Column Control Problems

[ranted]

I set up everything just the way the readme said to. I log into my admin interface and go to tools>column control. I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_array_merge() in /home/bigwayco/public_html/catalog/admin/column_controller.php on line 96

 

any ideas?

thanks in advance.

[Guest]

if using MS2 search the files for tep_array_merge and change to array_merge

that should correct your error

[ranted]

Thanks man, that fixed that problem. Now when I go to Column Control under admin interface, instead of bringing me to the column control interface it takes me to Sessions... any ideas?

Ok i've managed to fix this. Now the Column Control text link under Tools doesnt even show up between Cache Control and Define Languages. I REALLY need some help, lol, excuse the noobness. Thanks :)

[Guest]

it sounds like you might have someting messed up from the install

 

also could you post the contents of your tool.php and i can take a look

 

could you post a link for the contrib and i will download to see what might be the problem

i found the problem with column controller if your using this contrib http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,169/page,3

 

its the database file this is to do with the database changes to the table configuration_group.

 

The value 15 for configuration_group_id is already in use by sessions.

 

I would try the following: (back up everything first)

 

hopefully you made a backup first if you did you can drop the database and upload the database again and use the code below to import

 

check the cofiguration_group in the database and see which is the last group number I change it to 18 since i have other mods installed

 

1) reverse out of your changes to the database (if you can't do this it might be easier to manually update as outlined below)

2) modify the first line of column_controller.sql in a text editor and change the number 14 to 18. (make sure you use a pure text editor - not MSword etc.)

3) modify the rest of the lines in column_controller.sql to change the 14 to 18 (it should be clear what to change - it is the fifth value in each line)

4) re-run database update

 

If not - you could just manually alter the appropriate values by editing the tables configuration and configuration_group using phpMyAdmin. you only need to change the configuration_group_id for column controller in the configuration_group table to 18 and then the configuration_group_id in the configuration table to 18 for those records associated with Column Controller. Reading column_controller.sql will show which records to change.

 

this is the correct database file log into your phpadmin and copy the following into sql box and and click go

In admin/column_controller.php change:

 

gID=15 to gID= (your group ID number)

 

where configuration_group_id = 15 to where configuration_group_id = (your group ID number)

 

Now it will take you to Column Controller and not Sessions.

 

Hope this helps. ;)
