when I set up the product_info.php page I check the category, manufacturer, and product boxes (in that order) and then proceed to fill the tags. This is how the description and keyword tags look after this process: <meta name="Description" content="Category - Manufacturer - Description" /> <meta name="Keywords" content="Category , Manufacturer , Product" /> Is it possible to keep the keywords tag the way it is but have the description tag only show the description without the category and manufacturer in front of it? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks again Jack for this great contribution.

Yeah, they were working fine until just recently. English (1) is the only language I have available for my setup. I guess I'll have to keep looking. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I've run into a small error of sorts. I have Easy Populate v2.76 installed along with the newest update of Header Tags SEO which is v3.1.2 and I can't get them to work together. They were working together before I upgraded Header Tags SEO (from v3.09) but now when I try to upload an EP file the v_products_head_keywords_tag_1 field doesn't properly update anything. No matter what I put in the keywords field it doesn't update the database with these values. Make any sense? Can anyone give me a shove in the right direction? Thanks for your help.

I'm using Master Products contribution and I just noticed that on any master product listing that has slaves the <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, FOLLOW" /> tag is being added. Is this what is supposed to happen? Has anyone had this same experience?

Hello, Has anyone been successful in getting Master Products to work with Products Extra Fields? I am trying to get an extra filed to be populated in the product info page where the table appears for the slave products. Anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks

Alex, On the Featured Products page, the title line "Featured Products" doesn't link to anything... are you saying that you want it to? If so, you might look into editing the catalog/featured_products.php file. Also, to change this title to something else you need to look into your language files. Look for catalog/includes/languages/english/featured_products.php and change it to what you need. Hope it helps.

Linda, Perhaps this may help... If you have a modified shop it may be best to just upload the "New Files" and make the necessary manual edits. The "Modified Files" are for a fresh install of osCommerce. I did notice that I didn't properly update the "Modified Files" folder to reflect the new changes so this may be the problem if you did use the "Modified Files" folder. I have posted v1.6.3 to reflect those changes along with some minor clarifications to the install file. Please let me know if you are still having this problem and I will try to work you through it the best I can. Thanks Linda.

Linda, I cannot replicate the error you are having... unless I'm not fully understanding. When you say that you are redirected you mean that once you click on a product you do not advance to featured.php? It takes you back to the old (original) dropdown page? If this is the problem then I'm assuming that you missed a part of the install somewhere. Let me take a look at the installation files again and I'll see if I can sort this. On a side note, can you clarify what you meant by "copied the modified files over the old ones, and added the new ones"? Was this a fresh install of Featured Products or were you updating an older version? Thanks.

To all, I have just uploaded a new version (v1.6.2) of this contribution. The new version includes an improved method for administering featured products. Normally you would find a product dropdown that you would choose your products from. This version eliminates the dropdown and replaces it with a search function that will allow you to quickly find your products. This will be particularly useful for shops with a large number of products. The search feature was mirrored from the Select Specials contribution which does the same to your specials administration. So if you haven't looked at it yet be sure to check it out as it is a very useful contribution. Just to clarify: The Featured Products v1.6.2 (final) is the version to use. The previous two versions were not complete. I'm sorry for any confusion. I hope some will find this useful. Thanks.

Sorry for the late response. The problem was, as you correctly pointed out, that I was testing STS... hence the errors. All is working perfectly now and the contribution looks amazing. I really appreciate the time you invest in helping (myself and others) on the forums. I strongly believe that osCommerce would be nothing without the support and dedication of community members like you Jack. Thanks.

So here's what I did: I attempted to alter your code to work with the newest versions of X-Sell and SPPC. No luck. Every time I tried, all 6 times, the X-Sell box simply wouldn't show up for the "wholesale" accounts so I had no way of knowing if the correct prices were getting pulled from the database or not. I tried it with and without the cache mod. I then uninstalled the version I was using, v2.5.2, and then installed v2.3 as I figured maybe I had to downgrade a bit. No luck. So then I uninstalled that and I went on to install version 2.2 thinking that I hadn't downgraded enough perhaps. Still nothing. I'm totally confused and out of ideas. I just don't get how this isn't working. It seems that it would be a relatively simple edit to make the correct prices display but it's turning into a headache. If you have any other ideas please feel free to send them my way. Thanks again.

Tracy, Thank you for posting that. When I saw it I got a little excited in hope that I might make this work... but I can't :( Normally I'm pretty good at picking apart code and getting things to work together but I just can't seem to make the connection with this one. My xsell_products.php looks completely different than the one you posted (most notably the cache) and I just can't get it. What version is your file from? I have the most recent update... I really do appreciate you taking the time to post that though. I'll just have to keep searching. Thanks again.

