  1. please see the Support section of the manual "how to ask for help" if you are using one of my versions of EP.

     

    Dear Surfalot.

     

    In your Ep Manual for your current EP version I have read it in full including the install manual.

     

    Item 5 says to contact your host to find out what the maximum upload size for your php environment is and the length of time the script is allowed to run.

     

    I asked them and they referred me to this page.

     

    Here are the details but it is confusing as some items are similar in name and size so I wanted to know if you or someone on the forum could clarify so when I set up EP.php I could set them correct as suggested by your documentation.

     

    Here is what I have.

     

     

    magic_quotes_gpc On On

    magic_quotes_runtime Off Off

    magic_quotes_sybase Off Off

    mail.force_extra_parameters no value no value

    max_execution_time 45 45

    max_input_nesting_level 64 64

    max_input_time 60 60

    memory_limit 96M 96M

    open_basedir no value no value

    output_buffering no value no value

    output_handler no value no value

    post_max_size 32M 32M

    precision 6 6

    realpath_cache_size 16K 16K

    realpath_cache_ttl 120 120

    register_argc_argv Off Off

    register_globals Off Off

    register_long_arrays On On

    report_memleaks On On

    report_zend_debug On On

    safe_mode Off Off

    safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value

    safe_mode_gid Off Off

    safe_mode_include_dir no value no value

    sendmail_from no value no value

    sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

    serialize_precision 100 100

    short_open_tag On On

    SMTP localhost localhost

    smtp_port 25 25

    sql.safe_mode Off Off

    track_errors Off Off

    unserialize_callback_func no value no value

    upload_max_filesize 24M 24M

     

    As you can see here for me this is from my host.

     

    It says max_execution_time 45 but it also says max_input_time 60 So which is the answer to your question on length of time the script is allowed to run?

     

    It says post_max_size 32M but it also says upload_max_filesize 24M but I have a feeling we are going with the 24M with the Maximum allowed upload size for your php environment.

     

    I know Surfalot is busy and if anyone else can answer this great that saves him time to concentrate on other things I would greatly appreciate the clarification as my hosting site could not do so.

     

    If you see any other things that are strange in what I have posted that pertain to my setup of EP from Surfalot please advise as I will next be going through the full setup of EP.php from the manual and may have further question for clarification purposes and I do use the forum search but it does not alway render and answer that is either clear or specific to my direct question that allows me to proceed without caution.

     

    Thank you.

  2. The one problem I have found with this contribution which searching this thread for which I have not found a solution for is for instance when you update your payment sort order for say your 4 payments options it does not update the main screen view.

     

    You have to go back to configuration click edit then update and then go back to modules to payments then you can see the changes.

     

    Did I miss something in this thread that talked about this?

  3. For those attempting to setup Paypal Express in osCommerce 2.2 RC2a and can not find out where to get the three required API's needed here is the information to make it work directly from Paypal.

     

    My Paypal Express now works after following these steps from Paypal Developement Center.

     

     

    How do I generate an API Signature?

    You need to have a PayPal Business account. If you're testing with a Sandbox test account, repeat these steps for your Sandbox test accounts and your live accounts. We recommend having a pen and paper ready, and opening a separate web browser to perform these steps.

     

    Here's How:

     

    Click the My Account tab.

    Click Profile at the top of the page.

    Click the Request API credentials link in the Account Information column

    Click the Set up PayPal API credentials and permissions link.

    Click Request API Credentials link.

    Select API signature.

    Check the Agree and Submit button.

    Click Done.

    Write down your API username and API password information.

    Copy the signature and save it to a file or some other location. This is your API signature.

     

    Hope this helps you.

  4. I downloaded this contribution and installed it on osCommerce 2.2 RC2a I could not apply your patch as I could now matter what part of your search code I tried to find to locate the code in module.php I could not find it.

     

    So as for 2.2 RC2a everything seems to be working fine. I went from 22.14 second page load to 12.36 second page load.

     

    Now my next mission is shrinking down images and working on infobox calls for images to trans_pixels to cut down on HTML calls.

     

    Leon

     

    Found it... Looking in the wrong place.

     

    Do I need to clear the where the cache info was being stored or will this just prevent it from being foo barred in the future?

