Thinking about building an e-commerce plugin...

You’re doing excellent work. Thanks. I’ll check it out and report.

Hi everyone, thanks for the responses.

sthmtc said not sure if you’re aware of this one: i tried to add a new country/region and it returned the following sql error:
Column ‘shipping_rate_id’ cannot be null

Thanks for pointing that out. I tracked down the issue and this problem should affect everyone. Run this sql to fix that issue:

ALTER TABLE shipping_zones CHANGE shipping_rate_id shipping_rate_id INT( 11 ) NULL DEFAULT '0'

also here’s a (hopefully smallish) request (maybe it’s too early anyways..): i’d love to be able to customize the order confirmation based on the payment method the client chose. that’s very helpful if you offer money order…

I haven’t built the order confirmation functionality yet – I’ll keep that in mind when I do.

it was already mentioned in this thread but i just wanted to let you know that it happens to me as well:
clicking on “content” and “admin” just brings up a blank page…

Uh oh. I have no idea why this is happening to some people and not others. I have some questions that might help me identify the bug:

What version of TXP are you running?
Is it installed on a sub-domain?
What other plugins do you have installed? (I’m thinking it might be a plugin conflict.)
What version of MySQL are you running?

To help identify what exactly is happening, I just made a minor update release to the plugin (0.0.5.1). I turned on error reporting for the plugin. Hopefully this well help us get some real info instead of just blank screens.

Thanks!

Just a quicky error: visits is mispelled. “Vists in the last 7 days” on the dashboard.

Whoops. He he. This will be fixed in tonight’s build.

What kind of testing would you like done? What’s priority? What should I try to break?

Anything not listed in the “known bugs” can be pounded away at. Thanks!

4.0.4
no
none
MySQL 5.0.19

everything runs on my local MAMP development server on OS X. unfortunately i have no idea how to update the plugin or how to access the diagnostics now that “admin” just brings up a blank page :)

Well that does make things difficult. :-) Try running this SQL if you ever need to disable the plugin and the admin interface isn’t working.

UPDATE txp_plugin SET status = 0 WHERE name = 'ln_txp_commerce'

that worked, thanks — here’s the error:

for “article”:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare article_post() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/txpcommerce/textpattern/include/txp_article.php on line 57

for “admin”:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare admin() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/txpcommerce/textpattern/include/txp_admin.php on line 60

A-hah! That’s a very helpful error. Thanks!

I just put out another version of the plugin (0.0.5.2). See if that fixes the problem.

[EDIT:] I think the root cause of this error is if people are running php with register_globals off. For some reason this error pops up if register_globals is off. Hopefully this update will fix that issue.

Hi Levi
We had dreamed it, you did it! What a plugin!

Some few things (ln_txp_commerce version 0.0.5.1) :

1)° Same problem like sthmtc : when I click on admin tab I’ve got a blank page The url show …index.php?event=prefs.

2)° In France, and others european countries, the tax can’t be rounded. Here it’s 19,6% and not 20%. So could you change that.

Tks lot Levi.

Ick. I’ll start seriously debugging this. For the time being, to get around this error, try turning on register_globals in your PHP config. This isn’t a long-term fix but it should let you see the plugin.

i’ve turned register_globals on but i still see the error when trying to access “content” and “admin”…

Well now I’m really mystified. I’ll get back to you on this.
