PrestaShop TIPS - Issues when your PrestaShop 1.4x at maintenance mode

Back ground information
This tips is for PrestaShop owner who are facing page error when you access your PrestaShop store at its maintenance mode.

As PrestaShop owner, you know there is a function that you can set your PrestaShop to maintenance mode to prevent user from accessing your store. You can set your store to maintenance mode at back office admin page.

Log in to your back office
Click Preference tab
Set "Enable store" to "No"
You can also set the some IP address to allow access from specific IP address




The issue
When you set your store at maintenance mode, general visitors will get an page error and most browsers will redirect visitor to some other pages or even goes to search page. Your store"maintenance message" only appears a few seconds. Below is images showing how this happens.

This is not good to your site, because it will give visitors wrong message.

This screen transit is from my Firefox browser.


This screen transit image is from my IE



Causes of the issue
Why this will happen?
This is because PrestaShop send a "HTTP/1.1 503 temporarily overloaded" message to visitor's browser. Here is code from PrestaShop 1.4x


header('HTTP/1.1 503 temporarily overloaded');
self::$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'maintenance.tpl');
exit;


Solution to the problem The solution to this issue is very easy.
what you need to do is to delete or comment out the following line by adding two "/" in front of the line.

//header('HTTP/1.1 503 temporarily overloaded');


Personally, I don't it is necessary and HTTP error to browser when the PrestaShop store under maintenance mode. It is not an HTTP at, it is normal maintenance mode.

Paypal Tips - Paypal error - This invoice has been paid

This is a tip for those online Store owners who are using Paypal as payment method.


The Problem
If you own multiple online stores and want you want to use one Paypal account to collect sales, then you will need to configure "allow invoice duplication", otherwise you may encounter following errors.

"This invoice has been paid. For more information, please contact merchant."




Why this error will happen?
Paypal has function to block duplication invoice, by default, this function is on.
So when your customer try to perform payment from different store, the invoice ID might be has been used from another store. So the error will be displayed.


Solution This can be fixed by changing one setting from within Paypal, so log in to your Paypal account do the following:

1. Click "Profile" on the top menu bar.
2. Click "My Selling Tools Preferences"
3. Look for "Block payments" and Click "Update"
4. Under "Block Accidental Payments", choose "No, allow multiple payments per invoice ID".




After this setting, the issue should be fixed.

PHP coding tips - Error URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

From time to time, you will need to get a web page content in your PHP code and use the content to generate some other contents.

For example, you have customer address, and you want to get Google Maps geocode of the address in your PHP code, you can use following code

$url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q" . $address . "&output=xml";
$xml = file_get_contents($url);

$status = $xml->Response->Status->code;
if ($status=='200') { //address geocoded correct, show results
$pos = explode(",",$xml->Response->Placemark[0]->Point->coordinates);
$geoLat = $pos[1];
$geoLng = $pos[0];
}

Problems
Some time you will find your call to the URL failed and get no result.

If you print out the error message, you will find something like this

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/index.php on line 222


Solution
In order to run file_get_contents($url), your server need be configured to allow PHP code calling URL access. This configuration is in php.ini file, with following line set value to "on"
allow_url_fopen = On;

So the simple solution to add above line in your php.ini file if it is not there.
Or you can just create one line php.ini file and put the file under your site root.
The issue should be resolved.

Happy coding....

PrestaShop Tip - Evaluate your store and your catalog

Evaluate your store Catalog in just one glance!

In order to get an overview of your store, and more specifically, your store Catalog , just go to the "Stats" tab of your PrestaShop store back office and then click to "Catalog evaluation" in the left panel of your back office page. (it is near the bottom of the left panel)




In a glance, you will find out the strong and weak points of your entire Catalog and also all the items contained in this contrast table. The colors at the intersection of the item and the field considered (description, images, sales, stock) allow you to find out whether or not you must act to improve your offer.


First of all, define the rules and then benefit from an overview of the items and the fields considered. In this way, you will know what you are doing well (for example, the descriptions) and what you need to improve (for example, stock management).




It is you as store owner, who defines the criteria to evaluate yourself: the descriptions, images, sales and stock. Take your time and think very carefully when drawing them up. Consider your products and your Catalog so that that there is consistency, if you sell digital goods you will not have the same criteria as somebody who sells electronics product.

Blackberry factory reset - email setting does not working

Today, I factory reset my Blackberry Torch 9800, but after reset I was not able to make email accounts works.

here are the symptoms:
1. When go email account setting, there are already existing two mail accounts there, they are the ones I set before. I am just wondering why those still stay there after factory reset.

2. I was not able to add new email accounts and not able to delete the accounts either. No options there, no menus there.

3. It prompts me to input password to validate the account. But even I input correct password, the following error message is always displayed:

"sorry, unable to continue your session. please log in again."

I searched on internet, tried to find a solutions. there are many suggestions and solutions out there for similar issue, but no one worked for me.

Here are what I have tried
- 3 times factory reset.
- remove battery
- remove SIM card
- remove "service books" under
Options - Device - Advanced - Advanced System Settings - Service book
- and many others
- It took almost 3 hours, still no result.

