I am using 2.3.4.1 CE and PHP 7.0 My admin page was taking eternity to load this morning (mysite.com/admin) and when it finally would...there were database errors at the bottom of the screen. MySQL server has gone away. All was there except for the PayPal Live entry which shows my current balance. The public side of my site seemed to be loading fine. So, I come to this forum to discover that it is completely down. For hours. But, the moment it came back up...I had no more problems loading mysite.com/admin No more errors. No more waiting minutes for it to load. Is that a coincidence? How dependent is my site on external links to load and run properly? - Andrea

Hi Matt, Wish I had copied and pasted the errors I was getting. My error logs are showing things like: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=929743 And the query was beginning with r.reviews which is interesting, I guess, since I don't use reviews in the website. Maybe that's a red herring, I don't know. All I know is it all went away when the forums came back online. I like to see the Latest News module in Admin, so I'll probably leave those things alone. I was just trying to confirm that my loading issues were, after all, related to this forum being down. Thanks! - Andrea

After playing with it some more...I took the code from line 282 in create_account_process.php : require('includes/languages/' . $language . '/' . 'create_account.php'); And moved it down to above the section at the bottom of that file where the email is being defined, so it looks like this: require('includes/languages/' . $language . '/' . 'create_account.php'); $email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_PASS_1 . $password . EMAIL_PASS_2 . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT . EMAIL_WARNING; tep_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS); And now I have a wonderful Welcome email complete with a randomly generated password for the new customer that works! Why did I have to move it though? Like...I fixed it, but...I don't understand why I had to. Just trying to learn! - Andrea

I'm using 2.3.4.1 CE with PHP 7.0 I installed Order Editor first...had to clean up some of the DIR_WS stuff and whatnot, but it works fine. Then I installed Manual Order Maker and had to do some cleanup there, as well, but it works fine, in the respect that I can create a new customer account. It's the Welcome email it generates that is not playing nice. Looks like this: All of those defines are in the admin/includes/languages/english/create_account.php file but the email just will not pick them up. The language file is in the correct location. I changed the original line in admin/create_account_process.php: require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . 'create_account.php'); It now reads: require('includes/languages/' . $language . '/' . 'create_account.php'); But, no luck. The email is supposed to contain a random password for the new customer - and it does - but the email itself is a wreck. Any idea what it might be? Or is this maybe not compatible with my version of osCommerce? - Andrea

Is this an issue only affecting those who use Phoenix? I'm not having this problem on 2.3.4.1 CE and have been using PayPal Standard for years. - Andrea

@ce7 Yes, but...the issue we're all complaining about is that it does not work on the first page load. We're getting 'no matches' when first loading the website. Only if we click on something...anything at all...and then try to use search will it work. Please PM me with a link to your site. I want to see if it works on my first try after loading your homepage. As for the filter issue you're having...have you assigned the correct number in the module?

@ce7 Well, I just took what you said literally and swapped out the catalog/ext/ files in 1.8 with 1.7 and no change for me. It's still not working on the first page load. Would love to have a link to a site that does have it working. - Andrea

Can you clarify what that means? There are a lot of folders/files under that filepath you referenced. You began with version 1.8.....yes? - Andrea

@ArtcoInc and @Dan Cole It's a shame...this issue of not working on the initial pageload. Once I click around my site, it works perfectly on any and all pages. But, if buyers are going to see 'no matches' on their first try...assuming they're going straight for the search box when they enter the website...that's a killer. Out the door they'll go. It looks so nice and clean, too...I really wish I could use this! Damn! Guess I'll just keep checking the forum from time to time to see if anyone comes up with a remedy...you never know! Thanks, guys! - Andrea

Hi Dan - I installed this very cool contribution yesterday on my test site and I am experiencing the same as you mentioned above. What should I be looking for to troubleshoot the issue? What did it turn out to be in your case? I'm using the latest version of the contrib with 2.3.4.1 CE and lots of other mods to boot. Just don't know where to begin looking for suspects. Thanks for your time! - Andrea

Hello @JcMagpie This is one of the best contributions I have ever installed, been using it for months now. Question: Do I need to upgrade to your latest version or is that something related to Phoenix? I'm using this on 2.3.4.1 CE with no issues. And...your messages inbox is full. 😯

