Do you mean there is no more development being done to fix the email problems?

wilt fixed it.

wilt fixed it.

If you are refering to the fix Wilt did in April, the email was not completely fixed. There is still a major problem when a reserve price is used.
Or did I miss a fixed release since the forum format changed?

Their doesn't seem to be away to leave a reply on the new auction mod thread. And it doesn't seem to be locked. What gives?

I think all the old forum threads have been locked into archives. That is why I started this one here in the Miscellaneous category, hoping those interested in the auction would respond.
I'm stuck with the mod working great except the reserve email problem.

Hear! Hear!

I've just installed this without any problems and it looks *really* good, but there are one or two niggles that could do with being looked at if the developer or anyone else has the time.

Bearing in mind that I'm not a PHP developer (and it has been some years since I coded anything other than HTML), this is what I have found so far...
There is no "record lock" that prevents simultaneous bids, so first time I tried it out, I managed to outbid someone with a lower amount. The higher bid showed up, but lower down in the bidding than my much lower bid.

The product copy (duplicate) generates the following errors:
Warning: reset(): Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/aniamuk/public_html/shopcat/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

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

Nice to haves, if anyone is planning on developing this further :
- A reporting tool for the bid history (not essential), but mainly something that will allow you to see the winning customer as an admin function. It may be offputting to customers to see their name up on the product page.
- A shop notification email to advise who won the item and for how much

Thanks in advance to anyone who has the time or inclination to follow this up
