138 mods tested on 139

Icons for Manufacturers - replaces drop down menu

I tried and failed.. nothing changes.. could it be me...?

It does change a file that has been changed for 139 but the changes are so tiny that minumul winmerging study is required.

Sidebox for list Manufacturers logos

works on ZC139.
untested on PHP5.3

original install instructions are not very clear! You need to follow http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=721644&postcount=6 to get it working.

UPDATE

Hi, todays update.. with special thanks to DivaVocals for it was a conversation with her that made me think things needed resorting.

sorry if i missed anything, please correct anything you find...!

thats me done for the day as i feel like i have been kicked in the head...

Login Spruce Up (tested by me, this rewrites the /admin/login.php which has changed in 139)
Though I haven't tested this yet, I do know that the Login Spruce Up mod is a cosmetic module which does NOT add or remove any default login functionality.. It simply makes the login page look pretty.. There would be NO reason why with a little extra review that you can't get this module to work with 1.3.9a.. Will post my suggests for how in the appropriate place, and post a link here later

This is NOT hard core programming at all.. this is simply looking at the three files and seeing what is going on and making the correct changes accordingly.. :smile:

DivaVocals:

(Initiative my friend.. not skill..):smile:

hahaha, yes dear... you may have the last word :P

Shane, you are doing an invaluable great job in compiling this list - here's a call to everyone: buy Shane a beer (or something...)

Judging by the amount Shane purports to Drink, I don't think we need buy him one.. perhaps a ticket to AA's !! :P:P:P:P:P

But yer, all jokes aside.... Fabulous job Ole' Chap..

I've just started the transfer from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9a and without this, I'd probably dived in head first, resulting in gaping wound, a fractured skull and remained lifeless for a week.!

For those Mods that are not (Yet) compatible for PHP 5.3 and or 1.3.9a, should we be giving the Mod Creator a gentle nudge and see what their stance is, as to whether they are intending to update it ?

**For those Mods that are not (Yet) compatible for PHP 5.3 and or 1.3.9a, should we be giving the Mod Creator a gentle nudge and see what their stance is, as to whether they are intending to update it ?**Some of these mods do not have active authors and/or have been maintained by the community.. so I'm not sure WHO you would gently nudge in the case of many of these mods.. For example IH2 doesn't have a "particular" author.. The last person who updated it simply compiled community posted changes, and is not necessarily "maintaining" the module.. The Login Spruce up mod hasn't been "maintained" in quite some time, and I'm not sure WHO you would contact at this point.. IMO the best course of action is to report compatibility issues in the support thread. Either the mod author or the community will do the rest usually..

DivaVocals:

.... IMO the best course of action is to report compatibility issues in the support thread. Either the mod author or the community will do the rest usually..

And isn't that the idea of open source? Someone develops a mod and someone else further develops that mod....

I entirely agree to keep this thread going and report compatibilities - positive or negative.

Thank you all for the updates everyone,

i will update the list 2moro asap
also spoke to Glenn and his mods should be PHP5.3 ready as they dont use ereg type stuff... also spoke to conor of CEON.net and he has a load of updates done for his mods (free and paid) to work with 139 and PHP5.3.. he will release when 100% finished.

so snowed under with the day job.. sorry

toodle loo

(like anyones gunna donate!.. but i do think that when people use free mods that should donate something, (no matter how small) to the author and a bit to the ZC founders.. its just a bit sh**ty to use peoples efforts and not repay them!!!)

Happy to report that Google Checkout V1.4.7 works with Zen Cart 1.3.9a PHP up to 5.2.13 (I don't have PHP 5.3 so I did not test it).

To make GCO work, follow the installation instructions for 1.3.8a but make sure you apply the changes manually to 1.3.9a files.

In my case it did not work because I had Prevent Spider Sessions set to TRUE on the admin side in Configurations - Sessions.

If this is set to TRUE GCO doesn't work. The work around this is to turn this to false which is a bad idea because spiders can now start sessions with this enabled.

An alternative option is to do the following: 1. Open up /googlecheckout/resonsehandler.php
2. Search for define('MODULE_PAYMENT_GOOGLECHECKOUT_MULTISOCKET', 'False');
3. Immediately below it add this: define('SESSION_BLOCK_SPIDERS','False');

It should look like this:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

// temporal disable of multisocket 
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_GOOGLECHECKOUT_MULTISOCKET', 'False');
define('SESSION_BLOCK_SPIDERS','False');

There is a suggestion to Search for error_reporting(E_ALL); and change it to error_reporting(0); to stop it from throwing errors. I did not make this change and haven't noticed any error yet.

You can also read up here (where I finally was able to figure out a way that work):

That's terrific news Isaac. Thanks for working it out and for sharing the solution with everyone.

You're welcome! If anybody needs help I'd be glad to assist. I spent more than 20 hours comparing files, trying all sorts of combination only to discover the simple solution.

I have tested all sorts of transactions on our site with Google Checkout but I did not test all international shipping options. I am however comfortable with Domestic (as in U.S.).

If you want to GCO in action, click on a link in my signature and add something to cart.

Thanks!

I found a mod that does not work w/ 139! Back Up My Site PHP found here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=881

To be sure it was ZC version and not user error (my installation), I installed fresh copies of 1.3.8 and 1.3.9 on the same server. Then I performed the same actions on each (rename admin folder, adjust chmod, etc).

Then I installed Back Up My Site PHP. I was successful with 138 but failed miserably with 139.

I consulted with someone much smarter than myself, she said:
++++
It appears as though you are missing a re-write rule or something similar. I checked the server and there is a file named backup_mysite.php, however it looks like the backup is attempting to pass it some options the site is not configured to use. I know wordpress does something similar with its index.html. Basically there may be some data you are missing from your .htaccess file. I also noticed you are using the latest version of Zen, perhaps that mod needs to be tweaked to work with it? The .htaccess files in the admin are different from the 1.3.8 version, I checked.++++

Has anybody figured a work around for this yet? I have searched everywhere!
