Prices Not Changing/Admin Donations

[bishop93]

I've installed it all by the book. Three times in fact. Twice on a dev board and now on the production board. This time, however, the price changes show up in the Admin. But they are not reflected on the user side.

Likewise, Admin's cannot donate to anyone. Says that they do not have enough points.

Thanks in advance.

Can you be more specific on the prices not changing? Does it just show the previous price? Considering the admin side and the user side pulls its info from the same place, if one changes the other one would as well.

As for the admin donate - are they using the admin donate or the donate action? If they are using the normal donate action, they need as much points they are donating + tax. If they are using the admin donate action, then they would only need 0 points. ;)

1) As I was making screen shots for you, I realized something. I hadn't looked at the two screen next to each other, just flipped back and forth and noticed they weren't the same. However, looking at them closely side by side, I see that they are CLOSE to the same. There's just a little added to each one except Thief!. Now, I got to looking more closely at the Admin side and I saw the Tax box. I hadn't really thought about it. But does that add a % to the price? If so, that's the problem and nothing wrong with the store at all. I'm merely blind and dumb.

2) Admin donate. Umm ... see last sentence above. Got it now. :D

Yeah, the tax is actually added to the price on the main store page.

[bishop93]

Thanks. I'm glad you asked for more detail. I'd have never seen it quite that way.

[bishop93]

Quick question though.

Is there a way to Admin Donate to everyone at the same time? We'd like to do opening promo for our members.

Not by any action, although you can run a MySQL query to do it.

Something like this:
UPDATE user SET uttpoints=uttpoints+X;
where X is the amount of points you want to add.

When I try to do an admin donate from the postbit, I get an error that the action does not exist...although it does.

[Link14716]

Is it set to active? If the action is not active, that is the error you'd get.

[Roxie]

Yes. It is set to active.

[Link14716]

Ok, well are you an administrator (usergroupid = 6)? If you are in a different usergroup, you'd have to add it to the allowed usergroups. Otherwise, it shouldn't give that error.

[Roxie]

I have owner, admin and mods able to donate through admindonate, but we all get the same error. I also have it to show in the store, but it doesn't. It's odd. Should I try removing it and then adding the action back?

[Link14716]

Well, the action actually not existing, not set as active, or the user not being allowed to access it will all result in the Action Not Found error. I wouldn't think deleting it and re-adding it would help.

[Roxie]

I understand that. But it does exist, it's active, and I am allowed to access it. So perhaps a glitch, an error, a bug? I've gone through it so many times...I don't know anymore.

Want me to take a look at it?
