I have installed the Price List (hey thanks Paulm! - excellent) and the appropriate listings appear under Configuration but when I go to http://www.example.com/shop/index.php?main_page=pricelist
I get a Page Not Found error. What might be going wrong?

I´m sorry, but i can not make any admin settings.

how can I make the settings about the admin tool ?

what must I do to find the settings in admin config? I´ve made no files in admin directory!

Can somebody help me please?!

At the moment I´ve made all changes in phpmyAdmin.

Thanks a lot

I'll ask again cos I really need this thing to work ...
I have installed the Price List and the appropriate listings appear under Configuration but when I go to <.../shop/index.ph...page=pricelist> I get a Page Not Found error. What might be going wrong?
Anyone?

Hello,

When I set up an EZ-Page to display the price list in my cart using:

Open in new window = YES

Internal Link URL:= index.php?main_page=pricelist

And then I click on the link in my cart, it brings up the url:

http://www.Mydomain.com/catelog/index.php?main_page=pricelist?target="_blank

which brings up a page not found error.

Is this a bug?

Kind regards,
Anthony

This page is full of questions with no answers! Is there anyone out there that can support this contribution?

jenpen, Lissy73, and xman888 - It is far easier for those on the forum to help you if we can see your site to see whats going on. Please post your real URLS.

Jen - Posibile problems I can think of include that your zencart is not really in a "/shop/" directory and that your url is wrong. For most people it will be like mine; http://www.pezcollectors.com/index.php?main_page=pricelist
Also, the script could be timeing out, I have that problem sometimes when I have images turned on. Talk to your host to find out the correct way to change your script timeout settings. Also, make very sure that you uploaded ./languages/english/pricelist.php and that its in that directory, and not an override directory.

Lissy73 - I'm sorry, but I am having a very hard time understanding your posts. I can tell you that you should never install your SQL patches for mods in phpmyadmin. Instead you should open the .sql file in wordpad (NOT notepad), and copy all of the text. Then in your admin go to Tools, then Install SQL Patches, past the text into the box and hit send. Since you may have goofed the SQL patch, I suggest doing this with pricelist_remove.sql, then with pricelist-3.sql.
To add the link to your information box, edit the file ./includes/modules/sideboxes/NAME-OF-YOUR-TEMPLATE/information.php
After the lines ```php
if (SHOW_NEWSLETTER_UNSUBSCRIBE_LINK == 'true') {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_UNSUBSCRIBE) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_UNSUBSCRIBE . '</a>';
}

