Hi, I am interested in adding an email collector pop-up to the site I manage. I've seen several add-ons that can do this, but I wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations on which one is best? Thanks Jeff

I was unable to find a cannonical support thread for the (aged) contribution titled "smtp through the authentication smtp server" found here: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/901. I installed this in 2.3.4 and while it allowed me to send emails, it only seems to send text emails, even with MIME HTML set to true. In fact, it strips my HTML tags and leaves my message looking distinctly forlorn. If anyone could shed light on this or direct me to the proper thread, I'd appreciate it.

Hi, I loaded the CCGV module for osC2.3.4. I can't send a gift voucher via e-mail either from my website or from my admin panel. It just clocks and ultimately times out. I can send a regular email from the admin panel. Can someone help me with this? ARB

Hi all, I dont want to be wiseacre disappear but have found a lot of problem with reviews system in oscommerce. So i try to mention personal opinion about it. My critics are the folllowing.. For review need prehistory of products. Probably the reviewer has product experriencies and can say something about it. osCommerce shop follows orders? No. osCommerce use the login force to make review which is a very bad behaviour with a press button. There would be better inform reviews after login as neither force login write reviews. Could customer found easy the reviews system to take a review? Hm.. Which customers write review? Basicly nobody unless somebody ask them. Do you remember to write a review yourself after 3 weeks of order? Could customers manage the self reviews in account? No. Are there any contribution for reviews? Yes but I dont find effective solution for it. I am not the supporter to write reviews as admin. I dont like to implement outside ajax applications to give out my shop commercial data. What would be better? First of all oscommerce has another problem. When I tried to rewrite of reviews system just realised that attributes system are not followed in reviews.. When I listed the ordered products by customers the attributes take a limit of options. How could customers reviews reflected to attributes? This main conflict founded between attributes and stocks too. V3 can handle this conflict with parent-child connections but we are producing in v2 at this moment. The best way would be to prevent option's conflict when connect attributes to reviewed product. How could we integrate the previous listed requirements? As @@burt mentioned in oscommerce appears to be totaly outdated topic I have to aggree with him. Previously I take a reflection about his post but I re-evaluated my opinion now. I have started to work out an alpha review module system for oscommerce. under test mode - ask pseudo review form in email after specified order status and date limit - cron management - alternative html reviews page for emails on http server - display statistical page from emails under construction for v2.3.4 - implement review modules in customer account focused on ordered products - implement review box for product_info page with microformats - change login logic to inform customers about reviews - enable reviews vote for visitors Known other conflicts: order language is not figured out in the core. To see in my github repo Estimated full reviews modul will be work out for v2.4 system If you have any question or remark it is free to write here.

Hello, I installed http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7226. Has anyone had any success with this? I've been able to use it for newsletters, but able to use it for the "contact us" pages on the site. D

