greasemonkey

Everything good. Business has been huge the past 12 months so I haven't had time to play with osC. Hope you are well.

Everything seems to be working perfectly. The issue of No Connection during setup from Ship Station was due to little (stupid) setting within the OSCommerce. My cookies were being forced and this was blocking the connection from SS as SS was not able to use cookies when accessing the site. As soon as this option was turned off from within the OSC the installation from Ship Station was a success. I still had couple other issues due to too long strings that were in my database (payment string) as well as (shipping method string). I had to change those as well as make sure that the new orders would also meet the string length requirements. So far everything is working great. I really appreciate GreaseMonkey helping me look into his contribution and also Special thanks to George from Mini Template System contribution who jumped in and help me find the issue. 
 
 

And make sure you click save!

Thanks for your help

@LeeFoster 👍👍 I sent you a test msg

I've developed a neat little header tag module that drops a Facebook messenger chat box into your site - so much easier than trying to get one of the live chat addons to work and its free.
Connects to your Facebook (business) Page simply.
I've tried it on EDGE and PHOENIX and it works perfectly (I'm sure it will work on any version... but haven't tested it).
Configurable to have the chat box open on load or not (showing the Facebook Messenger Icon only).
The only thing you need is your Facebook Page ID which can be found with following instructions:
To find your Page ID:
From News Feed, click Pages in the left side menu. Click your Page name to go to your Page. Click About in the left column. If you don't see About in the left column, click See More Scroll down to find your Page ID below More Info. Quick Edit - some need to whitelist their domains within their Facebook page:
Click Settings at the top of your Page Click Messenger Platform on the left Edit whitelisted domains for your page in the Whitelisted Domains section Screencap attached

Hi, you are entirely correct, well spotted and that is odd!  When using the code tags in this forum, if you edit the content of a code tag after setting it (which I did a few times), it translates the & into &.  Annoying!!
Correct code below, unfortunately the forum isn't allowing me to edit my posts any longer.
ANYONE READING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME USE THE INSTRUCTIONS AND CODE BELOW AND NOT THE CODE ABOVE
First of all in your store admin, make sure Telephone Number and Seamless Checkout is unticked, then save the settings. 
Note: Possible ongoing problems.  Seamless checkout previously allowed users who have logged in via "Log In with PayPal" to continue to make payment without logging in again.  As PayPal has removed Seamless as a scope item I'm not sure if customers will have to login again to PayPal once they get to payment method selection or click a Checkout with PayPal button.  The new connect/api.js may compensate for this automatically but I haven't tested that far yet so cannot comment either way.

For 2.2 it is the same.

$bad_companies = array('google', 'apple'); if (in_array(strtolower($company), $bad_companies)) {   $error = true; } You can add more company names into the $bad_companies array.

Should work with any version of https://apps.oscommerce.com/m2hDP&amp;rma-returns-system-for-osc2-3-4bs
Just drop in files, navigate to admin -> modules -> dashboard then + Install Modules in the top right corner and install the Returns Modules.
Installs a dashboard module displaying a list of the 6 most recently modified returns on admin/index.php.

I agree - Finalize 2.3 Community Version as it stands now. It is workable and for those who want to stick with older addons it should work.
The rest of us should focus energy on 2.4 ....  That's to say  2.4 Community Edition because I do not think any official will ... blah blah blah .....
 

Some people wear shorts year round up here too...

I think our dogs are a bit smarter though...

@John W 50's...cold....seriously...what do you know about cold?  In Edmonton yesterday it was colder then at both the North and South poles.  Now that's cold.

Sorry yes that was a typo from my phone... try tep_db_fetch_array

Hey guys, enjoying this discussion.... 
Just wanted to point out, if you think it's relevant to OsC, Amazon (the largest ecom retailer in the world by far) doesn't use one page checkout. 
4 super simple clean steps

@@John W no question - Express. All the issues of days gone by seem to be fixed, with Express Enabled you can 1) you can take advantage of PayPal Checkout, 2)
you can take advantage of Login with PayPal and 3) if required, you can now use PayPal Pro.
 
You can refer to this link for more details on how I have it set up; http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/410909-paypal-app-and-234bs-gold/?p=1755266
 
Note: if you need to use a Discount Module this one works with Express.... http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/9460

Steve @@altoid I'll try to fork and update via pull request your repository, so it should be easier for all to test. Give me a couple of days.
 
Scott @@greasemonkey, if you wish to give it a try now, please go ahead.
 
 
 
 
What should be tested:
Complete checkout with different product combinations and stock settings.
Redirects from checkout pages if cno stock and checkout not allowed
Downloadable products
Check stock quantities updates when an order is done.
...................whatever you can imagine.
 
There are heavy changes for all the checkout, so hardcore tests required o:) :- :thumbsup:
 
Thanks and best regards
Rainer

@@raiwa Hi Rainer, I'm going to start testing this shortly.
 
Scott

@@piernas well done... and over due.
 
Of course it comes just days after I updated my install... removing all the constants for EDGE.

Ok.... I get (got it) it.....
