How Did You Hear About Us? Referrals Mod [Support Thread]

[tatiana77]

Here's my setup:

Database: MySQL 4.0.27-standard-log
PHP Version: 4.4.7
Zen Cart: 1.3.7
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7

I'm still scratching my head as to why this mod doesn't work either.

My setup is similar:
Database: MySQL 4.1.22-standard-log
PHP Version: 4.4.6
Zen Cart: 1.3.7

Hopefully a pro will chime in with a resolution.

Server OS: Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp
Database: MySQL 4.1.22-standard
PHP Version: 4.4.7 (Zend: 1.3.0)
Zen Cart 1.3.7
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7

I believe I posted this info earlier in this thread - but just moved all my web clients over to an upgraded dedicated server. Most clients have zencart websites as that is what I specialize in building. All sites worked fine on the "old" server and continue to work fine on the one with the specs outlined above.

Judy,

Considering all the problems we are all having maybe "we" have to come up with a set of instructions that works the first time?

The instructions in the zip file are pretty clear I would think - and are exactly what I do when installing the mod ..... they are as follows...

2. Unpack the zip file to a temporary directory on your hard drive. All of the
files are stored in separate directory structures and all files are based on
ZenCart Release 1.3.7 (e.g. admin and includes).

3. Copy the contents of the `how_did_you_hear_about_us_1.3.7` directory to your
Zen Cart installation except for the `install_referrals.sql` file and this
installation file. If you are using any overrides in ZenCart that include the
files in the this contribution, use an application such as Beyond Compare or
WinDiff to compare your files and resolve any differences.
There is one file:
(\includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_modules_create_account.php)
which should be put in your template override folder i.e.
(\includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_modules_create_account.php)

4. Run the SQL file install_referrals.sql on your database. You can use the
Install SQL Patches in the ZenCart Admin Panel under Tools -> Install SQL
Patches or you can use phpmyadmin for this purpose.

the only thing different on my server than yours (that I did not post above) is:
HTTP Server: WebServerX

[tatiana77]

I'm running on (or however you would describe it loll)

HTTP Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)

Would this make any difference?

Stellarweb, there are file over rights, and perhaps if a conflicting mod is causing this problem, it would be easier to just implement the code rather than completely replacing it? I always use winmerge to compare the files, but as I'm not a coding expert, sometimes I'll overlook something. Would the issue be customers.php, orders.php or any other similar file?

Thanks,

I, too, use Winmerge - and yes, one needs to be very careful when merging the files together if they are using other mods that also modify the same files.

It is also important to note that usually you will see notations that show the start and the end of the mod code and should copy those notations over as well - AND that just because you see the code once at the top of the file.... doesn't mean there is not MORE code for that mod further into the file. Using the create_account.php file for this mod - there are 3 different instances where there is code that might need to be transferred over if integrating with other mods.

Did anyone get this mod to work properly?
