First, while I do receive an email stating that someone has bid or outbid, I do not receive an email stating who actually won which may be a bit confusing. Ok, it would be very confusing...LOL

Also, when someone signs in and places a bid, a security pop up window comes up stating that , "Although this page is encrypted the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. Do you want to continue?"

Now, my cart does have SSL encryption, so I am confused as to why this is coming up? My customers will FREAK!! and not bid.

I really do not want to go live with this until I get some resolution or suggestions on what to do with these issues. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

It seems that since there is no apparent way to do mass auction items, and they all have to be setup inidividually, that it would be much simpler to have a separate auction site (matching theme) linked in EZpages to a functional working auction site, rather than go through all of these problems, just to make it work in Zencart. PHPAuction and others are very easy to setup and they work fine.

Tried it and got Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport.

Does anyone know how/why the bid has to be above $1.00 plus the start bid to be accepted?
I want to change it so we can have a lower start on the bidding, example
we have an item that bid is started at $.10 and a bid of $.20 will be accepted and not as it is with the bid needing to be at least $1.10, where do I change the base of $1.00???

Sendmail stopped the mail error message, but did not receive the mail.

1st, perhaps these 2 threads should be merged ?
This is too bad that its been abandoned, I even tried to contact the author.
Any talented coders here that could or want to assist?