Add
```php
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRICELIST) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRICELIST . '</a>';

xman888 - Can you view the pricelist if you go directly to the page? If not, try the same suggestions I gave jenpen. If you can, do the rest of your EZ-Pages work, and with the same settings?

Hi gothstone,

sorry for my bad english!!! :-(

Thank for help with the php code it´s working now under Information.

I want to change this in my category box under "All products", where must this php code on?

I was trying the link from readme.txt :

And:

echo '<br /><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRICELIST) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRICELIST . '</a>';

to one of the the template files (depending on where you want the link to show up).

and it doesn´t work.

My Question in post before:

in readme.txt find this:

//
// Usage and Configuration
//

The pricelist settings should be available at the bottom of your "admin::configuration" screen now.
There is a main Price-list setting and there are several Price-list profile settings.
(If the admin DHTML menu does not show all the profiles, click on "configuration" at the top to use the alternative menu.)

I can not find the pricelist settings on admin->configuration !

Always i don´t want to have the head see picture:

Where can i do delete?

Lissy

Lissy73 - I compleatly understand how hard it is to post in another language, especialy when you have to include technical terms that don't translate. While I don't speak or write in German very well at all, I can read it; it may be easier for you to PM me in German.

Glad to hear its working in the information box now!

To have the link under All Products in the Categories box, edit ./includes/templates/NAME-OF-YOUR-TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php
After the lines:

if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
      $content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ALL . '</a>' . "\n";
    }

insert:

$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRICELIST) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRICELIST . '</a> . "\n";  

The link in the readme text is pure HTML. Thats fine when your are adding it to static content, but it you add it to dynamic php, you have to follow the structure of the php file you are adding it to.

I tried to manualy go to your pricelist on your site, it was not found. I suggest, as I did before, running the pricelist_remove.sql, then running the pricelist-3.sql. Then you should reupload all the files in the mod. If you still can't see the configuration for pricelists in admin, go to tools, admin settings. Does your user have a yellow P beside it? If so, you have admin profiles installed, and you need to click on that P and give yourself permission to configure pricelists by checking it under Third Party mods.

I'm not sure where your are seeing that header, it can probably be turned off in the configuration for pricelists.

I looked at your site. While it has a great look, your scrolling images in the specials and new products sideboxes are causing major problems. Your site cannot even be seen in firefox. I would highly suggest you only work on one mod at a time, get it working, and don't move to the next untill its compleated. One error will spawn several more. Good luck! :cool:

Gothstone, thank you!
My Zen Cart is currently hosted locally on my machine so that link was the actual link. Might this be the problem?

Hello gothstone,

I figured out a solution to my problem:

**"Hello,
When I set up an EZ-Page to display the price list in my cart using:
Open in new window = YES
Internal Link URL:= index.php?main_page=pricelist
And then I click on the link in my cart, it brings up the url:
****http://www.Mydomain.com/catelog/inde...t="_blank**
which brings up a page not found error.
Is this a bug?
Kind regards,
Anthony "

The problem was is that it is adding "="_blank " to the end of the link.

I instead put in the full url into the External Link Url, and it doesn't do this, therefore it works perfectly.

Kind regards,
Anthony

Jen - its hard to say. If you are running linux, and have realy named your system example.com, then it should work perfectly. If you are running windows useing something like apache2triad, you will find strange problems frequently. I would suggest useing a real server for your development, preferable the host you intend on using, as different host configurations can make a difference in how your site works. For instance, I just moved hosts (the old one went from wonderfull to absolute hell in the last year) to camalot hosting. While I love my new host, their configuration prevents me from using php overides in .htaccess files, so I had to rethink a few things. Also, it your dev site it on a real server, we on the forum can look at it, making it much easier to help with most problems.

xman888 - Glad to hear you got it working!

Hi,

I want to upgrade to the latest version but not sure how to. I did some customization on the current version I am using now and don't want to lose them. Please advise. Thank you.

after I have installed pricelist (last rev.1.5.0) on 1.3.7 I have this message:

and the only way to work is to uninstall the pach !

can someone help me ?

thanks !

Thanks for the nice mod.
I installed it but got some problems.

I use 3 languges on my site english, finnish and sedish.
All proifiles are enabled, but only profile 1 is shown and that only in english language.

The all other profiles or languges I get statement that I dont have right to see the list even when loged in.

Well I do have admin_profiles_v1_0_6 module installed, but not sure if that is causing the problem?

Can somebody help me?

marksu

I forgot also to mension that I did mark checkboxes on admin setttings
Printable Price-list
Price-list Profile-1
Price-list Profile-2
Price-list Profile-3

that did not help.

marksu

Marksu,
I made the same mistake. Marking the boxes in Admin Profile is not enough. You need to go into Price-List Profile-2 and Price-List Profile-3 in the Admin>Configuration menu and remove the Group Name setting. When it is blank then everyone can see the profile. It is used to restrict the Price List to only members of a Group which you set up in Admin>Customers>Group Pricing. (You can set the discount to 0% for the group.) Then add a customer to the group and they can see the catalog profile you selected.

Hope this helps

PaulM,
I know you said you didn't really have time to support this mod for all the requests you've had, but there is one which seems quite critical. The majority of products in my catalog are "priced by attribute" because they come in various sizes or forms.
Can you give me any direction as where to begin looking if I want to try to adapt this mod to show attributes and their prices and weights within a product listing?

BTW, I think you've done a great job on the current version

@marksu: if you can post or PM a link I will take a look at the language issue

@mauryg: sorry, I can not help with attributes. I think the pricelist main code (big parts of includes\modules\pages\pricelist\header_php.php) would have to be rewritten first, which is very unlikely to happen soon. And even then I am not sure about adding attributes support.

mauryg:

You need to go into Price-List Profile-2 and Price-List Profile-3 in the Admin>Configuration menu and remove the Group Name setting.Correct. The readme may not be very clear about this because in older versions the lists were available to everyone by default.

I'm missing something.....

Great MOD love it, this is even better than the first version!

Since updating zen and installing the new version my logo etc don't print (they don't appear in the preview either?? both are turned on. The footer prints.

Would appreciate it if anyone has a suggestion.
