Make a full backup of your MySQL files and your bookshop, then add the files and SQL patches manually. It's very wise to do it all on a test program/database first. I use a WAMP package on my personal computer to test stuff before committing.

I'd like to display the ISBN, Author and Publisher similar to the one on this site near the image, how can I go about doing that?

i have a working book shop: www.symbolic-books.be

I'd like to display the ISBN, Author and Publisher similar to the one on this site near the image, how can I go about doing that?

I keep trying to get this module to work, but to no avail and I get errors with daily cron job I have setup. I have decided to back it out.

I could not find the uninstall SQL...Does anyone know where it is? I looked through files and could not find it.

I backed out all files and loaded original. Now, I am getting errors on my product page for:

PREV_NEXT_PRODUCT
TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL
TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT
TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER

I am not sure if these relate to SQL. I am not good at php.

Thanks, Kim

I've installled the mod several time and it ran perfectly for over a year. Fisrtly, the easiest way to test the mod is by running your store on a personal server like Wamp before committing.

Secondly, you should backup the database and Zen Cart before installing the mod. That's mentioned everywhere in the mod's docs, throughout this forum and in Zen Cart's docs. If the mod doesn't work, simply delete everything and reinstall the backups.

I'm not sure if you can delete the mod's database entries because it will also use some of Zen Cart's tables.

Although the file structure and documentation look complex, it's a very simple mod to install. I actually wrote a tutorial on it but I got sidetracked. I do intend publishing it one day, but don't know when that will be.

Thank you for the reply. And yes I did do backups and had it installed on wamp. Kept trying to work at it since issues were minor, but finally decided I could not fix. I reinstalled original files. But now getting the message above. That is why I thought maybe it was SQL. And SQL needed to be uninstalled.

Kim, like yourself I'm not into PHP, but those messages thinggys are appearing because the appropriate TEXT is missing from your language files. How that happened I can't say, but if you re-upload the original Zen Cart language files all should be okay. The problem with the module is a lack of documentation and we can't blame anyone for that.

If you give me a day or two, I'll see how far I got with the installation tutorial I was writing. If it's far enough advanced, I could send you a copy.

I will double check language files to make sure I loaded original. I just needed to know where to start. Thanks. And it would be great if you could send a copy of installation tutorial.

I am looking at this mod and would appreciate a copy of your installation tutorial.
