Upload all the files of 0.5.2.2 to a directory on your website. If your directory name is alp on your server then you will need to go to http://www.example.com/alp/install to install the program.

There is no need to do anything manually to install the software to use it.

Hi I am getting the following error. Kindly advise how to overcome it.

I use version 1.3.9.d

Thanks

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home1/hostname/public_html/zencart/alp/install/templates/pages/install_4.php on line 119

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home1/hostname/public_html/zencart/alp/install/templates/pages/install_4.php on line 120

I don't see to find the installation instructions - I have gone thru the install and I don't see anything in my admin console or catelog? Is there a step by step install with this program and what is the latest version?

Thanks for any help,

Jeff

Hi would you happen to know why after I have installed ALP I am getting these errors when I am setting up an auction? I can bring up the ALP admin tool and select one of my products - pull in the description information but when I go to select the primary category or the secondary category I get the following messages?

More than likely you are missing zlib on your server which will cause errors on the API communication.

Edit the file /alp/includes/config/ebay.config.php

Find the line that looks like this

[ebay-transaction-config]
use-http-compression=1

> 
> and make it look like this
> 
> ```
[ebay-transaction-config]
use-http-compression=0

Zlib is helpful to increase communication speed because it can compress the files to and from eBay.

Turning the use-http-compression=0 seem to resolve my:

I found it to be the Sandbox/Production setting on line 30 in /alp/includes/config/ebay.config.php.

It was set to 1 by default, and I simply changed it to 0.

Line 28: //Select Sandbox or production
Line 29: ;1 => sandbox, 0 => production
Line 30: app-mode = 0

Of course, if you're running in Sandbox, this probably won't help.

I've done this and I still keep getting these errors:

Do you have experience with these errors?

Thanks - Jeff

I decided to use Auction Lister too. I fixed all bugs, which other users already found and now I get the following errors:

Error Return policy is not specified. - A return policy must be specified.
Error A shipping service is not specified. - At least one valid shipping service must be specified.
Error Item condition required - Condition is required for this category.

Guys, maybe somebody pass this. Please help.:oops:
I forgot to tell you. I'm working in a production mode and got the previous errors during the "create auction"

Hi
I just installed this mod and like you I don't see anything in Admin or Catalog.
How do you setup a Auction, and send it to ebay?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi
I just installed this mod and like you I don't see anything in Admin or Catalog.
How do you setup a Auction, and send it to ebay?

Same here not seeing anything about pushing item to ebay or am I missing something ?

I didn’t!
So, I installed the ebay exporter mod.
I also have a ebid store so I also installed the ebid exporter mod.

Using both of them I’m able to export items from the store to a file
that will import into the tools used by ebay, and ebid.

Hope that helps

Thanks for that, I am now seeing the ebay exporter how do I export the file, it is creating the csv file but it is empty.

I have to be doing something wrong/

when I run the ebay.php file I get the following

===
eBay Turbo Lister 2.0 Exporter v.1.02a 04.23.2008 22:37:59 started 2011/06/30 09:10:25
Feed file - ** file location and file name **
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - No

It sounds like you haven't set the file location in admin> configuration > eBay Exporter Configuration

Try that.

file location is correct, but still getting same thing.

i downloaded auction lister pro for zen cart and installed it in filezilla and nothing worked. usually when i download something it has a read me file and this one did not. can anyone please help

Hi Everyone - Auction Lister Pro is way out of date - the last maintenence on this application was in 2007. I've tried to locate the person who submitted it but I have had no luck in doing so. In addition, the eBay rules, auction types and elements have greatly changed which is why you see a lot of depreciated errors.

Sorry couldn't bring better news.

Jeff :frusty:

Has it been since 2007?

Well basically what happened was I got a phone call from the Zen Cart peeps asking me to keep it free. They said they would recommend my product to all users and that I could do a manual or something and sell that instead. So we made a verbal agreement that I would give them a working product in a couple of weeks after our phone call. I was just about to release the ALP script when I got wind of a deal they made with AuctionBlox. I also saw they were actively pushing the script for their users. I don't know if they get an affiliate fee or not but it doesn't really matter now. They need to promote Zen Cart and I fully understand that aspect.

So I decided not to do any more releases for Zen Cart because I wasn't using it full time back then anyway. Working for free doesn't put a roof over my head and not enough people were willing to pay a small fee to keep me interested in working on it and at the time I was just about to be living on the streets. So I had to find some full time work to make ends meet and life got in the way.

If you want to work on it feel free to do so. The hardest part of the script is working with eBay's malformed WSDL and trying to integrate it into Zen Cart because I was asked not to make changes to core files of the cart so they could better support their users for security updates etc. I have to agree with them. I really like Zen Cart and I think they should go with the best option they have.

Well I am back on the unemployment line once again and I saw this message here. If people are willing to pay for me to code then I will look and see what I can do to update the script.

I thought it was a fantastic idea at the time. I still think it's a good idea to have something like this in ZenCart. So let me know what you all think.

All the best,
David

Hi David! Thank you so much for chiming in - I have tried to contact you in the past but never received a response. I'm so glad you are around and willing to update the code. Can you estimate how much people should contribute to update this awesome product? Thanks! Jeff :clap:

Hi Jeff,

It's a huge undertaking to maintain this code as it changes very often and there's no framework that makes it modular. It's one long procedural script that needs to be woven together with an API that's a few megabytes in size. And it's a serious pita to convert it to MVC format from procedural.

With the amounts of changes needed for each cart I couldn't take care of OSC, Zen, Magento, Cube etc. It was just too much work to do by myself. I've tried hiring people to work for me in the past but less than .01% of the computer industry does custom systems integration like this. Not one person I wanted to hire could add simple updates. Well that's not true Smoky was really good but I think he bugged out somewhere in the midwest off grid. I hope he's doing well.

For me to work on this full time for Zen Cart folks I think the best way to do it would be have a larger group of people willing to pay a small tech support fee to have direct technical support and updates. That's about the only way I could work on this full time and continue paying for my server costs to develop it and keep updating it. I don't know how well you are connected here in the community but if we could drum up some folks willing to help contribute then I will go ahead and see about turning out a working update to get the ball rolling again.

Let me know.

I'm going to go ahead and setup a test cart on my server and install ALP to see where we are with it.
