I found this in /public_html/cache/ where the ZenCart resides.

[08-Aug-2010 04:00:14] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev() in /home/myclientname/public_html/includes/init_includes/init_canonical.php on line 19 

The referenced code is unchanged from initial install, ie.

if (strstr($current_page, '_info') && isset($_GET['products_id'])) {

  $canonicalLink = zen_href_link($current_page, 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev(zen_get_products_category_id($_GET['products_id'])) . '&products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']); 

I was looking for a problem with the store. It seems that the transactions are being made in PayPal but the conformation is not being returned to Zencart. That is, there is money in the PayPal Account but the client has to call the customer to find out what customer purchased. The Zencart Transaction does not exist.

I go to <Admin>, <Customers>, <orders> the PayPal order does not exist. We have several transactions that are not recorded.

Did PayPal change something this past Friday?

Is this a Zencart situation, ie. Code missing?

Other methods of shopping work properly.

init_canonical.php is NOT included in a default distribution
I think your statement is incorrect

Actually, the file:
/includes/init_includes/init_canonical.php

was added in v1.3.9 ...

Did you attempt to upgrade your site and not upgrade it completely?

I moved the site from one ISP to another ISP a couple months ago. There were no problems in the move of the database and software. There has been hundreds of transactions since the move.

There could have been an employee or someone called in by the owner who tried to upgrade. I was called into the situation today.

I guess if I'm going to clean up someone else's mess the rate just went up. Ha.

What else can I look at to see if there was an attempt to upgrade?

I would compare the site to a clean v1.3.7 and to a clean v1.3.9f ...

That function was added in v1.3.8a in the functions_categories.php file.

So, since you're getting messages from a 1.3.9 init_canonical file that's calling a function introduced in a 1.3.8 file, and your store says you're using v1.3.7, it seems pretty clear that someone's tried to cut corners and hack the init_canonical support onto your 1.3.7 install, instead of properly upgrading to v1.3.9.

Best solution: Upgrade.
Short-term solution: remove the init_canonical code you added, so the errors stop.

Thanks for the information on the function history. I'm with you up to the point that you say "remove the init_canonical code you added". I did not add the function however, I upgraded the site to 1.3.9f and the site is working properly now.


Coffee's on me for the crew at Zen Cart. Thanks for being there.

DONE! I didn't do any comparing. I just did the upgrade. It went from 1.37~ to 1.3.9f and all is well.

As I told Dr. B. the coffee is on me tomorrow. Thanks for being there.

That's a big upgrade step. Be sure to test some purchases all the way from creating a new account through to finishing payment with a credit card.

I added products, installed new shipping, installed new payment, made purchases with the new and the old, then removed the extra moduals I just installed.

The thing that I did not do, but I will now, is create a new user and make a purchase.

Thanks.