     

    Leon

  5. While fooling around i found that the modules.php could insert a row in the configurations table

    with an empty configuration_key, resulting in the cache function inserted;

     

    define('', '');

     

    Thus the cached config file got currupted and issuing an error both in catalog and admin.

     

    To handle this and to secure other contribs don't imply this error, please replace following line in admin/includes/configuration_cache.php;

     

    $configuration_query = tep_db_query('select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from ' . TABLE_CONFIGURATION);

     

     

    With;

     

    $configuration_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key != ''");

     

    The file to download is just a dummy textfile, containing this text. No more no less.

  6. Of course I'm bias, but my latest (surfalot v2.76g) is the most fixed and works with the RCx admin and register globals off.

     

    Surfalot. Your version of EP V 2.76g -- to clarify is 2.2 rc2a compatible and you can use it with either registered globals on or off? You can set registered globals on or off in the PHP files of 2.76g?

     

    That is all I need to know and I am off to coding. :rolleyes:

     

    Leon

  7. Of course I'm bias, but my latest (surfalot v2.76g) is the most fixed and works with the RCx admin and register globals off.

     

     

    Just a question.

     

    I have been away from osCommerce for a bit... Is RCa2 coded with Registered Globals off for PHP.ini as it was known to be a tentative security hole.

     

    For I know a lot of contributions are in the process of being converted to RCa2 and still require Register Globals to be on.

  8. Question.

     

    With so many revision of Easy Populate and it branches over the years some have continued to be developed and some have ceased.

     

    So I have osCommerce 2.2 RC2a.

     

    What version of Easy Populate should I be using.

     

    If someone could supply a link to the correct and the most stable release version or the exact name in the contribution section of osCommerce.com I would truely appreciate that.

     

    Thank you.

  9. Good Evening.

     

    What are the minimum required fields required for Easy Populate to function as every vendor I work with gives me different amounts of data.

     

    I can guess that Product ID, Price, Weight, Cost, Sku, Sales Tax long and short description and Available to be the basics to the function of EP. If I have the basics great if not please advise.

     

    What is the current basic version of EP that works with OsCommerce 2.2 MS 2. As EP has evolved it has been added to and allot of the extras I don't need.

     

    What is the link to the Easy Populate Support Forum or have I found it.

     

    Any help appreciated.

     

    Thank you.

  10. I installed SEO 2.2e with update and everything comes up fine in catalog and on admin.

     

    When I click on a default install product link I get this.

     

    The requested URL /microsoft-intellimouse-p-3.html was not found on this server.

     

    Apache/1.3.33 Server at http://d-65-175-186-112.metrocast.net/ Port 80

     

    I am using my ISP as the server and 127.0.0.1 as my database server.

     

    Every other link works fine.

     

    I have the .htaccess file in /Documents that is my root directory for the website.

     

    I tried / and /Documents and /Documents/ in .htaccess but that does not change the error message.

     

    Anyone figured out this issue.

     

    Probably something I do not have set in admin but I have yet to find it.

     

    Leon Sargent

  11. i have searched the contributions but I can not remember the name and the ones I found don't seem to fit what it is I am looking for.

     

    I remember when installed you would set you specials in admin when you went to the store there was a box, not an info box in the middle of the site that had specials pulled from the specials you set in admin. If you refreshed the stores webpage the specials would be replaces with a new set of specials from the list of specials you had defined in Admin there for if a customer came back the next day when the store loaded the specials would have changed. The specials changed every time the store.com/index page is refreshed.

     

    Anyone know the name or have a link to that file.

     

    Does it still exsist.

  12. In my Apache httpd.conf file I have this.

     

    I am using SEO.

     

    Will any of these directives cause the SEO contribution not to function?

    If so what do I need to change if you would please.

  13. I was going to use EPA as my data files have URL's to the images inside the file. It was recommended that I download the .zip image file instead of using URL's so okay I can go with that. So now that I don't need EPA for URLs do I use EPB?

     

    Now it looks like EPA and EPB, I am really not sure but I think this is what I read, can when importing a data file where lets say 4 items are no longer being sold by the vendor and have been removed in the data file they will be deleted on the import of the EPA or EPB file from my stores data base?

     

    Is this information correct?

