Protx VSP Direct v2.0.0

HandcraftedUK:

I've just upgraded now - It was super easy!
I decided to move from Protx Forms to Protx Direct, so I paid the £50 and downloaded the module. Copied the files onto the sever and all was well.

I then installed the new Protx Direct module and immediately the Protx Forms and Protx Direct payment modules vanished from the Admin.

Renaming /includes/modules/payment/protx_direct.php to something else brought the protx forms back, but I don't to remove Forms until I get Direct working.

So what should I be doing?

Hi,

Unfortunately, you've messed up installing the software somehow... the two modules are autonomous from each other so installing one will have no effect on the other!

Please contact us via e-mail or the website so we can find out what you've done wrong and get it sorted for you.

All the best...

Sorted! I'd forgotten that the admin directory wasn't called admin, so the extra files were in the wrong place. Now seems to be OK, thanks.

An easy mistake to make... I knew it was something like that!

Really glad to hear you are up and running!

Have a good weekend!

Hi,

We've just received the latest information from Protx about the new system coming in on 1st August.

We will be releasing a new version of the module on 31st July.

We do not want to release before this as we don't want the confusion of having two different versions of the module available at the same time!

The new version will not be backwards compatible and will require a complete reinstall! Everyone using Maestro **must **upgrade or these cards will fail to work from 1st August!

This is an unavoidable consequence of the changes that Protx require (changing the code from SWITCH to MAESTRO).

Hopefully that answers any questions you may have had after reading Protx's latest announcement - as you can see you are well covered and will be fully supported!

The only thing that may be inconvenient is that everyone will have to update their versions of the module in the evening of the 31st July or first thing in the morning on the 1st August - Please set aside the time to do this.. it will only take 5 mins! :clap:

All the best...

Hi Conor,

Will you be releasing an updated version of the Protx form module as well?

This is the Protx Direct thread. :)

Anyway... yes. :)

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread! :oops:

Thanks for the reply though :smartalec:

Hi,

Got this message from another user of the module and thought it might be better to reply here...

Just saw your post on Zen Cart about the new version you guys are releasing - um am confused I actually thought that the 3D secure and switch - maestro was covered in the one I have just downloaded - is this NOT true? and what new measures from protx?

sorry I have not got any new warnings from protx other than 3d secure and switch so not sure what else this is talking about

It is true until 6AM on 1st August. Protx are changing their systems then and Maestro cards will no longer work with the current module.

We had no idea they'd be making this particular change until we were mailed this afternoon but wanted to reassure everyone that we are on top of it and, if you set aside the time to upgrade on 31st July/1st August, you can run your stores unaffected! :flex:

All the best...

Conor

Conor,

Is the update for the 1st August changes available from your shop now, or will it be later today?

Thanks

Hi,

Pixxi:

Is the update for the 1st August changes available from your shop now, or will it be later today?

It will be available this evening, at which point everyone subscribed to the mailing list will be e-mailed and a post made here.

I'd like one or two people to volunteer to test a Release Candidate this afternoon if possible (just for feedback purposes). If you'd like to please contact us using the contact form on the website (please don't put your request here, we will only send to private addresses and not through the ZC forums/PM). :clap:

All the best...

Conor

Thanks Conor,

Would the release candidate function Ok (right now) on live shops before Protx makes the 1st August changes (ie. wouldn't stop a live shop working this afternoon) - or are you looking for people to test using the Protx test server?

It won't stop live shops working, no.. UNLESS you are using the PREAUTH authorisation type.

All the best...

Hi Connor,

Any update on the new release ?

Not sure if i signed up for updates in the Ceon website, Is anyone else waiting on this ?

Regrads

Hi,

fantasticals:

Any update on the new release ?

Apologies for the delay, we were having severe problems with our test server today and couldn't understand what was going wrong with the latest version of the module as everything looked perfect. Eventually we discovered that all our code was in fact fine and that there is a bug in the PEAR MCrypt module. It was this bug which was causing all our problems - how frustrating, we could have released many hours ago otherwise!

Nevertheless, everything is sorted now and the module has been fully tested. As such, it is now available for download.

We recommend that everyone upgrades but we have discovered that all current users of version 3.0.x's stores will keep running fine with version 3.0.x, at least for the time being. Protx have allowed a grace period during which the old URLs and code for Maestro cards ('SWITCH'') will keep working. No information is available about when this grace period will end so you are advised to upgrade as soon as possible! :yes:

Our previous post about upgrading being essential was made on the misunderstanding that as of 6AM on 1st August Maestro cards would no longer work with 3.0.x. It is only users of older version of 2.x for which this is true. Please accept our apologies for our confusion in this regard!

Please note though that 3D-Secure is now compulsory for accepting Maestro cards... all users of older versions of this module which still had support for Switch/Maestro must disable that option in their admin now or upgrade to version 3.x (3.2.0 at the time of writing).

We've added a few nice extra features to the module as well as updating it for Protx's new systems. The changelog is as follows:

[UPDATED] Module updated with URLs for Protx's new systems.
[UPDATED] Support for new test card numbers and AVS/CV2 test values added.
[ADDED] Icons added for 3D-Secure message page.
[ADDED] Support for new Authenticate Transaction Mode added.
[REMOVED] Support for old Pre-Authorisation Transaction Mode removed.
[ADDED] “Cards Accepted” sidebox added to allow dynamic display of accepted card types even before the checkout stage.
[UPDATED] A warning is now displayed when one of the test Transaction Modes is being used.
[UPDATED] Documentation (FAQs) updated with information about manual installation of the necessary Blowfish encryption files.

Download 3.2.0

Enjoy the new version! :clap:

All the best...

Hi Conor

Thank you for this - can I just confirm, that this file is an upgrade to the previous 3.2.0 version? Sorry just want to check this is I have already installed 3.2.0

Thanks
Sarah

Dos anyone know if protx completed the upgrades? as I am getting errors from "payment server" ie protx with this new module - I presume that its protx upgrading and it took longer than 2 hours! just wondering if anyone else can get an order through?

Thanks Conor -- some great work again!! I think you've just released "probably the Best Protx Direct Contribution in the world!"... lol ;)

We are now upgrading our clients using DIRECT from 3.0.5 --> 3.2.0

It also looks like there is NO UPGRADE for those using FORM 2.0.1

Regards

Jamie

The module looks great (as usual) but ........

Am getting a bit concerned - Haven't been able to put an order through successfully yet, although Protx have taken the money.

The whole process takes a long time before the error message so must be the dreaded timeout problem with having to have safe mode on, but that has only been a problem twice in the last year or so.

Anyone else having similar problems?
