Hi mesnitu,

nice to hear from you. I have just put BookX on Github. It is my first project on Github, so if I missed something, let me know :)

https://github.com/philoupin/bookx

Please note...

Hi,

just spend a whole evening trying to figure out why IH4 wasn't scaling my uploaded images. It just kept the large uploaded JPG for all three sizes small, med, large.

Reason: In Admin ->...

Hi mesnitu,

thanks for sharing that. I am testing BookX with 1.5.5 in these days and will re-examine that issue. As I already wrote in the comments, i wasn't very have with my cursor movement to...

Hi fj,

your are right, this definition seems to be missing from the language file of BookX. If the name of the constant is output to screen, then it means the constant is not defined.

in...

Hi Frank,

the metatags are included by core ZEN CART functionality, not by BookX. You can verify this, by looking at the "normal" product folder in ADMIN/includes/modules/product. It also has...

Sorry I am not familiar myself with CEON. There is only one include of "collect_info_*.php" named files at the top of "collect_info.php"
If you need extra code anywhere else, then you do have to...

Hi Frank,

menitu must respond to you, since he wrote the original post.
Let me just point out again, that there is an inclusion mechanism, which allows you to place a file which begins with...

Ok. Whatever you do, don't go crazy ;)

Just imserted a product of type BookX and the products_date_added seems fine.
This is done via the MySQL command "now()", maybe your database doesn't play along?

This happens in file:...

Hi mesnitu,

can you verify, whether the newly inserted products have a "date_added" before you convert them to product type Bookx ?
"Date_added" shouldn't be touched by Bookx really. BookX just...

Yes, the author URLs and publisher URLs should both be fixed.

p.

Hi guys,

sorry, my bad. Indeed the urlencode makes no sense in that part of the code. I have uploaded another archive to sourceforge (still called "revision8") where these two files have been once...

Well, don't ask me why this was working before and now it isn't, but the "redirect&goto=..." etc. link conversion was indeed part of the BookX code.
I have changed it and you can find an updated...

I have the same behaviour here in my installation, so no need for cache error log from you at this time. Not sure with what ZC version this was introduced, since it was working back in 1.5.1 I think....

Hi Digi,

this issue is new to me, but I think ZC is translating the link, rather than Bookx.
Do I understand correctly, in the author URL field in the backend you enter:

AUTHORWEBPAGE.com ...

Hi mesnitu,

this is good point. Here is what I will implenet, in case you want to use it now:
in file "[ZEN_CART]/includes/modules/pages/bookx_authors_list/header_php.php"
change line 83 from
...

Hi mesnitu,

thanks for tracking down this error. I was convinced too that I had uploaded the fixed installation file, but indeed I had not.
I will do it right away, and yes you are correct, it is...

I have only recently started using git, so I will look into creating a project page for BookX as well...
p.

Indeed, you are missing these two lines on line 100:


$product_assigned_authors = array();
$product_assigned_genres = array();

It is true I had not included the very latest files in 1.9.4...

Not sure what the issue could be. In the unmodified collect_info.php an empty array is created on line 100:

$product_assigned_authors = array();

then possibly it is filled with some content on...

Thanks for letting me know, this is all new to me, I will look into it to see, if it's something I can fix in BookX.

Best regards,
p.

Are you getting this error when inserting a new author type?
If so, are you entering a (numerical) value in the field "sort order"?

If you are getting this error when you insert new author type...

You can also put a file that starts with preview_info and ends with ".php" and it will be included, but further down in the script, so all variables from the POST are available.

Line 144:

Hi fjbern,

glad it works as advertised finally!
I suspect the first two plugins you mention are easier to get to work with BookX, but "Easy populate" is a different animal. Another member has...

You can find an updated module here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/zencartbookx/files/?source=navbar
Please note that I have simply removed the requirement for tpl_modules_whats_new.php since...

Great news!

let me put that together and I will let you know here when the file at Sourceforge is updated. I will submit here at ZC.com at the same time, but it usually takes much longer until the...

That is very nice, thank you. In the end that's what one gets themselves into with open source development and if I am offering you software, be it paid or not, then it should be working too ;)

On...

Hi fjbern,

I have now downloaded a fresh ZC 1.5.4 english-only distribution and installed it with a new database. Merged the Bookx files into the file tree in their respective locations, excluding...

We are still aiming to find the source of your error, installation of the module comes next.

BookX is not installing because there is a MYSQL error and the module is therefore not yet running. As...

If you have direct access to your MYSQL the you could run the query direvctly just to test (copied from your error statement above):

REPLACE INTO admin_pages_to_profiles (profile_id, page_key)...

Hi fjbern,

you will excuse if my questions / suggestions were possibly a bit too entry level for you, but now I see clearer, thanks.

The file tpl_modules_whats_new.php is not absolutely...

Hi fjbern,

I cannot reproduce a "file missing" error even by omitting some required bookx files.
So let's make sure we're on the same page as far as the installation goes:

1.) You were asking...

Okay. I can check what error is shown when the actual install script file is missing. I have not tried that myself :)
Let's rather wait a few days and I can give you more specific help.

Regards,...

Hi fjbern,

I am not near my development computer at the moment, so I can only fiddle with this starting next monday. I assume the error message you got did not have more info than "file not found"...

Hi fjbern,

sorry the plugin wasn't working for you out of the box. As Iruskauff mentioned below, the error log you posted says it can't find one of the database tables which are installed by the...

Let me quote from the README file :)

NEW IN 0.9.4: Assign & remove Author / Publisher / Series / Genre / Imprint to multiple books at once

Linking a book to authors / series / imprint /...

do you import 100 books with 100 authors, or maye 100 books with 20 authors?

If you want to hear seomthing positive, then I think you will find that importing books as "normal" products,...

Hi mesnitu,

I cannot verify right now that BookX works with 1.5.4 but I don't see what would break it, since not much seems to have changed in the core functionality.
I went through great efforts...

Dear mesnitu,

I'm not so familiar with the music type, but the main problem is this: you have a table of (user defined) authors A, B and C. They have IDs 1, 2, 3 in their table "bookx_authors"....

Hi mesnitu,

author, publisher and genre are the problems, because they link to another table. You have discovered that you can assign a genre / author / publisher to multiple bookx products at...

Hey mesnitu,

nice to hear from you :)
The CSV import is not really a big priority I'm afraid, especially since all the attributes which have user defined entries (i.e. anything "BookX" under the...

Hope the BookX mod will be helpful to what you are planning to develop.

Best regards,
p.

Hi DW,

it seemed to me the best way to do it.
The idea is to create additional logical entities like author, series, book condition, so that the shop can filter for these. If we roll all of that...

Hi Imagine,

once you placed all PHP files where they need to be, you still have to run the installation script in the ZC Admin backend. This will install the necessary database tables. The...

Hi Chabbu,

please excuse, i did not get notified of your post here for some reason. I have taken the original Shopping cart class file from the german distribution of ZC, so possilby they have...

Hi mesnitu,

from just checking it quickly, I would think that inserting the following lines in product_boox/collect_info.php at line 100 should work:



$product_assigned_authors = array();...

Hm, very mysterious.
Try to set the "SHOW CART QUANTITY BOX" to "0" in Admin, maybe that helps?

p.

Not sure how that is possibly, are you sure this is the file being used? do you have an override file somewhere?
In the above code this HTML "<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" />'"...

Indeed, here it works as expected.
I have seen that on your test page the SUBMIT form is missing two hidden INPUT fields in the HTML.

Your HTML:

<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->
<div id="cartAdd">...

Okay, i have seen it in your shop, you can delete the test product.
I will make a note and fix it in next release.