Hi everyone, I started a topic some days ago about this, but I realised the problem was caused by an Add-On and not the actual OsC. (You can see the Topic here). I created my OsC Store almost 4 years ago and added some add-ons. The one involve with my problem is call HELD ORDERS v2.2 and it's purpose is to send and email as soon as the client click the LAST button of the Order Confirmation process pages, the one that brings you to Paypal Website. So if the order do not complete because the client haven't click the "Return To Merchant" button on paypal and the order doesn't complete properly, this way we still get an order in the admin section in the Held Orders section (created with the contrib) and an email to notify us. The actual issue is : When I receive the email, it looks exactly like this : This Is My Store Name EMAIL_SEPARATOR EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER 780962 EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL http://www.XXXXXXXXX.com/account_history_info.php?order_id=780962 EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED Thursday 23 February, 2013 EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS EMAIL_SEPARATOR 1 x Item #234 = 89.99$ EMAIL_SEPARATOR EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS EMAIL_SEPARATOR Mister Smith 1111,Street SomeCity ZipCode - Canada EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS EMAIL_SEPARATOR Mister Smith 1111,Street SomeCity ZipCode - Canada EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD EMAIL_SEPARATOR PayPal I do have a multi-language store (French and English) and both langues files are uploaded to the server in the admin/includes/languages/french & english. Here's the language file : <?php /* $Id: orders.php,v 1.24 2003/02/09 13:15:22 thomasamoulton Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2002 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Orders'); define('HEADING_TITLE_SEARCH', 'Order ID:'); define('HEADING_TITLE_STATUS', 'Status:'); define('TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS', 'Comments'); define('TABLE_HEADING_CUSTOMERS', 'Customers'); define('TABLE_HEADING_ORDER_TOTAL', 'Order Total'); define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_PURCHASED', 'Date Purchased'); define('TABLE_HEADING_STATUS', 'Status'); define('TABLE_HEADING_ACTION', 'Action'); define('TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY', 'Qty.'); define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS_MODEL', 'Model'); define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS', 'Products'); define('TABLE_HEADING_TAX', 'Tax'); define('TABLE_HEADING_TOTAL', 'Total'); define('TABLE_HEADING_STATUS', 'Status'); define('TABLE_HEADING_PRICE_EXCLUDING_TAX', 'Price (ex)'); define('TABLE_HEADING_PRICE_INCLUDING_TAX', 'Price (inc)'); define('TABLE_HEADING_TOTAL_EXCLUDING_TAX', 'Total (ex)'); define('TABLE_HEADING_TOTAL_INCLUDING_TAX', 'Total (inc)'); define('TABLE_HEADING_STATUS', 'Status'); define('TABLE_HEADING_CUSTOMER_NOTIFIED', 'Customer Notified'); define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_ADDED', 'Date Added'); define('ENTRY_CUSTOMER', 'Customer:'); define('ENTRY_SOLD_TO', 'SOLD TO:'); define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE', 'Telephone:'); define('ENTRY_DELIVERY_TO', 'Delivery To:'); define('ENTRY_SHIP_TO', 'SHIP TO:'); define('ENTRY_SHIPPING_ADDRESS', 'Shipping Address:'); define('ENTRY_BILLING_ADDRESS', 'Billing Address:'); define('ENTRY_PAYMENT_METHOD', 'Payment Method:'); define('ENTRY_CREDIT_CARD_TYPE', 'Credit Card Type:'); define('ENTRY_CREDIT_CARD_OWNER', 'Credit Card Owner:'); define('ENTRY_CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER', 'Credit Card Number:'); define('ENTRY_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRES', 'Credit Card Expires:'); define('ENTRY_SUB_TOTAL', 'Sub-Total:'); define('ENTRY_TAX', 'Tax:'); define('ENTRY_SHIPPING', 'Shipping:'); define('ENTRY_TOTAL', 'Total:'); define('ENTRY_DATE_PURCHASED', 'Date Purchased:'); define('ENTRY_STATUS', 'Status:'); define('ENTRY_DATE_LAST_UPDATED', 'Date Last Updated:'); define('ENTRY_NOTIFY_CUSTOMER', 'Notify Customer:'); define('ENTRY_NOTIFY_COMMENTS', 'Append Comments:'); define('ENTRY_PRINTABLE', 'Print Invoice'); define('TEXT_INFO_HEADING_DELETE_ORDER', 'Delete Order'); define('TEXT_INFO_DELETE_INTRO', 'Are you sure you want to delete this order?'); define('TEXT_INFO_RESTOCK_PRODUCT_QUANTITY', 'Restock product quantity'); define('TEXT_DATE_ORDER_CREATED', 'Date Created:'); define('TEXT_DATE_ORDER_LAST_MODIFIED', 'Last Modified:'); define('TEXT_INFO_PAYMENT_METHOD', 'Payment Method:'); define('TEXT_ALL_ORDERS', 'All Orders'); define('TEXT_NO_ORDER_HISTORY', 'No Order History Available'); define('EMAIL_SEPARATOR', '------------------------------------------------------'); define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Order Update'); define('EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER', 'Order Number:'); define('EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL', 'Detailed Invoice:'); define('EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED', 'Date Ordered:'); define('EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE', 'Your order has been updated to the following status.' .

What I've tried since I realized the faulty mail is relate to this contrib ? : Checked the Database to see if everything from Held Orders is there = Everything's OK. Checked all php files related to the installation of this contrib = Everything's OK. Reupload all php files related to the contrib = DONE. Redo all the code modification to be sure nothing was forgotten = DONE. Still get emails with all the EMAIL_TEXT, EMAIL_SEPARATOR ...etc not defined I can't figure this on out. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks

Hi, Because I'd like to send emails to customers with files attached (doing from Administrator). And later on, to enhance my website giving the customers the opportunity to send me mails with attachments, I though to start by having the Add-On number (4583) (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4583) Although a simple Add On it works partially on my OSC 2.3.1. ... It sends the message but without the attachment. Despite I feel confident enough to do small coding, I'm not an expert in the subject. I would appreciate to have some advice from the experts in this forum about what could be wrong. In my 'future' website, to let the customers send information back to our designers, is a very useful functionality. So I will appreciate all your help on this simple stuff. I spend a whole day digging on this but....without success :-( This Add-On modifies the catalog\admin\mail.php file. The code updated to let send the attachment is: $from = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['from']); $subject = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['subject']); $message = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['message']); //Let's build a message object using the email class $mimemessage = new email(array('X-Mailer: osCommerce')); if ($_FILES['userfile']['size'] > 0) { $attachment_name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']; $attachment_type = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type']; //$attachment_size = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size']; //Just in case you want to check and limit the size new upload('userfile', DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD); $attachment_file = DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD . $attachment_name; $attachments = $mimemessage->get_file($attachment_file); $mimemessage->add_attachment($attachments, $attachment_name, $attachment_type); } // Build the text version $text = strip_tags($message); if (EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') { $mimemessage->add_html($message, $text); } else { $mimemessage->add_text($message); } $mimemessage->build_message(); while ($mail = tep_db_fetch_array($mail_query)) { $mimemessage->send($mail['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $mail['customers_lastname'], $mail['customers_email_address'], '', $from, $subject); } tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_MAIL, 'mail_sent_to=' . urlencode($mail_sent_to))); I've also attached to this message the whole mail.php I use. Thank-you very much in ahead of time.

Anyone knows how? Is there an existing module? Hey folks, I'm considering selling different kinds of recharge cards(mobile, internet etc..) on my online shop. What I need is the ability to add these cards as a product, and once the customer purchases one of these cards, a recharge code from a table is generated and displayed on screen AND sent via email as well; and then the code is removed from the table. Any ideas? Thanks,
