Gonewild,

Just getting back to this: I have no reference to Auction Manager anywhere, which suggests I have missed some install step, or the SQL patch has not worked. Any thoughts at all?

I found the link to Auction Manager - hidden by my toolbar. Got it installed, but major woes. I have read the archived discussion, but posted a new topic in this forum in the hope of getting a response. Not going well. I would appreciate any help in regard to my new topic, as I will have to abandon the exercise if I can't move pretty quickly.

Check the original auction thread in the archives. There are some files that are not in the auction install pack. You can either add the files to the correct folders or change the path in the script that calls for them. I don't remember exactly which files but I detailed how I solved the same problem in the old thread.

anyone have a workable action mod? I have d/l 3 and tryed them all and cant get them to work.right now i have product types installed and get this error=

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/comfies/public_html/index/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php on line 42

also the entire right side is missing. I have a virgin cart and just uploaded all of the action to the ftp and followed the rest of the instructuions.

thanks

winning bidder email...... anyyyyy fixes...anyone found out...

i did add the attributes to the auction as well as little fixes in the BUY NOW.

currently, trying to figure out how to fix the email notification.
also, when the customer win the auction and pay for it, it still show him the PAY NOW. i.e. he can buy(pay for) the auction twice...
any help is greatly appreciated...

The last upload version fixed most of the email problems. Maybe you do not have the newest version. You need "Zen-Auctions_93" (I think that was the latest). All the emails work for me except when a reserve price is used. Then the last bidder is notified as winner whether the reserve is met or not. Of course this is not OK. I don't know how to fix it and since I need the reserve price feature I have not been able to actually use the auction yet. I think as long as you don't use the reserve price the emails work a-ok.

i am using the latest... by manage-it (094)

the email isn't working for me. i have to use a reserve price for all my auctions.
i will give a try without a reserve price and see what happens..
p.s. you can send manual email to the winning bidder.

I don't know the version you have. What Zen version are you on 1.26 or 1.3?
I can't send a manual email because the auction closing email is tied into the outbid notice and sent at the close of auction automatically.
I'm not sure as well but when there are no bidders on a reserve auction the set of bidders from the previously closed auction are notified that they won or lost eventhough they never bid in the closing auction.

im not sure, but i think i found something about this email notification and it's relation to the reserve price...

in class.productAuction.php on line 51 & 52 we have:

$sql = "SELECT customers_id FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_AUCTION . "
WHERE customers_bid >= " . $auction->fields['bid_reserve_price'] . " ORDER BY customers_bid DESC LIMIT 1";

now notice that it compares customers_bid with bid_reserve price FROM Table_product_auction (i.e. table > zen_products_auctions in db)

but but but,
there's no bid_reserve_price in zen_products_auctions
bid_reserve_price is in table "zen_product_auction_extra"

thus, it comparing the customers_bid to nothing...

please look into it guys and let me know if im right or not... else i need couple more beers :lol:
p.s. if im right, i need help in sql to make it compare 2 fields in 2 different tables.

thanks

I have it installed but turned it off. It works perfectly for me except for the email problem when using reserve price. Without reserve price it does not fit our need at this time. If you want to see it I can turn it on for you and set up a test item. It would be great to get it working correctly. I'm good at finding problems but I don't know how to fix the email error and the aution mod developers seem to have gone away.

Great. pm me the url when you have it up and i'll take a look

another problem you have is you can outbid yourself, it doesn't hold your highest bid until needed (should the mod do this) like ebay does.

Would also be good if on the "your account" screen it showed what auctions you are bidding on and the status. Perhaps even a sidebox, so that when logged in the sidebox shows auction status.

Looking into it...

Being able to outbid yourself is part of not having the proxy bid feature. Whatever amount you bid is the bid amount. Since this is more like a real live auction, it can still work. but it will confuse bidders that are familiar with ebay.

Another problem is you can bid only .01 higher and become the high bidder. There should be a way to set bid minimum increments.

The side box is an excellent idea.

I hope you can get the bugs worked out!

I am using ZC 1.2.7d with auction_product_type_v0_95_12x

When I click add to cart before actually opening the auction page I get this error:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /hsphere/local/home/abyss/silkroadauctions.com/auction/includes/application_top.php on line 722

Hi,

When I convert a product to auction...it gives me this error message...

UPDATE zen_products SET products_type = 6 WHERE products_id = 2INSERT INTO product_auction_extra (products_id) VALUES (2)
1146 Table 'bet_zc1.product_auction_extra' doesn't exist
in:
[INSERT INTO product_auction_extra (products_id) VALUES (2)]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I am using zen cart 1.3.0.2

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Hi
I also have no Buy now button, can you tell me how you fixed it. Where do i need to edit.

Is there a way to make the bid price including VAT. as now when someone bids it adds VAT and thus they bid 5 and it says 5 + VAT%. Bit confusing for customers no?

Is there a way to copy an item from the normal store and link it to auction or at least copy it and then make it an Auction category.

plse Help

Thanks

Sorry It seems I have a buy now button . this however shows up on the page as the "Buy now Price" should this not be a button so if you want to buy it now you press it and you can buy the item? I do not know how this should work any ideas or comments

thanks

Rather confusing. I see there is a Buy Now Button .gif file. the switch that should turn this on in the admin panel works as it shows the Buy now price, but not the Buy Now "button" can anyone plse tell me how to rectify this.

Thanks

Hi all

I've installed this mod to my testing site on my PC. so far not too bad, but I can't try the email functions though cos it is installed on my PC and running through EasyPHP, no emails are sent..

I noticed one thing, when I try to Add Product where Product-Auction type is selected, when I reach the product creation page, I saw "Invalid Master Category ID" at the Product Master Category field. If I create a normal Product - General, there will be a number assigned to it and no such error message.

However, it still allow me to add in this product and the product does appear on my website for bidding. But at the product info page, I don't see the usual line talking about when this product is added to the catalog and when this auction is going to expire (small text at the bottom of the page). Strange thing is, these two lines are visible at the Product Preview page during the product creation step in the admin function.

Anyone encounter the same thing? any solution?

thanks!
