awesome contrib, 100x easier to install than the ccc n it works like piss! i jus wonder how do i remove the ?> at the top left of the comp build page

 

That was covered in v2.4.0 - here's the fix:

 

##### STEP 9. Edit /catalog/compbuild.php

 

## FIND: (line 88) - THIS WAS MY FAULT - I LEFT A '?>' TAG BY MISTAKE

 

</head>

<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

?>

<!-- header //-->

 

## REPLACE WITH: (if you haven't already)

 

</head>

<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

<!-- header //-->

 

;) - sorry for the late reply - been bashing version 2.5 into shape - yo'l gonna like it.

anyway to convert this to load abit quicker when you click on stuff. or possible a different layout? maybe even radio buttons and a list. thanks!

 

I reckon it'll take a bit of optimising on the db-queries, but that's a little way off - there's a lot of 'bad' code. Right now I'm totally focussed on getting this beast to behave.

 

I really like the idea of radio buttons - development will progress that way (if possible).

 

Regards.

Hi, and thanks - this thing is going somewhere now.

 

I have not looked into the currencies much but will do so asap - this is not the first time a currency problem has come up.

 

About the problems you seem to be having with your categories - the compbuild_dependences table can get quite cluttered because poor maintenance scripts were in place to remove them if builder categories were deleted, renumbered, etc.. If you say you've reinstalled, does that mean you have cleared the tables too on each attempt... if not then I would suggest clearing the compbuild_dependences table and then redefine your product dependences. Otherwise, I'm not too sure really, I'll try to duplicate the problem and go from there.

 

Oh, are you running your catalog in english ?

 

In the meantime - and I'm not sure if it'll fix any of the problems you're having, but it will make things easier for you. Version 2.5.0 is out - see next post.

Version 2.5.0 is available in the downloads.

 

The matrix editor has been dollied up a bit and is a bit easier to use. Now you can change builder categories without having to leave the page, and you can select 'all builder' categories for the 'big picture'.

 

The assembly fee category is no longer hard-coded, this can be set in the configuration.

 

The builder settings have consolidated on one page - no more tabbing between category and dependency maintenance.

 

The most significant change that you might not see is that the builder categories do not have to be in strict sequential order any more, i.e. 1,2,3,4,5... for the dependencies to work properly (oops, did I never mention this, ever..), now they can be in a loose sequential order, i.e. 3,5,9,13,24... which is quite handy really if you decide to insert a new category between say, 1 and 2, which would cause a bit of upheaval in your dependency settings, not to mention renumbering the remainder of the builder cats.

 

Plenty more to say but it's all said in the 2.5.0 download. The demo site has also been updated - see my previous posts for the catalog and admin-side details.

HERE ARE SOME QUICK FIXES !!!

 

**** ATTENTION: h3rB and JIPANG ****

 

There is definately an issue with currencies, and until it gets sorted out properly, these minor patches should fix them...

 

FIXING THE CURRENCY SYMBOL

My development site uses hard currency symbols, not the &currency; notation - so for pounds I have the pound symbol, and so on. The easiest way to obtain the symbol is to put your catalog into that currency, pull up one of the products and then do the famous cut 'n paste trick.

 

FIXING THE BUILD TOTAL

I have just discovered that leaving out the 'thousands separator' in the currency definition stops the builder from totalling up (at all). Not having dug any further I'm sure there are more issues like this. Anyway, to fix this in the meantime simply insert a comma or something into your currency definition's thousands separator. If it still gives trouble then I would suggest looking at my demo site's admin panel and compare it to what you have. The demo site works after I made these changes.

 

POPUP MESSAGE FIX

This popup used to work. I think it may have been up until I fixed the .00 problem a while back. Anyway, to get the popup (warning you that your total is zero) to work again, edit the following file:

 

/catalog/build/builder2.php

 

FIND:

 

if (form.sum.value=="0"){

alert ("You must have products in order");

 

AND REPLACE IT WITH:

 

if (form.sum.value<"0.01"){

alert ("You must have products in order");

 

 

That's it - things should start looking better now.

B)

ANOTHER QUICK PATCH

 

Setting individual builder categories to have no dependence will give an error if the builder category points to a catalog category that only has products in its subcategories (ugh! - I dunno how to say that in english - read it fast you might understand what I'm trying to say). Anyway.. this will fix the problem:

 

Edit /catalog/prduct_list.php

 

FIND:

 

if ($pc_use_dependence==1 && ($pcid[$_GET['row']] != $pcdcat[$_GET['row']])) {

 

REPLACE WITH:

 

if ($pc_use_dependence==1 && ($pcid[$_GET['row']] != $pcdcat[$_GET['row']]) && ($pcdcat[$_GET['row']] != 0)) {

 

That's all... (for now).

