Protx VSP Direct v2.0.0

Must complement Conor on his support for this module.

He sorted out the this bug very quickly for me, even though it was not his fault.

Many thanks Conor.

Keep up the good work.

Hi,

Another few hours, another release! :)

Versions 3.0.0-3.0.2 were found to give warnings on (naughty) servers that have safe_mode enabled.

Version 3.0.3 has been released to fix this. Check the website for more info.

PLEASE REMEMBER: Version 3.0.2 is a CRITICAL update, so if you're still on 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 please update!

All the best...

Conor

(And thanks Craig for the nice comments :) )

Hi,

Another small update of the module has been made. This fixes a small bug which only affects products with certain uncommon characters in their names. From the Revision History:

[BUGFIX] Code added to clean up the descriptions of line items when information about the cart's contents are sent to Protx. Should avoid any parsing problems due to illegal characters.
[UPDATED] Documentation updated with instructions on how to download the latest version of the module.

Upgrading does not require any reinstallation of the module so is quick and painless...

Downloading the Latest Version

To get the latest version of the module, log into your account in the store, go to “My Account” and then click the “View” button beside your Protx Direct order. The list of files you can download is displayed on this page and will always be a list of the most up-to-date versions of the files.

Also, the price of the Protx Direct module has been brought in line with that of Protx Form as its lower price was confusing some people and resulting in them purchasing the wrong module for their needs which created some problems for us logistically! :|

All the best...

Hi,

Yet another version has been released. This is not an essential upgrade, just a nicety.

The only change is the addition of a Version Information section to the Admin to aid identification of the currently installed version of the module.

We know that there have been lots of releases recently and that it may have been a lot to keep on top of... you can rest easy though...

There are no other known issues with the module so this may be the last release until Protx release their Authentication/Authorise Transaction Modes.

Hi Conor

I have just had details from protx regarding the 3D Secure stuff that is going live in a month - does your mod already cover the new stuff required?

Do you need me to forward you the PDF regarding it all?

Great support and great mod as always :)

thanks
Sarah

I'm not Conor, but I use the latest paid for version of the mod: 3.0.5.

And yes it does support 3DS.

If you don't want 3DS you can stay with the free version, and not take Maestro cards!!

Craig

CS - thank you :) does 3.0.5 work on older versions of Zen Cart though - does it matter if its not 1.3.7 version? as I have 1 or 2 older shops using the older versions?

Again I'm just a user, but the mod does support 3DS, and works 100%.

Hi

from the docs:
Zen Cart Versions: 1.2.x and 1.3.x

Conor supplies two versions, one for 1.2.x and one for 1.3.x.

I use 1.3.x version fine on my 1.3.6 shop.

SarahL:

...I have 1 or 2 older shops using the older versions?

Note: The licensing terms state you need to buy a licence for each shop.

Craig

Perfect thanks - and yes still using the free versions but am happy to switch to paid and yes will purchase for each shop I run :)

I've just upgraded now - It was super easy!!!!!! :smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:

Hi Conor,

A nice touch would be to have a configurable side-box with the Secured by Protx, Mastercard SecureCode, Verified by Visa, Cards accepted etc. etc. logos in it.

I modified one of the ones already in the downloads section for my store but it would be pretty good for new users if this came bundled.

Kind regards

Brent

PS. A note to everyone else. Don't forget to sign up for your Protx account via the link on Conor's site. You'll get his mod at a discounted price it also helps him. This is a win win situation. :D

Hi Brent,

That would be possible, even to the extent that it could use only the logos for the cards which are enabled in the Protx Direct module's admin configuration.

However, as with all Zen Cart payment modules, it is possible to enable the module only for particular zones. Should the sidebox then also be disabled if the customer currently logged in isn't in that zone? If so, which address should be checked to determine that if they haven't selected a shipping address yet?

If it was to be a sidebox which was displayed on a blanket level, that is, regardless of where the customer is from, to simply always be displayed, then it could be added and might be a nice option.

What does anyone else think? :huh:

Thanks for that Brent... that is true so hopefully someone will do this sometime! :)

I would go with that. Realistically the box just adds a more professional touch and we should also be advertising the fact our stores are 3D compliant.

Kind regards

Brent

I think Brent is right to actually, would be a nice touch.

Sorry I did not sign up via your link Conor, but I already had an account with Protx.

Craig

yeah most of us have accounts already :):)

yup i like the sound of this

conor:

As promised, those who donated after 18th April will receive a full credit against the module of the amount they donated - just have to get the gift certificate aspect of the store sorted!

That'll be up and running this afternoon so we'll get your certificate off to you then.

Hi Conor,

Are you automatically sending out certificates or is their a process we need to go through to get our certificate details?

Thanks,

Gushy

Hi

I am using protx direct 3.0 and have been trying to test, but errors have been being produced. Spoke to protx and it turns out that they have upgraded the test server. The details that you have to enter now are different.

Here is a link to the new test numbers you require which include address and postcode numerics.

A note to Conor : Due to this will it be possible to change the test data you supply at the top of the module in admin.

Regards
Laurie

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know about that.

Nice of Protx to make changes and not even tell their customers!

We'll upgrade the module at some point next week.

All the best...

Conor
