strange issue with admin area

[trillian]

This is odd. Somehow I have inadvertently altered something and now when I go into the 'payment' page under 'modules' in the admin area it is displaying the various payment modules all the way across the page so that there is no column on the right where you can edit/remove/install them and I cannot open any of the modules to change parameters.

The shipping and order total pages seem fine it is just the 'payment' one that has gone wonky.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what files control the layout of this page ?

Thanks,
Sheryl

I forgot to mention, the cart version is 1.2.6d

Do you know how old and out of date your code is?

Look in the directory:
/includes/modules/payment

What files are in there?

Are all of the files "code" files? Or are they "language" files with defines in them?

Look in the directory:
/includes/languages/english/modules/payment

Yes, I know it is old. I am just trying to setup something for one of our affiliates.

I don't know what the difference is between 'code' and 'language' files. they all have .php extensions.

Surely there is a file somewhere that defines the layout of that admin page ?

Not advisable to use such an old version of Zen Cart for anything... even if it's "just something" for one of your affiliates.

Why don't you just load up a copy of 1.3.7 and do it with a version that's more secure, robust and contemporary?

Language files contain defines ...

For example, the language file for moneyorder.php located in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/moneyorder.php

has the defines:

  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_TITLE', 'Check/Money Order');
  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Please make your check or money order payable to:<br />' . MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_PAYTO . '<br /><br />Mail your payment to:<br />' . nl2br(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS) . '<br /><br />' . 'Your order will not ship until we receive payment.');
  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_EMAIL_FOOTER', "Please make your check or money order payable to:" . "\n\n" . MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_PAYTO . "\n\nMail your payment to:\n" . STORE_NAME_ADDRESS . "\n\n" . 'Your order will not ship until we receive payment.'); 

The code file for Money Order contains code such as:
/includes/modules/payment/moneyorder.php

  class moneyorder {
    var $code, $title, $description, $enabled;

// class constructor
    function moneyorder() {
      global $order;

      $this->code = 'moneyorder';
      $this->title = MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_TITLE;
      if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG === true && (MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_PAYTO == 'the Store Owner/Website Name' || MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_PAYTO == '')) $this->title .= '<span class="alert"> (not configured - needs pay-to)</span>';
      $this->description = MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;
      $this->sort_order = MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_SORT_ORDER;
      $this->enabled = ((MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);

      if ((int)MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) {
        $this->order_status = MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
      } 

The difference is pretty clear when you view them ...

What I am trying to do is determin what files do you have in the two directories:
/includes/modules/payment
/includes/languages/english/modules/payment

and make sure that nothing is mixed up nor are there copies or extra files in these directories because they are self loading directories ...

I have been using zencart for a couple years now. It took ages getting it all customized and working properly. The last thing I want to do is start from scratch. BTW - when I installed it originally it was the latest version :)