Last minute patches - picked up (and corrected!) during the compilation of the 2.5.1 full installation package - and is now available in the downloads.

 

These last minute changes fix problems with new installations and the recreation of the tables (if you ever delete them). Apply these changes for the sake of being fully up to date, other than that your existing builder installation will not benefit from it.

 

NB: THESE CHANGES SHOULD ONLY BE APPLIED IF YOU HAVE PC BUILDER INSTALLED INCLUDING ALL UPGRADES AND PATCHES PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE 2.5.1 FULL INSTALL PACK.

 

#### STEP 1: Edit /catalog/includes/column_left.php

 

## FIND:

 

if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 9) != 'compbuild') {

$builder_query_raw="select pc_use_software FROM " . TABLE_BUILDER_OPTIONS;

$builder_query = tep_db_query($builder_query_raw);

$builder = tep_db_fetch_array($builder_query);

if (tep_db_num_rows($builder_query) > 0 && $builder['pc_use_software'] > 0) {

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'compbuild.php');

}

}

 

## REPLACE WITH:

 

if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 9) != 'compbuild') {

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'compbuild.php');

}

 

#### STEP 2. Edit /catalog/includes/boxes/compbuild.php

 

## FIND:

 

?>

<!-- manufacturers //-->

 

## REPLACE WITH:

 

if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE 'compbuild_options'"))==1) {

$builder_query_raw="select pc_use_software FROM " . TABLE_BUILDER_OPTIONS;

$builder_query = tep_db_query($builder_query_raw);

$builder = tep_db_fetch_array($builder_query);

if (tep_db_num_rows($builder_query) > 0 && $builder['pc_use_software'] > 0) {

?>

 

## FIND:

 

<!-- manufacturers_eof //-->

<?php

// }

?>

 

## REPLACE WITH:

 

<?php

}

}

?>

 

#### STEP 3: Edit /catalog/admin/compbuild.php

 

## FIND:

 

$messageStack->add_session("Database Tables not found!! - Click Update to Create the DB Tables", 'error');

 

## REPLACE WITH:

 

echo "<table bgcolor=\"red\"><tr><td><font color=\"yellow\"><b>" . TEXT_NO_TABLES . "</b></font></td></tr></table>";

 

#### STEP 4: Edit /catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/compbuild.php

 

## FIND:

 

define('GLOBALS',"Global");

 

## REPLACE WITH:

 

define('TEXT_NO_TABLES',"Database Tables not found!! - Click Update to Create the DB Tables");

define('GLOBALS',"Global");

 

#### FINISHED!

 

That's it, you're fully up to date now.

Hi, TENCENTS

 

 

i'm running cataloq in English as default even on admin page, i'm using your constribution ( Pc Pro Creator 2.4.1 ) on my templates. i'm not using any constribution mod for best focus and looking best setting

 

each instalation from PPC 2.3.5 i'm always backup all files and sql too ... then do the same for upgrade 2.4.0 ; and 2.4.1 all files and sql backup in different rar files. so if any bad conditions i'm just deleted and extract 'PURE' files.

 

yes, i think same like you.. poor maintenance script if were categories have any deleted, rename, renumbered..

 

nowadays i have your latest files, i will post soon.

 

Thanks before TENCENTS

KNOWN ISSUES AFTER V2.5.1 - Things that still need to be sorted out.

 

If assembly fees is switched off then the builder wont ‘add to cart’ – this seems to be an old problem as I have gone back to previous versions and found the same problem.

 

How to speed up the products list popup – this is a separate file (prduct_list.php) and is called each time a component is selected. It seems that reducing the number of lines from 27 to 10, in compbuild and builder2, speeds up the popup list. But this setting should not be hardcoded, but rather set at the maximum number of builder categories. It is also not the root cause of the sluggishness.

 

Dropping session id when adding to cart. (old problem) This is a good thing actually as two builds in a cart would be most confusing. This will be fixed in a major rewrite to make builds appear as products with attributes.

 

Adding a lot more to settings in admin for all sorts of control over the builder frontend.

 

Line prices in printout seem to differ from the currency used, eg. Set currency to euro, build an order and then print-preview it – you’ll see the total in euros but the line prices are in dollars.

