Well for anyone else wondering, I installed version 5.2.2 and it works great! Thanks for the contribution : )

I have a question for anyone who might know. I have a store running osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a and using USPS Methods version 3.0, which is not calculating for international shipping and gives all kinds of funny characters for domestic shipping. I can see there have been a lot of upgraded packages for this contribution. Which one should I use?

ok I installed the last full version and it says There is nothing on that page that says "configuration variables." So, where exactly do I read these instructions?

Hello and Happy New Year! I need to install easy populate on a site today or tomorrow at the latest. Which is the package I should download and why are there so many weird files in the list? The last one simply states "Easy Populate 30 Sep 2010 I'm not sure" --- lol. Thanks for any advice. Peace~

Right, I'm not arguing with you, but am just wondering how to get the admin infobox contribution to integrate with STS so both are there.

I spent a while installing this and I can create products called gift certificates but there is no way to customize anything. Where are the settings? Do I just make attributes for price and "to email or not to email"? There are no instructions. Has anybody else had any luck with this?

Well so that it's controllable via the admin panel - for people who shouldn't be messing with templates.

Is there any way to integrate admin infobox with STS - what I want is that if certain boxes are chose they show up - the others do not - and the ones showing up use the infobox template from the STS directory.

I am working on a store like that. It processes using authorize.net and the orders actually DO go through but as order 0 --- all of them. The store used to work correctly. Anyway, the orders 0 do not show up in admin. I think you might have an autoincrement problem in the database or something is wrong with the code. Check your orders table and orders_products and see if anything is in there. I think those are the right names. Either way, you're going to have to do some testing and debugging. I might be able to take a look if you want.

Actually I typed that wrong. It's showing the name of the page (not the title or the category name, which is what I want) so I get Index - Store Name Should I double check my categories file or do you have any idea why it's not pulling the right title? It seems to be going into the database when I edit the category and put stuff into the boxes. I really don't want to check the entire install again - the site is so modified starting with the template she bought - it was hard enough to get it installed the first time. lol Thanks for any help : )

I tried that, and I did the fill tag for just the one category and it's still showing generic "page title - store name" Am I missing something in a file? If so, which file should I look at. I can go over the installation instructions again. Thanks : )

Also, I have a slight other problem. When I go to use Fill Tags in firefox 3, the browser starts loading after I click to begin, and then it starts to download the file instead of refreshing, and it opens up other windows, so yesterday I started and went to take a break and had 124 windows open. I've seen this happen before with firefox on other sites, but usually once I reboot or just close the program, the problem goes away. This happens every time. Is there anything I can do to fix it? If not I'll use another browser.

No actually I just copied over the catalog folder, and my ftp sorts it all out to the proper directories. I just checked and there is no header_tags_seo.php in the root directory. So maybe it's looking for something listed in a file somewhere? I don't know. Everything seems to be working ok. Anyway I'm having another problem. My clients wants unique tags for certain categories & products. I have gone into a category in admin, and entered asdf for the title, desc & keywords, and it IS pulling that info into the database, but the page still shows "page name - store name" How would I go about changing one category/product page at a time? I don't want to fill them again or erase all of them - I want the others to do the default as they are set to do. Am I supposed to go to Categories > Edit Category ?

I should have stated this better. /home/ is just short for /home/site/blah/blah/balh/public_html/ so what it's really looking for is header_tags_seo.php header_tags_fill_tags.php includes/header_tags_seo_words.txt includes/boxes/header_tags_seo.php includes/languages/english/header_tags_seo.php I don't even see any root files in the "catalog" directory. These files do exist, but in other directories, where they are supposed to. I'm not sure if this is even an error because it looks like it's installed properly. I will try to run fill tags and see what happens.

I just ran the test and I got a Missing File message: Cannot find file /html/header_tags_seo.php. Cannot find file /html/header_tags_fill_tags.php. Cannot find file /html/includes/header_tags_seo_words.txt. Cannot find file /html/includes/boxes/header_tags_seo.php. Cannot find file /html/includes/languages/english/header_tags_seo.php. I don't see these in the "catalog" folder. I don't have a new shop. Where do I get these files --- did I do something wrong?

ok I understand. Thanks so much for your quick reply. Actually I searched the site over and over for a reference, but it was actually a blank file on the server. *Delete* :)

I have just installed the latest version of Header Tags SEO and for this store, it was SO heavily modified that I had to skip a few steps - such as showing the category description and all that and editing breadcrumbs, because they have deleted all the category name, desc & image and have custom breadcrumbs. BUT I dont think that make a whole lot of difference. Anyway the install went fine but when I went into admin (http://www.site.com/admin/header_tags_seo.php?selected_box=headertags) I see a message twice: Failed to open file: /home/site/html/home_group.php Failed to open file: /home/site/html/home_group.php I can't find a single reference to this file and I don't have it anywhere, so of course it can't find it. Any idea what this might be? Did I do something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. ~Kira ps - I did do a search in this thread for "home_group.php" and got no results. Thanks!

Yes I know 223 = US. Either I or the previous developer did that. I've already commented it out but had to put it back in. What happened was last year she had all the country stuff removed (she wanted only a US store) then people couldn't check out because it kept saying there was a country error (Please select your country-- or whatever). So I commented out a bunch of stuff (not the 223) when I started work on the site a few months ago. Then a week ago she decided she wants international payment/shipping and I tried to put all the country stuff and foreign city dropdowns back but it was already broken and hacked by someone else and hacked by me too! So we ended up with errors and blank pages and no paypal etc etc. so 223 is back in biz... lol :) anyway... So you are saying that this IS the right contribution and I can just check files / reinstall? That's what I was hoping so that I could iron this out. This would be great. Please let me know. Thanks!

