Reward Points Module for ZC v13x

[Mineralicious]

I installed this and have an issue with the sidebox not showing. It doesn't appear in the Layout Boxes Controller. I am very new to Zen Cart (well customizing it anyway) and cannot figure out how to fix this. Please help? I'm all trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance!

Ok, nevermind LOL As for help and ye shall figure it out yourself Now I just need to figure out how to set up the rest of it.

Any status change on releasing the fix for attributes with different pricing than the base item? I think you said the fix was coded a few weeks ago but was waiting on the Paypal fix to release. I don't use Paypal but I am having the attribute problem. There are probably several others with the same problem.

Thanks
Ken

Sorry I've been out f touch guys- A big part of my job (non web related) kicked in and I spent the last 2 weeks hanging off the side of buildings installing very expensive GNSS (GPS) receivers.

But I'm back now and starting to go through all the posts. I have a new version of the mod ready which clears some of the bugs reported and has the attribute issue solved. I didn't update before going into the field because I knew I would not be anywhere near an internet connection and therefore would not be able to offer any help if things went pear-shaped. I'll post it to contribs this afternoon. If anyone has had problems since my last post can they please try out the new version and let me know if the fault persists- Hopefully that will make life a little easier on me clearing out the backlog...

Thanks

When you go to admin/Catalog/Reward points and change the Set Global Reward Point ratio (in either fields), or even just press 'Update' it ERASES the value set in Customers/Group Reward Points Redeem - Enter global points ratio. It does NOT erase the Group points ratio if you have any groups set up just the Global.

As soon as you enter a value into “Enter global points ratio” it resets the Set Global Reward Point ratio to the default 1.000. So you have a circular problem.

(I was trying to test a promo option of double points on purchases on a particular date so I was fiddling with the Global Reward Point ratio in the Catalog.)

I have no idea why this I happening just that it is. And it could explain why some people were reporting the point values being reset to 0$.

Okay, got that problem- Turns out I was using a REPLACE INTO when I should have been using an INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY. I've corrected it and it's in v1.12a which I've just uploaded to the contributions.

Thanks.

I was just testing out the module, it everything seems just great so far, but for one thing. Im using Price updater which interns work with attributes pricing so that when a customer chooses a attribute with a price it upates the main price.

Now the problem is and i do not know if it is suppose to do this, but when the price changes when you select a attribute with a additional charge, for example: graphics card, Base price 300.00 you have two attributes one for model and memory.

Now there is a additional charge for upgrading the model to premium 100.00
and a additional charge for upgrading the memory lets say 16mb 70.00

you have just upgraded 170.00 to be added to the base price of 300.00 you have 470.00 in your cart. Should the rewards points be updated to show that instead of just going of the base price.

if it should do that how do i get it to work, and if it doesnt is there away to get the two to work together so that it does. if i was a customer i would want the points for the upgrades i just made. The only thing i can see happending on my end is to manually update there reward points from the admin, but that would be time consuming if you have a lot of orders. Im not a coder im trying to learning this php and zencart thing. Can this be done and if so how or can someone take a look into it.

Thank you for a great mod.

I updated to the new version 1-12a and found the following:

- attribute fix seems to work fine

- Google Checkout still broke

- unneeded file included which makes zen cart blowup

includes/auto_loaders/config.reward_points.core.php

complains it cant be defined twice (deleted file)

- comments left in file cause login to display error

includes/classes/observers/class.reward_points.php

removed comments:

echo 'Reward Points notifier called!!!<br>'; (line 18)
echo echo 'NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL called!!!<br>'; (line 25)

Otherwise seems to work fine

Thanks
Ken

I haven't had a chance to look at Google Checkout

- unneeded file included which makes zen cart blowup

includes/auto_loaders/config.reward_points.core.php

The config.reward_points.core.php is the same file but has been renamed to fit in with the ZenCart schema. Delete (or rename) config.reward_points.php

- comments left in file cause login to display error

includes/classes/observers/class.reward_points.php

removed comments:

echo 'Reward Points notifier called!!!<br>'; (line 18)
echo echo 'NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL called!!!<br>'; (line 25)

Thanks for that, that was some debug code left over from when I was trying to solved the PayPal IPN issue.

I have posted a fixed version to contribs (v1.12b).
