Protx VSP Direct v2.0.0

This is a great module, I look forward to the next release with 3D secure in it.

You hard work is much appreciated, a donation has been made. :)

Hey, I'm looking to create a shopping cart / secure payment system using ProtX but I have little knowledge in it all.

I am at a decent level of PHP & MySQL so this is not a problem, but is this module something that can easily be used and altered to my exact needs?

Will be looking to donate if its what I need :)

Thanks!

You don't actually need any PHP/MySQL skills to use the module as it fully supports ZC's module/override system. CSS skills are useful though to add in the styles (As per the docs ;) ).

We are very close to being able to make version 3.0.0 available but in the meantime you can get version 2.0.4 by sending an e-mail to the address on the module's website and we get it off to you!

All the best...

Conor can I make a request for the next version please.

Can you switch the order in which Valid from and Exp Dates are shown in the mod to make the flow of the transaction more fluid.

TY

Hi,

dasonix:

Can you switch the order in which Valid from and Exp Dates are shown in the mod to make the flow of the transaction more fluid.

I can add that in as an option but it won't be the default behaviour.

The Start Date and Issue Number are optional and there are problems with Protx's systems if either are entered for certain Card Issuers' Visa/Mastercards so it necessary to display a message above the Start Date and Issue number if you want to notify the customer about these problems and avoid missed sales. For this reason the default order will stay optimised as it is for the display of this message and the re-enforcement of the fact that these details aren't always necessary.

If you have the order changed about you'll possibly have more customers experiencing problems as more will enter the start date but it's an easy option to add in so if you can confirm if you still want it I'll add it in! :D

All the best...

Conor

ok fair enough, TY for the reply

Thanks for the reply Conor.

Will the plugin work only with ZC or is it possible to use with a simple shopping cart I have created myself ?

As it would mean stripping down ZC to bare minimum as I only require a shopping cart with ProtX payment system, otherwise I will have to look into ProtX myself which I have no experience of.

Thanks

It's designed for Zen Cart of course.

You could rip the parts out of it you need to create your own protx payment system for your own cart but obviously it's up to you to do the work then. :P

One thing I would have to add is that the module as it stands is GPLed so you'd have to make your cart software available under the GPL also. Legally speaking of course.

All the best...

I'm wondering when the module will be available for download again?

(I'm making a site for a friend, and I've been somewhat stalled because of my failure to download the module when I started work.)

Hi,

Soon. :)

The modules are done but the documentation and website are holding things up. We're doing our best to get these finished up asap so we can release but they are taking quite some time.

In the meantime, as stated previously, please e-mail us at the contact e-mail address on the module's website and we'll send you the free/basic version of the module!

All the best...

Conor

Hi,

Is it possible to have a copy of the 2.0.4 version please?

I also wanted to make a donation for the brilliant Ceon Region Tables Shipping Module too (as promised) but I can't see how/where to do it - please advise.

Many thanks
Claire

Hi Claire,

If you look in the readme that comes with either of Conor's mods there is a PayPal link for donations.

You'll also find Conor's contact email there. Just drop him an line and he'll send you version 2.0.4

Regards

Brent

Great, have now done both!

Many thanks
Claire

Hi!

We're really pleased to announce that the free version of the module has been re-released and is now available for download...

Download from the module's website

This is probably the final version of the free version of the module and, as noted in the documentation, is unsupported.

Existing users of the module who accept Switch/Maestro should NOT upgrade!

All of the features added to this free version of the module are also present in the full version, version 3.0.0, so you should wait for it unless you don't need Switch/Maestro support.

Version 3.0.0 will be released shortly. We've been having no end of trouble getting a merchant account set up so we've had to temporarily shelve our plans for a new website for the module and will instead have to use paypal links (ugh!). Don't worry though, everything will be in place in good time for the Maestro 3D-Secure switchover!

The changes from 2.0.4 to 2.2.0 are as follows:

[ADDED] Ability to specify message about problems with Start Dates/Issue Numbers for particular cards added.
[ADDED] Configuration checks added to Languages Definitions file so that any currency configuration issues/conflicts can be highlighted in the admin.
[ADDED] Option to get the IP address used by the store's server added to help with the configuration of the VSP admin.
[UPDATED] Support for Switch/Maestro dropped for version 2.x as the changeover from Switch to Maestro in June 2007 means that Maestro cards will require 3D-Secure verification. Version 3.0.0, having full 3D-Secure support, will have full support for Maestro cards.
[UPDATED] Admin configuration keys kludged to implement nicely laid out configuration sections. Should help make configuring the module even clearer!
[UPDATED] Communication settings updated to allow for longer timeouts when contacting Protx and for verification of Protx's SSL host.
[UPDATED] Documentation updated to add a Configuration Section and to detail the new features.
[UPDATED] Length of Encryption Keyphrase restricted to 56 characters.
[BUGFIX] An attempt to send the delivery address is no longer made for orders which consist entirely of virtual products.
[BUGFIX] Handling of Protx's response updated to parse the data more reliably (as the response can be Base64 encoded, equals signs can be part of the actual value for a key/value pair).

All the best...

any news on the full version Conor?

Hi,

We've (hopefully) just managed to get a merchant account sorted so we'll be holding off releasing the module until that comes through. It could be as little as a week or as much as two, they aren't sure. It's not long now though so I appreciate your patience! :hug:

I think that given that, it might be a good idea to release the module to those who have already qualified for a free upgrade. I'll see to that over the next few days.

Sorry for the delays thus far!

All the best...

Conor

thank you m8, i cant wait, used my first 3d secure site tonight (tesco) and it looked good seeing it all work.

we also want to be the first in our sector to go 3d secure

Hi!

Apologies to all users of version 2.2.0.

A bug in the AVS/CV2 configuration setting was found which could cause any transaction to be reported as Malformed and therefore fail! :(

Version 2.2.1 has been released, ALL users of version 2.2.0 should upgrade!

The bug doesn't affect any other version of the module.

On other news, we'll be sending a few people version 3.0.0 this evening so they can start using 3D-Secure, in anticipation of us receiving a merchant account tomorrow and therefore being able to release the commercial version 3.0.0 at long last!

Sorry once again about the silly error (a small d instead of a capital D - argh!).

All the best...

Conor

Hi,

I'm receiving the following error message after order conformation:
1146 Table 'jaso3019_cart.TABLE_PROTX_DIRECT' doesn't exist

Hi,

ellis200200:

I'm receiving the following error message after order conformation:
1146 Table 'jaso3019_cart.TABLE_PROTX_DIRECT' doesn't exist
in:

The "TABLE_PROTX_DIRECT" indicates that you haven't copied all the files from the module across to your store properly. The file

includes/extra_datafiles/protx_direct_database_tables.php

at the very least is missing!

Hope that helps!

All the best...
