Thanks...I worked it out. Just wondering if there was a different way to test for permissions on the files this contrib uses instead of comparing them to other files that may or may not have the permissions outlined in the install instructions. Or, I guess...it could be noted there that the error messages are tied to the image directory. Again thanks for the contrib. The new version works great :thumbsup: Sheri

Hi Jack, I just updated from 2.5.6 to 2.6.2 All went smoothly and everything seems to work as intended. Only one issue. The error messages at the top of header_tags_controller.php were appearing despite the permissions being set properly. Files were written as intended even though the error messages were there. I opened up the file to have a look and saw that the permissions of the two files are being determined "correct" if they match the permissions set on the images folder. Mine didn't! I just uploaded the site to a new server and the permissions for the image folder was auto-set to 755. Is there another way to test for permission value? Thanks for continuing to work on this contrib. Best, Sheri

Hi everyone, I am once again working on an article manager addition. The last one was HERE. All the code and fixes are within that thread--it adds another date option to indicate when the article was written as opposed to the date it was added or the date it is available. My next mod involves showing a random article on the index page, default section (but could be placed anywhere really). I wrote the mod myself, but could not get it to behave properly..so I re-wrote this CONTRIB to work with the article table rather than the product table. Problem: this behaves exactly the same way my hand coded mod does What happens: The article is randomly chosen and displayed BUT the description or short description does not get displayed each and everytime the page is loaded. The name, and link work fine...just an empty description. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. I cannot see what the problem is. Anyone else? <?php //SET THE QUERYS $sql_query = tep_db_query("select distinct a.articles_id, ad.articles_name, ad.articles_description from " . TABLE_ARTICLES_DESCRIPTION . " ad left join " . TABLE_ARTICLES . " a on a.articles_id = ad.articles_id where a.articles_status = '1' and a.articles_protected = '1' order by rand() limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_RANDOM_ARTICLES); $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_ARTICLES)); new contentBoxHeading($info_box_contents); $info_box_contents = array(); $row = 0; $col = 0; $info_box_contents = array(); while ($new_articles = tep_db_fetch_array($sql_query)) { $new_articles['articles_name'] = tep_get_articles_name($new_articles['articles_id']); $info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center', 'params' => 'class="smallText" width="33%" valign="top"', 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLE_INFO, 'articles_id=' . $new_articles['articles_id']) . '">' . $new_articles['articles_name'] . '</a><br>'.$new_articles['articles_description'] ); $col ++; if ($col > 2) { $col = 0; $row ++; } } new contentBox($info_box_contents); ?> Any help appreciated. :) Sheri PS - I have article manager 1.2 installed. I don't want to update the version as it is working just fine.

FOUND IT and the modification to allow a written date of ANY time is complete. B) Here is the new code (found at about line 240) if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['aID'])) $articles_id = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_GET_VARS['aID']); $articles_date_available = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['articles_date_available']); $articles_date_written = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['articles_date_written']); $articles_date_available = (date('Y-m-d') < $articles_date_available) ? $articles_date_available : 'null'; $articles_date_written = ($articles_date_written) ? $articles_date_written : 'null'; removed the condition that required the written date to be greater than todays date and now all works as planned. For those of you following along as I talked to myself...No I am NOT crazy!LOL

Alrighty then..progress is happening. (BTW, anyone is welcome to step in and comment at *any* time) The only trial I did not make was that of date_written as a date in the future. Well, I did and PRESTO! The date was accepted and entered into the database. This is most definately NOT what I want as the articles I am hoping to publish could have any date from today to years ago, to the future date I want to publish the article. I'm off to look at the code in depth to find that tricky little greater than sign :-"

