Classic case of darned if you do and darned if you don't ;) Agree that it's best to leave "DA" and "DE" out. Was thinking though, I actually know of a person who's last name is Ix - so the roman numeral change will now convert that. I'll probably edit my file to catch the common roman numerals used in a name (II, III and IV) and drop the others as I don't think I've seen any personal names using any of the other (might be some business names, but not that critical for my purpose). You keep up the good work and I'll keep troubleshooting.....

Another problem - Any input that starts with "de" gets modified. Example if input is "dependable" the name becomes "DePendable". Input is Denton become DeNton :o

Nice feature update with the new version. However one of the previous "features" is now broken. If user puts in John Doe Iv. Prior Version: John Doe IV New version: John Doe Iv Once again thanks for your efforts on this function build out!

Totally understand about need to clean up user input fields. I took a simpler approach that was about 95% effective for my purposes - your function closed the gap. New install update looks good and hopefully will make it easier for others to use your personal "hack" to add a feature that should be standard with OSCommerce. Happy Holidays!

Thanks Top_Speed for putting together this contribution. I had worked on changes to my name and address fields, this one goes beyond the simpler approach I was taking :) I noticed that your install instructions don't include an update to "Checkout_Payment_Address.php", this is the module that is called when a user wants to enter a new billing address during checkout. Also, a suggestion to make the install easier and quicker. Instead of this all the find and replaces you've listed in the install, it's just as effective to keep the current input for the variables "as is" and then use the RemoveShouting to clean-up the input. As an example, I didn't change my input for firstname from "$firstname = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['firstname']);", just left as is. However I then put in code that hits all the input variables all at once. In the Checkout_Payment_Address.php I put in right after $state = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['state']); } // Added 11/21/07 to clean-up input $firstname = RemoveShouting($firstname); $lastname = RemoveShouting($lastname); $street_address = RemoveShouting($street_address); $city = RemoveShouting($city); $state = strtoupper($state); $company = RemoveShouting($company); // End This allows me to paste this in every module (removing variables not needed) making it a much quicker to install ;) Thanks again!

All that sounds great, but not sure I understand why all the bells and whistles on this. Found this contribution which takes a much simpler approach - used the "Notified Customer" flag when set to false to hide the comments. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...stomer+notified

This may not have all the bells and whistles of some other "discount" modules, but this was the one that I found easy to install and works just as I need it. Sounds like it would suit your needs very well too. Look for SaleMaker http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ll/search,maker

The "default" status for order placed through Google Checkout is to set first to "Pending" and then to "Processing". For me, I'd like to keep the order set to "Pending" as I manually change to "Processing" once I actually start processing the order (not simply received payment). Can this be done?

I had same module as you did previously - I have to say after putting 1.4 GC in that's a SIGNIFICANT improvement over the old L1 GC method. All orders are stored, customer information actually saved as a new account. You can then print invoices from OSC. I've had it installed for several weeks, looks like everything is working smoothly. Just be sure to prepare first and read this board for little support items. The original install did not go 100%, but I found several helps in this thread and it's all working 100%. Nice to also be able to add tracking information and have the GC order automatically updated and archived. It's worth the time to install.

Any update on when 1.4.1 is going to be released?

Not sure I follow what you mean by "access to every configuration group". I've installed the code (great instructions). But when I select "Total Configuration" from my Admin Tools all I get is a list of all the options and settings using "Show All" there is no way to "access" them, which I would think would mean I could select one of the options and be able to modify the setting. If I select just one group then I'm able to edit the options. Should you be able to edit the options under "Show All" or not? Also noticed that the "Show All" doesn't fit the screen, but when you select by individual group it is properly framed. As a future consideration, it would be nice to be able to sort by either ID or Key (right now it defaults to only sort on Key). Nice work.

IGNORE - was to have been posted as reply in another thread. Unfortunatley no way to delete or edit. :(

After installing v1.8 I find that the "URL" description (shown when I mouse over the URL link) now is SEF, but when I click the link what is shown in the "address" bar in my browser is the old style url. As an example, when I mouse over here's the URL display (did a copy of the shortcut): http://www.yourwebhere.us/catalog/en/drives/toshiba When I click the link I get this shown in the address bar: http://www.yourwebhere.us/catalog/index.php?cPath=1_7 I did a scan through the support forum but didn't see this mentioned as to the cause (with hundreds of message I may have overlooked it). Thanks

In step 6 of the v1.8 contribution it says: Step #6 - In In /admin/includes/functions/general.php Before code } (around line 956) add this code @unlink(DIR_FS_CACHE . 'url.cache'); Note: This should be the at the end of the tep_reset_cache_block function I'm confused at exactly what "code }" refers to. I have a modified general.php so my line 956 won't align with the instructions and just referring to "}" doesn't give enough insight as to where I'm supposed to put the code "@unlink(DIR_FS_CACHE . 'url.cache');" Everything else went fine, just want to know where to put this last bit of code. Would appreciate any assistance. Thanks
