Hi there i have just installed this mod and can see how it all works apart from the template side. I have only installed this and when i create an auction product the page looks like this :-

http://d-jb.co.uk/product_auction_in...-ps2-fat-model

all the footer seems to be messed up as the page should look like this :-

Theres a bug in the use countdown clock.
If you choose "Yes, use Countdown clock" it does not show.
If you choose "No, Do not use Countdown clock" it shows.

Where do you find this control at in the code? I'm sure it can be switched.

Thanks

in includes\modules\pages\product_auction_info\header_php.php add the lines in red in between the black code sections about line 125.

if ($auction_bid > 0 ) {
  if ($auction_bid < ($auction_bid_minimum_increase + $auction_current_bid)) {
    $error = true;
    $messageStack->add('place_bid', ENTRY_BID_TOO_LOW, 'error');
  }
 
if ($auction_bid >= ($auction_bid_minimum_increase + $auction_current_bid) + 200) {
    $error = true;
    $messageStack->add('place_bid', 'To High - Try Again!', 'error');
  }
  
  if ($error == false) {

This works by checking if the bid is 200 over the current bid plus the minimum increase.. change the 200 to something higher or lower for what you want....

I'll have to add this to the next update...

I'll try to work on this if you don't get around to it :)

Thanks

Thought I fix it once... but see its still coming up...
in includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_product_auction_info_display.php
change the zero to a one....

<?php if ($auction_clock == 1 ) { //run the clock ?>

I'll try to work on this if you don't get around to it :)

Thanks

Strange, I don't see any method to adjust the highest bid amount in the admin. Am I missing something?

Wouldn't the highest bid amount work similar to the lowest bid amount?

Thanks ( By the way thanks for the great addon! )

I'd like to announce some modifications I've made to davewest's great script.
I've added a "maximum bid allowed" feature to keep people from placing crazy bids like a billion dollars.
You can make this any amount you choose inside the admin panel.

@davewest, I'm not sure what you did to the last update. The last version that is avaliable in the downloads area of zen-cart says "Last updated Dec 20 2010" and is version 1.2a.

I saw no provision for limiting maximum bids allowed. However, I did see in an earlier post where you suggested...

That's a new one... never thought about a max amount, but with the two key words free-fun would get it going.... this is basically the opposite of the to low bid, but without an easy admin setting.

in includes\modules\pages\product_auction_info\header_php.php add the lines in red in between the black code sections about line 125.

if ($auction_bid > 0 ) {
  if ($auction_bid < ($auction_bid_minimum_increase + $auction_current_bid)) {
    $error = true;
    $messageStack->add('place_bid', ENTRY_BID_TOO_LOW, 'error');
  }
 
if ($auction_bid >= ($auction_bid_minimum_increase + $auction_current_bid) + 200) {
    $error = true;
    $messageStack->add('place_bid', 'To High - Try Again!', 'error');
  }
  
  if ($error == false) {

This works by checking if the bid is 200 over the current bid plus the minimum increase.. change the 200 to something higher or lower for what you want....

The edited page if you wish to just replace it... Attachment 8740

I've made modifications to the script and added a Maximum bid allowed feature to the admin based on your "minimum bid allowed" feature. I think you'll find my changes helpful and worthy of a submission to the free software add ons section of zen-cart.

Thanks again for the great script. I can't attach it to this forum because its too big I'll have to submit it for approval.

The latest is up on my site.... its been faster to do it that way while waiting for it to go live here.... I just did a site wide max bid and not by product... post your changes here or PM me...

davewest,

You might want to check the file you have for download at your website. May be you have accidentally used an old version or something.

I see no changes regarding maximum bid allowed anywhere in the running script.

What I did was add the ability to control the maximum bid increase allowed from within the admin where you either create or edit the auction product itself.

I've submitted the changes I've made to the auction product type to zen-cart for approval.

Here is a couple of screen shots. Note: I have so styles defined.
