Reward Points Module for ZC v13x

[patrick24601]

Thanks. But you don't have to do anything with that do you? That comes set to zero. I've checked it 100 times. 0 means always display it.

which Order total modules do you have installed

[ChrisR]

I've since installed zencart and this module but I am having some issues:

1. That box showing the number of available points is not showing up anyplace in the shopping cart. I've validated that the box modules is uploaded in the correct folder /public_html/includes/modules/sideboxes/custom. The option to show it and in what order is also not appearing in admin.

2. On my system points are not being deducted after an order is complete. Should they be ?

3. How do I turn off points being earned? Does not make sense to earn and use points. Our cart will be mainly points based.

4. How do I show the point value of an item instead of the cash value?

Most other reward functions appear to be working.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
I see you have loaded the template into the custom directory. Have you tried puttung these files in the normal place and not into custom. As far as i know when you put it in custom you then also need to change your template to use custom else it will just use the normal dir structure. So if you copy everything you have in your custome dir to template default sideboxes perhaps this will be the fix.

Response 1
I have only the out of the box order module installed. Brand new install.

Response 2
Right now they are in sideboxes/classic. I think that is the theme I am using. the options for those boxes are now show up in the admin area layout controller. But the boxes themselves are not showing up.

Thanks for looking everybody. It seems I am close - those boxes would be nice though so when people sign in they can immediately see how many points they have to shop with.

i made a clean install of zen cart and changed all custom dir in the reward points add on to classic. Copied them directly to the cart.
Once i did the sql update and turned the boxes on in the admin they showed 1st time without having to do anything else. When i log in i also get the other box showing me the customer points earned.
So not sure why youirs does not come up staright away.

Thanks.

1. I wish the directions would say something about copying that custom stuff to a special folder and not just uploading it as is

2. I did the exact same thing you did yesterday with no luck at all.

I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling again.

I know you are still new and therefore might have made certain assumptions but it is standard practice to name directories "CUSTOM" or even "YOUR_TEMPLATE".

These names are used to indicate to you that the files contained within must be go to your custom template directory name (maintaining the balance of the directory structure of course)

[patrick24601]

Thanks. Even if I was experienced and know that I would not have seen that because in my FTP client I right clicked on the parent folder and clicked UPLOAD. It uploaded everything into the correct path (as far as I knew). I had to go digging later and realized that a child child folder had been uploaded called custom and that it needed special handling.

So still a note in the directions of any of the plugins that said 'Make sure after you upload everything you dig into any child folders and move the files in the CUSTOM folder to the appropriate places'. Or possibly an indication that a particular plug in has a custom folder. That may no be obvious from just downloading and extracting.

It would not hurt anything to add it. If I've made this mistake others have probably made it in the past, and others will make it in the future. Why not add a line of text or two to prevent this particular issue from happening to someone else in the future?

I am trying to contribute. If I need to I'll add it to the plug in. Am I allowed to mod that and re upload it to the repository?

Everything appears to be working, I am getting no errors. However, the points always show 0 and never earned when I have placed test orders. The config is filled out.

Okay, so the points are adding now... but during checkout, there is no option to use the reward points as payment/apply points. (checkout_payment)
