WorldPay Module version 2.0 - Support thread

[Ooba_Scott]

Hi Guys, sorry i havnt been active on this thread recently, work has been manic.

I have fixed my worldpay callback pages, by using aboslute URL's and removing the left/right hand columns (as they contain images), and also removing the footer as this also has an image.

I personally think this looks fine for me and im happy to have it like that.

I just now need to remember to replicate it on a new clients zen shop as he also has worldpay and he was unaware of all these changes happening at worldpay end

I just need to make sure i remember what changes i have made etc haha.

Phillip just gotta say i think you are doing a grand job as always!

Ha, what job, I'm just waiting, If they leave the tag in, then this whole discussion's been for nothing but I may just close the module anyway as I can't think of a reason to leave it running. When ZC 2.0 comes along the module would have to be re-written anyway.

If they don't leave the module in, I expect I'll get one or two sites repaired while a lot of people leave worldpay when they find out what has happened, or those people will get ripped off and charged far too much money for a repair to their website.

Want a competition ? I reckon I can fix the pages in 45 minutes on your client's website, that the pages will never throw an error and look identical to how they were before and include all images (my test program identifies the key points in the entire site ), no it's not really fair is it ?

haha no i think you would beat me to it......

Gotta update the client to the latest version of ZC, and patches and your latest module release as their previous guys havnt been keeping it uptodate

Have got a question, which you could probably answer me straight away....

Why do we need the base href tag anyway?
If you remove the base href tag, then the site will work fine anyway (obviously not in worldpay, as it needs it to be absolute urls), but on a general ZC site you dont need it surely?

It depends "normally" on a ZC site it wouldn't be needed.

Occasionally you have some strange mod_rewrite rules.

Very very occasionally you have a linked in stylesheet that has an image in it, or includes other stylesheets. If one wanted to extend Zencart by using jQuery themes, then it would be very beneficial as the themes are built from one core file that needs to know where everything is, and css files only put in one request per item, whereas php could go "well if it's not there, then try...."

For the majority, you are correct, then you get the person that redirects their site from http://www.example.com/ using mod_rewrite incorrectly to http://www.example.com/store/index.php and the images are looking for http://www.example.com/ (because the URL hasn't got the store bit in it) when they are supposed to be finding them in http://www.example.com/store/ putting the base href at http://www.example.com/store/ stops that
