zc 156c
dpu 3.2.0
Dynamic Price Updater (Update Check) set FALSE
why is DPU trying to "phone home"? and generating adm debug files
Isn't 'phone home' code frowned upon?
what does it take to disable this check since the switch doesn't appear to work as expected?

Re: Price Updater
Not sure what goes wrong, but the "phone home" is Zen Cart default code. Not something build in to the module. Zen Cart checks the module for updates on the zen cart site, but on your site that is not working.

Re: Price Updater
Not sure that I understand. The switch is set to false, don't check for DPU updates but even then the check that was not expected to happen failed and caused adm-debug files to be generated. Originally Posted by Design75

Re: Price Updater
It appears to me that the DPU module is not functioning as expected based upon this comment.
The adm debug file creation occurred today on several occassions. Other errors, are the typical undefined_constant errors which seem to be quite frequent since beginning the update to 156c.// Respect the admin setting for version checking to prevent checking this if the store is disabled. (typically set because the version checker may generate warnings/errors.Rick

Re: Price Updater
I just had a better look at the code, and it appears that there is an older version of the "call home function." I already was working on a new version of this mod, so will include this..
The new mod will include updates made by MC123456778, he did the major development, over the last years. My updates are mainly getting the code to the latest standards.Zen cart installation / maintenance / customisation / hosting

Re: Price Updater
It's not the "age" of the call home that is an issue, but as RixStix has pointed out that regardless the setting it still tries. This goes back to the use of a constant *and* the value of that constant. In this case, the *text* value of false... In a loose comparison (not using === for example), true == 'false' == 'true'.. Originally Posted by Design75
The test would work even if it were == 'true', but without any comparison the text value of 'false' causes the inner content to be executed.
The "older" version of the call home had been retained because that was the version that worked on older style systems that would not be expected to require or may not support the newer style(s) where newer ZC versions would already have the call home code and that portion of the file would be omitted. Although in webchills' version of ZC, he has removed the call home code and therefore if it is not included in the file such as this, then installation to a fully German based ZC site causes issues in this portion of the code.
Anyways, where:
is present by itself, it could be changed to:Code:constant($module_constant . '_PLUGIN_CHECK')
Or better still:Code:constant($module_constant . '_PLUGIN_CHECK') == 'true'
Would be more understood to mean that it better be that value or else. :)Code:constant($module_constant . '_PLUGIN_CHECK') === 'true'
Sorry for any previous "flippant" attempt to incorporate such a switch. I think it is a common problem across the plugins that use or attempt to offer an independent control for the plugin separate from the ZC control.ZC Installation/Maintenance Support <- Site

Re: Price Updater
TNX but for a coding dummy, it would help to know which line and the complete line so that more problems don't occur due to a fatfinger in the edit? I'm guessing that the debug files were only generated because the zencart.com phonehome server was having troubles with accepting the phone call yesterday. Originally Posted by mc12345678

Re: Dynamic Price Updater
I do get the ZC Admin login page but after the submit button I get a 500 error page.

Re: Dynamic Price Updater
500 error implies a PHP log present in the site's /logs sub-directory. Since you can't log in, view that sub-directory either using an FTP program (e.g. WinSCP or FileZilla) or via your webhost's cPanel's File Manager tool. Originally Posted by GoldBuckle
Remember that since the log was issued from the admin, its contents will include reference to your admin directory's name. Be sure and xxx those occurrences out and post a pertinent log within a "CODE" tag (the big # in the menu bar shown when you're writing your response).