I was so disappointed, before I give up, I found a solution

1. Access to blackberry website from blackberry
http://mobile.blackberry.com

2. Choose your country or state

3. Then scroll down the page, until you find
Communicate - Email

4. Click the Email link and follow the email setup

You will be requested to move your email accounts, just follow all the instructions and when you finished it, you are done.

Why?
No idea, but I guess the email account are cached some where on Blackberry service server. Something like and DHCP IP address. when your device address is changed, but the server is still using your old address?

Below is the video script for your references.

Agile Multiple Seller Installation Guide

This video will demonstrate how to install and configure the Agile Multiple Seller module from Addons-Modules.com.

Installation

To get started with the installation, we are assuming you have the Agile Multiple Seller module on your local computer and that you are already logged into the PrestaShop Back Office.

Start by clicking on the Modules Tab.

Next, click "Add a module from my computer." This will expand a new section of the page called “Add a new module.”

Since the Agile Multiple Seller module is on your local computer, click the “Browse” button of the “Module file” input box.

This will bring up a new window where you can find the location of the Agile Multiple Seller module and choose that zipped folder. Then, click "Upload this module."

After the module is uploaded, go to the search bar and enter “Agile.” Select the Agile Multiple Seller module from the list. Prestashop will then take you to that module.

Now, you need to install the module by clicking the “Install” button.


After Installation

With the module installed, open your FTP program and connect to your Store’s files.

Copy the Category.php file from the following location:

YourStoreRoot/modules/agilemultipleseller/override/classes/Category.php

Now, paste that file into the following location:

YourStoreRoot/override/classes/Category.php

The next step is to verify that the Agile Multiple Seller Module automatically modified several core files. If the following files were not modified, for some reason, you will need to modify them manually, or the module will not work.

Check to be sure these three files have the modifications noted:
(The module installer has automatically taken care of this changes)

Modification #1:
• Affects: YourStoreRoot/admin/index.php
• Before following line:
o If ($id_tab = checkingTab($tab))
• Add following line
o If(Module::isInstalled('agilemultipleseller'))include(PS_ADMIN_DIR.'/../modules/agilemultipleseller/tabtranslator.php');
Modification #2:
• Affects: YourStoreRoot/admin/ajax_category_list.php
• Replace following line:
o If (Tools::getValue('token') != Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminCatalog'))
• With this line:
o If (Tools::getValue('token') != Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminCatalog') AND Tools::getValue('token') != Tools::getAdminToken('AdminCatalog'.(int)(Tab::getIdFromClassName('AgileCatalog')).(int)($cookie->id_employee)))
Modification #3:
• Affects: YourStoreRoot/admin/tabs/AdminCatalog.php
• Change the following two lines from "private" to "protected"
o private $adminCategories; becomes protected $adminCategories;
o private $adminProducts; becomes protected $adminProducts;

• Change the following two lines from "private" to "protected"
o private $adminCMSCategories; becomes protected $adminCMSCategories;
o private $adminCMS; becomes protected $adminCMS;

Configure the Module

With the module installed and the files verified, click the “Configure” hyperlink.

There are two sections on this page. The first being the “Settings” section and below that is the “Seller Profile Info” section.

Settings Section:

We’ll start with the “Settings” section. In this section, there are several choices to make. The first option asks you to choose whether the Store will collect all the money from a sale or if Sellers will collect money from the sale. For this example, we will choose “Store collects all payments.”

If you choose “Seller collects all payments,” you will need to be sure you are using a payment module that you have purchased from Addons-Modules.com due to the additional information that must be retrieved. If you use a payment module that was not created by Addons-Modules, the transaction will not be processed correctly, or at all.

Next, you’ll need to decide if you want to allow any Customer to become a Seller. Let’s click this check box.

If you choose not to click this check box, you can manually set up Sellers by adding them in the Employees Tab and then set their profile to “agilemultipleseller.”

The next option allows you to sign Customers up to a Seller’s account automatically. If you do not choose to sign Customers up automatically, but you did choose to allow Customers to become Sellers, the Customer can manually sign up for a Sellers account in their My Account area of the Front Office.

As noted in the previous option, you can manually set up Sellers by adding them in the Employees Tab and then set their profile to “agilemultipleseller.”

The next option allows you to choose whether or not your seller can create and edit categories. If you want them to be able to edit categories, check the box. For this example, we won’t check the box. That means that sellers can add products, but they cannot add nor edit categories.

The final selection se can make is the “Seller Info tab” check box. Here, you can choose to display a “Seller Info” tab in your Product Detail pages.

For instance, if you’ve checked the box and a customer views a Product Detail page in the Front office, a new tab will appear with the details the seller wants the customer to see such as their company name, address, and phone numbers. The seller can also display their location via a Google Map.

Lastly, if you made any changes, be sure you click the “Save” button.

Seller Profile Info Section:

The Seller Profile Info section points out that a new employee profile called “agilemultipleseller” was created when the module was installed.

You can view this new profile by going to the Employees tab and then the Profiles sub-tab.

You can change the permissions of the “agilemultipleseller” profile by going to the Employees tab, then the Permissions sub-tab. Then select the “agilemultipleseller” profile.

Please be sure you review the Maintenance Notes section as it contains important information to keep your module running smoothly.

Conclusion

That concludes this demonstration of how to install and configure the Agile Multiple Seller module.
