no payment module visible

[batchas]

as i never got a useful answer to my problem, i'll try again here.

in the admin area, i don't see any (payment) module to install. i see the 'install' button on the right, but that's all. if i click on it, nothing happens (or maybe... see the following).

i re-installed oscommerce, cause i had this problem since the beginning and NEVER could use oscommerce. shame. the paths are OK! so this is not a path problem!

when i first 'open' oscommerce, working with the dummy db which comes with, i click onto an item, and order it. as it is the very first time i want to order something, i will see in the checkout screen two payment methods (i guess these are 'standard' installed?). c.o.d and credit card. everything fine! i'm able to order and to pay via one of these two solutions.

i don't need credit card or c.o.d payment metods, i just need paypal for the moment.

i go to the admin area, payment modules, don't see any module (see on top), try to click on install, nothing seems to happen.

i go back to the store, order some items, go to checkout, and i can read:

'This is currently the only payment method available to use on this order. '

no credit cards anymore, no c.o.d. i'm really stucked. i only need paypal payment on my small shop. could someone please help me? thanx a lot.

i tried on different servers (unix, osx). i'm a osx user. any osx user who encountered the same problem? thanx again for any help.

The payment module is determined by the constant:

 

MODULE_PAYMENT_INSTALLED

 

If you cannot find the definition of the contant, you need to define it in includes/configure.php. I have not found a way to include additional payment module in the administration panel yet.

 

What I tried is to maually add a line in the includes/configure.php:

 

define('MODULE_PAYMENT_INSTALLED', paypal.php;cc.php;cod.php');

 

If you do not want credit card or cod, remove ';cc.php;cod.php'.

 

Aslo, you have to enable Paypal module by including the following line:

 

define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STATUS', 'True');

 

in includes/configure.php.

for the very first time, i did not get an answer ? la 're-install' or 'your path are wrong'!

you are a genius. it works fine. i have to test it in 'real conditions', but i now know that i am on the good way!

many thanx. really.

do you see the payment modules in the admin area?

No All I see is the following

 

Module Directory: /home/httpd/vhosts/business.com.au/httpdocs/catalog/includes/modules/payment/

 

plus the install button, but when i press that it just refreshes and nothing happens..

 

Thanks for your help... I am starting to think I am over my head

I have figured it out! and this might help the rest.

 

There are two areas you have to configure the path.. i thought there was just one..

 

1. /includes/configure.php

 

and

 

2. /admin/includes/configure.php

 

when you get that configured it worked brilliantly for me!!

 

Hooah!

Hi Folks, I have had these same issues after I just created a new store by essentially copying all my files from a seasoned 2year old store with loads of contributions into the root directory of a new domain, I then exported my SQL in two steps, first with all the tables which I wanted the data such as configuration and the second set without the data such as customers and orders.

 

The only flaw was this issue where the file manager, payment or shipping modules would not show the actual modules from the admin panel but I could see the path from the admin panel just as mentioned above. Here is my 2 cents for the resolution:

 

I did not need to add any 'define' statements such as suggested above, I simply pulled a copy of ....catalog/includes/configure.php and .....catalog/admin/includes/configure.php from an archive that I new was working (this was handy because the files already had my server information) and then went through these two files very carefully making sure not to miss anything.

 

Be sure to use the refresh feature of your web browser too, the page missing your modules might be cached in your browser even after you fix the issue. F5 on your keyboard will refresh your browser too.

 

I also put my new store in the root, to do this I just replaced all instances of .../catalog/.... with ..../... in these two configure.php files. All is working well now. I hope this is helpful for any of you.

 

Summary: after a new install consisting of copying files from an existing store to a new domain my payment and shipping modules were not showing from the admin panel, to resolve I carefully went through my two configure.php files (I had to go through them about 4 times to get it right) and now my modules are showing correctly.
