here is what i was trying to post but it would not let me.. .

every time i try to post it takes me to the home page of PS and no post, why ? below in my reply is what i was originally trying to post, so agrivating that it would not let me. i had to finally put it in a quote to post it.

Hi, I ran a live test today, had my father sign up and use his cc to make a sale and i watched the whole process. Everything works good except a couple of things. On the paypal side: They do not make it clear that if you dont have a paypal account you just click the form with your information anyway and it will let you do a credit card. And then you can say no to create account. That could cost some sales right there, its totally confusing on their part. On the prestashop side: After the sale on the Paypal screen it says "return to my company name" as a link. We kept clicking on the link and nothing happened it was a dead link, we did this on chrome just fyi. I used chrome again to send some money to a friend of mine using his webisite (not prestashop) and that same link worked fine and i returned to his website with no problem after the sale. So i dont think its a paypal issue, it seems to me it might be an API form input value issue with prestashop form, i know there is a form input with paypal that you can use as part of the API to produce that link but i dont know why it would not work if it is done correctly which i assume it is, not sure because i dont know where it is. I believe the paypal API input form name is cbt and you can set the text for that link. Anyone have any issues with this also, and if so is there a fix? Thanks fyi i am using the latest version of prestashop. UPDATE: turns out the cbt is just to change the text itself, the return url still takes presidence. However in paypalusa.php i did find this 'paypal_usa_return_url' => /*26/12/2013 fix for Backward compatibilies on confirmation page*/ version_compare(_PS_VERSION_, '1.5', '<') ? (Configuration::get('PS_SSL_ENABLED') ? Tools::getShopDomainSsl(true) : Tools::getShopDomain(true)). __PS_BASE_URI__.'order-confirmation.php?id_cart='.(int)$this->context->cart->id.'&id_module='.(int)$this->id.'&key='.$this->context->customer->secure_key : $this->context->link->getPageLink('order-confirmation.php', null, null, array('id_cart' => (int)$this->context->cart->id, 'key' => $this->context->customer->secure_key, 'id_module' => $this->id)), looks like a patch was done in 2013 and i wonder if the fact that im use HTTPS has caused this issue and the patch is not working correctly. seems a coincedence that im having an issue with the confirmation page on paypal and yet this patch is placed on the same page. I hope im wrong and its a simple fix. Anyone gotta take on this? thanks sorry didnt notice you had a paypal section till now, can someone move this over to paypal forum please, thanks

curious why this does not work in modules/blockcart/blockcart.tpl <!-- captcha mod for cart --> {if $cart_qties <= 0} <literal> <script type="text/javascript"> alert('maint test only - please disregard this message'); </script> </literal> {/if} if i can get the maint test alert to work then i can add my captcha code. Maybe someone can dev a module where we can add an ip to a list, if the ip is on that list then they must prove they are human via customizable question captcha and answer before they can add products to a empty cart. So it would be just for the 1st product only then they would be ok after that to add.

I have my own personal captcha code, however im not sure where the cart process begins. If cart is empty i want to add a captcha before the first item can be added to a cart. Im getting alot of abandoned carts from bots im sure and i want to try to stop that. What file does the cart process begin when someone clicks on add to cart? latest version Thanks...

Hi, I made a little icon clock to match the color scheme of the other icons in the store contact info block. I use it for my store hours. Just copy the icon to a root images folder and it should find it. I didnt use the standard img folder because for some reason even when using ./ and ../ it could not find it. So i just put it in my root images folder. here is the code that i put right after the address section inside the /modules/blockcontactinfos/blockcontactinfos.tpl <!-- added --> <li> <i><img src="/images/clockicon.png" border="0" alt="office hours" /></i> Store Hours 8am - 5pm Monday - Friday </li> <!-- end add --> icon attached - maybe PS will us it in their next release and add store hours input field as well.. if anyone wants the psd file let me know.

so to update this, for chrome you just need to install the chrome rss extension since it does not come with a default rss reader like IE does. However firefox is different, i tried 3 different rss addons for firefox and nothing, still shows raw xml code. Now i did find this article here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1624614/rss-file-not-rendering-as-expected-in-firefox which is the same message i am getting regarding the style info. In that article you will see this quote So what do i need to do with FF to get the rss feed to show? here is a good article how to.. http://www.evagoras.com/2011/02/10/improving-an-xml-feed-display-through-css-and-xslt/

what address do i need to put in the rss feed input for the social block if i put https://mysite.com/modules/feeder/rss.php and click on the rss social icon, it shows the raw xml output.. please advise.. thanks actually it works with IE and shows the rss feed, but on chrome and FF it shows the raw xml output... why... thanks

Hi, if you are on the affiliate login page and you dont enter any info and hit enter, it gives you this error There is 1 error login is required in the corner of the page, which is fine but it looks hacky on the page. it looks like someone just echo'd out the php value rather than have a actual css delivered message. I just thought i might let you know in case you wanted to package that message a bit nicer...

Only way i could get it to work is to add the stock avail to the stock available table manually and remove the 1 inside of depends on stock field, then i took the 1 off of advanced stock management field in the product table. And it fixed it. I have no clue why this is like this.... if there is doc on advanced or someone knows please let me know and ill test it with a new product.. thanks

Hi, I just added a new product and when i click on quantity it shows me how many and the name (how many is 0) but it will not let me input anything in that space, there is no input field activated it just displays 0. I went to another product that was already created and the field is there and it will let me change the value. Why is it this way with no field on a new product though. I saved it and came back thinking i could do it that way but its still the same. Something is different between my current products and this new one. Thanks UPDATE... i checked out the DB to see if i could just add the quantity that way, and i noticed in the last column of the table advanced stock management this item is a 1 which means that this item is under advanced stock managent and the others are not. I guess i need to know how to set up new products without advance stock management...

here is why i ask if PS was going to add LI to the menu and use its own image, because of the results below from my template hack.

yes, the problem is that since the api is wrong you cant set up the module, it requires you to set up the module using the information gathered in the back office and sumitted via the form which is inside the config of the module. Since the api address is wrong you cant set the module. Even if i go directly to give it and sign up i cant enter my key code information because the module does not link to the right api in order to post that info, and you cant post it manully. Install the module yourself on 1.6 and read the directions you will see what i mean. Thanks

got it , they each get $x discount... as long as the friend makes a purchase

PS please fix your api link, it should be https://shops.give.it/sign-up/prestashop i think lol
