Hello, You might go into MySQLAdmin and check to see if the column products_price_1 exists in the products table. Did the contribution come with a .sql file? The other error I'm guessing might be unrelated to the database and a syntax error in the code. It would be good if you could post that line of code to try and help find the error. Regards, Tina

I agree with you, I do not feel the issue is with the core OSC rather with the interaction with Ikobo and the response we get back from them. Perhaps you might want to put a little disclaimer on your checkout_success page that if they have any problem with the download to contact you and you'll take care of things right away. That would likely help you from losing the goodwill. You know just as I was writing that, the thought occured to me, I wonder if those customers who do not get a download are even making it back to the checkout_process page? That is something you might want to ask someone who has had the problem. That's actually an issue that I have experienced from time to time with a completely different payment processor. Sorry for the long posts, its late and I'm getting tired and tend to write too much when I'm tired LOL keep in touch, Tina

Thank you Eangkarn, Any information is valuable. One thing, on the Ikobo page where you have the return URL's set up, do you have the declined or cancel returned to a different page or to your checkout_process.php? I know exactly what you mean about them not being very helpful. I've found you can get the information you need but it takes a whole bunch of persistance. They tend to only want to respond with the minimal amount of information and you just have to keep pressing them. Eventually they can turn out to be very helpful, but just like I said it takes some persistance. The issue shouldn't be that they support OSC, which is not really their responsibility. But what I think is their responsibility is to send back the correct codes success or failure. The new module that I am working on does not address this sort of issue, it enhances the data that is sent with the order, so that it just doesn't say "Store Name" but actually puts in the names of the products ordered. The site that I have worked with using Ikobo is not my own but a friends which I have done extensive work on. I actually cut my teeth with OSC with her site. She also sells downloadable products and one of the early enhancements I made was a utility for her to add downloads to her customers accounts. At the time I developed that, I didn't know I would end up becoming as involved with OSC as I have been. So I didn't write it in contribution style. Perhaps my next project will be to clean it up to that end so that I can release it. Please do keep in touch. I've asked the person who keeps track of orders for the site to keep me posted on Ikobo orders that come through, so I might see any patterns as well. Be well, Tina

Hello, I ran into that issue a couple of times while initially testing the module because I had submitted too many test transactions close together. However in production it has not been a problem at all. Have you noticed any sort of pattern to this or contacted Ikobo about it? I would certainly like more information on it because I have been working on some enhancements to the Ikobo module. Its hard for me to collect any data because ours is working. Do you happen to have IPN turned on or off? Be well Tina

Rich, You want to be very deliberate and follow the instructions exactly. This would be true of any contribution. And especially one like this that has several parts. So what you want to do is use an FTP program like Cuteftp that has an explorer type display. Do this so that you can compare your folders, the one on your server with the one on your hard drive. Ensure all the files are there. Any places that you need to change code manually, double check it. If possible comment out code that is being replaced. In other words dot all your I's and cross all your T's. Be well, Tina

It sounds like you made an error either in moving the files onto your server or in some code that you modified. I would either suggest restoring everything to its original, including removing the new files you put in. And then giving it another go. Or carefully back tracking your steps. I installed that module myself about a month ago and it does require some attention to make sure everything is where it should be. But I and the site's owner are very happy with the results. Be well, Tina

I've got it working now so that it displays an itemized list of the products ordered. I just need to do a little polish. Would you be interested in testing it? Tina

I have been working with a payment contribution for the past several weeks. The one that I used was very simple. I have made some significant improvements to it and I am wondering is the best policy to release my work to the existing contribution as version 2 or should it be submitted as a new contribution? Regards, Tina

So are you like concatinating a string together with the products ordered for that display? I saw some things that looked interesting in the contributions forum for Ikobo. They were not talking about item list specifically, but there might be some things there that are useful. I also thought I would take a look at how the stock shopping cart button is created from Ikobo. I'm determined to solve this dammit LOL. Probably spend some time working on it tomorrow. Be well, Tina

Hi, I took your original message to mean you were asking what amount of effort might be required to install a payment module (contribution) into osCommerce. So I responded that way. The person who responded after me, seemed to feel that what you were asking for was how to develop a module from scratch to work with an existing payment gateway that your customer already had in place. I thought I missed something and asked if there was indeed a payment gateway called "paymentgateway". Anyway all that aside. if your customer has "ABC-paymentgateway-company" then you would look for a Contribution for that gateway. If you are able to find one, then my first response to your about estimating effort is valid. If on the other hand, there is no contribution for the gateway your customer is using. And you need to develop one from scratch then I am not currently qualified to help you. Just trying to help and add some value :) Be well, Tina

YAY! :D

There is actually a gateway called "paymentgateway"?

