I had the same problem, it was working fine in the Admin but nothing happened on the site. It's a simple mistake... Where the folder name is YOUR_TEMPLATE, you have to make sure that those files and folders end up in your specific template folders. Once I had the files and folders where they belong, everything worked perfectly. I'm very impressed. This is a nice mod and the ReadMe file is very well done.

if you need to remove this mod, the instructions in the read me file says just undo the changes. This is not true. My store has required a lot of work to remove it. Avoid unless you have lots of time on your hands especialy as the designer seems less than helpfull.

[s_mack]

Hmm... there's only one thing I can say to that.

JERK!

"less than helpful" my ######. I stated from the beginning that I designed it for a specific purpose and support wouldn't be given. There is an expectation that if YOU are modding YOUR site that YOU know what YOU are doing. It certainly isn't my fault that you can't follow directions or figure out things on your own or understand PHP. It very much IS as simple as reversing what you did.

Dumbass.

Understanding PHP????????????? reversing what you did?????????? Yupp that's all good Dumbass!

Provided that you have a working knowledge of PHP. My comment was aimed at the support that you give which as you stated is "NONE". If you do not have a working knowledge of PHP then as I stated it takes a bit of work to remove as you have edits in some of the core files. Therefore if you already have modified your zencart a simple re-tracing of your steps is not possible for the novice as it also includes some modifications to global templates if again you have modified your templates too.

So a simple re-trace your steps is not possible.

Sorry if I upset you Dumbass!

[s_mack]

Your lack of appreciation for a community which provides FREE software is what upsets me.

Of course a simple re-trace of your steps is possible. If you don't know what you're doing then proceed with caution and keep backups until you figure out what you're doing. That's not advice for my mod, it is for any mod. But bashing me for not holding your hand is ludicrous. Go pay someone and stop yer bitchin.

Hi, thrilled I found this mod by chance as it solves a problem I've been mulling over for days!

OK I'm no techi, but I've installed a couple of things on ZC already and managed to get them working.

I've looked through the entire thread, and tried the suggestions relating to tables not existing and descriptions, but I still get this error in the store. I've checked that I merged the files twice.

Looking at the error it might be to do with the Bestseller box? And the error appears where a sidebox would go. Sorry to sound stupid but this is the first time I've done anything involving the 'install sql patches' (seemed to work though, said it was successful).


1146 Table 'jasweene_zc2.products_description' doesn't exist
in:
[select distinct p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_ordered from zen_products p LEFT JOIN zen_hide_categories h ON (p.master_categories_id = h.categories_id), products_description pd WHERE (h.visibility_status < 2 OR h.visibility_status IS NULL) AND p.products_status = '1' and p.products_ordered > 0 and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' order by p.products_ordered desc, pd.products_name limit 10]

Anyone spot any glaringly obvious errors I've made to cause this?

Thanks in advance
Adele

I have this same problem. I removed the bestseller box files since I do not use the best seller box on my site. It worked after that.

I still have a few things to figure out though.

[s_mack]

In the readme, there are hints on how to edit sideboxes so that it works. There was no way to make the package work with every possible configuration, sorry. I'm not going to look at this code any more because once the new version of zen comes out it will be done in a completely different way.

s_mack I have a question for you that is very important.

I have uploaded all the files correctly, that I am sure of.

We have a pricegrabber page, and we want all the pricegrabber prices to go to the hidden product pages that have a discounted price.

For some reason, all our discounted prices are showing up on the products listing page. For instance, if you click adobe, you can see our regular price, and the discount price listed.

The category is set to hidden in the admin, and i've not had any issues except for this one.

Please let me know what I can do ASAP, or we will have alot of unhappy customers!
