Auction Product Type

[janellez]

Thank you! I'm reinstalling my test site right now and will let you know how it goes.

Darn - I installed the above code and still was able to click the submit button twice quickly and submitted two bids - same amount, same id.

Admittedly, maybe I installed the code incorrectly but the auction still works - I just didn't get that whole please wait thing and it allowed me to double click.

Hello everyone, just a couple of quick questions,
I just noticed the larger image link points to a popup window instead of the lightbox that I have installed, anyone have this changed? also, when is the next update coming out?

Thank you!

It works for me... The script needs to be in the html auction page or it will take to much time to run and another click could get through. View the page source to make sure the script is in the header and the onclick event is showing up.

Fuel Slimbox worked with the main image, but not the additional images. Next release will fix that problem.

weird... it doesn't work with the main image for me either.. has that being updated on the current version?

I found another problem.... when a customer wins an auction and they go to pay for it... it shows them the BUY IT NOW price instead of the price they won the auction.

I looked throughout this thread but could not find anyone else with this issue.

Hi all,


Before I start complaining, I would like to say that the module looks like it has very good potential, and generally functions well. I have been playing with the it for a couple of weeks. I've installed/uninstalled it a couple of times. Now I have had a couple of problems with it:

1) The cron is set up, but no emails are sent out. It was working in the past, so I don't know why it stopped.

2) The bread crumbs are displayed twice on the product page

3) Also on this page, it seems that the day/hour/minutes to the end of the auction are hard coded, and are not translatable.

4) In admin the name of the auction type is editable, but if you change it you break the module, because the module looks for this name in the db. It's nice being able to edit the product type name, so perhaps it should be changed to lookup on a non-editable field...

5) During my testing, I won an auction below the reserve price. At that time I was still receiving emails. I got a notification telling me I had the winning bid, and allowed me to purchase it at the lower price!

Answering my own post :-)

To accommodate translation of days, hours and minutes:

in file includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_auction_info_display.php at line 100:
change

<td align="center" class="main"><?php echo TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE .$days_left." days ".$hours_left." hours ".$minutes_left." minutes"; ?>

to

<td align="center" class="main"><?php echo TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE .$days_left. TEXT_DAYS .$hours_left. TEXT_HOURS .$minutes_left. TEXT_MINUTES; ?>

Add the following to file includes/languages/english/product_auction_info.php (and any additional languages)

define('TEXT_DAYS',' days ');
define('TEXT_HOURS',' hours ');
define('TEXT_MINUTES',' minutes');

Will send a fix for the editable product type name shortly...
