Sorted listing

Is there any reason why the results returned from a search does not work when either sort by ending, bids ,photo,title etc but stays sorted by price, althought if you click on sort by price it doesn't toggle neither.

Re: Sorted listing

I have uploaded the site to allow the sorted functions to be tested and to show you how its not working for me..
Try the featured items and then try to sort the display to anything other than price.

Please just use the standard functions as the site is not complete.

also is the following a server instaled module error:

Re: Sorted listing

Yes you need to ask your hosting company to install perl module Mail::POP3Cleint.

Re: Sorted listing

I do not knbow if you changed any coding or what version you have, anyway it is even on the demo working good:

http://mewsoft.com/cgi-bin/na/auction.cgi?action=Browse&Search=Featured&Status=1&Sorted=1&Sort=E&Dir=1&Page=1&Cat_ID=0&Lang=English


http://mewsoft.com/cgi-bin/na/auction.cgi?action=Browse&Search=Featured&Status=1&Sorted=1&Sort=E&Dir=0&Page=1&Cat_ID=0&Lang=English

SO what I can suggest is to email me to send you the software and update only the files:

search.pm, displaymain.pm

in ascii mode to your cgi-bin/auction directory, they may be corrupted or you changed any.

Re: Sorted listing

There was a small bug in the file "search.pm" in your cgi-bin/auction directory. Please anyone having this problem email me to get it.

Re: Sorted listing

My problem seems only to happen if i enter items via the phpadmin directly into the database rather than from the submit item form...
The data entered into the database as a test was entered exactly as in the format needed and loaded into the database via a insert data from txt file..everything displays and searches correctly , but it prevents the data sorting correctly.

Is there anything besides updating the category count and user track that the web submitting does and the load data from text file wouldn't.

We do not support other programs or scripts, you have to use the software features directly.

Re: Sorted listing

I can see theres going to be no point writing any power tools for mewsoft auctions then which is a bit silly as i have written some nice addon tools for other auction software which only encourages customers to both the auctions and mewsoft..
ie.
http://www.ok2bid.com/paxpwr/paxpwr.html
http://www.ok2bid.com/graphics/powerblue.gif
plus bulk lister and other software etc
help both ways where info is required is helpfull to all..


The whole reason for the information requested is to allow auction masters that i deal with who have auctions in another format to use a program i have written which exports their auction data to sql format that would populate the items and user data..

It only a possible 1100+ possible mewsoft future customers..
No one wants to tell their customers to readvertise all there items and loose content of thousands..

Actually these should be very easy to write as the software is open source code and you have everything in hand. For these tools check the file "sell.pm" and "additemlib.pm". The process is pretty straight forword but you must have a good perl programming experiance in general which I assume you are.

Re: Sorted listing

I am a c++ actuallly with minor perl and everything else, but i have no problem putting the data up to the database as my users are fine and the items display perfect, but something somewhere seems to be missing that prevents the sorting routines working.. if i put a few items up view the webpage they sort.... if i add a couple to the database via a insert items from textfile it stops the sort routines working..

If it was just my data then i would turn off the mail and upload all items with the data i have to hard, but i want others to follow me to mewsoft and be able to give them an importer..

is there a specific order which the perl adds the data to the database ? or anything like that , that is making the sorting not work as the data i add is totally inline with the data entered via the submit form when i check the database browse..

or a function that the program calls after the data has been inserted into the database

you can try the file search.pm,

change:

if ($Param{Dir} ==1) {$Dir = "ASC";} else{$Dir = "DESC";}

to :

if ($Param{Dir} ==1) {$Dir = "DESC";} else{$Dir = "ASC";}

It may help
