Auction Product Type

[dxhye]

by the way
It is zencart1.39h
i uninstall and reinstall the mod again
still only outbid email
anyone can help,please

[dxhye]

The current version is only an auction, the next will also include a 'make-an-offer', but none of them are designed to function as a daily sale event.... Lots of countdown clock code on the internet, you may be able to code one into the sale manager.

Just a little suggestion, can you make "make and offer" to be another separate mod?

Not sure of which version of the auction you have, so looking at 1.2a The outbid email is done by the header file when a bid is higher then the current active bid.

The close, Winner, and loser email is handled by the class file once the auction is closed. The includes\auto_loaders\config.auction.php runs on each page load and calls to includes\classes\class.productauction.php and it handles all the checks and emailing.... if that file is not running, then auctions never close, email never goes. Older versions used an edit to includes\application_top.php to call the class file and do the checks. If the auctions are closing, then the class is running and you may have something up with your email system...

Was thinking about it, but would have to fully create a new product type doubling the coding....

You are right friend!
when i click :> Auctions Manager
Even one auction is end
It still show :
Loser/Winner Email Sent? Auction Over
No No

Do you think it is 644 or 755's problem??
i use hostmonster hosting
i try to set all 755 but it doesn't work

How do you think i should revise it to make it work or can i set header file work for
The close, Winner, and loser email ?

i really need it work asap,and i don't know what to do

By the way, when one client bid on one item ,(not outbid,just bid)
if there is also an email notice??

If your server/php is setup right, should never have to go lower then 644 for files, 755 for folders....

Doesn't sound like the class is getting called to... Check that the CRON Job is off in Config>>Auction Manager (set to 0), and that the includes\auto_loaders\config.auction.php is in place if your running 1.2a

They only get an email if they are outbid, lose, win, or the auction never reached it's reserved price if set.

Have set Cron Job to 0 as you said
and also config.auction.php is still in place

But i change my admin folder name to be dxhye
(it mean when i click my backend,it will be http://mydomainname.com/dxhye )

Is it the problem?

Shouldn't affect it at all.

Dear
i just want to check again

when bid end
The email for loser or winner is sent immediately,automatically?

Or when some one visit the site page
Then the email for lose and win will be sent to??


As i find someone to fix this auction mod for me
He said according to yr design
when the auction end
the email for loser and winner will not sent automatically

When some other client visit any page of my site
then config.auction.php work and the class.productauction.php will send emails to the auction winner and loser

is it true?

The out bid is done by the bidding process.

The checks for closed auctions is done on page loads or CRON job
