It's Been A While - Things Have Changed

Glad to be back, it's been so long I think my old login got inactivated or something.

So the last version I worked with was V 1.5.5f and now I'm running on 1.5.8a and I see a lot of changes.

Many of the plugin's I had installed into the old version seem to be already incorporated into the newest version.

I see there are just a few plugin's listed ready when I just search for that 1.5.8a

One plugin I would like to add to my 1.5.8a is the "Custom Forms"

https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2210&styleid=2

It's a great tool and I was wondering if anyone has been able to install it on 1.5.8a with out issues.

Also, any other's that crossover without any issues would be nice to check out.

Thanks in advance.

Re: It's Been A While - Things Have Changed

two things would make me shy away from it.

It doesn't have a support forum and it is old enough that any form generator is probably going to fail.

You might consider using a commercial form generator like Wufoo if you need this functionality.

I would, but the client had built several (9) custom forms using the old Zencart V 1.5.5f it worked great for what they do.

Re: It's Been A While - Things Have Changed

I tried to install it on a test setup of 158a and other than one .htaccess overwrite it installed and ran the sql update no problem, the proper menu items show up in the right places.

So to create a New Form you click on an "ADD" button and it should bring me to a page to build the form but instead tosses me back to the Admin Home page and it tosses this error:

Attachment 20283

Here is the code in question:

Attachment 20284

Hoping to get past this and see what's next.

Thanks in advance again.

Re: It's Been A While - Things Have Changed

PHP is complaining about a missing (language?) constant being used on line 347 of (I'm guessing that script).

It's got me, it shows up in a couple of other scripts it came with and lines like it but with a different _END word before this one, at least seem to work.

Such a good script, it would be nice to get it working on 158a.
