Reward Point Mod beta now available

fiji:

another point:

In the check out, the "Value of Redeemed Reward Points" should be "subtraction sign", if can be red, that's better.

otherwise, customer will confusing.
I attach a picture here.

Added to wishlist

fiji:

I set Max Transactions to Display in Customer Admin = 20,
so in the "Customer Reward Points Admin", should be only display 20 "pending" customer per page?
But I got all customers showed in that page. if i have 1000+ customer, that will be a long list.

I think maybe that error make this page not working properly.
Someone can confirm this point? or just I have this problem?

again, thank you very much.

The error looks like it's in the javascript and won't affect the running of the page. The No of Transactions is how many pending point orders are displayed once you click on a customer.

andrew, you just remind me:
Both admin and customer didn't receive the order confirmation Email.

customer received invoice form paypal. admin receive the money from paypal.
order number is correct.
customer can see the order in his account history.
admin can see the order in the order menu.

and I found another similar problem.
If the customer has enought point to payoff one order.
finsih order, receive the order confirmation Email, everything is going well. But no point reward in this order.
No pending point, and no earned point from this order.

is tis correct? but in the confirmation Email and check out page still showing they will receive some point.

1. Where is the javascript coming from? Is in your project or in my side?
2. Does one page list all customers correct? or should be separate to many page? if having 1000+ customer will be a problem.
3. Could you tell me where to add the "subtraction sign", I didn't find the place to modify. I want to add it myself. :)

thanks again

Does anyone know if it is correct behaviour for ZenCart not to send order detail emails if PayPal is being used? The RP code is hooked to the NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL notifier- obviously if this notifier is not called then the points are not awarded.

My side- I've already changed it. It will be in the Full Release

fiji:

At the moment yes but it is a priority item. I'm looking at making all the Reward Point panels AJAX based to speed everything up.

Again, I've already done this and it will be in the full release. Barring the issue with the PayPal payment I think the mod as it stands now is ready to go.

I think if we can sort by pending and awarded points, this wont be an issue anymore

Hi,

A couple of questions if I may

1. Has anyone got this running on a live site yet ?
   (The install files still states BETA and that is should NOT be used on a live site)

2. Are there any current issues that would prevent it from being run on a live site

3. If anyone does have it running live, is there any evidence that it is contributing to repeat business from existing customers ?

I'm curious to know before I trial it on my test site

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Wouldn't it be better to hook it into where/when the product status is updated? (Not when emails are sent)

For example, a Paypal order could remain as Pending for several days (due to echecks), or a store admin might have to go and manually cancel an order (which got in twice -- happens to us with Paypal every once in a while, the order shows up twice in Zen, but only once in Paypal)

The original reward point record has to be created sometime during the creation of the order- the email of the order is the last thing that is done once an order is successfully made- The status changes (Pending/Processed etc) is handled elsewhere and this is dependant on the reward point record that's created at that point.

Don't think that it will be going away that easy :huh:

The sort has been added to the release version.

That is correct- I want to make sure the mod is suitable for a live environment before letting it into the wild.

2. Are there any current issues that would prevent it from being run on a live site

The last version (only posted here) seems to be very stable and it looks like the version I will go live with.

Mike_Dean:

Interesting question. I do know that I tend to return to sites that I have been building points up on.

The full release should go live later this afternoon so just hang tight a little longer.

Thanks Andrew, I'll wait patiently.... :clap:

Hi Andrew,

I can confirm that the admin does receive an order confirmation email when either form of Paypal is used, Express Checkout or IPN. Payment notification emails are sent from paypal, too. I have linkpoint, installment plan, bank wire transfer, and check/money order payment plans all generate admin order confirmation emails.

Now, whether or not the customer receives an email from zencart if paying through either Paypal option, I am not sure about that since it's been 6 months or more since I tested that out and I can't remember. If no one else can chime in I will run it through on my site to see what happens.

Thanks again for such awesome work! You have one of the few mods that doesn't touch core code and I appreciate that extra effort.

Well it's been posted to the Contributions section- now we just have to wait for it to be listed.

Does anyone have any preference to which items on the wishlist I should tackle first??? I'm guessing the customer referral mod.

Thanks Matt- I've checked through checkout_process.php and I have no doubt that I'm hooking to the right notifier- I use NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL simply because there's no NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_END, so I just select the last notifier in the checkout process (prior to the order being munged for display purposes.

What this means is even if no email is sent (because it's switched off in Admin) the points still get calculated and stored- unless the checkout_process.php file is somehow bypassed or paypal wipes out the order details. I don't use paypal so I cannot verify this.

Following on from the previous post- does any of you PayPal users know whether they provide test credentials so people can test websites with them without having to provide real credit card details???

They do have something that they call the "Sandbox" which is supposed to be for development and testing.

Here is a link to their "Developer Central" section so that you can check it out more closely. It might have more details on what you are looking for
