ok, I see that the defines are there after spending some time and experimenting with various things, I found the problem this may or may not be a php 5.x thing, but, I had to go thru the files for this contrib and change all <? to <?php once that was done, things started working

I have gone thru all of them and cannot find the defines for these variables thanks

BBedit will show you the diffs between files and allow you to update

yes I have there is no define for TEXT_EXCLUDE_FOR_UNREG or other TEXT_ variables in any of the readme files

I am getting these same errors have installed, reinstalled the mod multiple times osCommerce 2.2-MS2 PHP Version 5.1.6 Database: MySQL 5.0.26-standard TIA

to help narrow down where the error is occuring I added some echo statements and the error is being generated from the following code: catalog/articles.php <?php $articles_all_array = array(); $articles_all_query_raw = "select a.articles_id, a.articles_date_added, ad.articles_name, ad.articles_head_desc_tag, au.authors_id, au.authors_name, td.topics_id, td.topics_name from " . TABLE_ARTICLES . " a, " . TABLE_ARTICLES_TO_TOPICS . " a2t left join " . TABLE_TOPICS_DESCRIPTION . " td on a2t.topics_id = td.topics_id left join " . TABLE_AUTHORS . " au on a.authors_id = au.authors_id, " . TABLE_ARTICLES_DESCRIPTION . " ad where (a.articles_date_available IS NULL or to_days(a.articles_date_available) <= to_days(now())) and a.articles_id = a2t.articles_id and a.articles_status = '1' and a.articles_id = ad.articles_id and ad.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and td.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by a.articles_date_added desc, ad.articles_name"; 1054 - Unknown column 'a.authors_id' in 'on clause' select count(*) as total from articles a, articles_to_topics a2t left join topics_description td on a2t.topics_id = td.topics_id left join authors au on a.authors_id = au.authors_id, articles_description ad where (a.articles_date_available IS NULL or to_days(a.articles_date_available) <= to_days(now())) and a.articles_id = a2t.articles_id and a.articles_status = '1' and a.articles_id = ad.articles_id and ad.language_id = '1' and td.language_id = '1'

I used the patches in this thread and it fixed my problem with I click on NEW ARTICLES but... when I click on ALL ARTICLES, I am still getting the following error: 1054 - Unknown column 'a.authors_id' in 'on clause' select count(*) as total from articles a, articles_to_topics a2t left join topics_description td on a2t.topics_id = td.topics_id left join authors au on a.authors_id = au.authors_id, articles_description ad where (a.articles_date_available IS NULL or to_days(a.articles_date_available) <= to_days(now())) and a.articles_id = a2t.articles_id and a.articles_status = '1' and a.articles_id = ad.articles_id and ad.language_id = '1' and td.language_id = '1' [TEP STOP] all I know is that the problem is in articles.php anyone know the patch for this? TIA

From the Authorizenet website: ------------------ As part of our continual commitment to optimize the quality of the Payment Gateway and the Merchant Interface, Authorize.Net is proud to announce several new upcoming enhancements and features, including a new and improved gateway connection method. To allow for the implementation of these system enhancements, there will be a brief period of downtime during the hour of 12:00 - 1:00 AM PDT on October 30, 2002. First, we are pleased to announce the release of Simple Integration Method (SIM). SIM combines the increased security and robustness of Advanced Integration Method (AIM) (previously known as ADC Direct Response) with the programming ease of WebLink and Relay Response. The SIM Implementation Guide will be available in the Merchant Interface on October 30, 2002. SIM has been developed in part to accommodate for the eventual discontinuation of the WebLink and Relay Response connection methods. For more information about converting to a new connection method, please see the AIM/SIM Conversion Guide at http://www.authorize.net/files/conversionguide.pdf. -------------------- can someone help me when they release the new implementation guide to create a new Authorizenet module please TIA