Another update: On the default page this code displays the dates: $contents[] = array('align' => 'center', 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES, 'tPath=' . $tPath . '&aID=' . $aInfo->articles_id . '&action=new_article') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_edit.gif', IMAGE_EDIT) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES, 'tPath=' . $tPath . '&aID=' . $aInfo->articles_id . '&action=delete_article') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_delete.gif', IMAGE_DELETE) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES, 'tPath=' . $tPath . '&aID=' . $aInfo->articles_id . '&action=move_article') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_move.gif', IMAGE_MOVE) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES, 'tPath=' . $tPath . '&aID=' . $aInfo->articles_id . '&action=copy_to') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_copy_to.gif', IMAGE_COPY_TO) . '</a>'); $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_DATE_ADDED . ' ' . tep_date_short($aInfo->articles_date_added)); if (tep_not_null($aInfo->articles_last_modified)) $contents[] = array('text' => TEXT_LAST_MODIFIED . ' ' . tep_date_short($aInfo->articles_last_modified)); if (date('Y-m-d') < $aInfo->articles_date_available) $contents[] = array('text' => TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE . ' ' . tep_date_short($aInfo->articles_date_available)); if (isset($aInfo->articles_date_written)) $contents[] = array('text' => TEXT_DATE_WRITTEN . ' ' . tep_date_short($aInfo->articles_date_written)); $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_ARTICLES_AVERAGE_RATING . ' ' . number_format($aInfo->average_rating, 2) . '%'); I previously had the date_written identical to the date_available. I have changed it here and it does not get printed. Removing the isset condition allows the text to be written..but again...no date. ARRGH!!!!!!

Update: I inserted a debugging script and it has confirmed that the spiffy cal is working as intended. The variable 'articles_date_written' is being 'POST'ed to the preview screen. But when I submit the form...be it update or insert, the date written is not transferred to the database. :unsure: Is there a debugging script that can show me what happened when the info was "inserted" into mysql? One more thing. I amended the script within the form like so: <?php if (isset($aInfo->articles_date_written)) { ?> <tr> <td align="center" class="smallText"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_ARTICLE_DATE_WRITTEN, tep_date_long($aInfo->articles_date_written)); ?></td> </tr> <?php } ?> The TEXT_ARTICLE_DATE_WRITTEN is visable on the preview screen but the tep_date_long is not. There is no date whatsoever.

I have article manager 1.2 installed. I have coded in another date option to the admin file: articles.php. The date is not being entered into the articles table in mysql when the date is chosen from admin. I have gone over the new file at least 2 dozen times. Could someone take a look at the new code and hopefully see where I have gone wrong? Pretty Pretty Please? o:) The new code in question centers around the "articles_date_written" addition. I have added code to mimic "articles_date_available". There are other customizations within the file, but none of those are effecting the "new date feature".

There is nothing you can do about this. Flash and Quicktime movies sit on top of everything. Adding z-index will not work. This is THE ONLY solution I have found: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ It also tackles the IE issue for flash. Good luck, Sheri

OK. so I figured out the problem (it was staring me in the face :blush: ) HOW in the world can I attach a value to the variable when that value doesn't yet exist? Doh! I can't give $config_cache_file the value of a configuration value that I haven't yet queried! Doh! Sheri

Update on this. It DID in fact create the cache file but called it: CONFIG_CACHE_DIR and placed it in the admin directory. HMMMM!?

Hi eww, admin/includes/configuration_cache_read.php $config_cache_file = '/home/YOUR USER NAME/cache/config_cache.php'; $config_cache_compress = 'false'; $config_cache_compression_level = 1; catalog/includes/configuration_cache_read.php $config_cache_file = '/home/YOUR USER NAME/cache/config_cache.php'; Let me know if I can help more. I have had this working on a couple of projects so far. Sheri