Sorry. I might have put in the code I grabbed somewhere as an effort for quick fix. Here is the code that was there before. $country="223"; if ($process == true) { if ($entry_state_has_zones == true) { $zones_array = array(); $zones_query = tep_db_query("select zone_name from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_country_id = '" . (int)$country . "' order by zone_name"); while ($zones_values = tep_db_fetch_array($zones_query)) { $zones_array[] = array('id' => $zones_values['zone_name'], 'text' => $zones_values['zone_name']); } echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array); } else { echo tep_draw_input_field('state'); echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array); } } else { echo tep_draw_input_field('state'); echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array); }

Hello All, I believe my client is using a version of the country/state selector, but it's been hacked. It only showed US states and no country, and everyone was forced to be US-based only. Now she wants international sales/shipping so this is a major problem. I have no idea what version she had (there are no comments in the files regarding this mod) and it's been hacked anyway. I just want to re-install it or compare code to get it working normally. I see there are a ton of little upgrades and text files and whatnot. Is there a full version including everything to date? Here is the basic code I'm using on the pages for now, which doesn't show a blank field for zones with no states, and it requires you to select the country first, click submit, then the states show up. Otherwise all states show up, but, for example, if I go into the address book to edit an address and I change the country (let's say to Switzerland), click, then the Swiss "states" show up (probably cities) but the country changes itself to something else! so I have to reset it to Switzerland before clicking or it's all wrong. argh. anyway here's my quick fix - could use some pointers please: if ($process == true) { if ($entry_state_has_zones == true) { $zones_array = array(); $zones_array = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT)); $zones_query = tep_db_query("select zone_name from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_country_id = '" . (int)$country . "' order by zone_name"); while ($zones_values = tep_db_fetch_array($zones_query)) { $zones_array[] = array('id' => $zones_values['zone_name'], 'text' => $zones_values['zone_name']); } echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array); } else { $zones_array = array(); $zones_array = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT)); $zones_query = tep_db_query("select zone_name from " . TABLE_ZONES . " order by zone_name"); while ($zones_values = tep_db_fetch_array($zones_query)) { $zones_array[] = array('id' => $zones_values['zone_name'], 'text' => $zones_values['zone_name']); } echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array); } } else { $zones_array = array(); $zones_array = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT)); $zones_query = tep_db_query("select zone_name from " . TABLE_ZONES . " order by zone_name"); while ($zones_values = tep_db_fetch_array($zones_query)) { $zones_array[] = array('id' => $zones_values['zone_name'], 'text' => $zones_values['zone_name']); } echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array); } Upon reviewing this I think the 3rd else should be the field. But I want any comments you might have. This is aggravating me but I'm willing to do a reinstall if it will make things nicer.

Thank you. Yes I went to your site yesterday but didn't see any group downloads - only single. Also was trying to test out on a free one so I didn't get charged. I wasn't even going to download just wanted to see if the links appeared, etc. Is there a particular product I can try out to see it in action? Edit: Also I understand if they buy more than one download product, they would get the links for each one, but we have groups where someone buys a series (instead of just one episode) and we need ALL links to be available. The reason why is even if we zipped all the episodes together, some would be like 3gb and time out so we have to have separate files that apply to one product purchase.

lol at least you are honest - there's always a ) missing (or is it a } ???) but that doesn't matter if it works right. I am seriously hoping my client wants to uninstall the super download shop - it's a fabulous idea and IF you can manage to get parts of it working it's pretty cool but honestly it has SO many problems and not much support I'm just sick of it. I hope I can try your contribution soon. I definitely will with the next shop I work on. Cheers~

I tried to create a cron job to change all orders that should already be downloadable to being downloadable but it didn't update them. It did update their status in the database but links did still not show up. I don't have time for all the coding necessary for that and wonder if a sample script can be included in the next version of this - also with the sort order and other stuff that seems to be missing.

I have installed this contribution and it was working FINE for check/mo because the default was "pending" and when I changed the status to "download available" then the link(s) appeared. What we have found out is that cc orders were set to "pending" and we didn't want to have to change them manually, as the link should be available immediately. So, I set the default order ID (in authorize.net aim module) to a new status, ID 13, "Credit Card Payment." After a customer made an order, it still showed the error text "Download not available until payment is confirmed." So I set it to download available and we are still having problems. I see that there is a screen in the admin panel to TELL the store to allow downloads for various statuses, even pending, if you want it to. They were all set to allow downloads no matter what, yet they do not. The config screen shows downloads available at ID 10 and reset at ID 12 (the default settings I believe). Why are we still having problems? Any ideas? Need this to work for paying customers. Edit: I had also added another status "shipped" in for the client and now many orders show as shipped on the main screen, yet "pending" on the order screen in admin. I have now deleted both shipped and delivered and see if that will help that issue at least. I don't see how it should show two things, there is only one order_status table! These are new orders too, not old ones that would have been affected by changing delivered to shipped as ID3 and adding an ID4 for delivered. (All the old orders were test orders, but now we are getting real ones so it's important to get this functional asap.) Thanks for any help or ideas about fixing this problem. I can post code if you need it. Maybe we can help others with the same issues in the future.

Does this allow group downloads? (Like if someone buys a set of downloads, it will show them all)? We are currently using super download shop and having a lot of problems with it.