 

Builder total is not showing the currency symbol correctly, specifically, it does not convert € (for example) to the euro symbol, instead it just shows €, even though the rest of the builder shows the proper currency. I think this has something to do with the java side – the currency symbol needs to be determined before diving into java. Right now the quick fix is to insert the actual currency symbol into the currencies definitions – this can also be done by opening one of the currencies for editing and then just saving it straight away – the actual symbol will then be written to the file. We could alter the way osc admin saves the symbol but I’d rather not touch core files to fix a builder problem.

 

Builder total does not seem to work if the line price goes into a second thousands separator – eg. 3446,455.88 will not be accepted – whereas 223,565.99 will. This was tested using the IDR (Indonesian) currency.

Thanks Ema.

 

I'm not sure why you cannot select a product from the popup-list, and I don't think it's a java problem because you are seeing the products in the list. Have you done any of your own modifications to the builder, like adding an extra field, or removing any? And if possible, do you have a URL so I can see? PM me if you need to keep it private.

 

Secondly, the dimension and position of the builder/configurator (and popup list). You will need to experiment with the widths and heights in compbuild.php, also play with builder2.php. For the popup you would need to check prduct_list.php and also builder2.php...this code affects the popup:

 

if (document.getElementById("oFrame").style.display=="none") {

var categoryid=-1;

var aTag;

tab=e.parentNode; //TR

var aTag=tab;

var leftpos=0;

// var offsetHeight=10;

var leftpos=0;

var toppos=0;

do {

aTag = aTag.offsetParent;

leftpos += aTag.offsetLeft;

toppos += aTag.offsetTop;

} while(aTag.tagName!="BODY");

 

var PopupHeight=254;

var TotTop=tab.offsetTop+tab.offsetHeight+toppos;

 

I haven't played much with this. Most of the code in the builder is very.... untidy!!.. and disorganised... You really will need to experiment a bit to get it looking perfect for your site.

This is a problem I know about and I haven't quite figured out how to get around it. There are some html tags in one of your products descriptions. You can either edit them out, or you could try changing these values in /catalog/prduct_list.php.... there are three of them (only one is used for assembly fees)

 

##### FIND: left(products_description,50) ...................

 

##CHANGE THE 50 TO 30, OR SOMETHING UNTIL IT WORKS FOR YOU.

 

The reason why this happens is that java is displaying the shortened descriptions, when it gets to a tag or something in the text that it can't display it bombs the list - so all you'll see is a thin blue line at the top. If you look at the code you'll see I went a bit wild with the stripping and slashing - mainly because I don't know what the heck I'm doing, haha... :lol: - anyways... it works more than it doesn't.

 

It's on my to-do list..... unless someone beats me to it.

Yes I am aware of this, and I agree that it should work the way you have done it. I will look now to fix the problem. I will also look to removing the QTY box.

 

Sorting.. yes that makes sense - I'll make that controllable in admin.

 

Checking all boxes - definitely - I remember running into some complication, but definitely will make that available.

Ikaros,

 

One problem is fixed....

 

Fix builder add-to-cart function. This makes it possible to use duplicated builder categories.

 

##### In /catalog/compbuild.php

 

## FIND:

 

$cart->add_cart($products_count[$i], $products_qty[$i], $_POST['id']);

 

## REPLACE WITH:

 

$cart->add_cart($products_count[$i], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($products_count[$i], $_POST['id']))+$products_qty[$i], $_POST['id']);

 

##### DONE!

 

Enjoy...

I am interested in using this contribution, but for a different type of application and was wondering if there was anyone else out there who has done this, or who can atleast let me know that it COULD be done..

 

I have a photography website and i sell prints of the images that are shot. I want the customers to be able to "build" a calander out of 13 images, so essentially they would just add the 13 images to the one product and just pay for that product.. Do you think that this contribution could do that?? I could easily put all the images on one page and just have them click checkboxes under the image.. THat would actually be idea..

 

Any thoughts/suggestions?

 

also, does anyone feel like sharing a link to their site that has this contribution installed so i can take a look??

Yes, it works perfect now. ^_^

 

Thank you for the quick reply.

and 1 more suggest , if in the admin panel we can choose and from categories not only from the manufacturers.

 

we are waiting for your news....

 

Thank you!!!

 

It's a pleasure...

 

Do you mean the matrix editor - like I've done filtering by manufacturers, you want the same thing for (oscommerce) categories?
