did you look at Admin>Catalog>Product Type>Product - Auction> then click the 'edit layout' button! If you mean theirs nothing there then try running the sql install once more. Layout or options are ether in config or product type and not in the manager.

There's nothing in none of them when I click edit, but the update and cancel.

I click configuration, Auction Manager, if I click on an item to change and click edit, it just have an update and cancel. I have uninstalled and uploaded and installed again and again, once I had two auction type product when I added a product so I went back and uninstalled again and reinstalled and run the update to. This is what I got when I run the SQL patch:

Can someone help me with this problem, has anyone experience this bug before. I had Zen Cart v1.3.9g just upgraded to v1.3.9h. Uninstalled and removed Auction Product Type. I'm trying to get help before I reinstall.

Like I covered before, the settings are not in the Auction Manager, but in the product type 'Edit Layout' for the product layout... and I'm assuming you downloaded the latest 1.2...

The sql error is due to pieces left behind my bad uninstalls, the main sql should have clean it up before re-installing... the auctions_update_all.sql updates the configuration but doesn't replace the tables so not to lose products..

You can ether run the uninstall, then install the main sql, our look in the three areas to see if everything is still in place...

Admin>Configuration>Auction Manager, Admin>Catalog>Product Type>Product - Auction> then click the 'edit layout' button!

If everything is there then its still installed.

There's nothing in none of them when I click edit, but the update and cancel.That is all that should be there... layout is in product type as with all the other layout settings for other product types!

Yes I DiD. But the layout is not the same as with all the other layout settings for other product types!

Product - General Display Model Number on Product Info 0= off 1= on, the drop down botton you pick true or fase. there is no such drop down for Product - Auction. its just update and cancel and nothing to choose.

Thanks for your help, I don't know what happened. I uninstall the sql, and went through each folder and deleted each file, then unzipped a fresh download, installed again it looks ok now. all i need to do is test it.

In the sql statement and in my installs its a drop down true/false box.

It's hard to figure out what's going on when all I'm seeing is words on a screen... and I can't reproduce an error on my installs.

The mod is working on 1.8.9g tested in php5.3

It working Ok Now, something must have been missing on my first up load or a corrupt file, because after the uninstall and delete of all the files and a fresh upload, it's working fine. Thanks

I just downloaded and installed the Latest Auction-Product type Contribution. Following the instructions I encountered no errors uploading the files or with the SQL Patch.

Everything seems to work fine, except when I am in Admin:

When I go to add a new product:
I select Product-Auction, and click "New Product"
This is what the screen looks like.

Everything seems to be in the right place.
But what is up with the text?
Is "TEXT_" suppose to show on every line?

When I list the product, the listing appears correctly on the site
But I'm afraid there will be listing errors by my employees if we keep the confusing text.

I'm sure this might be something I did incorrectly, but what?

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

The admin defines are in admin\includes\languages\english\product_auction.php

Try reloading the page and see if that works... your getting the page define text because the defines are missing or for some reason its not getting loaded.

Should be 4 files for all the admin defines... admin\includes\languages\english
auction_manager_mail.php
auctions_manager.php
convert_type.php
product_auction.php

Thanks, That did it.
Must have not uploaded them...
Again Thanks!

I have noticed when I go to the Products Auction page, that the text showing the Time/ Date of the auction end is not centered like the other text, also the "Reserve Not Met" text is not centered.

Where can I go to fix this...

Also where do I edit the text"Auction Sales, One of a kind products, ..."

If someone knows I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

O.K. I found where to edit,"Also where do I edit the text"Auction Sales, One of a kind products, ..."
And changed it to suite my needs.

I have also figured out why the auction end Date and time & Reserve not met lines aren't centered.

It appears to be because of the products picture.
If I list the item w/o a Picture, everything lines up perfectly.

Is there some way to fix this...I tried resizing the pic, but did not help.

Also in the Description of the item, when I enter a certain amount of text, the main body of my template serperatesfrom the bottom at the top of the footer. I can not get this to happen in any other product type. Just when I select product type-Auction.

Any ideas on that problem

Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used the default tpl_product_info_display.php to create tpl_product_auction_info_display.php When I create auctions in the default template, it all works fine... even with extremely long descriptions and images... sorry, but without something to look at, more info... it all looks good here!

Editing the CSS and even making chances to the tpl_product_auction_info_display.php you can achieve some nice layouts. I use a very different layout for my auction page and site products.

I just installed this plug-in. The only problem I have right now is the text. Everything reads like this TEXT_AUCTION_TAG_LINE can anyone help me fix this. Below is my link also I am using v1.3.9h and PHP5

Make sure includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\product_auction_info.php was uploaded to your site files. That's where TEXT_AUCTION_TAG_LINE is defined. Looks like your missing that file.

A quick question.

If I want to display a daily product with a count down clock/timer, but i want direct sales in other words people wont be bidding on the product at all instead the price will be fixed, can this be achieved using this mod?

The current version is only an auction, the next will also include a 'make-an-offer', but none of them are designed to function as a daily sale event.... Lots of countdown clock code on the internet, you may be able to code one into the sale manager.

Ok thank you for the response, much appreciated.

I am running Zen Cart 1.3.8a with the latest version of Product Type Auction. Auction manager shows my auctions as closed even though the auction close date is still a week away. How do I resolve this issue?

Also, when accessing the auction products through auction manager I get the "Category Disabled" message at the top yet this message does not show up when accessing the auction products through admin->catalog->categories/products. How do I fix auction manager to display correctly?
