Hello Everyone new to opencart.. Looking pretty good. Hope Community Support is helpful:)

How do you put items on the featured module?

Is there something I have to add to the Product (Autocomplete) section?

by **sinbad** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 8:50 pm

Modules > Featured
start typing the product name in the input field.

Hi.

I can use featured module with no problem in 1.5.1.3 version but in 1.5.1.2 I cannot add any products into it. It dont autocomplete and it dont work with full product name either. I have tested this now in three different default installations, with latest FF and IE. Is there something changed in the version that could have something to do with server settings or what could be the reason?

Is there any workaround how to add products there manually, if I can not get it to work?

ask your server host to install mb_string() php module

I am seeing this issue too on another persons site. I was going to upgrade them to 1.5.1.3 but perhaps uksitebuilder's clue will help

My host says that php-mbstring is already at the current version.

Update: Installing this mbstring did fix it, so thanks a lot for the info!

Here is link how to do it if anyone else needs it installed in WHM:
http://serverfault.com/questions/149122/whm-cpanel-enable-install-mbstring-module

But now I encounter another problem. I have "make offer" module installed and after I add featured product, I get this following error: (shop still looks ok and featured item is visible)

Notice: Undefined variable: result in /home/mysite/public_html/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_controller_module_featured.php on line 51
Notice: Undefined variable: result in /home/mysite/public_html/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_controller_module_featured.php on line 53

Here is the code from line 51 forward in that file:

Code: Select all: $discounts = $this->model_catalog_product->getProductDiscounts($result['product_id']); $this->load->model('fido/make_offer'); if ($this->config->get('make_offer_status') && ($this->model_fido_make_offer->getOfferedProduct($result['product_id']) || $this->config->get('make_offer_all_products') || ($this->config->get('make_offer_zero_price') && ($result['price'] == 0)))) { $make_offer = true; } else { $make_offer = false; }

I would be super super grateful if anyone could find a fix for it.

Probably best to PM Fido-X on this error, I believe it is his module

Hello,

My auto complete function is not working either - not in Featured products, nor in Related ones. And I am using OC1.5.1.3 version + eCart theme. What may cause the problem?

by **JonathanM** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 3:40 pm

Well there is no answer from Fido-X, like was expected. They dont have time or interest to give any kind of support anymore. I have also tested with different versions with same results, so its fair to say Make Offer it is not compatible with featured. Maybe thats why they also disabled featured module in their demo site.

Now the options are that some kind soul would figure out the fix for this, or then need to find some other extension to present group of sertain products in the front page. Anyone willing to look deeper into code?

Does it work in default shop, before installing the theme? Then you would know if the problem has to do with your server or with the theme or extension.

As far as I remember it was not working in the fresh install either.
The hosting company told me that mb_string() php module is already installed. Anyone have a clue on the problem?

by **uksitebuilder** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 5:15 pm

Alas JonathanM without seeing the code it is nigh on impossible to debug, and as it is a commercial mod you purchased, you should try to persevere with Fido-X - He is a long standing community member since the days of Y'or so I'm sure he will contact you soon. Maybe he is on holiday or something

@misscaprice - See this post to test if mbstring truly is installed -> viewtopic.php?f=20&t=41481&p=199789#p199755

by **misscaprice** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 5:30 pm

Well just tried this. What I receive is

aeiou

Does this mean it is not installed? the guy from the server support double checked it

My host also said it is installed, but when I check myself it was not. I dont know much at all about running a server, but I managed to google and find out how to check it in my server. My support actually admit in second message that they are not familiar with the module I am talking about. It was related to EasyApache (Apache Update) in my case.

by **misscaprice** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 10:21 pm

Well, the characters appear with the apostrophes just like UKsitebuilder shows.
So, the php module is working.
My OC version is the newest 1.5.1.3
And auto-complete is still not working.
Do you have any other ideas?

by **JonathanM** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 10:38 pm

I dont know what is wrong then. Actually for my understanding 1.5.1.3 version should not even require mbstring for autocomplete to work. Autocomplete worked well in my 1.5.1.3 shop even mbstring was not turned on that time. Only 1.5.1.2 needed that in my server. Have you tried reinstalling shop? (long shot, I know)

by **misscaprice** » Thu Nov 10, 2011 5:33 pm

Ok, finally get it working. Was issue with the theme.

Jonathan and uksitebuilder, thanks a lot for ideas. Reinstalling, oh no, it was the last possible option. Done too much coding into the system
