several bugs in latest version!?!??! help please!

[winddancer]

hi all,

 

i am having some troubles setting up an osCommerce.

here are my problems:

 

1. while creating new product options eg. different colors yellow, red, etc. and I want to mark this item as extracost and I enter a "+" in the needed field in the admin screen, the "+" is not being saved to the database! the "-" however will be saved!

 

2. when i put a personalized product (using these productoptions for size, color etc.) in the basket, I cannot edit the amount nor can I delete the product.

 

3. while creating values for the options "yellow, red etc." the first four chars are just chopped away, just like in the phpMyAdmin & php 4.2.3 bug.

is this due to this ???

 

any help will be greatly apreciated!

 

best regards

ok once more. perhaps i was unclear....

1. while creating new product options eg. different colors yellow, red, etc. and I want to mark this item as extracost and I enter a "+" in the needed field in the admin screen, the "+" is not being saved to the database! the "-" however will be saved!

 

In the admin interface you have the possibility to create product options. These are e.g. colors, sizes, versions.... These options can be assigned higher or lower prices or to be more exact what amount of money you need to add OR substract from the article price.

Now when you create such an option you choose the product, the option, the option value and, of course, the price alteration.

before this price field you need to state whether the product costs more or less, by choosing a "+" or "-" char. Now when I choose - the store will save it without a problem, if I choose + however the store will only store an empty variable, resulting that the price isn't calculated correctly.

question: why isn't the + char stored????

 

 

2. when i put a personalized product (using these productoptions for size, color etc.) in the basket, I cannot edit the amount nor can I delete the product.

 

now this is a serious problem!

let's assume we have an articel with two options. one with size (S, M, L, XL etc.) and color (green, red, blue). Let's choose the article with the options desired and put it in the basket. Now when I try to edit the amount of the article or even try to delete it from the basket, my edit requests are simply ignored!!!!

when i use a standard product i can remove or edit it without a problem!

 

3. while creating values for the options "yellow, red etc." the first four chars are just chopped away, just like in the phpMyAdmin & php 4.2.3 bug. is this due to this ???

 

what shall i say? in the admin screen, try to create new options. Let's say create a new color, in the field where you enter the color, the first four chars are being chopped. if you enter "yellow" in the form field, "ow" will be saved to the database.

This problem cleary resembles the same bug in phpMyAdmin when working with PHP 4.2.3.

 

 

any help will be greatly apreciated!

Yes that is one of the bugs in 4.2.3 I would strongly recommend against using that version of PHP.

[winddancer]

well i wouldn't, but we are using a raq 550 and getting a decent php package for this is really difficult.

 

my choice is 4.0.6 or 4.2.3 !

 

what about the other two problems?

especially about not being able to delete or update articles with product options!?!?!

I get exactly the same bug using PHP 4.0.6. Do you know which version this is definitely fixed in?
