ALP-0.5.3 has been released

** Download is available here:**
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=673

There is no upgrade. If you have a previous installation you will need to upload everything except for /alp/includes/EbatNs and run the installer.

Brief Change Log

• eBay API 515 Compatibility
• Removed Register Globals
• Changed instance of name "Chinese" to "Regular Auction" to lessen user confusion
• Now storing UUID in Database after auction creation
• Added Notification Flag to Auction_List_Sold to avoid multiple emails to winners even if paid (Only one email goes out now. Do not use until email checkout is working)
• Added CRON job file to check for winners automatically. Hard coded 30 minute interval checks to remain eBay Compatible. (Do not use until email checkout is working on Zen)

NOTE: Other than minor code changes to this release I will not be making any more major changes. I need to focus on getting the email checkout working.

It's in the downloads section now. I've got and am going to try it.

Thanks!

Now get some sleep! :blink:**

Sleep is for the weak :smile:

Let me know if you have any problems and I will get them sorted for you.

I need to learn about this template system here. I would like to have my phpBB forum match the store I am installing. So I will go do that for a bit.

Let me know if you have any problems and I will get them sorted for you.

Fresh install 0.5.3 I am getting the Internal Server Error.

I removed the .htaccess file and get the register globals is disabled in php.ini error, please enable it.

Am now on the phone with my hosting company!

NOTE: Register Globals OFF is more secure ...

Might recommend only add-ons that are written properly to work with Register Globals ON or OFF ... just as Zen Cart is ... :cool:

EDIT: Oops, I missed maxrisc's earlier post about the mod being updated for RG Off.
So, yes, your hosting company may need to help, or you might need to be sure you uploaded all the fixes from the latest mod update.

... or else the mod still has some Register Globals dependencies :eek:

Just spoke to my hosting co and was told I need to change my index.php files to index.php.ini which makes no sense to me. They are sending me some documentation on how to get that done.

We'll just have to see if that works! lol

Ajeh:

Doh! That could be. I did a lot of changes in the few hours I was working on it.

I did an .htaccess "php_value register_globals 0" to test with.

When I get back to my workstation I will have another look at it. I vaguely recall, during that gray area about 310am, that I might have missed a couple of HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

However this needs to be in its own folder. It should not be installed inside of ZC.

I will have a look shortly and if there are changes I will repost as same revision.

What?! I've never heard of such a thing. If you do that then all references to index.php will be broked. :blink:

I would love to see this documentation...

I'm still waiting for it to be sent! May have to call again!

Sounds good. I am waiting to hear back before I make any sudden moves. I think what they might be referring to is that your .htaccess might have to be renamed to htaccess.ini or something like that.

I have seen that done before.

The solution above wouldn't work because your cart would be broken using the same logic.

After thinking about this some more...

It is impossible to be getting an error message from ALP that your globals are turned off if you "deleted" the directory and reinstalled it. I know this because I personally removed all of those warning messages from the code in 0.5.3.

So..delete your /alp folder and upload the files from a fresh copy and let me know how that works for you.:smile:

David,

After installing, and getting the Configuration Successfull message, I clicked on the Administration Tool Button and got this:

Warning: main(includes/languages/.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theatcom/public_html/ashbysontheweb/alp/includes/application_top.php on line 142

Warning: main(includes/languages/.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theatcom/public_html/ashbysontheweb/alp/includes/application_top.php on line 142

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/theatcom/public_html/ashbysontheweb/alp/includes/application_top.php on line 142

Any thoughts?

I fixed it by changing '.php on line 142 to 'english.php

That seemed to work just fine. (so far:P )

A few things:

1. How do I make my shopping carts products list in ALP under Create Auction?

2. What causes this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettransactionarray() in /home/theatcom/public_html/ashbysontheweb/alp/functions/auction_list_helper.php on line 110

3. and this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getcategoryversion() in /home/theatcom/public_html/ashbysontheweb/alp/getCategoriesSQL.php on line 62

4. and this:

• soap-fault: Auth token is invalid.
  • Validation of the authentication token in API request failed.

5. Is there a "users manual" yet that instructs you on how to use ALP and all it's features?

Ok, I managed to fix the above errors by uploading a fresh copy of ALP and re-installing..The issues listed in my previous post seem to have resovled, but now, I get this at the top:

It looks like it is wanting to write out session files to your /cache folder when there isn't one. You can try creating a folder called /cache and chmod 777 on the folder to see if it resolves this error.

This is not a permanent solution however. I will add a directive to the installation script to change the cache location so you will no longer receive the errors.

Hello all-
I have loaded a fresh copy of zen 1.3.7 and ALP. 0.5.3 with ssl on the site.

when I create a Ebay listing from the sample data, I get this error after I click this create Auction.

Error - curl_error 61 Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands identity' and deflate' content encodings.

Not sure what to do at this point.

Revision Ino:

ALP doesn't currently support SSL transactions with eBay.

It is a known bug and something I am working on.
