Hi,
An easier fix will be simply installing/upgrading to version 3 ;)Quote:

I'm working on a new site and downloaded Ceon Manual card version 2.0. and Zen Cart 1.3.9h. I've understood all of the installation directions up until "Create the Database Table". I'm not a programmer and do not know how to do this. I've scanned through all 24 pages of this thread with no directions other than the preferred method is to install through SQL patches in the Admin Tools.
On that page, I see:
Enter the query to be executed:
Be sure to end with ;
I see that the SQL script is: ceon_manual_card.sql
What else to I enter in the text box or can I upload this file in the Upload file section? I'm afraid to try anything for fear of breaking the entire site.
You might want to look in the _docs directory that comes with the mod.
Installation Steps item 6 is very explicit as to how to "load the database."
Hi,
You'll find that with Zen Cart many modules require you to upload a SQL file to add a database table, change existing database table(s) or to add/change configuration options.Quote:

You do indeed click "Browse.." and select the file to upload, then click ""Upload".
If you're this nervous about following the instructions then either some practice like this will help or you should consider getting a developer in to help you.. sometimes it takes guts to go it alone and at other times to admit you're too far in on your own.. :)
I think it's best you try it yourself in this case.
On another note, Ceon Manual Card 3 will be out today or tomorrow and it no longer has a create database/SQL file upload step.
All the best...

Conor - thank you. I simply browsed and uploaded the sql file and everything appears to be working.
To Conor and dbltoe - possibly just plainly stating that in Step 6 of the installation file might help others. Please take this as constructive criticism - sometimes those that are closest to something can no longer see what the novice sees. When looking at the Install SQL Patch page and seeing the large text box, it appeared to me that I needed to be entering some information there when all I really needed to do was upload the sql file. Is there a purpose for the large text box?
Hi,
No problem. Glad you're sorted now!Quote:

I actually try to keep the documentation as succinct as possible, while staying as comprehensive as is necessary, as many people seem to be put off by longer documentation.
Ideally there would be beginners/intermediate/advanced levels/documentation for everything but unfortunately it takes so long to write, maintain and support a distribution in the first place that spending the additional time coming up with that is something I've personally never found the time for, as much as I'd have liked to.
In most of the forthcoming releases from Ceon though, steps have been taken to minimise installation time with automatic database table creation and even smart error checking.
In Ceon Manual Card 3.0.0 there is no SQL Patch step.. making things easier still. Nor are there any Blowfish steps.
So I am very much actively looking to make things easier, especially for novices! I don't just assume everyone has similar knowledge/understanding! :)
To enter SQL commands manually, rather than running a file of SQL commands.Quote:

Hi,
I'm very happy to say that we've finally released the new version of this module, version 3.0.0.
This thread is now officially closed.
PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE EVER AGAIN! USE THE NEW THREAD!
The new support thread for the software can be found at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180718
It is recommended that everyone updates as the software has some nice new features!
Upgrading should take no more than a few minutes!
- There's some very nice, laboriously tested, automatic upgrade functionality in the new version.. it'll upgrade any new version's database (if necessary) and configuration with the greatest of ease.
- More information about what's changed/new can be found out by checking the revision history.
- The distribution has been submitted to the downloads area and is also available now directly from Ceon's website.
Enjoy! :)
All the best...

Hello to all and thanks in advance for any assistance!
I have been using the ceon credit card processors module for more than a year with tremendous success for my client.
A few months ago (prior to v2.0) we had only 'lost' one set of middle digits and it was later found in the spam folder of all places.
After upgrading to v. 2.0 there have been two transactions where the middle digit information was not sent at all.
The cart processed several orders yesterday and everything worked fine and with exception of those two orders, we have never failed to receive the credit card info.
I am at a loss as to why the emails did not come through and I have checked more than once to make sure the spam folder did not receive any of them.
The orders were placed on different days completely but they were both placed at roughly the same time of day (within 15 minutes of each other).
I have no idea why that might affect things, but it was the only commonality between the orders.
Help! :)
I've had this problem occasionally also, 2 orders in the last day (2 out of 30) (two separate sites), middle digits. I'm using smtp email (goggle mail), not in spam folder, just lost. Start of CC was retained in database. Not sure how to trace why this happened. Using version 3 of this mod.
