Hi gjh42

Good points for future reference, but number of downloads does not necessarily equate to number of successes.

I recently downloaded the mod three times over as many months, but was unable to open any with winzip, 7zip or IZarc on any of my XP, win7 or win8 machines.

A similar problem was reported by Keneso back in Aug 2012: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...81#post1145781

I doubt that all or even a significant number of the 447 people who downloaded that version in the last six months had problems unpacking it. Did you try again with a fresh download, or do you know for a fact that there is a specific issue that makes the available version incompatible with your version of winzip? Did you try it with a different unzipping program?

Well, I am more than capable of making zip errors ;-) I am bad at packaging things up and zipping them. It makes me laugh how bad I am at it sometimes. That and phones seem to confuse me much more than they should . Part of the problem comes from working on linux which seems more tolerant of zip things than windows so windows users sometimes have problems when I don't. So there is really no problem in having a version that has been zipped by a windows user as that is the platform that most are using.

Well for what it's worth I never had any issue unzipping the latest version.. I am using Windows 7..

Quite true, but number of complaints is likely to relate (not equate) to number of failures. Two people posted with issues about unzipping... I would guess that there is something about the download zip that has a problem with some kind of relatively rare environmental factor. No idea what could be common to all of your attempts.

Just to put my 10 cents worth in. It doesn't matter guys!

This is a thread about SNAF. Not so much about zip technology. We are in a 'community' and if members wish to be part of that community and take actions to help others then that should be applauded. In this case it seems that that is pretty much the case. I don't take it as any criticism that someone wants to provide an alternate version of the module. In fact, I applaud it. If it helps even one person then that is great :-) If it makes my life a little bit easier, which it does, then that is great too.

The thing about system specific issues is that they are really hard to deal with. ( As I have proved We have all experienced that in lots of forms. The benefit of an active forum is that people are likely to find others who experience the same issues as themselves. Even if the problems are due to local system variables.

Hi and thank you again niccol for this awesome plug-in.

Quick question regarding: Include Salemaker Items in Specials Listing.
I currently have a sale running using salemaker. None of the items show up under the specials listing, when I have "Show Specials" enabled.
I hadn't manually added any products to Specials. ( I do have "Include Salemaker Items in Specials Listing" set to true).

When I do add just one product to specials, via, Catalog: Specials, (trying to trigger the salemaker items to show), only that one product that I entered manually shows as a "Special" product, none of my "Salemaker" products appear.

Am I missing a setting somewhere else along the way?

Thanks in advance,
Kathleen

I forgot to add, I am using the Sheffield Blue template downloaded from the Plug-ins section which includes tabbed home page modules.

The other issue I am finding:
When I manually add special items and have Include Salemaker Items in Specials Listing enabled, I get the following warning on the specials page: "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again", and the page is blank below the warnng.

If I set "Include Salemaker Items in Specials Listing" to false, the items I manually entered show up again.

I am sure it has something to do with the template and how it interacts with SNAF, but I am far from a coder, and need direction as to where to look for the issue.

Thanks again,
Kathleen

@kathleen

yes, it does sound like a template issue. when you get that error do you get any logs in the cache folder ( or the logs folder if you are using 1.5.1 ) ?

If so can you post one of them and that might let me know what is going on.
