This happened to me when I first tried the contribution out. It turned out that the javascript didn't work for a Mac so I had to paste in the description etc from an editor.?Might be somewhere to start looking...

I dont think that that is an issue because I am on an AMD XP Barton running XP. I am going to try a reinstall and see how that goes. Also, smitty, is there any way that I could try out what you have with 1.1. Maybe that will solve my problem =)). I will let you all know if that works.

 

thanks

OK now this is getting weird. I built a couple new auctions and they're not showing anything in the description field on ebay. The weird part is that I generated code from an auction that I have running and that is listed properly and it shows up with a blank description. How can the same code result in a good auction and one that doesn't work?

Here's the code for the auction that doesn't display correctly.

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
   <td>
    <script language="JavaScript" 
     type="text/JavaScript">
     if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") 
     {
     document.write("<object type='text/x-scriptlet' data='http://wvdropshipping.com/auction_product_info.php?cPath=9999&products_id=3845' width='750' height='100%'></object>")
     }
     else
     {
     document.write("<object type='text/html' data='http://wvdropshipping.com/auction_product_info.php?cPath=9999&products_id=3845' width='750' height='100%'></object>")
     }
     </script>
   </td>
 </tr>
</table>

 

 

If you just enter the URL in the browser, the information all displays.

I have seen on this thread several people who say they cannot get their Current Auctions to update - I just installed the Automated Auction Process contrib and I can't get anything to update. Everything seems ok, but nothing out of the current aucitions. Has anyone figured out why?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

I can hardly wait for 1.1 to come out. The only problems I had with this mod were things I caused myself. Once I undid my "enhancements" it works great.

Hey guys,

 

I had this installed and I am trying to submit an auction on eBay, and when I insert the script into the Description field and try to preview it, I get this:

eBay_error.gif

 

Here is the code:

 

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD>
<script language=JavaScript type=text/JavaScript>
     if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") 
     {
     document.write("<object type='text/x-scriptlet' data='/shopcart/auction_product_info.php?cPath=9999&products_id=173' width='100%' height='1300'></object>")
     }
     else
     {
     document.write("<object type='text/html' data=''/shopcart/auction_product_info.php?cPath=9999&products_id=173' width='100%' height='1300'></object>")
     }
     </SCRIPT>
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

 

Can someone please help?

 

What am I missing?

 

I can't wait to get this thing workin:)

 

Thanks All!

T-man it is the "link" ebay can not find. You may not have this properly set up in configure.php.

 

It should look like this:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
   <td>
    <script language="JavaScript" 
     type="text/JavaScript">
     if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") 
     {
     document.write("<object type='text/x-scriptlet' data='http://www.smittys.pointclark.net/auction_demo/auction_product_info.php?cPath=9999&products_id=78' width='100%' height='1300'></object>")
     }
     else
     {
     document.write("<object type='text/html' data='http://www.smittys.pointclark.net/auction_demo/auction_product_info.php?cPath=9999&products_id=78' width='100%' height='1300'></object>")
     }
     </script>
   </td>
 </tr>
</table>

 

notice the http://www.smittys.pointclark.net/ this is not showing on yours because it needs to be set in configure.php.

 

Hope that helps.

I think I found a big problem with this contribution. When I clicked on my "all products" link, the items I have on ebay were included and the price was $0.00 on all of them. I tried adding one to my cart and sure enough, I was able to proceed through checkout and purchase the item for a price of $0.00. I removed my all products paged till I can figure this out.

wvmlt,

What do you mean by "all products" link?? Is this another contrib installed?

 

What is the php code? I am sure we can change it so it chooses everything but the auction items.

 

:huh:

Thanks Smitty for the reply. I had my programmer go through and fix that problem. Apparently I have an older version (not ms2.2). Anyway we got that to work.

 

I do have a couple more questions. All my auctions have set shipping prices on them. I do not use weight at this time. When an auction closes and I go through the checkout process, the shipping cost does not come to my shopping cart. Is this feature suppose to work, or should I do this a different way? I could use weight if that is how it is suppose to work.

 

Also I noticed that when I purchased the item in eBay, and then went to checkout, the item that was in my shopping cart was listed as the item I got on ebay, but it was not the actual item (matching item) from my product list in my store. Should it be one of the actual items from my product list? Or just a new item that is not listed as an actual product?

 

Thanks again.

Shawn

Yes it's another contribution that I had installed, it's called allprods or something like that. I just deleted it though. Great contribution. I think it makes my auctions look nicer without a lot of effort.

I know it has been a while but it is almost done.

 

Any other suggestions? :huh:

I am always open to improvement :)

It would be nice to have an HTML editor where you add the description for your auction item.

Smitty,

 

I've just installed AAP locally on Loaded 6 for testing. It all went smooth.

 

Just a question: in the new 1.1 version will I be able to choose the items to list on Ebay and send them with just a click as if I used turbolister ? Well actually it could be much better then TL because you will skip a passage, isn't it ?

 

Thanks

From what I've read, you will still generate the code to paste into ebays item description field or you can export a csv file to use with turbo lister. It'll make it easier to create auctions from inventory you have though because you don't have to enter in the item description......you just pick the item from a dropdown list and go.

Tomcat,

Unfortunatly, in 1.1 you won't be able to upload it directly to ebay. This would require the use of there API defeating the Open-Source concept ($$$). On the other hand you will be able to export it directly to your desktop as a cvs file designed for Turbo Lister. You would then open Turbo lister, import it and upload it from there.

 

Hope that helps.

:)
