Anyone ever have any problems with zen-cart 1.3.8 and having this mod installed with Fast and Easy Checkout ?

Sorry- it is on my todo list.

Hem are you saying it is not compatible with fast and easy checkout yet?

Nah, Fast and Easy Checkout isn't compatible with RPM

Is it possible to prevent customers from using their rewards points to purchase gift certificates? I'd like to keep the rewards points non-transferable. However, it seems like a loophole if customers can use their points to purchase a gift certificate to give to someone else. That would essentially make the reward points transferable. Is there a way to close this loophole? I've researched this thread, but I couldn't find an answer.

Right now it is not possible. However it would be possible to add a "not redeemable" rule to the Reward Point Master table- I'll add it to the wishlist.

Thanks for the response. It'll be a nice feature since one of your current features is to allow redeem points on the order total or on the order subtotal. If customers can purchase gift certificates with their reward points, then they can use their gift certificates to pay for shipping fees, even if the setting is set to allow redeem points on order subtotal. So it seems like a loophole around that feature. For now, I'm letting customers know that they may risk losing their points if they attempt to purchase gift certificates with their points.

So now I have problem that I've discovered. I'm in the testing phase of this module, and I noticed that after several test purchases (not using PayPal), I can't get the points in my shopping cart to go into pending status. After each purchase I don't see any points in my test account.

I ran a diagnostic, and these errors came up:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/cobrapla/public_html/rpd.php:4) in /home/cobrapla/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 108

From posting #726, you indicated this:

hem:

You have an empty first line somewhere in one of your ZenCart files. Check this article for info on how to fix this: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=87

From what the article indicated, the problem is with the output file (rpd.php, line 4). In any case, I checked all related files, and I don't see any spaces at the beginning or at the end.

I'm currently using ZC 1.3.7 and version 1.22 of your mod. Is there something I'm missing? I don't mind having to add the points manually if it has something to do with 1.3.7, but I'd prefer to do what I can to automate the process as much as possible. I plan to upgrade my cart, but I'm waiting for either 1.3.9 or 2.0.

By the way, thank you for creating this module. Even if I have to apply points manually, it'll still save me a lot of time at the end of the year when I used to send out gift certificates to my biggest customers. Now I can just add extra points to their accounts.

The mod will not work fully with any version prior to v1.3.8. This is because it uses the observer/notifier class which was introduced in that version.

CobraPlant and others, for security purpose you should avoid posting your hosting user account name as part of any post.

For example you posted:
/home/cobrapla/public_html/rpd.php

You could have simply post:

/public_html/rpd.php

or

///public_html/rpd.php

or

/root_directory/rpd.php

It's not like anything is going to happen to your account, it's just a nice practice to not give wandering eyes too much info.

Thanks Andrew for the info. I have some extra time next week, so I'll likely use it to upgrade to 1.3.8 rather than waiting for 1.3.9.

Thanks Isaacola for the reminder. It's been awhile since I needed assistance, so I simply forgot about that tidbit. Is it possible for a moderator to edit my post and delete that information?

Hem,
I have decided to go back to the regular checkout instead of the FEC, but i have Quantity Discounts mod, is there a way to set that they have the option to use either order? or if they decide to apply reward points that they can't use the Quantity Discounts?

Hi, just installed this and was getting all excited only to find it doesn't work with PayPal IPN :-( I will keep it installed though because you did mention you were looking at it, so one can hope.

The reason I was searching the forum posts though...I get an error with the Install SQL Patch...

1062 Duplicate entry '0-0' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_reward_master (rewards_products_id ,scope ,scope_id ,point_ratio ,bonus_points, redeem_ratio, redeem_points) VALUES (NULL , '0', '0', '1.0000', NULL, 0.01, NULL);]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I looked a fair few pages back, and didn't find it but I apologise if it's buried deep in this thread.

Am no techie but managed to install a few mods so far...just not seen this error before.

Any input appreciated and can't wait till PayPal IPN is sorted.

Thanks in advance

However it does work with regular PayPal and others have got it working with IPN, I'm just not sure what kind of voodoo they had to pull with Paypal to do it.

Does anyone know how to change the font on this text from:

No points earned yet on current order.
Log In to see how many reward points you have already earned

No points earned yet on current order.
Log In to see how many reward points you have already earned

No Bold Font?

Thanks.

On my product details page under the product amount its displaying this:

25 PRODUCT_REWARD_POINT_TAG

How can I correct this?

The stylesheet (for changing bold and stuff) is in includes\templates\custom\css\stylesheet_reward.css

Run the uninstall.sql patch and then try again.

I'm in the process of upgrading my site from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8a. So far everything is working beautifully! I did notice a glitch, but that was from another module. I installed the Edit Orders module, but that module messed up the distribution of points when I did a test purchase. Essentially it erased the points display on the order when I attempted to edit the order, such as adding products. However, it maintained the points in the pending category. But because the points display on the order was reset to zero, and it didn't change the points from pending to earned when I changed the status of the order. The Reward Point module started working fine again when I disabled the Edit Orders module.

In short, Edit Orders Module is not compatible with Reward Points Module. FYI
