cod + shipping modules

[Maria Claudia]

Dear Ajeh
we were both right.
Once again I had a problem in transfering my data via Filezilla.
I reloaded fresh new copies of cod mods, no changes yet , now cod is in green and loads properly.
Cod was working in past in between addition of table2 to table1, something broke after adding table2. And even though I reedited the file (Notepad++) something had already been corrupted.
----------------
I noticed that whenever I down or upload a file with Filezilla and the very same file hasn't undergone any modification whatsoever Filezilla changes the size of the files. Is this a regular behaviour ?

----------------
I will make modification to cod module and let you know.

No not really. One has to ask though, if the file in question hasn't undergone any modification; exactly what does filezilla change the filesize to? (and what was it before the change?)

When I mean no changes I mean that the file has not been even opened .

Ex: I download a file from my server. there it has a size, suppose, of 1000 once it reaches my computer it is 970.It seems that Filezilla usually shrinks.
I suppose Filezilla is not on a diet program.

Based on those numbers I suspect that the difference *could* be due to changes in the EOL (end of line) characters. This will occur if filezilla is set to "auto" or "ascii" as the filetype and the transfers are on text based files created on one type of file system (eg, linux) and they are being transferred to a different system (eg, Windows). Assuming this is the case the solution is to set filezilla to use 'binary' mode (located under 'transfer/transfer mode').

If you are using filezilla to open/edit the file(s) you need to ensure the editor you are using doesn't mess with the EOL characters either, because this will also cause a small difference in filesize.

I can't think of any other causes at the moment, but I'll worry about that if these current suggestions don't help.

ps. Unexpected changes in reported filesizes is not a good thing, so even it appears to be a 'harmless oddity' at the moment, sooner or later it will cause you problems unless resolved.

I checked in meantime and it was set "auto".
You are right .
I'm going to check Notepad++ as well and change settings in both.

You are right it did make a problem at lenght as you can see.

Thank you very muuuchchch.

Fixed both programs ! They both work fine !


Wouldn'it be a good idea to post this piece of info in a way that those newbies like me (i'm a very desperate case) not familiar with these programs would more easily know about ?


Thanks
