Auction Product Type

[arrow]

I should have given you more details. When I say the button don't appear, I mean that nothing appear in its place either. There is no square with a red "x" that would imply a broken link, there is no "BUTTON_IMAGE_AUCTION_BUY_NOW" written that would suggest a define problem. I checked the page source and saw no code there for a button to appear. By the way, all of this is with the option in Auction Manager turned on.

What I would need is the code that is supposed to display the button. That's where I think my issue is.

Sounds like the file did not upload all the way. You may need to upload tpl_product_auction_info_display.php once more. The following is the full section that deals with displaying the Buy Now button and price. If the full section is not used, you may have problems with it working right.
Lines 176-195

<?php
if (($products_buynow_price > $auction_current_bid) && ($products_buynow_price > 0)) {
  if (AUCTION_INFO_DISPLAY_BUY_NOW == '1') { ?>      

           <div class="productAuction biggerText"><?php echo BUY_NOW_PRICE; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $currencies->display_price($products_buynow_price,
                       zen_get_tax_rate($product_info->fields['products_tax_class_id'])); ?>&nbsp;
             <?php echo ((SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_IN_CART_QTY == '1' and $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart($_GET['products_id'])) ? PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT_IN_CART . $_SESSION['cart']->get_quantity($_GET['products_id']) : '&nbsp;'); ?>
             <?php
            if ($products_qty_box_status == '0' or $products_quantity_order_max== '1') {
              // hide the quantity box and default to 1
              $the_button = '<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('price', $products_buynow_price) . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_AUCTION_BUY_NOW, BUTTON_AUCTION_BUY_NOW_ALT);
            } else {
              // show the quantity box
              $the_button = PRODUCTS_QUANTITY_TO_BUY_NOW . '<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="' . (zen_get_buy_now_qty($_GET['products_id'])) . '" maxlength="6" size="4" /><br>' . zen_draw_hidden_field('price', $products_buynow_price) . zen_get_products_quantity_min_units_display((int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_AUCTION_BUY_NOW, BUTTON_AUCTION_BUY_NOW_ALT);
            }
            ?><br/><?php
            echo zen_get_buy_now_button_auction($_GET['products_id'], $the_button);
            ?>
           </div>

  <?php } } ?></form>

I guess I'm a bit confused, if this is missing, then you may have even more of the file missing.

I found what my problem was: I didn't allow the Auction product type to be added to the cart (duh!). The button appears now.

It now seems like the database did not update properly. I have a SQL error:
"1054 Unknown column 'bid_old_buynow_price' in 'field list'
in:
[update product_auction_extra set bid_old_buynow_price = **** where products_id = ****]".

This should be easier to solve.

... and it was. Turned out I had an old version of shopping_cart.php.

Everything seems to be all right now!

Look in;

\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\product_auction_info.php

For this define..

define('TEXT_AUCTION_TAG_LINE', 'Auction Sales, One of a kind products, new, and antiques up for sale.  Buy Now or compete for the item. ');

Hey guys,

Very interested in this module.
I've tried installing it on my local machine but when I go in to view a Auction-type product nothing shows up.


I'm not sure if I am using the correct configuration:

ZenCart 1.3.8
Running Xampp on Windows Vista with PHP5 and MySQL5.

Am I using the wrong version of Zencart, PHP or MySQL?

Many thanks in advance, Mark.

[marka]

I've also installed it on my webserver at: http://www.marka.com.au/zen/zencart/...d752d6d7c09958
You'll see if you select Test Auction nothing shows up.

Zen 1.3.8
PHP Version 5.2.6
MySQL 4.1.11
auction_product_type_1

Hi there, running into a couple of problems:

1) winner of the auction is not receiving emails
2) once auction is paid by the winner the Pay Now button keeps appearing there instead of the Sold button
3) the winner can't see the auctions he has won in his account area

Any way you could point me in the right direction for this???

Thanks!

Hello, hope all is well, I started a new site, bidsalad.com. I have managed to get most everything working and I am very happy with the auction product type mod. I have two questions, the first is when the pop up for auction help, a little box pops up, do I need to define it and if I do where? Also the images on the product pages are being cut off, do I need to upload them to a certain file? Any help would be great thanks! Here is a link: http://bidsalad.com/shop/index.php?m...&products_id=1
