Mod for value field for Gift Certificates

[Beez]

This mod-package is divided in two mods.

Value-Mod:
This mod makes it possible to have an input field set the value of a Gift Certificate. Intended to be use with the GV-Product_Type-Mod that uses a seperate Product Type for Gift Certificates.

GV-Product_Type-Mod:
This Mod creates a new Product Type, Gift Certificates. The new Product Type is based on the Free Shipping Product Type and is intended to be used with the Value-Mod in order to better control the look and behaviour of Gift Certificates.

The mod will be downloaded from the download section under Product Types.

Questions, comments and support are given in this thread.

I installed the mods for the gift certificate, but I keep getting the error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /includes/classes/shopping_cart.php on line 383

I then overwrited the shopping_cart.php with the original one and the mod still didn't work. I tried this on new zen cart installations, and edited ones.

Can someone please give me some help on how to install the gv mod?

Hi there Pierre!

I discovered a similar problem when I moved to a server with an older php and MySQL, where the line

$mod_product_model = $db->Execute($mod_product_model_query)->fields['products_model'];

must be changed to

$mod_product_model = $db->Execute($mod_product_model_query);
$mod_product_model = $mod_product_model->fields['products_model'];

It seems that "$db->Execute" and "->fields" cant' be on the same line. You can try it your self or wait for an updated version to be posted shortly... The same kind of change needs to be on on several lines in shopping_cart.php and maybe in some other file.

Thank you for your feedback! Good luck!

Hi Beez.

Thanks for the support, it helped me alot. If anybody else also have this problem, you also need to edit the following lines in /includes/classes/shopping_cart.php

Line 742

$value_id =$db->Execute("select products_options_values_id
	   		      from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES_TO_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . "
		  	      where products_options_id = '" . $option_id . "'
		  	      limit 1
			    ")->fields['products_options_values_id'];

change to

	
$value_id =$db->Execute("select products_options_values_id
			 from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES_TO_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . "
			 where products_options_id = '" . $option_id . "'
			 limit 1
			");
$value_id = $value_id->fields['products_options_values_id'];

Line 931

$value_id =$db->Execute("select products_options_values_id
	                     from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES_TO_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . "
			     where products_options_id = '" . $option_id . "'
			     limit 1
			   ")->fields['products_options_values_id'];

change to

$value_id =$db->Execute("select products_options_values_id
			 from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES_TO_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . "
			 where products_options_id = '" . $option_id . "'
			 limit 1
			");
$value_id = $value_id->fields['products_options_values_id'];

Line 1943

$mod_value_gift_model=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_model_query)->fields['products_model'];

change to

$mod_value_gift_model=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_model_query);
$mod_value_gift_model = $mod_value_gift_model->fields['products_model'];

Line 1949

$mod_value_gift_options_id=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_options_id_query)->fields['options_id'];

change to

$mod_value_gift_options_id=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_options_id_query);
$mod_value_gift_options_id = $mod_value_gift_options_id->fields['options_id'];

Line 1955

$mod_value_gift_options_type=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_options_type_query)->fields['products_options_type'];

change to

$mod_value_gift_options_type=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_options_type_query);
$mod_value_gift_options_type = $mod_value_gift_options_type->fields['products_options_type'];

Line 1986

$mod_value_gift_query_model=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_query_model_query)->fields['products_model'];

change to

$mod_value_gift_query_model=$db->Execute($mod_value_gift_query_model_query);
$mod_value_gift_query_model = $mod_value_gift_query_model->fields['products_model'];

You also need to edit the file includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

Line 95

$mod_product_model      =$db->Execute($mod_product_model_query)->fields['products_model'];

change to

$mod_product_model      =$db->Execute($mod_product_model_query);
$mod_product_model = $mod_product_model->fields['products_model'];

I hope this helps.

Exactly!

Thanx for typing it ;-)

[Beez]

I've uploaded a new version (1.1) with the changes above. It works with Zen Cart 1.3.6.

Thanx Pierre!

I am encountering a problem with this and the improved attributes controller and this working together...has anyone else encountered this problem.
Thanks in advance....

[Beez]

I'm not using that mod so I can't help you with that. If you manage to get it to work, please let us know.

Good luck!

[Beez]

A new version is uploaded. The new version (1.2) is updated so that the value of gift certificates in the shopping cart is shown in the value field.

The new version will located in the download section once it has been approved.

This might work for multiple quantity boxes, but I am not sure. Can the numerical number entered into the text box act as a quantity amount too. So say a shirt is $5 and they want to order 10 smalls 10 medium and 5 larges WITHOUT having to go back and forth from the shopping cart. The question is can I have this new text input option increase the quantity based on the number they enter?

Thanks,

Brad
