Your Store Gift Cards (plastic, etc) - not working yet?

Hi Dawl,

Yeah just installed it on 1.3.9 and its fine.

Don't get me wrong this is a fantastic mod but with one drawback. The customers are unable to see what their remaining balance is, it only states it after they have made a purchase.

Is there a way to have this display? it would be great if this could be displayed in their account and also at checkout for example -

You have £40.00 of credit left on your gift card

Thanks
Matt

Thank you for this mod, it works great! one thing though, how can we prevent clients from using gift cards to purchase more gift cards or gift certificates?

Found a problem with this module. When installed on 1.3.8a it throws a includes/modules/order_total/ot_gv.php on line 49 on the Modules > Order Total page in admin. Does anyone knows the fix for this?

Can't figure out what the problem is.

Thanks.

Done extensive testing and there is something wrong with this mod. The product and category restrictions don't work, no way to restrict them from the admin area. Anyone can purchase gift certificates and other gift cards with a plastic gift card, not exactly what they are intended for.

Can anyone using this mod please report if this mod works on your end?

Hello again, apparently I'm the only one interested in this mod? :huh: or is it that this mod was dropped completely? :(

For what I can see the mod is practically a modified copy of the Gift Certificates, but the functionality to restrict certain purchases is not there. Also, this mod says in the instructions: "Note: you can prevent the use of purchasing other giftcards through product restrictions. Store Gift Cards ARE physical products." and there is no way to do this unless I'm missing something.

There is also a very important problem with this mod that needs to be addressed. The fact that Gift Certificates and the same Plastic Gift Cards can be purchased over and over again. There are no restrictions whatsoever on this mod to prevent anyone to purchase gift certificates and plastic gift cards, so if anyone can shed some light on this matter it would be greatly appreciated.
:smile:

Wow, this is a great mod. It's just what we're looking for. Too bad it looks like it has been abandoned.

Anyone else still using it?

I've installed it and we're sending out free $5 cards with every order of $50 or more this weekend. That should be a good test of it.

will this work on 1.3.9h ?

I was wondering if this mod could be used on v1.5?

I installed this for my client in 1.3.8 and issued a bunch of gift cards, so they're quite insistent I get this working again. I'm running 1.5.1 now and gave it a shot on installing it. The Gift Card module does show up properly on checkout_payment, but it does not show up in Admin/Tools as a new Gift Card Manager menu option. So I can't get the issued card numbers back into the system for them to be redeemed by customers. Anyone with any ideas on getting it to show up in the backend? I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears but need to give it a shot. Many thanks!

...well, it shows up on checkout_payment but if I enter any number, it errors out. So it doesn't seem to work in 1.5. Even after adding a "zen_" prefix to it's "giftcards" table that it installs (when you click on Install from Order Totals). We'd be willing to pay for a developer to update this.
