Hi,

Is the update for the 1st August changes available from your shop now, or will it be later today?

It will be available this evening, at which point everyone subscribed to the mailing list will be e-mailed and a post made here.

I'd like one or two people to volunteer to test a Release Candidate this afternoon if possible (just for feedback purposes). If you'd like to please contact us using the contact form on the website (please don't put your request here, we will only send to private addresses and not through the ZC forums/PM).

All the best...

Conor

Thanks Conor,

Would the release candidate function Ok (right now) on live shops *before* Protx makes the 1st August changes (ie. wouldn't stop a live shop working this afternoon) - or are you looking for people to test using the Protx test server?

It won't stop live shops working, no.. UNLESS you are using the PREAUTH authorisation type.

All the best...

Hi,

Any update on the new release ?

Apologies for the delay, we were having severe problems with our test server today and couldn't understand what was going wrong with the latest version of the module as everything looked perfect. Eventually we discovered that all our code was in fact fine and that there is a bug in the PEAR MCrypt module. It was this bug which was causing all our problems - how frustrating, we could have released many hours ago otherwise!

Nevertheless, everything is sorted now and the module has been fully tested. As such, it is now available for download.

We recommend that everyone upgrades but we have discovered that all current users of version 3.0.x's stores will keep running fine with version 3.0.x, at least for the time being. Protx have allowed a grace period during which the old URLs and code for Maestro cards ('SWITCH'') will keep working. No information is available about when this grace period will end so you are advised to upgrade as soon as possible!

Our previous post about upgrading being essential was made on the misunderstanding that as of 6AM on 1st August Maestro cards would no longer work with 3.0.x. It is only users of older version of 2.x for which this is true. Please accept our apologies for our confusion in this regard!

Please note though that 3D-Secure is now compulsory for accepting Maestro cards... all users of older versions of this module which still had support for Switch/Maestro must disable that option in their admin now or upgrade to version 3.x (3.2.0 at the time of writing).

We've added a few nice extra features to the module as well as updating it for Protx's new systems. The changelog is as follows:


[UPDATED] Module updated with URLs for Protx's new systems.
[UPDATED] Support for new test card numbers and AVS/CV2 test values added.
[ADDED] Icons added for 3D-Secure message page.
[ADDED] Support for new Authenticate Transaction Mode added.
[REMOVED] Support for old Pre-Authorisation Transaction Mode removed.
[ADDED] “Cards Accepted” sidebox added to allow dynamic display of accepted card types even before the checkout stage.
[UPDATED] A warning is now displayed when one of the test Transaction Modes is being used.
[UPDATED] Documentation (FAQs) updated with information about manual installation of the necessary Blowfish encryption files.


Download 3.2.0


Enjoy the new version!

All the best...

Dos anyone know if protx completed the upgrades? as I am getting errors from "payment server" ie protx with this new module - I presume that its protx upgrading and it took longer than 2 hours! just wondering if anyone else can get an order through?

Thanks Conor -- some great work again!! I think you've just released "probably the Best Protx Direct Contribution in the world!"... lol ;)

We are now upgrading our clients using DIRECT from 3.0.5 --> 3.2.0

It also looks like there is NO UPGRADE for those using FORM 2.0.1

The module looks great (as usual) but ........

Am getting a bit concerned - Haven't been able to put an order through successfully yet, although Protx have taken the money.

The whole process takes a long time before the error message so must be the dreaded timeout problem with having to have safe mode on, but that has only been a problem twice in the last year or so.

Anyone else having similar problems?
