Plugin gift_certificate_addon - install.Sql issues ZC 1.57b

[TheGrimReaper]

... So, the only "issue" I'm seeing is that it doesn't say "Starting at..." on the listing pages or sideboxes or centerboxes...

Yup, that's about it. I HAD to take a nap to reboot my brain, while it was rebooting 2 thoughts passed thru my neurological pathways, one is to create an image with a "Starting at $10" and use that as the product image. The other was to simply create a product called "Gift Certificates Starting at $10" and assign the attributes to that. I think either way would work, albeit another "dirty" solution. Any thoughts are welcome. If none, not a problem-Thank you.

I have set up Gift Certificates for several amounts, (although I'd like to have the buyer enter their own amounts, that doesn't seem possible)

Forgot about this...
It's actually possible, although not the prettiest solution... You can setup a GV worth $1 (and maybe set minimum qty to 5 so people don't buy $1 vouchers), and then in the description say that the customer can use the quantity field to decide the amount they want to purchase. For example, if you want $78 worth of GV, just enter 78 in the quantity field...

LOL! Yup, that's a dirty way alright, but ingenious. I see the logic would work exactly as I want, I just need to ponder the implementation to determine if it's that important. You're awesome for continuing to think about it. Reminds me of me. Thanks and kudos.

What I ended up doing was creating several more prices, starting with the original $10, I added $11, $12, $13, $14, etc thru $20 to end up with denominations that can be combined to equal any possible dollar amount. I also setup major price points to help reduce the number of combinations with $25, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. This covers any amounts the customer may want and reduces the number of certificates they need to purchase to equal their amount. Seems to work very well as they all fit on a DT screen without scrolling down the dropdown.

Hi folks, I thought I could figure out why this is happening, alas I haven't been able to, been trying now a couple of days and it's time again to you hit ya'll up to see if anybody has any thoughts.

This was working fine for awhile, I was able to create and send a GV email thru and as Admin, the fictional customer received the email and was able to redeem them normally etc, the pages all displayed properly and the certs went into the sent section as expected. Life was looking pretty good. Then we did some customization on the appearance, nothing major, just colors changes- did no additional modifications or installed any new modules. Then it quit. Try and try again didn't work out. The second day I worked on the issue I removed the module and cleaned up the database and did a re-install, re-config from scratch and nothing changed Everything is fine up to a point, admin can create the email, put that same customer as the recipient, fill out all the necessary information, click submit, get to the send page normally, but wend the "Send" button is clicked it goes to a blank page and the email does not get sent, the recipient does not receive it and everything's dead in the water except it still registers in the Gift Certificates Sent area. Now there's 8 non-redeemed certificates in the sent folder, right above the last successful one on, ironically the 13th.

I would like to figure this out, but I need help. I also have to get rid of those 8 in the sent somehow.

Thoughts, ideas, how-to's all welcome. The second day I worked on the issue I removed the module and cleaned up the database and did a re-instal, reconfig from scratch and nothing changed

Missing Admin Configuration Pages
This is caused by migrating pre 1.5.0 mods which have entries in Admin->Configuration, without creating admin_pages entries for them.

No missing admin pages found.

Just out of curiosity, I tried just a send mail form Admin/Tools/Send Mail ...... it does the same thing. So, somehow I broke my ability to send mail from Admin in general and this probably isn't the right forum and I'll probably be chastised for posting in the wrong place again. Ye-gads!

[TheGrimReaper]

Customers can't send thru the cart either, I logged in as my test customer that I tried to send a gv to and used one of the redemption codes he was assigned.....It accepted the code and placed the balance in the account, from which I tried (as him) to send a GV to a non registered email and got the blank page and no email received at the second address. Nothing shows in queue (if it's even supposed to) ...... yeah, I keep experimenting.

Day 5 on this issue starts in a couple of hours.

Blank pages are always a result of server errors. The errors are not shown on-screen for security reasons so hackers can't get information with which to compromise your site. This means you need to go digging into the logs to understand what's wrong. The /logs/ directory contains the logged errors.

What's the error that's happening when you trigger the blank page?

This post is for informational purposes and just describes my experience with the gift_certificate_addon module ( https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2174 )

I thought it would be nice to have the dashboard for GV's offered by the above referenced module - Using ZC157b. Other modules installed at the time are not relevant as on the 7th reinstall of ZC I tried the add on module first with the fresh foundation and it still causes all email to break and returns a blank page, meaning at the very least, it doesn't work well with 157b.

Maybe others have been able to make it work, but I tried 7 times with a fresh install each time, while systematically reducing all other plug-ins one at a time until I verified it was this module itself causing the problems.

My advice to folks wanting to try it, is to try it as the very first thing before any other modules. But I think you may need to have some kind of shipment and payment setup and make sure you have the zip code for your store set in admin shipping/packaging.
