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

[gogolf]

Thanks Gogolf for the reply. I believe one of my problems is that I have never been able to get the override system to work for me. So, I have no idea where to go from here.

I have never been able to figure it out, however somehow mine works.
If you read my threads again you'll find a post discussing over-ride system of which confuses me ; depending upon which FAQ or Help article you read.

Here it is again.

Read it and search the FAQ's and Help sections of Zen to other articles.

Thanks again Gogolf for the reply. I don't know how many articles I've read on this subject. I thought I had all the folders/directories in their proper place, etc. but still can't get it to work. I'll check out the link you have here and give it another try.

Thanks,
Robyn

[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]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.

Forgive my ignorance but...
There are two orders.php files in the following directories:
\admin
\admin\includes\languages\english
Do both get replaced?

I think I finally got it. All errors are gone, I HOPE.

Thank to everyone for your help!!!

Hello

I was also having this problem in /admin/order.php

I ended up doing the following;

1. Comment out lines 181 - 193

    }
  }

  if (($action == 'edit') && isset($_GET['oID'])) {
    $oID = zen_db_prepare_input($_GET['oID']);

    $orders = $db->Execute("select orders_id from " . TABLE_ORDERS . "
                            where orders_id = '" . (int)$oID . "'");

    $order_exists = true;
    if ($orders->RecordCount() <= 0) {
      $order_exists = false;
      $messageStack->add(sprintf(ERROR_ORDER_DOES_NOT_EXIST, $oID), 'error'); 

2. Comment out line 253 as it's a second declaration

include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order.php'); 

Hope this helps someone - and if anyone thinks I'm wrong p[lease let me know...

Thanks

Andy

We tried that too. Now try to create a new account now. I believe you will get a different error at the end of that process.

I will have to check my notes, but I believe putting the create_account.php in its proper location was step one and the second part of my probem was a second occurance of the orders.php file.

Just wanna thank everyone for their help. Whew! I finally got this mod to work.

Referrals now appear in my Admin, Customers, Referred by and also my Admin, Extras, Referrals. After using winmerge to do a comparison, I noticed my create_account.php files weren't identical. Once I got a match, I uploaded it to my server and everything started working.

Hope this helps someone else.

Hip Hip Hooray!

Robbyn,
Do you think you can remember all the steps you took to get the mod to work?

Were you able to get the "other" referral to show the text entered into the "other" textbox on customer signup? When I click the "other" link in admin/extras/referral sources it shows 0 of 0 even though there are 8 "other" referrals.

Also, you mention it appearing in admin/customers/referred by but I don't have anything like that, only 2 links in extras - referrals and referral sources. Have I missed something?

Thanks,

Matt