Torin, still getting the same error - have you had any insights as to the cause? Rating and Service 1.0001 0 MODULE_SHIPPING_UPSXML_RATES_TEXT_COMM_UNKNOWN_ERROR : Rating and Service 1.0001 0 MODULE_SHIPPING_UPSXML_RATES_TEXT_COMM_UNKNOWN_ERROR

thank you for finally re-writing this beast the install seemed to go fairly smoothly, but now i am testing and when i get to the shipping page i am receiving the following error: Rating and Service 1.0001 0 MODULE_SHIPPING_UPSXML_RATES_TEXT_COMM_UNKNWON_ERROR : Rating and Service 1.0001 0 MODULE_SHIPPING_UPSXML_RATES_TEXT_COMM_UNKNWON_ERROR I do have a valid access key

read this thread before even considering.... http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtopic.php...=29949&start=20

your response was basically "well it doesnt fit my requirement so what good is it?" that certainly makes people that write contributions feel good about trying to help others and is the reason why many people don't write them any more it would be more useful to say, "well, your contribution adds something but is also missing a piece that i could use and is there a way to add that to the contribution?" i write mods when people ask for a solution, and this particular solution was what everyone wanted - to add a list of products ordered to the standard paypal email so if the customer did not complete the order process and return to the site, then at least they could see what the person ordered without having to hunt down the customer and ask them what they ordered - this was also part of the reason the paypal ipn contribution was written we get 100's of requests to do things, and we try to fulfill requests as we can i do not feel 'obligated' to do anything, i do what i do because i want to give to the OSC group, but you can't please everyone, and so we do what we do, and then try to fill in any blank spaces as they arise asking nicely works wonderful

and the purpose if to pass what is in the customers order to paypal so it appears on the payment notification email you receive its so nice to help people... :wink:

well, you can always ammend the attributes to the list passed by parsing that information also

i am pretty sure there is a contribution in the downloads section that does this or something very similar

the way i wrote the original modification is: function process_button() { global $order, $currencies, $currency; if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_CURRENCY == 'Selected Currency') { $my_currency = $currency; } else { $my_currency = substr(MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_CURRENCY, 5); } if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD'))) { $my_currency = 'USD'; } $xx = ''; for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($order->products); $i++) { $xx .= $order->products[$i]['qty'] . '-' . ($order->products[$i]['name']) . '**'; } $process_button_string = tep_draw_hidden_field('cmd', '_xclick') . tep_draw_hidden_field('business', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ID) . tep_draw_hidden_field('item_name', STORE_NAME . ' ' . $xx) .tep_draw_hidden_field('amount', number_format(($order->info['total'] - $order->info['shipping_cost']) * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) . tep_draw_hidden_field('shipping', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'] * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) . tep_draw_hidden_field('currency_code', $my_currency) . tep_draw_hidden_field('return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL')) . tep_draw_hidden_field('cancel_return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL')); return $process_button_string; } this works with the standard paypal module but will not work with paypal ipn as the structure of the data that gets passed is different the $xx variable is used to parse the order and collect the information and then pass it to the paypal module so that when you receive a payment notification you will receive a list of the product(s) ordered in case the customer does not complete the paypal process and return to your site (so no invoice is generated by OSC) here is the original thread: http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtopic.php...ighlight=paypal

you may have had the blank line in the SID contribution - that is normally the cause of that particular error msg and tracking it down can be daunting since it can be in any file in the stream of files being called up to the point where the error is finally flagged glad to hear that you have it working i would go thru the installation process for the SID killer - there is a SID killer built into the current version of OSC

check at the end of each file for a blank space of line following the last ?> and delete it catalogincludesclassesemail.php catalogincludesfunctionsgeneral.php

Paul!! where have you been - have been trying to reach you - contact me please - thanks! :wink:

in the new snapshots/cvs version leading up to MS2, there have been multiple changes on the admin side, one of which is the way payment modules are installed by the admin panel - there is now an 'install' button for loading the modules.... :wink:

i suppose you could do what you are talking about with the hidden products i am not familiar with the other contribution so i really couldnt speak about whether that would work or not, but one of the beauties of this cart if that since it is open source,you can modify awy to your hearts delight you should check out some of Linda's contributions as she is always doing things like that, and her SEC contribution has some of those types of features in it, but you have to use a specific CVS version with the impending release of MS2 I have a feeling she has been locked away working on an MS2 version....

it allows you to hide a product (or products), and in the admin you can go into user accounts and give them the ability to see the product we use it to offer special deals to various companies. we have people create an account, then email us their account email, go in and activate the hidden product function on their account, and thats it - then they can see the hidden products :wink:

Ian, you know where to find a group ready to test :wink: :lol:

Gary there are 2 or 3 major threads regarding SEC in this Contributions forum/thread that I would recommend you read so you can get yourself up to speed on what will and what will not work (SEC and MS1 will not work)
