Excellent!. Many thx gjh42.

I will take a look at Express and I understand the benefits for customers with a Paypal account, but if the customer chooses to pay by card, is the IPN handled any differently? I mean, is it still...

Thx for clearing that up DrByte.

Thx for responding :smile:

@frank18

Does the IPN work for you using Express if a customer chooses to pay with a credit card?. My IPN failures using Standard were both card payments.

@DrByte...

I was attracted by the PayPal feature that my customers would have the option to pay using a debit or credit card instead of setting up a Paypal account. Since launching my client's Zen Cart store I...

@moderators

You can change this post title if you want to remove the reference to a spam alert - but revealing the site owner's email address in plain text on their Zen Cart site will result in...

There's nothing wrong with the Gift Certificate FAQ, but I just discovered that by default it reveals the store contact email address in plain text under 'When problems occur'.

If you want to...

Thx for the link :smile:

I have been using EP with success to upload products in batches of around 400 at a time. Best tips I can give are:

1) Product must have a model number.
2) Model number must be unique.
3)...

Can you say what is your PHP version?, MySQL version? and whether you have PHP register_globals 'on' or 'off'? This info will help the developer provide an answer to your issues. The SQL error sounds...

The text qualifier should be 'none'. The file you import into Easy Populate should be tab-delimited.

Well, I started with 'file' and that made a major improvement! :D

With the browser cache cleared, the homepage parse time reduced from 19 seconds to around 3. Actually, I'm surprised this isn't...

What are the advantages and disadvantages of files Vs database? :mellow:

Many thx Kobra :smile:

The Sourceforge site lists this patch below the version I have installed:

but the date would indicate it is needed. Am I o.k. to apply the file changes in...

Thx Ajeh. The site for this mod is offline at the moment, but hopefully back soon. :smile:

I found the excellent 'quantity discount' module by SWGuy, but is there a way to automatically give all customers a 10% discount if they spend over £100? :mellow:

I guess you could hack PHPBB to re-direct the 'join forum' link to the Zen Cart sign-up page. Then on the Zen Cart 'account success' page you could provide a link to 'return to forum'. They are then...

Excellent!. Many thanks TShooters. :D

I just noticed that FF and IE both print the admin folder path at the head or foot of invoices and packing slips.

Anyone know a workaround for this (other than scissors!) :mellow:

Thx DrByte. I'll take a look at PayPal Express.

In the meantime I will add some text to my Zen Cart checkout so customers are forewarned that when they reach the PayPal page it only deals with...

I understand what you are saying, and I appreciate it may not be Zen Cart's fault, but for a user it is bad. They wind up on the PayPal website with a 'Pay £200 now' button and nothing on that page...

I took a look at the osCommerce IPN mod for PayPal and it does indeed pass the product name for a single product, but it isn't clear what happens if you buy more than one item. I don't use OSC so I...

I agree it is surprising that no product details are passed to PayPal, but AFAIK there are only a couple of custom fields that can be used to transfer additional info and they are limited to 256...

If you are starting from scratch, there does appear to be one issue regarding how people become members of your forum.

If they sign up as a Zen Cart customer it's o.k. because they are...

I haven't used the PHPBB integration yet, but based on what you're saying it would certainly be a problem if someone registers in the forum, THEN decides to become a Zen Cart customer and has to...

I haven't tried the PHPBB integration yet, but I have a client that wants to sell production equipment and then encourage repeat and continued purchase of raw materials, spares, upgrades etc. It is a...

Shipping estimator now works. :D

I have one question. The 'we can not ship to your location' warning is preceded by the words 'Flat rate' which is the default fall-back title in the config. I was...

Still had no time to try latest version yet. Will do as soon as possible.

@conor
Any joy with the shipping calculater issue? It's the only thing that doesn't work AFAIK. Looking forward to using this mod on a live site. :bigups:

Thx DrByte. :smile:

According to the advisory, there is a fix you can apply:

includes/classes/class.phpmailer.php

replace:



function SendmailSend($header, $body) {
if ($this->Sender != "")

Does this affect Zen Cart in any way?

Anyone else encounter this problem with the shipping estimator, or is it just me? :unsure: I badly need the 'we don't ship to your location' message.

Tiny bump.

Can anyone advise me about this. I just noticed that a customer can change their billing address too. Is offering these features really safe to do?

If your store is set up to show price inluding tax, the checkout displays the tax amount by default. It does however display this alongside the name you gave the tax, e.g. 'VAT' which at first glance...

AFAIK, Excel will automatically encase strings that contain commas in double-quote marks, presumably to stop the commas being interpreted as delimiters. You could check to see if any commas are...

Congratulations on a very nice mod!. Using 'price' as the calculation method, my client can set break-points based on order value after which a different shipping method is used. The lang definitions...

You can use anything you like for model number, e.g. an incrementing value. There just mustn't be any duplicates.

Thx for clarifying that econcepts. :smile:

I have to say, Zen Cart would benefit from some consistency with the use of the terms 'coupons' and 'certificates' in menus and config screens. The word...

In 1.3.7, I can see in 'Configuration/GV Coupons' the option:

Thx Scott. :smile:

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I assume I could set up a discount coupon and publish the code in a Newspaper advertisement or on a leaflet? :huh:

I agree that there should be a clearer indication of the stock status in the product details screen. Unless the customer spots the one-liner about 'This product will be in stock on...' they face...

It seems that Excel exports '21/03/2007 17:01' as '21/03/2007 17:01:00' (the last two 0s are normally hidden in the spreadsheet). EP seems happy enough importing this, as long as the 'Upload File...

Hi Kobra.

The text file seems in order. I opened it in 'Context' text editor to check the tabs. I have since discovered that if there is a value in every row for manufacturer (even a '-') then it...

I have hit a small problem. :mellow:

If I set up 10 products for import via Easy Populate and enter a manufacturer's name for product 5, all the records following that record (6,7,8,9 and 10) all...

I'll take another look ASAP :smile:

Thx for the Navicat link Cobra. I'll take a look at that.
