Auction Product Type

[beasleybub]

Is anybody else having problems with the sideboxes on the right side doubling up when viewing the auction product while logged in as a customer? This happens in IE8 and not firefox.

However, When not logged in as a customer page layout looks fine in both IE8 and Firefox.

Depending on if you are logged in or not and if the item has bids or not I get different validation errors viewing the Auction product.

For example.

Not logged in as a customer looks fine in both browsers but gets a validation error wether or not items have or do not have bids.

line 207 column 1 - Warning: missing </div>

Logged in as a customer looks bad in IE8 causing the sideboxes to bunch up into two rows on the right side.

Bids or no bids while logged in as a customer.

line 265 column 5 - Warning: missing </form>

and

line 207 column 1 - Warning: missing </div>

I'm sure it's in the \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_product_auction_info_display.php

Can someone please look into this I can't quite track it down. I'm trying but no luck.

Thanks

davewest,

I see you updated which file you had available for download at your website from 1.2a to 1.2b.

Though both of our solutions will keep max bids at bay they are radically different in approach. Because of this I plan on submitting my modified version of the auction product type to zen-cart as an alternative to the original.

I present no disrespect to you or your works only a new view to an existing add on.

Thanks for your efforts. Without people making changes zen-cart wouldn't have evolved to what it is today.

Cheers

I've reworked the template altogether and continue to make changes. Because of these changes I plan on submitting the auction product type I'm working on as an alternative to the original.

Hello everyone

I am a new user of Zen Cart and love it. I downloaded the Auction Product Type module, got it installed and running. I have 1 problem though. My products all have attributes and when I convert them to auction type product they loose all their attributes, or so it seems. The customer is unable to view the attributes selection when purchasing the item. It just displays the normal auction window, count down timer, buy now, minimum bid increase, all those things but no attributes. How can I get the attributes back?

When I go to the attributes manager, the product is still setup with all the attributes, it just does not want to display them.

Thanks in advance for any advice or information.

ruaan,

The auction product type is not set up to allow attributes. Attributes could potentially change the items price thus defeating the purpose of bidding for an item. If you have attributes for an item you have up for auction that don't require a price change you could just put it into your description and request the winning bidder to request the attribute they wanted during checkout.

It would be interesting to add an attributes feature to the auction product type so as long as it did not change the price of the item.

On another note not related to this post:
I have noticed as well that winning bid emails aren't being sent out. Outbid emails are but not winning loosing emails.

I like this module, but I have one question: let's say the bid increment is 1,00 euro, and I place my maximum bid, which is 10,00 euro higher then the current bid, does the module add 1,00 euro to the current bid or 10,00 euro ?

[wellers-auctioneers]

I to am looking for some code which will allow a max bid to be entered, eBay style.

Where bidders can set their max bid and the new bid for that buyer will simply be the current bid + the min bid increase.

Any suggestions or help?

Great code by the way!!

Cheers

Dan
