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

[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial]I moved the create_account.php to the folder as suggested and that did not correct my problem. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial]The displayed error message: [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial](Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/aaadi3/public_html/admin/orders.php on line 195) [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial]is a syntax error detected during php parsing. Such a syntax error must be corrected before a program can run. A syntax error could be wrong or missing punctuation, unrecognizable operators or statements, etc. The resulting code cannot execute. This contribution does not seem to be in a bug free condition.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial][FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial]Is the author of the code available to assist in debugging?[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Arial]I use the applezen template and this contribution is not easy to uninstall. Any suggestions?[/FONT][/FONT]

I got the same error when I was looking at my admin/orders however not being a "expert" with this mod I looked at the version of orders.php that comes with the new 1.3.7, that version is June 25, 2007 and the version that came with mod is December 28, 2006. If you you a file compare program you will see the differences in the two versions.

I'm guessing the error message we saw is a syntax as stated. I have not explored it, maybe something like a forgotten "}" bracket, but then again I'm the few who has problems with this mod.

I'm trying to see what effect having the original orders.php file has with this mod so I loaded the later version (that came with 1.3.7) back on my server to see which way it goes .... "hook or slice".

Thanks for the response! I gathered from your message that you have a procedure for removing the mod. Since I cannot get this issue resolved I want to remove it but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

[gogolf]

I'm sure there is a posting on the procedure for replacing the changes you have made to your store. You'll the constant warning with any modification you read on the forum, such as back up, back up back up.

Look at the mod's folder and files. Make a note of them and their structure.
Locate the files in your store's server files. Delete those files.

Take your last saved store (folder and files) and upload those matching files.
If you have not modified any of those files, such as you have a new clean install, simply take the files out of the Zen packet of files.

Hopefully you made a back up of your database before you installed the mod.
Upload the back up copy of the database that you have before the mod was installed.

Backups were made but there is a flaw in my backup procedures. I backup all the files and the database then do the install and if all seems to work I move on. UNFORTUNATLEY, I did not find the problem till days later. The database backups are dated, however the site files backup is overwritten with the latest stuff each time I backup. :-(
I wish I could find someone who has this installed this mod and is using the apple zen template. That would tell me if they are incompatible or not.

Glad to hear some of you have gotten this mod to partially work by adding a custom directory. I tried this, deleted the create_account.php from includes/modules. Added it instead to includes/modules/custom but no go for me. I received an error message after doing this so I added it back.

I get confused with all the problems the few of us can have with this mod.
Which was yours, the sql patch or the referral not showing up in the admin/customers ?

Hey gogolf I'm confused myself!
My issues are when a customer registers and chooses a referral, it shows up in Admin, Customer, Referred as "None" each time. And if I check out referrals from within Admin, it shows not what the customer entered but "Other" instead.

Thanks,

Robyn

I'm clueless on the Zen application, php, sql, etc. I feel like I'm hacking a ball down a course I never played, in the dark, and though the fellow Zenner's who have played this course are trying their best to help the words just seem like crickets echoing in the back ground.

Maybe this might help you. If you go back to the beginning of this this thread you'll see the common errors that pop up related to making the sql changes to the database and the referral not appearing in admin.

I have yet to figure out why the sql patch does not install cleanly for me and others vs. others. I think that that problem relates to possibly a field or table already existing and/or simply syntax.

With regard to the field or table not being updated I found that putting a file in my "custom" folder worked for me.

I would suggest looking at your database and see if the values needed to post the referral names are listed there.

I think my problems with this mod are part my own (not understanding the Zen application and its languages) and simply the need for a better documentation with the mod.

I found the solution to get it to work for me required me to read all the posts to this thread again and again. Simply a lot of extra strokes.

After reading this message again, you didn't say how you fixed it. Did you use the files from the December version? If so which files?
