Floob Posted October 23, 2002 Posted October 23, 2002 Hi, Does anyone have their site up and running with Protx? I am very tempted to go with them, but would like to know if the contribution for Protx works ok? I will be using the Forms option. Thanks for any and all input. Cheers, Floob.
Floob Posted October 23, 2002 Author Posted October 23, 2002 Details of the form system are here: http://www.protx.com/products/vspform.asp
Mark Evans Posted October 23, 2002 Posted October 23, 2002 I am very tempted to go with them, but would like to know if the contribution for Protx works ok? I will be using the Forms option. The contribution is for the VPS direct method and requires the installation of an apache extension which is not suitable for shared hosts.

Floob Posted October 23, 2002 Author Posted October 23, 2002 Does this mean there a likely to be very few/if any people using protx with OSCommerce? Thank Floob.
Mark Evans Posted October 23, 2002 Posted October 23, 2002 Does this mean there a likely to be very few/if any people using protx with OSCommerce? I developed the module for a customer who was doing their own hosting. I will be working on the cgi module for the Direct system and if I get time in the future I will also create modules for the form and server versions but no promises.

Floob Posted October 23, 2002 Author Posted October 23, 2002 Thanks very much for any/all of your efforts.
burt Posted October 23, 2002 Posted October 23, 2002 ...requires the installation of an apache extension... Mark, I spoke with Protx about getting this extension, but they claimed to know nothing about it and directed me back here...telling me that OsC works "out of the box" with Protx (which we know isn't the case)... Any ideas on where to go/who to contact/what to do next ? Many thanks :)
medisave Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Im also interested in changing over to the ProtX form system. Hopefully as soon as possible. Using SECPAY at present but i have a great deal of declined cards. The customer goes somewhere else online and their card is accepted - or they phone us and it goes straight through our PDQ with no problems!!! Graham Wright ________________
Floob Posted October 24, 2002 Author Posted October 24, 2002 Argh. I was thinking of using secpay - but if you think they are not very good....... I'm with worldpay but am looking to move due to the 4 week holding period. Perhaps securetrading would be ok - I think there is a contribution for them. 1.5% and ?195 per year.
medisave Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Well there pretty good - just annoying sometimes with the delclined and not authorised bit. Just counted 10 rude emails in my inbox from customers who were all declined and the same night they went to my main competitor who use secure trading and were all authorised! Might not be SECPAY though - I think they electronically link to your merchant clearing bank in my case HSBC for the AUTH - so maybe if your non HSBC you might have different results. Kind regards, Graham Graham Wright ________________
Floob Posted October 27, 2002 Author Posted October 27, 2002 Sparky, I am interested in getting a Protx module for their Forms service very quickly. I'd be willing to pay. Would you consider this? Anyone else who wants this willing to put a little something towards sparkys efforts? I'm sure between us we could provide a reasonable sum. Thanks Floob.
medisave Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 If the charge is reasonable then im interested. Graham Wright ________________
appy Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 Sound good. I'm looking to the use Protx forms service v.v. soon and would pay a contribution.
Going_Digital Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 I would be interested in protx only 5p per transaction !
Floob Posted October 31, 2002 Author Posted October 31, 2002 Mark, I have sent you some information on this from Protx. Is it the kind of thing you need? Would you be able to put some time into this? Thanks Floob.
Mark Evans Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Would you be able to put some time into this? I will take a look tonight at the information sent over to see how easy a new module will be and will keep you all updated using this thread.

Mark Evans Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Ok guys I have thrown together a module and have done some simple testing. I will be tidying up the code over the next day or so and will then make it ready as a contribution. For a preview of the module which does work fully you can download it from http://www.freelancephp.co.uk/downloads/protx_form.zip temporarily. To install copy the files to the correct location on your webserver and then activate the module using the admin tool. You can use the test card number VISA 4444333322221111 with any valid end date to test with. Note: This works with the current snapshot and I will not be making it compatible with earlier ones.

Floob Posted October 31, 2002 Author Posted October 31, 2002 Wow! That was quick. Thanks very much for your time. I will wait for the final contribution before I test thoroughly. If this works for me I will not hesitate in paying for your efforts, and would encourage others to do so as well. I am using a 2.2 snapshot from early June. Do you think this would be an issue? If so, can I patch it up? Thanks again. Floob.
Going_Digital Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I am interested in an update the the Direct version as I dont really want to reditrect people of my site to pay. Looks like cURL could do this.
Floob Posted October 31, 2002 Author Posted October 31, 2002 I think the direct version already has a contribution. But I understand this wont work with a virtual account on a shared host. http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads.php/co...ions,318/type,1
Going_Digital Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 The contribution for direct requires a Protx plug-in that they say they don't supply. It is all done by https POSTS to their server. This means that your server needs to send posts to theirs. I'm sure it can be done but I am using the regular credit card module and the Protx vPDQ untill I can get it sorted.
Floob Posted October 31, 2002 Author Posted October 31, 2002 Mark, I get the following error when installing the mod. From /admin/modules.php?selected_box=modules&set=payment ====== Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/functions/protx_functions.php' (include_path='') in /home/ketta/public_html/catalog/includes/modules/payment/protx_form.php on line 13 ====== Am I doing something stupid?
Guest Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Thanks Mark I have installed the scripts, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I guess it's because my snapshot is from arround february 2002 (roughly) The error I get when I go to the payment modules section in the admin tool is: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/functions/protx_functions.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/catalog/includes/modules/payment/protx_form.php on line 13 I don't think an upgrade to the latest snapshot is viable as there has been too many mods to my scripts to recall. Oh well, back to the drawing board
appy Posted November 1, 2002 Posted November 1, 2002 Thanks for the quick work sparky. Afraid I'm getting the same error as Floob & Terry-Brooks. Any ideas?
Guyver Posted November 1, 2002 Posted November 1, 2002 This is the version I'm currently 'trying' to get working. I would love some step-by-step guidance :) So far I got 'Sparky's' mod in fine, I've compiled the PROTX lib. fine, installed OPENSSL, but this is where I'm stumped. What exactly do I do with configuring the SSL part? I've setup the OSC for it, but what exactly do I configure within OPENSSL/APACHE?.. Do I run apache in SSL mode and 'normal' mode at same time?. etc etc. Can anyone point me in the rigt direction please :roll: Cheers JOhn
