Auction Product Type

[gonewild]

gonewild your error listed the same table I had trouble with and that was Product_type_layout, so start there. Go into phpadmin and in your store's DB on the left find Product_type_layout, and click on it. That will bring up that table on the right. Scroll down the right side looking for any setting for Auction and delete it. Delete them all. Then go to the next table mentioned and do the same. Once you've gone thru the whole list of tables run the install sql and it should run without giving you an error.

Thanks, I found all the entries, deleted them and the sql ran correctly. Now I have the auction manager.

But I still have the problem with the Internal server error after the first bid is placed.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Gonewild, here is a post from April last year I had the same Server error:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...1&postcount=16

This worked for me on version .95 on Zencart 1.3.7, and at the time it fixed the Security Warning also. I don't know if it's being caused by the same thing but you can give it a shot.

Back then this also fixed the Security Warning. I'm getting that warning again, but only with FireFox.

If you try it let me know if it works.

I've just uploaded this mod to my site but get 404 errors when trying to add an auction item. SQL file was executed using the ZC SQL patch uploader. Auction settings in ZC admin and DB tables are all present. Any ideas and help will be appreciated.

It sounds like you may not have a "Product Type" for Auctions. Check under Catalog > Product Type and see if it's there.

Also, did you have an earlier version installed?

If you didn't get an error when you ran the SQL it should be there if it is try uploading the files again.

Product type is there. Is there a setting in the product type which I'm setting up incorrectly?

This is also my first zencart site so the version is also a clean install with just the template mod.

Check the error logs in your cpanel to see what page is being requested and not found.
The only time I got a 404 is when I had two "Products Type" for Auctions. I ran the uninstall for the new version, then deleted the other in phpmyadmin. Reinstalled and all was well.
As for the settings in the product type I don't think I changed anything in there.
I did create a category for auctions and set it to the Auction Product Type only.
Hope this helps.

Hey all,

What great progress on this mod!! Glad to see it has got to this level!
I am however stuck at this point - I am wanting to use the cron.php file but am confused at what the instructions are asking me to do with this.

If you change the value to 1, you MUST add a line to your crontab that looks like this: "php -f /YOUR STORE PATH/admin/cron.php >> /dev/null" and set it to run every few minutes... 5 should be fine

Thanks in advance,
Nick.

(BUMP!)... Still stuck with this one... any help?

Also with the YOU STORE PATH bit, is that the entire web address or what?

Cheers,
Nick.

Your store path is going to be something like

home/YOUR_ID/public_html/STORE

You can find this in your cpanel in the panel on the left.

Good Luck,
Gary

Cheers for that, only thing is where is my "Crontab" and where do I put that line?!?!?
