This looks like an AWESOME item. I can't install it quite yet (have to clean up something I messed up elsewhere in the shop), but I wanted to say kudos to coming up with such a creative idea, and also to the coding!

Oh rats, bumping this again. Followed your directions, Dan, and it worked like a charm. Now everything looks nice and in proportion... except now it's showing part of the address after the images:

http://www.lupous.net/candy/index.php?action=shop;do=buy

If I could figure out what was causing it, I'd go ahead and fix it myself... but I'm so code stupid sometimes, it's sad. (No rush on this, just something strange that cropped up)

On the topic of RC3... if we do want to upgrade to the new versions of SMF, are we going to basically lose all the work on our shops because we have to re-install everything?  If so, is there an easy way to maybe back up items/inventories/everyone's money? I did a little dance last night at the news of the release, until I realized this.

I've recently been under attack by spam bots, so I'd really like to use the CAPTCHA option (that, and the red "Out of date!" warning in the ACP bugs me). I'm holding off on upgrading though until I know I won't lose the shop

I was wondering too I wanted to be sure I could upgrade successfully before I started messing around with the image thing, but it still seems to be doing the constraint thing

Hey Dan, I'm wondering... is there a way I can set the shop's item images to not have a minimum or maximum? (or at least set it to where it won't resize everything?)

I have some images that are 25x25px and one that's 36x100, and so on, and so on. At the moment, everything gets squished or stretched to where it doesn't look right. I could set it at 100x100, and then resize every image individually, but that'd be a pain. Was hoping there would be a simpler solution I havne't thought of (I tried typing 0 and 0 into the image part of the shop settings, but that basicaly shrunk everything down to nothing).

Well I've made a temporary fix, messing with a htaccess file. I'll try coding it different, perhaps on a test forum The fix is working for now though.

This sounds like it would be a lot of fun! But I've got no idea on the kind of coding

Just figured out I'm apparently blind and didn't see the "E-mail Admin" item, which can easily be used for most of the things I was wanting.

So I guess the only thing I really need to figure out right now is the item generator and how to hide certain items from showing up in the shop.

(Thanks so much for your patience Some days I'm just a little bit more than slow)

One more update on me and my strange server problems. I found a temporary fix so I can meddle with the shop files and such, although since my server will likely get mad at me for messing with their hacker protection, I probably should fix the code so it's the mod_security approved i the near future.

I'm a little, brand new, to coding, so I'm not sure if it's possible. From what it sounds like from the server people, the hacker protection software doesn't like the id string in the URL line. Is there an easy way for me to fix that, or am I going to need extensive php knowledge to work around it?

Well... I did a little research on 403's, and found that they're mostly server concerned. With that information I went to my server, and I said, "Hey! You! What's up?", actually... I explained everything in detail and they came back pretty quick with this:

" It appears that a security mechanism that is inplace on the server is causing this error due to the fact that ;id=1 appears in the URL.  There are many PHP related attacks which are carried out through arbitrary code injections and the URL being called by the script in some places fits the common criteria for these attacks."

Which you know, explains why no one else seems to be having the problem.

When I was looking at the code earlier I know the part they don't like is something used throughout the script, so I'm guessing it's something I'd have to do for my forum individually. Is there any way I could change it to something else so that I could still use it? I'm really in love with this mod, the more and more I try to get it to work, funnily enough...

Hey Dan (sorry, I'm bumping this again and asking the same question), but is there a part of the file that's calling for the index?

I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of this darn error. The permissions seem to check out, but is there a particular way they're configured on your server that I may be overlooking? (I'm pretty sure everything is 777, but something could've gotten by me)

This error was plaguing some of my members when they first logged onto the site (it was after an upgrade that I had done manually... because I hadn't quite figured out the package server yet), but it's disappeared until now. I'm not sure an uninstall/reinstall would work, but I could give it a try.

I haven't really looked at the code, but is there any reason it should be trying to access the index page?

All right, I gave you 200 in pocket and 50 in the bank. That should be enough for a little shopping spree

Thanks Daniel.

It's at http://www.lupous.net/candy

It's (sort of) hidden on the SMF Default Theme, while the rest of the forum is displayed on a little offshoot of it. I checked all of the permissions, and both the directory and index file are 777, so I don't think that's the problem...

It's another redeemable coupon thing. Was just wanting to set something up where members could sell their souls--er, hard work, on the market if they chose to.

Thanks! I know you're busy, so I can be a patient little lemming I'm waiting to try and work out the kinks before I go live with this mod.