Hi @Jack_mcs Gosh, I would be the only person to ask a question here! I've been using this contribution for quite some time and my infobox displays perfectly. I like it so much I decided to duplicate the module and create a second infobox. I basically renamed everything in the first module with the number 2 at the end. The new box is working fine, but I'm puzzled as to why the duplicate module will not pick up all of the templates, like the original module does here: You'll see two new templates for dvds also being picked up by the first module. But, the second one...the duplicate module...will only pick up one: Fortunately, I'm able to plug in my own code inside that generic2 template to create what I want, so the new infobox looks just fine, even with only one template at my disposal. I'm just curious as to why it may not be picking up the other templates, like the original module does. If you're busy, don't worry about it. I just can't figure out why this is happening and thought I would ask. Thanks! - Andrea

Yep. I had not changed the call from verify_contact_us to verify_general in contact_us.php So excited to try the new HP I must have raced past that part. Sorry! - Andrea

Hello @Jack_mcs I have Honeypot set up to disallow URLs in the Contact Us form, and it seems to work on my end. If I try to send one, I get this: However, I am still getting emails thru Contact Us with urls inserted. The last one was just moments ago, lots of text in another language (Russian?) and it ends with this: Всю статью читайте здесь: http://www.xxxx.blo.com/2019/11/force.html I've edited the URL, so...not valid, but you get the idea. How is that possible? - Andrea

@Jack_mcs I don't know what you did, but THANK YOU! All works perfectly now, with captcha enabled, in both create account and contact us pages. You're one of the best contributors of all time in this forum - thank you for all of your hard work and for sharing it with the community! - Andrea

Hello, @Jack_mcs includes/modules/honeypot/honeypot_verify_contact_us.php Where is MODULE_HEADER_TAGS_HONEYPOT_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SECURITY_FAILURE defined? I can't find it. I suppose I'm also confused as to why it would say create_account instead of contact_us, too. The Contact Us page is not working for me with captcha turned on. It just reloads the page when I try to send the inquiry. Using 2.3.4.1 CE - Andrea

I installed this on my test site and it's working fine. Now trying to figure out what the difference is between the two sites. I'll post back when I figure it out. Didn't change any of the original Honeypot files, either. - Andrea

That got rid of the first error I posted, but still no account creation and getting this now: Notice: Undefined index: security_check in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/functions/honeypot.php on line 61 Thanks for your continued help! - Andrea

When I initially turned on the error reporting in create_account.php I had so many errors, I think they may have 'hidden' what I'm seeing today. I cleaned up all of my old errors and then took a shot at this again. I swapped out the entries in captcha.php - turned on the error reporting in create_account.php - and tried again. No account created, but I am seeing this onscreen: Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/functions/honeypot.php on line 58 Notice: Undefined index: security_check in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/functions/honeypot.php on line 60 Any ideas? - Andrea

No offense, but I don't understand what you mean. Try again after my previous session has expired? I don't know what you mean. - Andrea

I don't know. Seems like when you block one they just come again from another and it never ends. My IP Block list via cPanel is quite large already. And I always worry that I may end up inadvertently blocking legitimate buyers from accessing my site in the future. Guess it's a personal preference. I love what Honeypot Captcha is doing as it is. I wouldn't request what you're offering, but...that's just my two-cents. - Andrea

No, I didn't really know what to expect, so I posted the screenshot just to get your opinion. Thinking about my create account page...I have disabled the telephone number field as being a requirement. It's there, but...you can take it or leave it. I tried a new account with a phone number, and it still failed with captcha enabled. Guess I'm wondering if whatever I did to disable it may be in conflict with the captcha code. I'll take a closer look at that tomorrow. For what it's worth, I haven't gotten a single fake account since installing this around noon today. The spammers are definitely still trying...I'm getting loads of emails from the Log feature that say: 11-04-2019: Denied due to numbers in a name The attempts are obviously automated, as the IP addresses being used are generating these emails every 30 minutes like clockwork. I have the time set between create account attempts at 30 minutes. I may be perfectly fine without the captcha, but I will look at it some more tomorrow. Thanks for your great work, @Jack_mcs - Andrea

@ecartz Nope. Still not working. Same email as before. Thanks for the idea! - Andrea

I enabled the Honeypot setting in Log Tracker to Both, so I'm receiving emails when I try to create an account. First thing in the email is my IP address, followed by: 11-04-2019: Denied due to captcah Captcha is misspelled - could there be typos in the contribution causing a problem? - Andrea

GD Support is enabled. The captcha image is not missing in any web browser. And when I turned on the error reporting...what a mess! Lots of errors, but none related to Honeypot Captcha. Lots of deprecated constructor errors, stuff like that. Some of the contribs I'm using and whatnot. Does this look normal? From create_account.php - Andrea
