I overwrote the shopping cart template directly. You'll have to do the same for the Order Confirmation page and, to be thorough, the customer email.

The first two are pretty easy to override, the...

Hello fellow Zenners,

I'm trying to build a round up donation module that will ask the visitor if they want to donate an additional $4.25 if their order total is $25.75, for example. It's going to...

I haven't come across any server specs in terms of what kind of RAM I should have to successfully run ZenCart. Let's say I have a small to medium shop, selling maybe 100 products a day (with a larger...

I've got a client who want to add an affiliates program to his ZenCart site. I was wondering what kind of recommendations for providers people in this forum had. What's the most common/popular/solid...

Nate, it sounds like you're on the right track.

Originally I thought I would complete this as its own module, but I've currently got way more work than I could handle. If there is somebody...

Thanks to Jason for discovering a hard-coded table name in a sql query. Download the latest version, v 1.2, for a fix. If you want to make the fix yourself, go into the file
...

Hello,

Please use this new version 1.1. It fixes a problem where the sql patch file was missing a configuration value that allows you to toggle the module on/off!

Cheers,

I tested this scenario and was unable to create a new account with the same email address that had been used in COWOA. If you're saying it is possible, I will take it that I failed to update my...

I figured out what was really going on. A customer had COWOA'd using the email [email protected]. She later tried to create a regular account with [email protected]. At that point, the create_account script threw...

Hi gang,

I just finished wrapping up my code into a module. Here it is in beta form. I would call it a very strong beta, as I've been running the code on my site for almost a year (I just don't...

OOPS! After thoroughly reading the code and testing running the same email through a few times, it appears as if this module will simply create a new customer record each time. Looks like I spoke...

Ok, I just read through the code and the situation is a bit worse than that (before I was going off what the notes said). In fact, a customer can only COWOA once. That whole "."" thing isn't in the...

I've run into the following problem: this module works by creating an account in the background when somebody checks out. If they try to COWOA again with the same email, it will create another...

Hi Zenners,

I've developed some code for ZenCard that will scrub the address a customer inputs via the United States Post Office CASS Address Verification API. If you want to see it in action, try...

Friends,

There appears to be some interest from a number of groups for my donation module. I think I will look at what it will take to wrap up my work into an open source package. Please hold :)...

Yep, check out the link I posted above. For a basic donation product, you can simply cannibalize the code on the product page.

It's simply a product with a price of $1. The quantity determines...

Ah, upon digging a bit further, I have discovered the svn switch command. I believe this will let me switch from, let's say

/branches/v1-3-8/trunk

to

/branches/v1-4/trunk

Cheers,

I've figured out how to download a particular version from the ZenCart SVN repository. For example, I got version 1.3.8a by typing the following command



svn co...

Eventually I re-wrote this so that I didn't have to modify a core file. Instead of passing the shopping cart class through the function, my observer simply utilizes the $_SESSION['cart'] object.

Thanks for the info Dr. Byte.

Does ZenCart support CVS for installing/upgrading ZenCart?

Kevin

I've got a product that is a gift subscription to a magazine. The product page allows a user to enter the gift recipient's address. I want to write an observer that, upon clicking 'Add to Cart', ...

Thanks for the link. Very helpful!

Hello fellow Zenners,

I just completed an upgrade of 1.3.7 to 1.3.8. While testing, I attempted to run an order through the checkout pipeline. Unfortunately as soon as I click 'next' on Checkout...

Yes, I am doing this in a second install. I'm using a folder called /store1.3.8.

I changed the /yesadmin folder back to /admin. Now the only error I'm getting on the first install screen is that...

I am trying to upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8. I have chosen to be prudent and make a duplicate of my database first, which has the prefix 'zenupgradetest_zen' opposed to the regular 'zen_'.

Good point. I had reworked the form to submit back to the product page out of ignorance of another way to do it. I'll look into reworking it to be more ZenCart standard and see if it helps.

Thanks...

Yes, it's definitely firing. What happens is I take a set of address fields, send them to the post office, and replace the $_POST variables with the response. Any $_POST variable that I touch comes...

My observer is responding to NOTIFY_HEADER_END_PRODUCT_INFO. Definitely before it's being acted on.

I found this post at php.net:...

Hello,

I have a gift product that allows the user to enter a gift recipient address. I am writing a piece of code that sends the address to the USPS and replaces it with a scrubbed address....

Yes, I've got 1.3.7 installed and an upgrade is in order. Thank you Dr. Byte.

Twice now I have downloaded a list of transactions from Authorize.net and discovered two orders with a duplicate invoice id (say 325). When I check the orders in ZenCart, I will only find one of the...

Does that look right to you?

Hey Zenners,

As part of my work with YES! Magazine, I created a donation product type. Check it out here:

Hey Zenners,

I just renamed my /ZenCart directory to /store, and after changing the two configure.php files (the one in includes and the one in admin/includes), everything works like a...

Can't think of any built-in functionality that will achieve this. You might have to switch to a custom homepage that you build by hand, in which case you could omit the product yourself.

My problem seems to have resolved itself. It must have been something to do with the change in IP address for my site that got resolved over a few days.

Kevin

I should mention:

The funny thing is that the SSL was working fine until a few days ago when our hosting provider moved our site to a new IP address and new SSL address. I updated HTTPS_SERVER in...

I am having the same problem on my site. I have scoured my code for external links, but can't find any. I could really use the help of a guru!

Hello,

I've got a few questions about the customer login mechanism. First, it appears that a customer is required to create an account in order to make an order. Is it possible to change this so...

Thanks Dr Byte! That solved my problem.

I've got a few products that don't have a base price, so what's showing up in the top titlebar of my browser window is: Subscription - $0.00. I'd like to remove all reference to the price....

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to change the light blue that shows up whenever I click on an text input box. The blue is part of the default template that comes with ZenCart, but I can't figure...

Hey folks,

I'm attempting to write some code that will add products to my cart. I can add a product with the function $_SESSION['cart']->add_cart() no problem. However I can't figure out what the...

Does ZenCart have the built-in ability to standardize addresses using the CASS certification system?