Depending on the module in question, some are very straight forward others are a little more complex. I've set up a few different payment modules and found them to not be overly complex, although I may have just been lucky working with good contributions. The one I installed for Ikobo was actually the least complex on the surface however took me the longest to get it right because a few key pieces of documentation were missing and ended up figuring them out by trial and error. I would have to say that maybe 2 hours from installation to testing to production would be an average for me. But please keep in mind that's just my experience, you really need to take a look at the module you are going to install before you start making any promises As far as skills, its certainly going to be helpful to have at least a basic understanding of HTML and PHP. Regards, Tina

I installed this one a few weeks ago and we are very happy with the results. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ns,2524/page,15 Regards, Tina

I have some experience working with Authorize.net and for the most part the site's owner was happy with them. They have an online chat feature to help you in real time with support, I found that to be a good thing. We did not use osCommerce with that particular site, but I see a few choice on contributions here so there is probably one that works good. Another you might take a look at is e-online pay (plug n pay). I have used osCommerce with that site using the API module and it works great! The site owner is very happy with the payment module and over all with e-online in general. Be well Tina

Hello, I just installed this module on a friends site and I know exactly what you mean. I've watched it all the way through and have determined that what the module is does basically is create an on the fly payment button for Ikobo. As I am sure you are aware, normally what you do with Ikobo is go to your account on their site and enter in all your products, then you use that product code in the button on your site. This module however creates one on the fly and I assume the person who wrote it simply decided store name would be the best or easiest constant to plug in there. I've had an idea about looking into the possibility of utilizing the Ikobo IPN and sending an array of the products ordered. I just haven't had a chance to look into that very deeply yet, hopefully in a few days things will slow down so I can lol. Anyway currently as a work around we turned on the "send extra email to" setting. So she then gets the same email that her customer gets which has the products ordered on it. Another possibility but would only work if your customers generally only order one product at a time, capture that product name and send it in place of the store name. Be well, Tina

Hello, Can you attach a code sample of the payflowpro.php file? It appears for some reason the class is trying to instanciate twice. Have you done much modification to the other files in your cart? My guess is that you might have missed a step installing the module, it happens believe me lol or you might have created a typo somewhere if you needed to modify some code by hand. Regards, Tina

Its been a few months since I worked with Authorize.net, but I seem to recall that you don't have control over that particular page. I know what you mean that particular page is kind of ugly and it used to drive the site's owner crazy cause she is highly visually oriented. Regards, Tina

Milo, Have you configured Paypal to return to your checkout_processing.php page? That would be the first thing I would check. Also do a search on the forum here for Paypal, you might find the answer you are looking for. Regards, Tina

The next step would be to install one of the available Paypal payment modules. I haven't used Paypal per se' with osCommerce yet, so I can't recommend one, although I think I've notice that there is an IPN version which would most likely be the one you would want. Regards, Tina

Do you have an SSL certificate installed on the new site?

You will need to get yourself a merchant account first. They would then normally set you up with a payment gateway. Once you have that payment you would choose and load the module for the specific gateway. Be well, Tina

AIM or SIM, those are the methods I was looking for on another that had issues with Authorize.net. I've worked with them before, however it wasn't with osCommerce. In that particular case, we used the SIM method (that's the non-SSL method right?) because the shopping cart did not support AIM. Double check that the module you are using supports the method you choose to use. It may likely be that the module you have does not support both. I believe there are a few choices for Authorize.net modules. Hope that helps Tina

I just know from past experience how frustrating it can be at times LOL. I promise not to stress too much, but I will take a look. Please do let me know when you find the solution. Tina

Do you have a payment processor already set up? In other words, if you were not using osCommerce is there a way today that I could purchase products from your site? Start with your payment processor, that will answer most of your questions on how they process payments. Then choose a osCommerce payment module indentified to work with your processor. Hope that helps, Tina
