Bidding Confirm glitch

I had a user forward an email to me where it said she had been outbid by another user. In fact, she HAD been outbid, but the email said

Your User ID: jenglory

but really jenglory was the person who outbid her.

I checked my user database and all the fields are correct.

Re: Bidding Confirm glitch

Are you using the latest versions? make sure you have the latest *.cgi and *.pm files specialley bidding.pm module. Can you test this on our demo site.

Again any one else have this issue?

Re: Bidding Confirm glitch

I just got the script a few weeks ago, I posted the build on my post above. I will try the demo, but someone will have to outbid me to see if it happens.

somebody please outbid me.

Re: Bidding Confirm glitch

Well, I outbid myself with a second identity. But the first identity never got any outbid notice. (?!)

Re: Bidding Confirm glitch

OK, I realized I never got an outbod notice on the demo auction because I bid on a dutch auction. SO I went back and bid on a single item, in your demo auction, and I WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ERROR.

First I bid as chief. Then I outbid myself, as chief2. chief has the email address: chief@mlparena.com. chief2 has the email address chief2@mlparena.com.

This is the email I got:

Item ID #: 1095234407
Title: tyhjtyhtyhtyh

Your User ID: chief2
Your Email Address: chief@mlparena.com <--THIS IS THE ERROR!
Quantity of items desired: 1
Your current bid per item: $2.00
Your maximum bid per item: $2.00
Total value of your bid: $2.00 (quantity x bid amount)

Re: Bidding Confirm glitch

Would you possibly be able to tell me what update you would like on those files? Or where I can download the updated files?

Re: Bidding Confirm glitch

I hope I'm not speaking out of place for answering this Ahmed....

Chief,
You have to go to the main site and "My Account". Enter in your License number, then click "Email to me" and it emails the updated program to you. All you have to do then is unzip it and upload the two files to your server and it's ready to go.

Hope this helps....



Exactly as you explained. Thank you
