Music Samples with Media Manager

Hi, I've just started offering MP3s for sale on my site and would like to give samples for customers to listen to. I've followed all the steps in the manual using Media Manager and everything seems fine all the way up to assigning the collection to a product. Unlike other threads I've read on this problem, I do get both dropdown boxes and can select the product I want to assign it to, but when I click "Add", it just directs me back to the homepage. When I check Media Manager again, the collection has not been linked to a product. Needless to say, nothing shows up on the product page. Thanks for any clues!

It's a bug in v1.3.9h.

For solution, see http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168587

Thank you, I was so relieved to see the fix, then when I went to the file indicated
(/admin/includes/init_includes/init_sessions.php file.
On line 40 you'll see a line that starts like this)Line 40 had nothing like that, in fact there is nothing remotely resembling that content in the whole file. ? any ideas?

Line 40 reads:

  if (strpos ( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_PRODUCTS_PRICE_MANAGER ) === FALSE && strpos ( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_NAME ) === FALSE && (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_CURRENCIES ) === FALSE) && (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_LANGUAGES ) === FALSE) && (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_SPECIALS ) === FALSE)&& (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_FEATURED ) === FALSE)&& (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_SALEMAKER ) === FALSE))

Change to read:

  if (strpos($PHP_SELF, FILENAME_MEDIA_MANAGER)===FALSE && strpos ( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_PRODUCTS_PRICE_MANAGER ) === FALSE && strpos ( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_NAME ) === FALSE && (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_CURRENCIES ) === FALSE) && (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_LANGUAGES ) === FALSE) && (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_SPECIALS ) === FALSE)&& (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_FEATURED ) === FALSE)&& (strpos( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_SALEMAKER ) === FALSE))

If you do not have this, check your file is current and up to date ...

My site says I am currently using: v1.3.9h

This is the file: home/artbylow/public_html/shopping/includes/init_includes/init_sessions.php

This is line 40: $domainPrefix = (!defined('SESSION_ADD_PERIOD_PREFIX') || SESSION_ADD_PERIOD_PREFIX == 'True') ? '.' : '';

There is nothing like the referred line in this file.
How do I re-install, if that's what you recommend? or should I upgrade to the latest version?
I assume I should just backup my overide files. :frusty:

Any ideas? Anyone?

This is what the file looks like, the lines in RED where changed for this fix:

Would you recommend I put the other file in an overide folder, or paste in the missing lines?

The confusion is, the file that needs to be changed is:
/your_secret_admin/includes/init_includes/init_sessions.php

You are looking at your catalog file ...

Go look at the correct file to make the changes ...

NOTE: there are no override files for the Admin ...

That was it! Whoopee!:clap: Works perfectly now.
Muchas , Muchas Gracias!

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this is now working for you ... :smile:
