I am on OSC 2.3.4 and installing using the instructions provided.

In checkout_payment.php one of the instructions towards the end says:

 

Quote

var selected;

ADD BENEATH:

<?php /* Begin Gift Vouchers Secure */ ?>
var submitter = null;
function submitFunction() {
   submitter = 1;
   }
<?php /* End Gift Vouchers Secure */ ?>  

There is no "var selected" in the file. 

The following instructions also are not present in the file.

Quote

FIND:

//--></script>  

ADD ABOVE:

//Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
function popupWindow(url) {
window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=450,height=450,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,left=150')
}
//End Gift Vouchers Secure

FIND:

      <tr>
        <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
          <tr>
            <td class="main"><b><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></b></td>
          </tr>

ADD ABOVE:

<?php
  //Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  echo $order_total_modules->credit_selection();
  //End Gift Vouchers Secure
?>

Can you advise how I should continue with this, as it's just these last 3 steps that can't be completed.

See my file with previous modifications applied.

Hi @Jack_mcs! Thanks for bringing this contrib up to date.

I'm trying to install it on osC 2.3.4 BS GOLD. I believe I already have modular checkout installed, from installing the "Pay Without Account" contrib? (Otherwise how do I check if I have modular checkout?)

I understand that there are no instructions and that I should compare the files. It's a bit difficult because my files are extensively modified already, but I'm certainly willing to try. I wouldn't mind compiling instructions for 2.3.4 BS GOLD if we can figure this out.

I decided to give the provided Version_2.3.4 instructions a try. From the package:
- Use the new files from the CE install
- Use the CE install instructions until the checkout_xx pages, then switch to the RC2 instructions for those.

(I haven't tried the new files in the Version_2.3.4 folder since it says to use the new files from the Version_CE folder... should I try the Version_2.3.4/NewFiles/ ?)

The CE/RC2 instructions seem to line up pretty well. I did up to checkout_process.php in the CE installation instructions, then switched to the RC2 instructions for checkout_process.php, then came back to the CE instructions for create_account.php and logoff.php, then went back to the RC2 instructions for checkout_confirmation.php and checkout_payment.php

Like @aaymont above, I get to the part of the RC2 instructions that ask me to find "var selected;" in checkout_payment.php, which is not present in my version of the files. The CE instructions just don't have that bit. My checkout_payment.php looks most like the CE version (it has the require template_top line instead of the actual <head>) but I'm supposed to use the RC2 instructions for checkout_x pages.

I see that the point of that step is to add the submitFunction to the <head>:

var submitter = null;
function submitFunction() {
   submitter = 1;
   }

Should I add this (and the popupWindow(url) function) to template_top.php instead? My template_top.php doesn't have a "var selected;" either but I can just add the function somewhere. Or is this just not required for my version like for CE (the instructions for CE don't seem to be adding those functions anywhere).

In the RC2 instructions there are modifications to account.php that come after the confirmation_x pages. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do those since there are no modifications to those pages in the CE instructions, and if I understand correctly, I'm only supposed to do the RC2 instructions for checkout_x pages.

Should I try the CE instructions all the way through (not using the RC2 instructions)?

Any hints at this point would be great help as I would like to avoid, if possible, manually trying all the permutations :) Comparing files is difficult because my files don't seem to fit any of the 3 sets of ChangedFiles provided, so I'm not sure what version to compare my files against.

THANK YOU!

@cinolasI'm sorry you are having such a problem installing it. I know the instructions are very poor for your version of the shop. Regarding the var selected, the code is using that as a reference to add javascript code.  To add it, in the checkout_payment.php and checkout_success.php files find this

  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'template_top.php');
?>

and add this after it

<script language="javascript">
<?php /* following jscript function ADDED FOR CCGV */ ?>
var submitter = null;
function submitFunction() {
  submitter = 1;
}
<?php /* END OF ADDED FOR CCGV */ ?>
</script>

The attached are the root files from an old 234 shop I have here. There may be more, or less, than what is in your files but may help you to figure out the changes.

