Very cool

No, you didnt do anything wrong. There is clearly another module that needs to be changed to not print the name. I will need to track that down (along with the price thing). Both of which are probably small changes...

And here I thought I got this working

Cheers!

On the contrary, you have given NEW life to this mod, and revived hopes again.
so much more is working and this is all good

OK I am making progress..

I changed the code so that the current price shown in the summaries is the current high bid... I did this by updating the "starting price" each time the bid is raised. It made sense to me anyway. There is an odd side effect that I am tracking down, but I think we will be ok

I am looking at the pricing problem (0.35 vs 0.25) that you found. The funny thing is that if the bid reaches $1 all is well. I will figure it out sooner or later.

I am also working on a cron job. I really dont like the fact that EVERY page view of the store seaches for expired auctions. It isnt an efficient design, especially as that table starts to get large. I dont have that working yet. I know how to do with with a HUGE hack. I am trying to stay away from that.

stay tuned

morning :)

I am still having problems with the emails not going out. I am sure this is because I installed this new awesome auction mod over the old doesnt work so well one.

Is there a file that I can look in to compare to the new awesome auction mod that does work on my wholesale site to the one that the email doesnt work on in my retail site?

The rest is lovely as it is, but i cannot start auctions until i get that email issue worked out?

Thanks!!

This will depend on what else you did to your code base. If this is the ONLY mod you loaded, then the process is doable. If not, you are in for some work.

Install a fresh copy of zencart at 1.3.? (I think you are running 1.3.7) into a test directory somewhere. Then zip up the tree and download it to your desktop. No need to customize it.

Then zip up your non-email sending tree and download that

Then go get a copy of windiff.exe (i am assuming you are running windows) and tell it to compare directories and point it at the 2 directories...

You can tell it to filter out the identical files. What's left is what is different.

Mind you, my version of the mod is based on 1.3.8a BUT there are only 2 files that I touched that are modifications to the base code... application_top.php and shoppingcart.php (The base versions of those files are different so you CANT just drop one on top of the other and assume it will work.)

Then it is just work

Good luck!

ok, heres a strange question for ya :) When i set the time for auction to expire...say 11am my time.....it does not actually expire until one hour later and then the email saying you have won the auction comes one hour after that.

Anyway I can fix??

Thanks! the more I work with this mod the more I love it :)

Yup, that is a bug that is fixed in the as yet unpublished v.98. There is a "<" that should be a "<="

../PATH TO YOUR STORE/includes/classes/class.productauction.php

Line 27

Change
WHERE auction_closed = 'N' AND CURDATE() > bid_expire_date or (bid_expire_hour < " . date('H') . " and bid_expire_date = CURDATE() and auction_closed = 'N')";

TO:
WHERE auction_closed = 'N' AND (CURDATE() > bid_expire_date) or (bid_expire_hour <= " . date('H') . " and bid_expire_date = CURDATE() and auction_closed = 'N')";

Afternoon :)
ok, i added the = but I still have to add an hour.....anyway, its no biggy.

Two questions :) when do you think the new version will be available for download?

and

I found that i have TWO class.productauction.php files....
one is class.productAuction.php and the other is class.productauction.php
Am I supposed to have both??? or can I delete one? weird.....has to be something I did with the old mod and the new.....who knows? LOL

[bramnick]

I have uploaded V.98 of the auction mod. Hopefully it will clear customs soon.

PLEASE PLEASE read the install.txt file. There are DB changes and an optional cron job that you need to understand.

There are behavior changes. I like them, but you might not.

As always backup everything including the DB before playing with this. If you or any member of your team are caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of you action... Good luck Jim!
