Apsona ShopAdmin - a free tool for import/mass update/reporting

Torvista, the changes for the config files would be different now as well.

The line in configure now reads ```php
/**

• Note about DIR_WS_ADMIN
• The DIR_WS_ADMIN value is now auto-detected.
• In the rare case where it cannot be detected properly, you can add your own DIR_WS_ADMIN definition below.
  */
  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/store_admin/');//steve apsona

So I added the fixed path there.  But the https admin is  now done differently. What did you do in the configure file? 

I'm fixing someone's aborted apsona installation but I think I've got the right files in place with the added 1.5.5 lines. Still getting that can't connect message though. I believe this is simply a new installation on a server where they were running apsona in another directory with success on an earlier version of zen cart.

I don't get this edit (which I had not seen).

if (!definedCOLOR=#007700) include ([/COLOR]'includes/defined_paths.php');//from Zen Cart 1.55
DIR_FS_CATALOG is defined in configure.php so is ALWAYS defined at this point irrespective of the Zen Cart version: defined_paths will never get loaded and so the Apsona page will not work.

So something needs to be tested for, that existed in configure 154 and not 155, such as DIR_WS_ADMIN:

if (!defined('DIR_WS_ADMIN')) include ('includes/defined_paths.php');//from Zen Cart 1.55

So to recap, in apsona_svc.php I have:

if (file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) {    
include ('includes/local/configure.php');} 
else {
include ('includes/configure.php');}

if (!defined('DIR_WS_ADMIN')) include ('includes/defined_paths.php');//from Zen Cart 1.55

require (DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'database_tables.php');
require ('apsona_config.php');
require ('apsona_functions.php');

I also do not agree with putting the DIR_WS_ADMIN in configure.php.
This seems to be as sticking plaster approach as this will allow other mods that rely on this to continue to work, instead of updating them to work with the ZC155 vanilla code.
I think mod code should be self contained and not need bits added to core code to make them work wherever possible.

okay, now I got it. And it's working now! And now I'll create a new package for download.

Thanks for these code patches! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to continue using Shopadmin after updating to 1.5.5, but now it is up and running. I really appreciate the contributions in this thread.

Has someone put together a .zip package with all the 1.5.5 patches applied so that others can have a simpler fix? I would upload it but I don't want to claim credit for any of the code changes.

The instructions need to be added for 1.5.5. If you can add that as well, and put it together right, let me know. I don't mind retrieving and vetting and reuploading if necessary. Haven't had time or energy to do it - 2 surgeries this year....

Where would i find this addon to work for 1.5.5 i was not able to get it to work? is there a zip file yet?

Thanks,

I got all the pieces - I'll get it packaged up as soon as I can.

Sounds Great too me I just started trying to use it I add around 500 shoulder patches at a time to my site was hoping for an easy idiot way to do it :) Still learning zen cart

All worked after I added this piece to apsona_svc.php

if (file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) {
include ('includes/local/configure.php');}
else {
include ('includes/configure.php');}

if (!defined('DIR_WS_ADMIN')) include ('includes/defined_paths.php');//from Zen Cart 1.55

require (DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'database_tables.php');
require ('apsona_config.php');
require ('apsona_functions.php');

now it works great!

Does someone have experience using Apsona to export customers from 1 store and import them to another? Whenever i do it matched adresses with Name, lastname, e-mailadres, postalcode etc.. with a slight difference and with an export that export for every adress (up til 5 are allowed in the adressbook) a new customer/line in the CSV i have now x times the amount of customers then i had; lol.

Best would be that apsona check ONLY on emailadres and just don't do an import when it exist in the database.

Hi I really need some help with this mod if possible. I have everything installed but all I get is the apsona header and nothing else. Ive checked the troubleshooter on apsona website and change the files to execuable and the aalow_url_fopen is set to on. My PHP is 5.5.26. The version of zen cart is 1.5.4. MY SQL Version is 5.5.52

Thanks

Is your ZC admin in a different language then English? If yes copy the files in the right language folder and if not try to check the language files from the apsona install folder

Hi,

It is English. I've just re-uploaded the apsonaShopAdmin file from the original download and still the same.:no:

Thanks :smile:

I have everything installed ...
Just to clarify, you used the updated code in the Plugins to overwrite what Apsona provides?

Yes, I have used the new files in the plugins

Thanks

I don't know your level of expertise so maybe i come up with things you already tried.
Do you use FileZilla? Are you sure all files are in the right directories and PHP files are uploaded in ASCII mode and images in Binary mode (FileZilla autodetect it)?
You tried the files from http://apsona.com/pages/ec/downloads.html and also from zen-cart.com (compare them?)
Is the SQL code inserted, check it in the database.

If this does not help i would make a ticket at Apsona (https://apsona.com/pages/ec/signup.html).

Don't bother Apsona, you wont get an answer. They stopped supporting it a long time ago and decided to do something profitable instead. So any support is here only.
I'm afraid you will have to do as suggested and recheck all the files, then go through this thread from the beginning to read about the various instances of your problem, which has been seen several times.
Apsona DOES work, I use it regularly and as far as I know, all patches created in this thread have been applied to the Plugins code.

Have you used ShopAdmin on a previous installation? Do you have a an Appsona ID ($APSONA_APP_ID)?

I have used Apsona before on an old site of mine and it was a simple install so don't know how this is going so wrong! grr
I used filezilla to upload all the files, although I don't know what you mean in ASCII mode? The databases look as though they have been created. I will try and compare the files.

Yes I have a Apsona ID and have applied.

I don't know if this is an indicator of what might be missing, but the links on the header also don't work, the Account Info, and contact us?!

Thanks for your help everyone! I don't like to be beaten and know how helpful this addon is so I will keep searching for the answer!

So i've now spoken with my hosting company and they believe it is a version conflict? Can anyone shed any light??
