Anyone wanna help me test a module I purchased?

[laurahowes]

I want to state up front that this is NOT a problem with Zen Cart.
I purchased a Gift Registry module and I keep getting errors with it that the author cannot duplicate, and therefore it's hard to get to the bottom of the problem.

I'd like to see if anyone else can recreate this error... and if you do get the error, is there any information you could give me that would give me some insight as to what kind of an error it is so I have something to go on?

I usually get the error when on my site (www.lankylizards.com) and click on any random product and use the 'Add to Registry' link next to the 'Add to Cart' button. After this you will be prompted to login or create a registry... USUALLY after that I get an error message and cannot navigate through my entire site until I clear my cache/cookies.

Again, I know this forum is for support with Zen Cart, not paid add-ons, but I need to know if this error message is just me!!

TIA

Yes once you click Add to Registry you are then locked out of the site. And you need to clear cache.

But if you are logged in before clicking Add to Registry you are again given the login window and again locked out of the site. But this time once you log out the site is back.

1. The mod has no idea that you are logged in .
2. The url is wrong lankylizards.com/registry.php should look like lankylizards.com/index.php?main_page=registry

Lastly this link lankylizards.com/registry.php will not lock up the site and displays the page correctly. But don't use it because it will give a link lankylizards.com/registry.php?create=1 and lockup the site.

Good Luck
Hope that helped

Skip, thanks so much for taking the time to test this. I was beginning to think it was just me!

This mod places a folder named registry AND a file named registry.php at the root directory. So I don't know why those url would fail...

One thing I noticed is when clicking the 'Add to Registry' button, it puts a space in the generated url, between the item number and the word 'add'... don't know if this is a problem?

In any case, thank you for taking the time out...

If I remove the code for the currencies dropdown box in my header, no more error!

What could be causing the problem?

Code removed:

<?php #CURRENCIES START ?>
                                  
                                        <?php echo zen_draw_form('currencies', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get')?>
                        
                                        <?php
                                        
                                           if (isset($currencies) && is_object($currencies)) {
                                        
                                           reset($currencies->currencies);
                                             $currencies_array = array();
                                             while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies)) {
                                               $currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']);
                                              }
                                        
                                             $hidden_get_variables = '';
                                              reset($_GET);
                                              while (list($key, $value) = each($_GET)) {
                                               if ( ($key != 'currency') && ($key != zen_session_name()) && ($key != 'x') && ($key != 'y') ) {
                                                  $hidden_get_variables .= zen_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);
                                                }
                                              }
                                          }
                                        
                                        ?>
                                        <?php echo BOX_HEADING_CURRENCIES; ?> &nbsp; <?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], ' onchange="this.form.submit();"') . $hidden_get_variables . zen_hide_session_id()?></form>
                        
                                     <?php #CURRENCIES END ?>

Need to fix because I need to have other currencies available!
And need to use registry.

If you put the add to registry outside the form (i.e. after the "</form>" tag) in tpl_product_info_display.php, does it work?

[laurahowes]

No, same error.

[Richard.Tung]

When I tried your site... I clicked on the add to registry link but I did not register but, when I clicked on the back button I get an an error:


Error!
Unable to determine the page link!

[DrByte]

Error!
Unable to determine the page link!

That sort of error is a result of making a call to the zen_href_link() function with an invalid first parameter.
Perhaps evaluating all such references in the addon might be a good place to start.
Granted, the fact that it seems to hook something in the session that wants to do a redirect every time it hits the site after the root problem is once triggered (until browser cache is flushed or session expires), seems to suggest that whatever the error is may also be connected to something that might also be making a call to zen_redirect(). But I'd start by evaluating all the zen_href_link() calls in the addon first, double-checking that they're always being passed a valid (usable) value, and not blank strings or invalid page references.

If you are having problems with a purchased module - why are you not asking the author for help?

[laurahowes]

Hi Kim,

At first, the author could not repeat the error. I came here to see if anyone else was getting the error or if it was just me.
