Make a sale, get a text message

[znrinarz]

It cannot be "configured" to do any of these things; you would have to write code to do it.

Great mod swguy!


I know Verizon will split text msgs if they contain too many characters so I don't see the length being an issue unless product names are lengthy.

Has anyone attempted to write code to include Product Name and Quantity Ordered in text message?

Users outside the US who don't have an email to text gateway might consider using Penny SMS.

There's an email integration and the price is very reasonable at $0.01.

I tried the CAN-SPAM fix you had listed on your FAQ, but it did not work and I'm getting two text messages because of it. Any idea why it is not working in 1.3.8a?

[swguy]

It does work in 1.3.8. You've done something wrong. (The difference between 1.3.8 and 1.3.8a is so small it's not worth mentioning. When people say 1.3.8 they mean 1.3.8a.)

I found the error. Seems to be messing up when the email part of stock by attributes runs in /includes/classes/order.php. Every time I mess with the CAN-SPAM part in any way I get a

PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/n/e/w/newtonmrktng/html/flavorwood_store/includes/classes/order.php on line 788

as a debug error. The line it refers to says

foreach($this->products[$i]['attributes'] as $attributes){

yet I don't really see anything wrong with the line.


I don't have the time to play with code to make it all work together nicely so I'll just live with the two text messages until I get time.

[swguy]

I suspect you want to do something like

if (is_array($this->products[$i]['attributes'])) {

before the foreach loop.

That solved my error problem, but didn't fix the CAN-SPAM issue. I can live with the two messages for now until I have time to look further into the problem. It might just fix itself when I start working on a test upgrade to 1.3.9b.

Scott - same issue here with 1.3.9d:

Applied the fix from your faq and that got sms on sale working again when an order via paypal is received. Also getting 2 messages with all the CAN-SPAM blah blah attached.

I loaded this on my site and made a test order. It sent a text message to my phone. The problem is that the order did not round up the taxes, so the order amount is saying that the was for 57.2258 instead of 57.23. The email that was sent to my email account was correct, it just shows up like that in my text message.

Zencart 1.3.9f

Interesting, noone has ever reported this. To fix it, edit ./includes/classes/observers/class.msg_owner.php and change the last part of $email_text definition from using

+ $order->info['total'] . "\n";

to

+ round($order->info['total'], 2) . "\n";