Hi everyone, I am trying to rebuild the admin side of this contribution. It seems it was abandoned with version1.3. I am trying to make all contributions accessible through admin for a client. This is what I have done: Ran sql statements such as: INSERT INTO `configuration` ( `configuration_id` , `configuration_title` , `configuration_key` , `configuration_value` , `configuration_description` , `configuration_group_id` , `sort_order` , `last_modified` , `date_added` , `use_function` , `set_function` ) VALUES ( '', 'Enable Configuration Cache', 'ENABLE_CONFIG_CACHE', 'false', 'Enable or Disable Configuration Cache: enabling recommended for lower page parse times', '11', '3', NULL , NOW( ) , NULL , 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),' ); to load the variables and values into the database making them accessible through the admin. I have changed the values of the variables used in the configuration_cache_read.php (both admin and catalog) to look like this: (admin example) $config_cache_file = 'CONFIG_CACHE_DIR'; // this should be to a file in a folder *outside* of your webroot with 777 permissions. $config_cache_compress = 'CONFIG_CACHE_COMPRESS'; // be sure to enclose in single quotes. $config_cache_compression_level = CONFIG_CACHE_COMPRESS_LEVEL; // 1 is the lowest and 4 is the highest. 1 should be used on busy and/or shared servers. $config_cache_read = ENABLE_CONFIG_CACHE; if (isset($config_cache_file) && $config_cache_file != '') { if (file_exists($config_cache_file)) { include($config_cache_file); $config_cache_read = true; } } if ($config_cache_read == false) { $configuration_query = tep_db_query('select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from ' . TABLE_CONFIGURATION); while ($configuration = tep_db_fetch_array($configuration_query)) { define($configuration['cfgKey'], $configuration['cfgValue']); } } BUT this is not working! I cannot see why it wouldn't. If anyone has any insight...send it my way!LOL Sheri P.S. I have run debugging emails and it seems CONFIG_CACHE_DIR is not translating into the actual address that is within the database configuration table.??

Oh well, I found the answer elsewhere.

Can anyone tell me what the code is for the link buttons in this flash contribution? I use SWISHmax rather than adobes product and cannot open the .fla file to retrieve the code. Greatly appreciated. Sheri

After your page is up on the server, use your browser's right click to "view source" which will bring you to the html that is generated from your .php page. At some point in scrolling you'll get to a list of your category links beginning with a <ul> tag. This is the structure of the list that is generated (depending on how many flyouts you have): <ul> <li> main category link here </li> <li> main category link here </li> <li> main category link here <ul> <li> first flyout link here </li> <li> first flyout link here </li> </ul> </li> <li> main category link here </li> <li> main category link here <ul> <li> first flyout link here </li> <li> first flyout link here <ul> <li> second flyout link here </li> <li> second flyout link here </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> I would just give you the code but my jcss menu is now just a css menu (got rid of the javascript) and doesn't resemble the original contribution except for the html above. If this doesn't do it post or PM a link and I'll point out the code. Sheri

I have used this menu and added links to the bottom of the menu without a problem. Take a look at your source code and replicate the list structure along with ids and classes. This will be hard coded and not dynamic. The "new" list will not be a part of the overall <ul> of the categories and may not validate because of the call to the same id (can't quite remember) but you will still have a menu that looks seemless and connected. Add the new list to the end of the category box string in boxes/categories.php BTW ;) The new OSC alpha3 categories class looks startlingly similar to this contrib. Sheri

Hi all, I am trying REALLY hard to modify already existing contributions to do a very similar chore yet so, so different :D I've studied Add Multi Products Checkbox v1.0 and the add_multiples section of product listing in columns and Add Multiple Products to Cart, in columns, for SPPC to use in conjuction with Product Attributes - Option Type Feature Some people just want to purchase the same thing with different options! I bought the same t-shirt today in 5 different colours :blush: If I had to buy one...put my wallet away, then do it all over again 4 more times, I wouldn't have purchased any. What a pain in the behind. I have modified the checkbox case of Product Attributes - Option Type Feature to show each attribute in a list with a checkbox. $tmp_html = '<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">'; $products_options_query = tep_db_query("select pov.products_options_values_id, pov.products_options_values_name, pa.options_values_price, pa.price_prefix from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " pa, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES . " pov where pa.products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and pa.options_id = '" . (int)$products_options_name['products_options_id'] . "' and pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id and pov.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by pov.products_options_values_sortorder, pov.products_options_values_id"); while ($products_options_array = tep_db_fetch_array($products_options_query)) { $tmp_html .= '<tr><td class="main" align="left" style="padding-bottom:4px;">'; $tmp_html .= tep_draw_checkbox_field('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array['products_options_values_id']); $tmp_html .= $products_options_array['products_options_values_name']; $tmp_html .=$products_options_name['products_options_comment']; if ($products_options_array['options_values_price'] != '0') { $tmp_html .= '(' . $products_options_array['price_prefix'] . $currencies->display_price($products_options_array['options_values_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id'])) .') '; } $tmp_html .= '</td></tr>'; } $tmp_html .= '</table>'; From going over the add multiple contribs (all for product listing pages) I know that another case must be added to the shopping cart switch to allow multiple items to be passed in one click and that the product_info form must point to this action. Somehow, a hidden field must be tucked into the checkbox case above to snag the values. Beyond this...my brain is sore. Any assistance graciously accepted :wub: Sheri

