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Yup, that is a bug that is fixed in the as yet unpublished v.98.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')";

Cheers!

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

I know what that is... There is a long story involved, but you can safely delete the class.productAuction.php file. It is no longer used

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!

Hi,

first of all.. thanks! I have been waiting for some updates last year unti i gave up. only today i found out that there is an update to the mod!

However, I've the old version 0.95 installed on my zencart 1.37 verson, which I still not intend to upgrade to v1.38 yet. worried.. i dunno how to upgrade. sigh..

but now my question is, if this v.98 (strange, still see v0.97 at the download section) can be used at zencart 1.37 version? how should i go about doing it? do i have to uninstall the old v.95 to install this new one? if yes, how to uninstall it?

finally, anyone try it with zencart 1.37?

i saw that the minimum bid increment has been set to 0.01, but in fact I think this should be changeable at the store owner level right? if we want a different minimum bid increment, how can I change that over at my end?

so many questions in my head that i dunno where to start yet.. sorry..

thanks,
nat

I think there are others that have tried my 0.97 (and a beta of 0.98) version on 1.3.7. There are only 2 files that overlay the base ZC code. They are listed in the install.txt file. Of you carefully move the auction related lines from my version of those modules to the 1.3.7 versions, AND overlay all the 0.95 version files with 0.98 AND do the update SQL it SHOULD work.

YOU CANNOT JUST DROP MY VERSIONS OF THOSE 2 FILES ON TOP OF 1.3.7 VERSIONS...

I have not tested this, but others in the forum who have might jump in.

Clearly you dont want to play with this on a production system....

The 0.01 increment is the MINIMUM. The auction item creation page allows you to set ANY increment you want, item by item.

I wanted to say thank you for this mod. It is working perfect for me on 1.38a.

I did want to say there was 2 things I noticed.

When I did install it and tested an auction. I was the first to bid on it and I got an Undeliverable email. It said that I was outbid on the website but I was the first bidder. I think it was trying to send to the last person that bid but since I was first it shouldnt have sent.

Is this a bug or just a quirk of my system?

Still waiting for the auction to end to test everything but thank you once again for the great work.
