Hi,

This might help you out http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=140960

Edit: - Sorry I just noticed that you patched. My bad. Sorry I can't be of assistance.

Check the setting for admin>configuration>my store>store status

What is your Store Status
0= Normal Store
1= Showcase no prices
2= Showcase with prices

I've just checked : Status 0= Normal Store

What should I do .. please , some hints :no:

After some debug I discovered this errors on log

[06-Feb-2010 14:42:36] PHP Warning: round() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /balblabla/includes/functions/functions_general.php on line 176
[06-Feb-2010 14:42:36] PHP Warning: round() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /blabla/includes/functions/functions_general.php on line 176
[06-Feb-2010 14:42:36] PHP Warning: number_format() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /blabla/includes/classes/currencies.php on line 53

this is line 53 :

$format_string = $this->currencies[$currency_type]['symbol_left'] . number_format(zen_round($number * $rate, $this->currencies[$currency_type]['decimal_places']), $this->currencies[$currency_type]['decimal_places'], $this->currencies[$currency_type]['decimal_point'], $this->currencies[$currency_type]['thousands_point']) . $this->currencies[$currency_type]['symbol_right'];  

and this is line 176

$number = round($number, $precision);

I put all my hopes on you guys :bigups:

All those errors are pointing to the likelihood that you have custom code that's sending bad pricing data to the pricing calculation and currency formatting functions.
So, either you have bad data in your database (could be caused by a bad product-import addon) or you have an addon that's not doing things properly.

I checked the prices in the database it seems ok .
Where else should I start to look for ?

thx

I don't know exactly. A brand new clean install doesn't exhibit the problem you're describing, so I guess it's best to identify everything that's different between your site and a brand new clean uncustomized site.

After some hours of deep inside debug I think have somethig :

function display_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
return $this->format(zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax) * $quantity);
}

the result of the function zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax) is null . Where this function is defined ?

zen_add_tax operates on the price and tax parameters you pass to it. What information are you passing?

Also, what currencies do you have defined? What have you set for decimal places on each of those currencies? and why?
Is this problem isolated to just one currency? Which one? What's unique about that one compared to the others?

You've not answered the question about what addons you have installed etc.

Additionally, have you checked to be sure that ALL of your files transferred (FTP) properly without errors and that all of them are complete, and not partially damaged due to a communications timeout during transfer?
And are you sure that all the database content was properly exported and then imported without errors on either end?
Any of those things could result in corruption of the data being passed back and forth, and thus producing the obscure error you are reporting.

Today's tests :

I installed a virtual machine ( mysql 5.1.42 and php 5.2.12 ) and then I cloned my live environment on this . Working like a charm !. I used the same ftp files so can't talk about corruption . My live enviroment configuration is mysql 4.1.22 and php 5.2.8 .

Now, on my php 5.3.1 and mysql 5.1.42 machine I still have serious problems : No prices displayed out ( default zencart template also , give me same issue ) , strange characters on some pages ( last())?> ) ...

Well the main difference between 3 environments is php . The wierd think is that when I did a fresh installed zencart on php 5.3.1 sistem everythink was ok ( after 5.3 patch to avoid the blank page ) , then I import the live sistem database and same problem gain .

I hope the provider will never upgrade to php 5.3 :cry:

Ps : I have many modules installed , and maybe one of this is not compatible with php 5.3

Must be that, since I can't replicate the problems you describe on a clean install.

I just noticed I was having the exact same problem on my live 3.8 site after applying the php 5.3 patch. No prices displayd at all.

I use 4 currencies, and noticed in the Admin -> Localization -> Currencies ...that my base currency was somehow missing the demarcations for Decimal Point: Thousands Point: and Decimal Places:

So I re-enterd these with "." "," and "2" and voila, the prices where displayed again and everything seems to be working properly. :yes:

Seems almost to easy, but you never know. Sometimes it's hard to see what's right in front of your nose.

It works ! thank you so much

I was having the same problem on a site that's been up for over 2 years, and thought it was my web host. It had happened the other day and I was able to rectify it by importing the database I had backed up the day before. Doing so did not help today, though. And, after trying too many things to mention, my web host directed me here:

For some reason, my currencies were messed up. As soon as I updated them, my problem was solved. Unfortunately, my keyword searches weren't exact enough to find it on my own.

I'm blaming it all on Mercury retrograde, as this is when the problem began...lol :frusty:
