Ceon Advanced Shipper base date?

[nicksab]

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding CEON advanced shipper. I know it is a paid add-on and I prob won t get any love for it here but it is still worth asking.

When I am using the method scheduling, it seems like advanced shipper is taking the date of when the method was created instead of the current date and time?

For example, if I do a method with scheduling with a 2 weeks ahead display, it will show fine week 1 and week 2. However, when week 1 is passed, it will not display week 3. ( week 3 would be the replacement for week 1 if the module would keep the 2 weeks ahead display)

I am not sure if I am making any sense but does anyone knows how to change the base date/time that the module is using to CURRENT DATE so the module would always 2 weeks ahead.

Thanks in advance for reading this post ( confusing I know)

I tried JSweb but I am not going anywhere with them

Wish CEON was still among us. http://www.zen-cart.com/images/smilies/sad.gif

I am using Ceon Advanced Shipper with ZC 1.5.0. I, too, know this is a paid add-on but I am hoping to find a kindred spirit that can lend a hand since Ceon has passed on and JSweb is NOT supporting this module at all.

I am trying to set up the Custom Product Field Configuration/Integration . I followed the instructions in the docomentation and it all seemed to go swimmingly until I tried to actually assign a custom field to a method on the Advanced Shipper Config page; I can choose the custom vield value from dropdown menu - that part works ok. But I cannot save it.

My log files show:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /path/to/file/advshipper_method_config.php on line 981

And this is what I learned:

An offset error in PHP is a fatal error that occurs when you incorrectly try to use an index value for an array on a string variable.

So I sort of understand what the problem is - - the array of option Values and Titles set in admin/includes/languages/english/advshipper_custom_product_field_functionality are strings but the function is looking for an index value.

But don't know how to fix it

Here is the code in question (line 981)

    // Store any custom product field value selections /////////////////////////////////////////////
    if (isset($_POST['custom_product_field_values'])) {
        $custom_product_field_values_info = $_POST['custom_product_field_values'];
        
        if (strlen($custom_product_field_values_info) > 0) {
            $custom_product_field_values_info_array = explode('||',
                $custom_product_field_values_info);
            
            $num_custom_product_field_values = sizeof($custom_product_field_values_info_array);
            
            for ($custom_product_field_value_i = 0; $custom_product_field_value_i <
                    $num_custom_product_field_values; $custom_product_field_value_i++) {
                $custom_product_field_value_info = explode('|',
                    $custom_product_field_values_info_array[$custom_product_field_value_i]);
                
                $custom_product_field_values[$custom_product_field_value_i]['value'] =
                    $custom_product_field_value_info[0];
                $custom_product_field_values[$custom_product_field_value_i]['title'] =
                    urldecode($custom_product_field_value_info[1]);
            }
        }
    } 

If anyone has used the Custom Product Field feature successfully or has any suggestions on how to fix this, I could sure use some help.

your table in products make sure type is set to varchar
i had same problem.

[boxcar]

Yes. it is varchar 64 length, Default = null, collation = utf8_general_ci, and the NULL checkbox is checked.



So, jimmie, you got it working ok?

[jimmie]

yes
i have even modified and cloned this module and have two instances running.
there are things that dont work on this module which i dont know how to fix.
jsweb said they rewrote the module but have not heard anything from them.

[jimmie]

what version u running

[boxcar]

Version 5.0.2. I believe that was the last version.

I have suspected that the problem was with the way I configured the new field in the products table. What are your settings for that field?