  14. if using your windows system, you need to set the proper temp file path, else it doesnt work

     

     

    Mibble.

     

    I am not on a Windows System I am currently using OS X.

     

    I wonder this.

     

    My absolute path is this.

     

    G5/Library/WebServer/Documents/Catalog/temp

     

    or I have a temp folder in my my Documents directory as I do not use the catalog folder but I do have a /temp folder in there.

     

    My other temp directory is here.

     

    /G5/LIbrary/WebServer/Documents/temp/

     

    I have tried the following two paths and niether changes the problem that I am having.

     

    I have tried

     

    /G5/Library/WebServer/Documents/temp/

     

    and /Library/WEbServer/Documents/temp/

     

    And I still have the same problem.

     

    Can you give me any further information about how to set the path locally.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Leon

  15. Good Afternoon.

     

    I have taken a copy of my hosted website and downloaded the whole thing for use on my local machine. I was able to correct the configure.php in catalog and admin to connect to my local database and to set the server information to localhost.

     

    Everything works fine so far except this one problem.

     

    I created an EP file that I wanted to import into my local machines database. I choose the EP file then click insert into database and it comes back with this information.

     

    File uploaded.

    Temporary filename: /var/tmp/phpcckWxy

    User filename: EP2005.txt

    Size: 40825

     

    It does not show me the listed of files being uploaded as it did when I was remote it just comes back with the above information with no data added to the database.

     

    Could someone explain to me or help me correct the problem.

  16. For some reason if a customer has a voucher balance and tries to use it at check out the the little click circle to indicate the use of the voucher balance is missing so the customer can not use his or her voucher balance.

     

    Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

     

    Here is how I have my order total set up. I thought this might be the problem.

     

     

    Discount Coupons

    740

    ?

     

    Gift Vouchers

    9

    ?

     

    Low Order Fee

    ?

     

    Shipping

    2

    ?

     

    Sub-Total

    1

    ?

     

    Tax

    3

    ?

     

    Total

    900

    ?

     

    Any help appreciated.

  17.  

    You know looking at this code:

     

    // if the order contains only virtual products, forward the customer to the billing page as

    // a shipping address is not needed

    // ICW CREDIT CLASS GV AMENDE LINE BELOW

    // if ($order->content_type == 'virtual') {

    if (($order->content_type == 'virtual') || ($order->content_type == 'virtual_weight') ) {

    if (!tep_session_is_registered('shipping')) tep_session_register('shipping');

    $shipping = false;

    $sendto = false;

    tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL'));

    }

     

    ****** I noticed that the above code says that if all items in the cart are virtual then skip shipping and go to check out. This works great for virtual only items.

     

     

    $total_weight = $cart->show_weight();

    $total_count = $cart->count_contents();

     

     

    *************

     

    Here the code should read something like take cart minus out virtual or no weight items and then calculate shipping accordingly.

     

    Could this be the reason that when I add virtual items with real items all get charged a table rate for shipping but if the cart just has virtual items then there is no shipping and the page goes to checkout_payment

     

    Can anyone help me out with this?

     

    Strider?

     

    Leon Sargent

     

    By the way I use SMC's Table Rate and it works with virtual items just not with the mix of virtual and non virtual items. They it adds shipping to the whole cart.

  18. sargenle: try changing

    if ($order->content_type == 'virtual') {

     

    to

     

     if (($order->content_type == 'virtual') || ($order->content_type == 'virtual_weight') ) {

     

    Sorry it took me so long to get back to you this adjustment works partly.  If I have just virtual items in the cart than there is no shipping.  If I have virtual items and real items in the cart when I check out shipping is charged based on all items in the cart. I use SMC's table rate which only charges shipping when gift vouchers and real items are combined together.

    i have been reading from Page 80 to 100 and I still have not found an answer.  Thought I might post to you and see what you have to say.

  19. Good Morning.

     

    I am looking for a contribution like who's online enhanced but that tracks and saved daily,prefer monthly total of visitors whether they purchase or not. I would like it to track my ads as well. I was trying to us Adtracker but never got it working though I did use the format lhsmarkets.com/?ad=whatever and these type ad references are showing up in Who's online enhance so I know they are working.

     

    Anyone make a suggestion?

     

    Thank you.