Thanks @Jack_mcs that helps greatly!

And I was sitting here trying to figure out how to get that script in the <head> section, but apparently javascript can be anywhere on the page lol

I added the javascript and finished following the instructions the best I could, but it gave me the same result: the checkout_payment.php page ends unexpectedly after the billing address. It's the line that summons to the subtotals and totals that causes problem:

<?php echo $oscTemplate->getContent('payment'); ?>

If I comment it out the page renders normally.

Does that shed any light as to where my problem might be? a problem in order_total.php? My order_total.php file validates, and the modifications for that file are the same in the CE and RC2 instructions.

Thanks!

My php error log says:

Quote

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare class order_total in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/skateshop/includes/classes/order_total.php on line 13

Line 13 is:

class order_total {

I am not sure why it has already been declared by the time that class file gets summoned. Any idea where else it might be declared? or where else this class file might be invoked ahead of this instance?

Cheers!

I can't find that line in the checkout_payment file I posted nor in the instructions or the other files in the 2.3.4 files. Is it in your original file?

It's not in mine. Seems like you have the wrong file, or applied the wrong change to it.  For that file, you should be able to use the one in the addon, at least for testing. Also, when making changes to the class files, be sure the code is inserted before the last bracket  -> } .

Come to think of it, @Jack_mcs, I might have added the totals to the checkout_payment.php page myself, just to show the totals to the customer as they choose a payment method. I probably copy-pasted the line from another checkout_x page.

Is there a better way to do this that would not cause the order_class to be redeclared? It's not vital, but I would really like to keep showing the totals on that page.

 

On a completely different note (I'm testing other aspects of this contribution): the gift voucher emails are being sent using, as far as I can tell, the send() function:

send($mail['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $mail['customers_lastname'], $mail['customers_email_address'], '', EMAIL_FROM, TEXT_REDEEM_COUPON_SUBJECT );

send($mail['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $mail['customers_lastname'], $mail['customers_email_address'], '', EMAIL_FROM, TEXT_REDEEM_COUPON_SUBJECT );

Is there a simple way to change that so it uses the tep_mail() function in /includes/functions/general.php? My tep_mail() function has been customized to use Postmark to send emails, and my server configured to block other attempts, so the gift voucher emails are not being sent.

Thanks!

Hmmmm there are apparently other problems with my installation: I created a product to sell $25 vouchers, that worked. I purchased one with my test customer. The voucher showed up in the queue to be released, but it didn't show up in Coupon Admin after being released, and the customer balance still says No Balance even after being released. The voucher is there in the SQL tables, and osC will let me send it, or use the balance to purchase.

I tried sending $15 of it, and the portion I sent showed up in Coupon Admin, but not the unsent portion ($10). The sent portion appears to be expired, it only shows up in Coupon Admin for the status "All Coupons" and "Expired Coupons". Here's the info it gives me in Coupon Admin for the sent portion:

Quote

Coupon Name :: 
Coupon Amount ::  $15.00CAD
Start Date :: 
End Date :: 
Uses per Coupon ::  1
Uses per Customer ::  0
Total Used ::  0
Active ::  Y
Products ::  not set
Categories ::  not set
Manufacturers ::  not set
Date Created ::  11/03/2020
Date Modified ::

Does it require a date? is that why this one is being considered expired? Any idea how I can get the unsent portion to show up too?

Trying to debug why the balance isn't showing on the Account page: I found these lines in /includes/modules/content/account/cm_account_gift_voucher.php
 

$availBalance = CCGV_BALANCE_NONE ;
        if (tep_session_is_registered($customer_id)) {
            $gv_query = tep_db_query("select amount from coupon_gv_customer where customer_id = '" . tep_db_input($_SESSION['customer_id']) . "'");
            $gv_result = tep_db_fetch_array($gv_query);
            if ($gv_result['amount'] > 0 ) {
                $availBalance =  CCGV_BALANCE . ' ' . $currencies->format($gv_result['amount']); 
            }

I ran the query directly on my SQL tables, manually substituting my test customer ID and it returned the amount I was expected (the unsent portion of $10). So the second IF should've worked.

