pynchon Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 There's no way at the moment to tell what is happening with particular sites - not until Protx get things sorted out at their end. If you still have problems when Protx is fully working then post back. You can go to the Protx Support Forums for feedback on the current state of play. Vger Many thanks Vger I kind of guessed that this would be the case ... but thought I'd ask just in case. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out. JK Quote
♥FWR Media Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) This is just poor on the part of Protx. They've screwed up a few times recently, and now they've done it again. There's no excuse for a big operator like them not testing out the new system thoroughly before switching it Live. And obviously they didn't test it thoroughly or else it would be working now. Vger Couldn't agree more .. can you imagine the amount of money that's being lost by internet shops that JUST use PROTX!!! Thank god I still have PayPal and Google checkout!!! Haven't lost a sale ... yet <touches wood> Oh well it gave me a chance to upgrade to the latest version and change to the new URLs. Just have to hope it works when PROTX goes live again LOL.

♥FWR Media Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) are the new URL's part of v4.3 ? or is there something else I need to change etc jk PROTX requires new URLs which are not present in v4.3 (which uses the old URLs) However it is not a problem as PROTX will be redirecting old URLs to new. Tom will update the package to the new URLs as and when.

Guest Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) I have just got my 1st transaction through after the Protx "All is well" announcement. Between then and now I kept getting a technical error reported, and have just found the following error meesage in the Protx table for all transactions: 3021 : The Basket format is invalid. The value was 3:Medium and Large Paw Tag:1:9.48:0.00:9.48:9.48: I have ust changed the PROTX module config so that the shopping cart details are not being passed across, and now my live account is functioning again.

Guest Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Anybody else getting the invalid basket error. I turned the 'send shopping cart' off and it's working OK at the moment. Has anyone managed to come up with a fix so this can be turned back on? :-" Quote
Thieving_Gypsy Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Hello all... after reading through some of this thread I was wondering if v4.3 is the best version to go for - what do ytou all think? THanks Andy Quote
♥FWR Media Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Hello all... after reading through some of this thread I was wondering if v4.3 is the best version to go for - what do ytou all think? THanks Andy In my opinion there is no downside whatsoever to using the latest version v4.3. Or putting it the other way around I see no benefit in using the older versions.

Guest Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 What a day! Even made the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6925991.stm. It seems to be working at the moment - lets hope it stays stable - I have noticed that some transaction are slow to process. Whilst tresting these and staring at the screen waiting I had exactly the same idea as you Babygurgles - you've saved me having to put a graphic together to include in the next update (I'm going to leave it a little while just to make sure that the new Protx system has settled down first!). Some people get the invalid basket error if the shipping is free - for now easiest to turn off the send basket - it is fixed in the upcoming version. Tom Quote
♥FWR Media Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Better version of the timer graphic I must have too much time on my hands :D Edited August 1, 2007 by Babygurgles Quote Ultimate SEO Urls 5 PRO - Multi Language Modern, Powerful SEO Urls KissMT Dynamic SEO Meta & Canonical Header Tags KissER Error Handling and Debugging KissIT Image Thumbnailer Security Pro - Querystring protection against hackers ( a KISS contribution ) If you found my post useful please click the "Like This" button to the right.

johnr3 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Now had two orders where payment has been taken but the order hasn't been confirmed in oscommerce so there is no order. As I've had to turn "send basket contents" off, this is a real problem! Any idea? Thanks John Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 I think that Protx are still having some timeout issues - if you look back a page or two in this thread there's an addition you can make to increase the timeout delay - that may help Tom Quote
