Auction Product Type

gonewild:

} ?> is missing from line470 in /collect_info.php

:oops:

I am really sorry about that folks... I have no idea how the line got trimmed from my library copy of the code.

Here is the "official" fix

Module: admin/includes/modules/product_auction/collect_info.php

There is a line MISSING after line 474:
} ?>

current BAD code at line 474:
echo zen_draw_textarea_field('products_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'soft', '100%', '20', (isset($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']])) ? stripslashes($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']]) : zen_get_products_description($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id'])); //,'id="'.'products_description' . $languages[$i]['id'] . '"');
</td>

Correct code at line 474:
echo zen_draw_textarea_field('products_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'soft', '100%', '20', (isset($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']])) ? stripslashes($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']]) : zen_get_products_description($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id'])); //,'id="'.'products_description' . $languages[$i]['id'] . '"');
** } ?>**
</td>

Again my apologies....

I will upload 99.a today

I have managed to get this to work now, but i now get the following error when i go the the installed product.

Do you know what it can be.

1146 Table 'corbeau_shop.TABLE_PRODUCT_AUCTION_EXTRA' doesn't exist
...

That means that the SQL patch didnt install or at least some of it didnt install.

If you run the uninstall SQL code in the 99a bundle it should back all the SQL changes for the mod out. You might get errors (like if it tries to delete a table that isnt there) but that is OK.

THEN reinstall the SQL patches via the SQL Patch tool off the admin screen.

If you get errors saying you dont have permission to run the patch.php file, you have issues with the zen-cart installation in general and that is beyond the topic of this forum thread to resolve.

If you cannot write to the DB tables, then you might not have RW permission for the DB user you are using to access the zen-cart tables (also beyond the scope of this forum thread).

The server error was my fault. .99a should fix that.

Happy Zenning!

Do you have any suggestions for this error:

The first bid on an item returns a server error page. Clicking the back button returns to the auction page and shows the bid placed correctly. My server error log shows this error:

[error] [client ] malformed header from script. Bad header=No recipient addresses found : /var/chroot/home/content/f/o/r/forgottenwoods/html/index.php

The second and all following bids all function correctly.

I have a problem NO MAIL :shocking:

Email Error: can`t mail functie not initialiseren.

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no
delivery could be attempted.

I think version 99a has worked for me, Inow have the description box available which i didnt before, and I got it installed without an error codes. One question though, actually two questions, I dont have the buy it now option showing on the product, and also when I got an out bid email it got delivered with the subject as mail Failure - no recipient addresses, is it possible to change that to something like outbid notice.

Thanks
Ben

try using sendmail, phpmail isnt a practical choice if you need to send out large amounts of email anyway. this has always resolved my problems.
and for the member that had sql troubles,
I have found that using admin function of applying a sql patch will add the table prefix to the patch when in actuality the mod is looking for its table,
example
the table gets named "zen_my_new_table", the mod is looking for
just "my_new_table"
a quick way to fix this is go to phpmyadmin and run the sql there

Is it normal that the buy it now option doesnt appear in the auction listings.

Thanks

Did you enter a buy it now price when you created the listing?

I didn't see a problem not finding it's table. If it is, check out the includes/extra_datafiles/product_auctions.php it should have a table prefix.. as below.

define('TABLE_PRODUCTS_AUCTION', [B]DB_PREFIX[/B] . 'products_auctions');
define('TABLE_PRODUCT_AUCTION_EXTRA', [B]DB_PREFIX[/B] . 'product_auction_extra');

Yes I did enter the buy now price, im assuming from your reply that the buy it now optio should be working. Any idea why mine is not working?

I may have solved the secret of the phantom BID NOW button. I seem to have detected yet another source control problem and the missing code in the library just happens to be related to BID NOW.

I found this while applying the latest code patch from ZEN to the SQL Injection security problem.

So the REALLY good news is that if you drop this version of shopping_cart.php on top of the .99 system (or .99a for that matter) located in STOREROOT/includes/classes you should get both the SQL Injection changes for this module AND (hopefully) a working BID NOW button)

Cheers!

Is it BUY NOW or BID NOW... I always had a BUY NOW and it worked from my first install...

Anyway... your shopping_cart.php is missing the final ?> at the bottom.

Yeah, I must have been asleep. It is BUY IT NOW, but some zenners noticed that they couldnt get that button to appear. This might be the reason.

You are also correct about the missing ?>

Thanks for the catch...

One more try.....

Seems I am not as asleep as I thought

This version of the shoppingcart file had the SQL security fix in it which, as it turns out INTENTIONALLY omitted the ?>

Hello,

I have a simmilar issue,

gonewild:

Do you have any suggestions for this error:

The first bid on an item returns a server error page. Clicking the back button returns to the auction page and shows the bid placed correctly. My server error log shows this error:

[error] [client ] malformed header from script. Bad header=No recipient addresses found : /var/chroot/home/content/f/o/r/forgottenwoods/html/index.php

The second and all following bids all function correctly.

I installed 99a and have an email error only on the first bidder.
What happens is I get :

**Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.**

Only after a first bid, then I hit the back button and everything is fine. My bid is shoing as I made it.

Then I get an email to my webmaster acct saying there was an error:

**The original message was received at Sun, 5 Oct 2008 17:40:03 -0700
from clubina@localhost

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

My email is set to sendmail

What is wrong?

Regards,
Nadia

doesnt sound like a mail problem, the error you will get would be it cant initiate the mail process more like it cant find an email address or maybe a bad email address when the bid was placed and the email was to go out to the bidder.
post your site if you dont mind, I will sign up and play :)

Actually, I wonder if it is because I set a minimum bid price.

The module sends me "webmaster" an error email with an attachment message saying sorry you have been outbid.

The message comes in an error email too:
**The original message was received at Sun, 5 Oct 2008 18:05:42 -0700

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

----- Transcript of session follows -----

However the attachment is fine with no apparent errors. It is a standard email saying I have been outbid.

Ofcourse, I know i wasnt really outbid, I just set the starting price in the product screen ant that starting price was outbid by the first coustomer.