Could it be tep_db_input($_SESSION['customer_id']) that's failing to return my logged-in customer id? There were no clues in my php error log.

Thanks again! I think I'm pretty close to it working :D I would be lost without your insights.

I might be wrong about the emails not going out. I just got the email of my test customer sending a portion of the voucher, so that emails goes out fine. Does the contribution not send an email to the customer when you release the voucher? that one I did not get.

@Jack_mcs thanks, I'm looking into that now. Since one is going out fine but not the other, I expect they are not being sent the same way.

I found the solution to the balance not showing up on the /account.php page.

Line 45 of /Version_CE/NewFiles/includes/modules/content/account/cm_account_gift_vouchers.php reads:

if (tep_session_is_registered(customer_id)) {

For me, it only works if I put the customer_in in single quotes like this:

if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

Are vouchers that have been purchased by customers as product, then released from the Gift Voucher queue, supposed to show up in coupon_admin.php? I'm a bit confused in the difference between coupons and vouchers, if there is one.

As always, thanks enormously for the support.

Thank you for posting the fix. The change you made is correct.

Coupons are code you give to someone. For example, if you wanted to give me 10% off of some product in your shop, you would create a coupon code and give it to me.

Gift Vouchers are meant to be sold as products. In this case, I would go to your site and order a gift voucher. Once you released it, I could either use it myself or send it to someone so that they can use it. It will not show in the coupon section in admin.

Thanks @Jack_mcs !

I think I understand the logic, "Gift Vouchers" are purchased as products, and then the purchaser can send the funds, or portions of, as "Coupons" to other people.

Coupon Admin is meant to manage the Coupons, but there's no interface to manage the Gift Vouchers? For my application, I would need to be able to edit the Gift Vouchers for when customers call in their order by phone and pay with their own Gift Vouchers (we expect some customers will use vouchers as a form of lay-away). Is there no way to do this with the current interface?

Cheers

No, that is not how they are designed to be used. The amount is stored in a table but that is only changed in admin when the GV is redeemed. It is meant to be handled via the customers account. You can install either the Master Password or Phone Orders addon that will allow you to login to the customers account on the shop side. Then complete an order and use the Gift Voucher balance when checking out.

By the way, have you looked at the Gift Voucher FAQ in the customers My Account section? That might answer some of your questions about them.

Thanks @Jack_mcs 

I have looked at the FAQ, the difference between coupons and vouchers weren't obvious at first. I'm getting acquainted with the concepts :D

One problem I'm still having is that the user MUST enter a payment method for checkout to work, even if they have enough balance in their Gift Voucher account. The FAQ makes it sound like they should only have to enter a payment method if they don't have enough in their Gift Voucher account.

If I don't enter a payment method but click the checkbox to use my balance I am sent to the order confirmation page, but then when I click the Confirm button there, it sends me back to the payment page with the message:

Please select a payment method for your order.

I'm assuming this isn't normal?

The amount is correctly attributed to the order on the confirmation page, so I doubt that the problem is about fetching the balance. This is I believe the relevant part of my checkout_confirmation.php page, that part is identical to the Version_2.3.4/ChangedFiles/checkout_confirmation.php:
 

// load the selected payment module
  require('includes/classes/payment.php');
  
  // Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  if ($credit_covers) $payment=''; 
  $payment_modules = new payment($payment);
  require_once('includes/classes/order_total.php');
  // End Gift Vouchers Secure

  require('includes/classes/order.php');
  $order = new order;

  // Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  $order_total_modules = new order_total;
  $order_total_modules->collect_posts();
  $order_total_modules->pre_confirmation_check();

