I have compiled an article of some of the bugs in phplinkbid v 1.2. These bugs often get mentioned but never fixed. Bugs and their fixes include : Bug 1 - Broken page after paypal payment Bug 2 - Minimum Bid not showing up in the input box Bug 3 - Minimum bid for new listings has no effect Bug 4 - Broken URL displayed after paypal payment You can read about the bugs and how to fix them on your site here : http://www.zorg-links.com/blog/2007/08/27/bugs-to-fix-in-phplinkbid/ - Bugs to fix in your phpLB bidding directory Feedback Appreciated, Mike
Gonna add something that isn't necessarily a bug, but a must fix as well... Increasing the length of the category text. Where to find it?? Mike's blog of course... here is link to make it easy. http://www.zorg-links.com/blog/2007/08/09/phplb-mod-how-to-enable-longer-category-descriptions/ Lance
Error fix mentioned for after payment error generated a line 106 error for me. My friend helped fix it, but then its showing error link like: xyz.com:80/biddingdir/link/link/33.html after payments. Kindly look into it plz.
Inside Mikey's blog, where it tells you to edit around line 107, replace it with this instead $bid_message .= "<p><b><a href=\"" . $cfg->getVar(’site_url’) . "link/" . $this_id . ".html\">" . $cfg->getVar(’site_url’) . "link/" . $this_id . ".html</a></p>"; Code (markup):
But then its showing error link like: xyz.com:80/biddingdir/link/link/33.html after payments. I guess you came across the same...
lol, I never even used a link bid script. I just copied and pasted the code from his site into my editor and realized that the line will produce a syntax error (may depend on what type of editor your using). As for what the code does exactly, I would have no clue but the fact that it assigns some html to a variable that gets printed out.....
? depends don. If you copied and pasted from Mikey's blog and you receive no syntax error, then you probably won't need the fix I gave to humm. It will depend on your text editor.
Oh thanks for the clarification Leopard. No syntax error for me so i'm stick with old one code. I thought its common solution for all thats why asking
I think it's better to wait for the 1.4 version.. I want to fix some. One of the bugs I wanted to fix, but didn't work. (Not mentioned in mikey's blog)
Yeah - please let me know. I can code very well and know the script pretty well now so it would be quite simple for me to fix it
sure. It's the bid amount that gets changed on confirmation page. I think it's a step 2 page. You input the amount but on that page, it changed back to the default #. I checked on phplb forum for it, but the fix apparently didn't work... ** editing /content/buy.php, and change line 67 from header('Location:' . DIR_BASE . 'link/' . $linkid . '.html&bid=' . $_REQUEST['link_bid']); To: header('Location:' . DIR_BASE . 'link/' . $linkid . '.html?bid=' . $_REQUEST['link_bid']); Well, it didn't work for mine. Do you guys have any clue?
http://www.zorg-links.com/blog/2007/08/27/bugs-to-fix-in-phplinkbid/#bug2 try reading bug 2. If your default bid is $1, this will be the reason for the error.
