Please see this link http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5890 for the current contribution. I will not support this contrib (Version 1.X) any more as much of the content is obsolete.

All support for the new contrib is now at

Full credit goes to the original authors.

Guys, this is the last time ill be posting to this contrib. Any further mods will be posted to "Auctions 2.0 BETA" Untill its final release.

New features/Bug Fixes
2.0.4 BETA
_______________________________________________
A few mods done, here ; first of all, (Step 1) the code on product_info.php and auctions_bids.php has been changed; The higher bid notification now works well
Basically what was happening before is that all bidders under a higher bid were being notified of a higher bid, now only the second highest bidder
i notified.
I've also changed some code in relation to the emails that are sent out, making them more informative and content rich.
Again a language file could help here, but I can't be stuffed
STEP 6a)
The second (Thanks to JSR for pointing out this contribution by Joma Webdesign) Users who are trying to bid who have not yet logged in are now redirected to the auction page
after log in. Special thanks to Joma Webdesign. <--this contrib has been slightly modified to be compatible with this contrib. - This mod only applies to the
logoff.php file. PLEASE NOTE - This mod will have no effect on the rest of your store (unlike the original "Login and Return to same page" which does not work with this contrib
and affects all pages on your site)

Again missing a file, this time

admin/datetimepicker.js

Hopefull this is all Im missing, sucks not having anything to test this on

Complete pack

Again the last contrib was missing some files, Please upload the javascript directory (and all its files) to admin/includes

Sorry guys, I must have used the old admin/auctions.php file in the last few contribs.

The correct file is in this update.
(complete package)

Last contrib was missing setup.php
Install file also modified.

Thanks to MartinWenn for the headsup

BUGS????

Please report any bugs to the forum http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=297607

the previous code has been cleaned by the community add-on comment textarea and slash have been removed, so i enclosed the file with the right code

i got a parse error with previsou correction i think it shoud be better this way:

function tep_end_auction_valid() {
$auction_cfg_end_query = mysql_fetch_object(tep_db_query('select configuration_value from ' . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . ' where configuration_key = 'AUCTION_END_OPTIONS''));
if ($auction_cfg_end_query->configuration_value == 1) {
$auction_cfg_end = '<table><tr><td class="main">' . MESSAGE_AUCTION_OVER . '</td></tr></table>';
}
return $auction_cfg_end;
}

This is just an update to the installation-file, no new files uploaded.

The last time I forgot to insert the function tep_end_auction_valid() to the installation file at catalog/includes/function/general.php

Insert the following code just before ?>

function tep_end_auction_valid() {
$auction_cfg_end_query = mysql_fetch_object(tep_db_query('select configuration_value from ' . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . ' where configuration_key = 'AUCTION_END_OPTIONS''));
if ($auction_cfg_end_query->configuration_value == 1) {
$auction_cfg_end = '<table><tr><td class="main">' . MESSAGE_AUCTION_OVER . '</td></tr></table>';
}
return $auction_cfg_end;
}

Corrected the 'Agree with Terms' checkbox so it's really required to bid...

Full package, but only modules/auction_bids.php has changed...

Within the countdown script there is a function called start(). This function doesn't work within Internet Explorer and therefore I've changed it to init()

Only one file has changed (catalog/includes/modules/auction_bids.php) so no full package here. Just a txt-file with the changed section.

- implemented my easier countdown solution, explaned in the support thread of this contribution.
- removed the unused function tep_date_count_down from general.php

changed files:
catalogincludesmodulesauction_bids.php
catalogincludesfunctionsgeneral.php

FULL PACKAGE

I am getting this error when the Bid ends
CODE
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_end_auction_valid() in public_html/includes/modules/auction_bids.php on line 49

Download the fix here.

Added some new language parts due to the countdown script from Wolfey

FULL PACKAGE

Ignore previous one please. This sets countdown to normal values, for me.

Count down did not correctly calculate time left before auction expires. Minor patch, not full package

Just added auction_terms to the right place in /catalog.

Please try to keep full packages!

I forgot to put the file within the zip which contains the license agreement.

This is not a full package, just upload aution_terms.php to catalog/

Merge Must Agree to Terms, originally created by Marcel van Lieshout (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1341).

- Added 'I agree with the terms' checkbox. No one can bid without checking the box first.

- Adds a link to auction_terms.php (similar to conditions.php).

Complete package

This version just adds a configuration menu for the auctions module and it also adds the ability for you to configure how you want your auctions to end. Still plenty of bugs but we'll get them all sooner or later.

Sorry,

Made a mistake with some language files. Fixed it and inserted the right ones.

- Added 4 extra languages (dutch, espanol, french and german)
- Added 'Bid Date Added' to includes/modules/auction_bids.php
- Added bid_date_added table in mysql
- Added Customers ID instead of Customers name showing in products_info.php after a customer has bidden, due to privacy policy of the customers

Reorganised catalog files in folder NEW_FILES and folder CHANGED_FILES

Complete package, all credit goes to celdish

- Added 4 extra languages (dutch, espanol, french and german)
- Added 'Bid Date Added' to includes/modules/auction_bids.php
- Added bid_date_added table in mysql

Reorganised catalog files in folder NEW_FILES and folder CHANGED_FILES

Just did a brush over and corrected 2 small things.

1/ Missing file - causes error in admin/auctions.php so removed the require(FILE) instead of adding the file
2/ Added 2 missing pics

If you have any questions/problems, go there first.

THIS IS A BLANK DOWNLOAD

This script is not entirely finished. We have some bugs here and there pluss it does need some modifications to be e perfect script.

What does it do:
- Place items out for auction from admin panel
(you can chose item, time for auction, price etc.)
- customer can place bids (must log in)
( you have a own sections for all the auctions you have on you site)

This script is excellent for you pleople who are just selling 1x of a items or want to get some more action on you website. Good luck, and I hope this can end up beeing a much better script then what it is now.
