Guest Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 I am new to OSCommerce and am building an online store which sells e-learning courseware and I would like to give volume user license discounts so I downloaded Quantity Controller 5.1 which I hope will work out for this. I have never installed a contribution before though. How do I go about installing a contribution? I have all these php files now but how do I link them up to my current catalog? Any help would be appreciated...thanks! Quote
Ajeh Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 If you read through the README file ... it will tell you where to place includes/require statments in the language files or application_top etc. It also explains where to load the new files and the existing files. The caution here is to be sure to backup everything first. Then you can either copy over your existing files with the new files, or the better solution is often to use a program like Beyond Compare to add the new changes. Most all of the changes are marked with a // BOF: WebMakers.com Added: and a // EOF: WebMakers.com Added: so that you can see the changes made more readily. Take your time and add in the new changes or over write your existing files carefully. But most of all ... BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! :shock: Quote
Guest Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Hi Linda! Thanks for the quick reply! There wasn't a README file included with the download. Can you provide one if you have it on hand? Thanks again! Quote
Ajeh Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 If you did not get this from my site, then you got the patch only. Get the full v5.1 on my site and read the ReadMe.txt file in there. It also has all the code in there, too. 8) Right now it is a bit too large and being updated so I have not loaded v5.1 in the contributions. Quote
Guest Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Thank again Linda! I ran the DB Changes file and there was an error on one line: ALTER TABLE products ADD products_quantity_order_min int(8) NOT NULL Default "1" AFTER products_ordered; It says there is no column named "products_ordered" and when I checked the DB its right. Is this going to affect the mod greatly? Where should I put this change considering it doesn't exist in the database? Thanks in advance! Quote
Ajeh Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 My products table for that point down looks like this: products_ordered int(11) No 0 products_quantity_order_min int(8) No 1 products_quantity_order_units int(8) No 1 products_price_list decimal(15,4) No 0.0000 products_price_rebate decimal(15,4) No 0.0000 products_discount1 decimal(15,4) No 0.0000 products_discount2 decimal(15,4) No 0.0000 products_discount3 decimal(15,4) No 0.0000 products_discount4 decimal(15,4) No 0.0000 products_discount1_qty int(6) No 0 products_discount2_qty int(6) No 0 products_discount3_qty int(6) No 0 products_discount4_qty int(6) No 0 products_discounts_id int(11) No 0 products_priced_by_attribute tinyint(1) No 0 Quote
Guest Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 I tried installing the Quantity Controller 5.1 and my catalog won't even display now. I get a bunch of errors looking for files that don't exist. (i.e. breadcrumb, language files, etc.) Is this normal or am I missing something? Thanks! Quote
Ajeh Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Sounds like you are missing something ... I am not touching those sections perhaps you missed something in the update of the files? Quote