  
//  if ( ($payment_modules->selected_module != $payment) || ( is_array($payment_modules->modules) && (sizeof($payment_modules->modules) > 1) && !is_object($$payment) ) || (is_object($$payment) && ($$payment->enabled == false)) ) {
  if ( (is_array($payment_modules->modules)) && (sizeof($payment_modules->modules) > 1) && (!is_object($$payment)) && (!$credit_covers) ) {
  // End Gift Vouchers Secure  
    tep_redirect(tep_href_link('checkout_payment.php', 'error_message=' . urlencode(ERROR_NO_PAYMENT_MODULE_SELECTED), 'SSL'));
  }

  if (is_array($payment_modules->modules)) {
    $payment_modules->pre_confirmation_check();
  }

// load the selected shipping module
  require('includes/classes/shipping.php');
  $shipping_modules = new shipping($shipping);
  
  // Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  //require('includes/classes/order_total.php');
  //$order_total_modules = new order_total;
  //$order_total_modules->process();
  // End Gift Vouchers Secure

// Stock Check
  $any_out_of_stock = false;
  if (STOCK_CHECK == 'true') {
    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($order->products); $i<$n; $i++) {
      if (tep_check_stock($order->products[$i]['id'], $order->products[$i]['qty'])) {
        $any_out_of_stock = true;
      }
    }
    // Out of Stock
    if ( (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT != 'true') && ($any_out_of_stock == true) ) {
      tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART));
    }
  }

I've also tried the code from the Version_CE/ChangedFiles/checkout_confirmation.php version but it gives exactly the same result:

// load the selected payment module
  require('includes/classes/payment.php');
  
  // Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  if ($credit_covers) $payment=''; 
  $payment_modules = new payment($payment);
  require_once('includes/classes/order_total.php');
  // End Gift Vouchers Secure

  require('includes/classes/order.php');
  $order = new order;

  // Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  $order_total_modules = new order_total;
  $order_total_modules->collect_posts();
  $order_total_modules->pre_confirmation_check();
  // End Gift Vouchers Secure
  
// load the selected shipping module
  require('includes/classes/shipping.php');
  $shipping_modules = new shipping($shipping);

// Stock Check
  $any_out_of_stock = false;
  if (STOCK_CHECK == 'true') {
    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($order->products); $i<$n; $i++) {
      if (tep_check_stock($order->products[$i]['id'], $order->products[$i]['qty'])) {
        $any_out_of_stock = true;
      }
    }
    // Out of Stock
    if ( (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT != 'true') && ($any_out_of_stock == true) ) {
      tep_redirect(tep_href_link('shopping_cart.php'));
    }
  }

  // Begin Gift Vouchers Secure
  //require('includes/classes/order_total.php');
  //$order_total_modules = new order_total;
  //$order_total_modules->process();
  // End Gift Vouchers Secure

 

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks!

It is normal but not to do with this addon. It is because the code in the shop won't allow an order with a total of $0.  To test that, enable the COD or Check/Money Order module, create a product  with the cost of $0 and try to order it. You could try this addon though it may not work without edits. 

If the product is marked as a download, then you can complete the order but that is not useful for normal problems.

Jack. I was all geared up to add this to my new Phoenix site but I see that you still have core code changes that are required. Is there any way that these minor changes can be added into a hook or something. Otherwise it looks like something I could use, but cant if it required these manual changes.

I don't think it can be handled with hooks or modules but it can be done with a template.  I planned on looking at that for the next release since the current one won't work with 1.0.7.10 anyway.

Good idea. That payment module is a copy of the COD module that only shows up when $order->info['total'] = 0

Obviously, the total isn't 0 when the user gets to the payment page, since they have not applied their Gift Voucher balance to the order yet. But osC still allows the user to move on to checkout_confirmation.php, it's only when they click Confirm that they are sent back to checkout_payment.php...

SO, I'm thinking there could be a quick way to change the selected payment module to the Free module when loading checkout_confirmation.php if the total at that point is = 0

I am, however, not quite sure how to do that 😔or even where I should try to add this tweak.

Somewhere in checkout_confirmation.php, or perhaps in /includes/classes/payment.php?

Any hints is gold, I am out of my depths here, sadly. But willing to learn!
