Auction Product Type

[bramnick]

Sorry MCC - I clearly was confused... I cant think of why the mods would break the 1.3.7 mail. I didnt do anything to that package that touched the email. My test system DOES generate emails for OUTBID at the time of the OUTBID. It generates a WIN and LOSE message when someone looks at the page after the expiration time (which is annoying). Mine does NOT generate email when you place an initial BID (which is also annoying).

If I come across something, I will be sure to post it to you... I assume that a migration to the current code base isnt an easy option for you.

I deleted all the files related to this mod and restored the original files which were changed. I also deleted the db tables associated with this mod.

However, the 2 products which I had set as an auction product can't be viewd in the catalog and can't be deleted even though they exist in the admin.

How do I get rid of them and the admin>configuration>auction manager form my admin?

Thank you.

Interesting... sounds like a DB data problem.

The auction product does create a couple of new tables, but it also adds stuff to existing tables. I think there is where the problem is.

The way I would do it is by carefully removing the products from the "products" table. If you are NOT comfortable diddling directly with the DB (or finding someone who is) you will need to uninstall the product and DB and reinstall the base ZC then install the mod ontop.


Since this is a test system I am sure ;-) the easiest thing to do is uninstall the whole thing and start again. I do that on a fairly regular basis these days.

I would tend to agree with that...
I have found on several mods that the installation was dependent on the table prefix standard of zen_ , and during installation of the cart a different prefix was chosen, so I then found the files that were making calls to the DB looking for zen_ and changed them to the one that was being used.
Mostly it will throw a sql error and it makes it very easy to locate and fix the problem.

ok, what i did was to use all of bramnick files, except that I used the original
./includes/application_top.php
./includes/classes/shopping_cart.php
from the 0.95 release for zen v 1.3.7, all seems to work fine, so far, so my question is this, can the "Buy It Now" feature be removed once a bid is made?

Hey Bramnick, no apologies necessary! :) you are much in demand here so easy to get confused.

The clean install on my zen worked well (wholesale site) its the install over the old install (retail site) that I am having issue with. Maybe I will have to break out winmerge and compare to see if some code on my old one was changed? I would think the new one would over write, but I am not good at this stuff. Scares me to death...ROFL

Thanks again though......i love the way you updated the mod. Good job!!

I MUST agree with mooncavecrystals,
you have done great things here and you are very much appreciated, so
Thank you Bramnick

ok, this is out of my comfort zone, but........
how exactly does one uninstall something? Am thinking I would want to uninstall the old auction stuff and keep the new stuff? or uninstall the old auction stuff and reinstall the new?

This is way over my head.......LOL

Andy,
I dont think that would be too hard, but is that really what everyone would want?? It might make sense to hide the Buy it Now button once the bid price reaches the Buy it Now price since that button would be a problem (we wouldnt want someone Buying it Now for $10 if the current bid is now $11!).

I will have to think about this one...

Good idea

Which version to you have installed? If it is 0.95, then you need a small change to the DB to upgrade you to 0.97. I posted a the SQL earlier in this forum.

Other than that, the 0.97 should drop right on top of the 0.95 version

I will warn you that the 0.95 package had a lot of extra stuff in it. I removed what I didnt need which made it much smaller. Leaving the extra files around wont hurt anything, but trash is trash, so I understand why you want to remove it.

So... In summary
to get from 0.95 to 0.97 is a small DB change (see earlier posting) AND then drop the existing 0.97 files on top of 0.95 files. (After you backup everything including the DB and try this out on a test system of course)

yea, that would work just great!
hide the Buy it Now button once the bid price reaches the Buy it Now price.
wait till everyone finds out about the update, might get real busy here in this thread.
I started looking at this in October 2007, and almost gave up on it, so glad you decided to do this.....