Here is the link to the paypal ipn developer guide. It should help you understand how these modules interact with their system and the variables they use. PayPal IPN Developers Guide Sheri

Yup, still a workin' on this contrib! If my test orders were real money I'd be rich! LOL I accept echecks and my products are downloads...so any completed transaction through paypal was giving the purchaser immediate access. Great for paypal blanace transfers, credit cards etc but NO good for echecks which take a week to clear. So I modified the code in ipn.php a little to only allow completed and verified ($ in your account kind of verified) to have immediate download access. Everything else stays at "Preparing" with the reason attached. OLD CODE IN ipn.php: $comment_status = $_POST['payment_status'] . ' (' . ucfirst($_POST['payer_status']) . '; ' . $currencies->format($_POST['mc_gross'], false, $_POST['mc_currency']) . ')'; if ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'Pending') { $comment_status .= '; ' . $_POST['pending_reason']; } elseif ( ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'Reversed') || ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'Refunded') ) { $comment_status .= '; ' . $_POST['reason_code']; } $order_status_id = DEFAULT_ORDERS_STATUS_ID; if ($_POST['mc_gross'] == number_format($total['value'] * $order['currency_value'], $currencies->get_decimal_places($order['currency']))) { if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) { $order_status_id = MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_ORDER_STATUS_ID; } } tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_ORDERS . " set orders_status = '" . $order_status_id . "', last_modified = now() where orders_id = '" . $_POST['invoice'] . "'"); NEW CODE IN ipn.php: $comment_status = $_POST['payment_status'] . ' (' . ucfirst($_POST['payer_status']) . '; ' . $currencies->format($_POST['mc_gross'], false, $_POST['mc_currency']) . ')'; $order_status_id = DEFAULT_ORDERS_STATUS_ID; if ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'Pending') { $comment_status .= '; ' . $_POST['pending_reason']; } elseif ( ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'Reversed') || ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'Refunded') ) { $comment_status .= '; ' . $_POST['reason_code']; } else { if ($_POST['mc_gross'] == number_format($total['value'] * $order['currency_value'], $currencies->get_decimal_places($order['currency']))) { if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) { $order_status_id = MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_ORDER_STATUS_ID; } } } tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_ORDERS . " set orders_status = '" . $order_status_id . "', last_modified = now() where orders_id = '" . $_POST['invoice'] . "'"); Best, Sheri

To anyone else using or wanting to use Wishlist 3.5d, I successfully integrated it with Paypal IPN. To make Wishlist work as intended in catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php Add the same line that you added to checkout_process.php: // remove items from wishlist if customer purchased them $wishList->clear(); here: / send emails to other people if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') { tep_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS); } // remove items from wishlist if customer purchased them $wishList->clear(); // load the after_process function from the payment modules $this->after_process(); $cart->reset(true); And you must also add $wishList here: / Terra missing attribute fix start function before_process() { global $customer_id, $order, $sendto, $billto, $payment, $languages_id, $currencies, $cart, $cart_PayPal_IPN_ID, $wishList; global $$payment; // Terra missing attribute fix end Keep in mind that I have the register globals patch installed. Best, Sheri

Self praise is better than none :lol: :lol: Glad you got it working...now to integrate wishlist :x

Well I'm still on the thread :lol: Now that I have IPN working I would like to harvest some of the other data available from paypal: names, addys, fees. I have added the new fields to the db in the order_status_history table and tried the easiest route first by naming the $_POST variables from the paypal form and inserting them into the db. Whoops! Didn't work :blush: Do I have to first declare these as parameters in paypal_ipn.php before I can get the values in ipn.php? Thanks, any knowledge appreciated :thumbsup: Sheri
