VendingBox Plugin Support Thread

[vb_support]

Hi Paul,

I think the problem is that we currently don't have an option to hide products which are out of stock. They appear in the VendingBox but the customer is informed that the item is out of stock if he or she tries to add it to the cart.

In this case the items were successfully updated to out-of-stock but still showed up in the VB.

We'll add a feature which makes it possible to hide out of stock items in the next few days.

Thanks for helping us to improve VendingBox!

Best regards,
VB Support.

I get these warnings when I view the Zen cart customer admin screen for customers created from VB. I cannot edit or otherwise amend customer details. All I can do is delete them directly from the database and then the warnings go away.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/xxxxx/public_html/pets/xxxxx/customers.php on line 1099

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/xxxxx/public_html/pets/xxxxx/customers.php on line 1101

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/pets/xxxxx/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/pets/xxxxx/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 30

xxxxx = admin name

If I click on a customer who used my site directly I do not get the warnings.

Is there something I need to change to allow your customers details to be displayed correctly, or do you need to change something at your end for when customers place orders?

Apart from this small issue the addon works perfectly and I am receiving orders ok.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for letting us know about the problems.

Can you PM me with the details of your Zen Cart installation (version number and any add-ons that might affect how orders are stored)?

We'll try to get rid of those warning messages as soon as we can.

Best regards,
VB Support.

I am using CEON SEO URLS Version 4.07 - the ability to exclude certain files from being remapped has been removed. When I try to access the feed in my browser I get this error: unauthorized access error. So how can I get this to work correctly? Thanks for your help with this.

This is the official support thread for the VendingBox plugin.

The plugin is available at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1888

This plugin allows you to connect your Zen Cart site to the service at VendingBox.net. The service provides you with a mobile customizable storefront, written in Flash, which can be placed on Facebook, blogs or any other website.

When a customer shares one of your products to a Facebook wall, a mini-store appears on the wall through which other customers can purchase or share the products. Purchases made through the VendingBox can appear alongside your other orders in the Zen Cart admin section.

The plugin is installed by extracting the zip file and putting the vendingbox_feed.php file in the main directory of the Zen Cart site.

Once you have opened an account at:
http://www.vendingbox.net/?ref=zen
you can specify the url of the vendingbox_feed.php file in the Configuration->Cart Integration section and click "Import All Settings".

Currently, only PayPal is supported. We plan to add support for other payment systems such as AuthorizeNet, 2CheckOut and Google Checkout in the coming weeks.

Only radio and drop-down attributes are supported right now. We will add support for checkbox attributes soon. Also, only table rate, flat rate, zone and per-item shipping information is imported. We hope to add support for UPS, USPS and Fedex soon.

Please let us know which features are most important to you; we will prioritize the implementation of features that are frequently requested.


Many Zen Cart users will have installed other add-ons which change the database structure and cause problems when importing information to the VendingBox. If anybody has problems like this, please let us know, and tell us what add-ons you have installed. We can usually modify the code to make it compatible with other add-ons once we know what changes they involve.

Other unforeseen problems will occasionally occur, but we can fix them relatively quickly once they're brought to our attention.


Yours,
The VB Support Team.

Hi.

If you're getting the unauthorized access error message then it means that you can successfully access the plugin at that url. The reason that it doesn't allow access to the plugin is to prevent unauthorized people from retrieving information about your store through the plugin.

You should be able to use the plugin as normal. If you use the url which gave the unauthorized access message in the Configuration -> Cart Integration section of the VendingBox website, then you should be able to import your products and settings.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
VB Support.

[vb_support]

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know about your facebook-vendingbox looping behavior. We're investigating it right now.

Unfortunately, support for google checkout or cardsave is not planned at this time. We'd be happy to send you a private message or email if we do implement either of these payment options.

Best regards,
VB Support.

Hi Xbox Memberships,

Your VendingBox should now be accessible and visible from your Facebook page. Our apologies for the glitch.

Please let us know if you encounter any further issues.

Best regards,
VB Support.

Hi kazulanth,

We'd very much like to implement a version of the VendingBox plugin for ZenCart 1.5, but we're not sure when this will happen. We'll be sure to post here with updates.

Best regards,
VB Support.