Hello, I'm directing this to Jan or to Marvin Miller (if he is still on these forums). My question concerns the compatibility of SPPC and the X-Sell contribution found here. This was addressed in this forum back in early 2005 when Jan and Marvin worked together to create a modified xsell_products.php file that would correctly display the prices for the differing customer groups in SPPC. A link to that post can be found here. My question is whether or not it is possible to revisit this topic and create a newly modified xsell_products.php file that will work with the current versions of both SPPC and X-Sell. For whatever reason, as the X-Sell contribution evolved, the SPPC modifications were removed and the file from 2005 no longer works with SPPC (at least for me). I have tried to modify and merge the files myself but I'm afraid I have failed in my efforts. If anyone has successfully modified this file to work with SPPC I would be grateful to learn how it was accomplished. Thanks again.

Jan, that did eliminate the error I was receiving however it still does not accurately show the group price in the dropdown. I think that I might abandon this mission just because I don't know enough to make it work and I know you have much more important endeavors to deal with. I don't want you to feel like it is a problem that you need to fix. I really appreciate you taking the time to work with me on this Jan and if you do have any other ideas to offer I will be more than willing to try them but otherwise I'll just have to try to tackle this when my skills develop a bit more. Thanks again for all of your effort.

Thanks Jan. I tried that code but received an error: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /homepages/28/d244355237/htdocs/temp/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 99 I looked at this file and at line 99 is the following function (line 99 is bold): function tep_db_fetch_array($db_query) { return mysql_fetch_array($db_query, MYSQL_ASSOC); } Any other suggestions? I've been trying to play with the code for the last few days and I must say that although I'm not getting anything to work I am learning a lot about PHP and what not to do... ;) Thanks again Jan.

That's the hard part... I have narrowed the code down to the following sections. The first is where, I believe, the information is being pulled from the db: $products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_price, p.products_model, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c " . $product_search . " order by pd.products_name"); $not_found = ((tep_db_num_rows($products_query)) ? false : true); } $category_array = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_SELECT_CATEGORY), array('id' => '0', 'text' => TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES)); This second bit is what is being displayed in the dropdown: if (($step > 1) && (!$not_found)) { $product_array = array(array('id' => 0, 'text' => TEXT_SELECT_PRODUCT)); while($products = tep_db_fetch_array($products_query)) { $product_array[] = array('id' => $products['products_id'], 'text' => $products['products_name'] . ' (' . $products['products_model'] . ')' . ': ' . $currencies->format($products['products_price'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value'])); } } Do you have any ideas as to what I could modify to show the correct price? I tried to modify it a bit but bad things happen when i do that :) Thanks

Hello, I have posted this on the Order Editor contribution forum but thought that some here in the SPPC forum might have a clue how to get this fixed... To make it more clear, when I add a product in the order editor the price defaults to retail regardless of the customer group. Is there a way to reflect the special pricing in this dropdown? It's important to mention that although the incorrect price shows in the dropdown when I add the product the correct price for the customer group is calculated in the order. Thanks again.

My question relates to Order Editor working along with SPPC. It seems to work fine except for when I try to add a product. The price next to the product in the dropdown is only reflecting the set "retail" price and not the SPPC price according to the customers group. Is there a workaround for this? If this has been mentioned elsewhere I apologize... perhaps a kick in the right direction? Thanks.

So apparently my problem solving skills went on vacation and didn't tell me before they left... The header tags code is already in the top of all-products.php and with STS turned on I get the redeclare error. When I remove the code from the top of all-products.php the page works perfectly with STS, header tags and all. Obviously, then, when I turn off STS (with the mentioned code still removed) the page will display but without the header tag information. So what am I missing? With the code removed somehow Header Tags SEO is still able to locate this page and apply the tags to it. This must be some function of STS right? I'm sure I must be thinking too hard into this... Thanks again.

I didn't add it again... but I did find the deathstar! I turned off STS and All Products works as expected. So this is an STS compatibility issue I guess. I hadn't even thought of that earlier. I did just recently alter the header tags code in the sts_inc folder to accommodate FWR's duplicate content manager contribution... perhaps this is the problem? Thanks again for your help Jack. The All Products SEO contribution really does look great!

I replaced the includes/header_tags.php file and nothing changed. It's only happening on that one page (all products) so I'm clueless as to where to look... I'll just have to dig around a bit. I appreciate you taking your time to help me Jack. Thanks.
