If you have followed correctly ALL instructions in text file for this mod, then it works prefectly using zencart 1.37..
There is an addendum if you are using MYSQL5 i.e.

In your includes/modules/sideboxes/<your_template>/order_history.php file,
from " . TABLE_ORDERS . " o, " . TABLE_ORDERS_PRODUCTS . " op, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p  
to
from (" . TABLE_ORDERS . " o, " . TABLE_ORDERS_PRODUCTS . " op, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p)  

I also modified the file with this code, but still having problem
I think there is something wrong with the files where I uploaded this contribution files?
can you please guide me where to upload the files of this contribution? on my server
waiting for the response
Thanks!

can body tell me where to upload the files provided in membership mod contribution?
thanks

The files are already structured ready to upload to the right places. You just need to drag the includes directory in the package to the root directory of your store (if you're using an FTP client that supports drag and drop). The root directory is that one that contains admin, extras, editors, includes, etc.

The directory structure for these file to upload is follow as shown in txt file.
-- includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template/order_history.php
-- includes/modules/your_template/create_account.php
-- includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_shopping_cart.php
-- includes/templates/your_template/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

but this is Zen cart has include folder in admin folder and main store file as well
so please let me know where to include these files in admin side or in store side
thanks in advance.
best regards!

Hello Numan,

I was surprised to see that while I have been working with you the last few days via your PMs you have been posting the same questions here and getting basically the same answers I have been giving you. Going forward please post your questions only to the thread dedicated to this contribution (link is in the read me file) so that I get notified by email of issues. Thanks in advance for cooperating with this request!

As I said in my reply to your PM last night, you have 2 problems neither of which are specifically related to this contribution:

1. What you see in your store is your hidden product being displayed by standard Zen features that manually hiding a product does not address -- New Products, All Products, Recently Bought Products, etc.

This contribution is about pushing the membership fee and controlling it in the shopping cart, not how to hide a product in general. The readme file for this contribution clearly states that it does not address the details of creating a hidden product and hiding it from all features like Site Map, New Products, All Products, etc.. However, I believe that the Hidden Product contrib I reference in the text file may remove it from display anywhere, I'm not sure tho so you would have to check that out.

2. When I registered as a test user on your site the registration fee was not pushed to the shopping cart so I have to assume you did not upload the files correctly. From what I see, you are/were currently using the default Classic Template. When you applied this mod, did you modify the Classic Template files or create a custom template? Where did you upload the modified template files? Are they in Classic or in the custom template override directories? If you did a custom template and uploaded all the files correctly, it appears you may not have activated it in the Admin Area.

As you know, last night in my reply to your PM I offered to look over your files and make sure they were modified and uploaded correctly, if you would provide me with access; you didn't answer so I assume you don't want the help at that level.

I'm not really sure what else I or anyone else can do to help you at this point. I will again suggest that you familiarize yourself with the Zen structure (where directories/files are located) and the override template system. There is a lot of information available on this site, both in the forum and in the Tutorial/FAQ section. You should also seriously consider purchasing the Zen Manual (link available elsewhere on this site). If you intend to sell your services to clients for e-commerce sites using Zen you will find the manual invaluable.

If you change your mind and decide you want me to look at your specific files, please keep in mind that I have a backlog of client work to complete in the next couple of days so I may not be able to get to you right away.

Cheers,

Becky
