This is quick and simple mod, but I thought it was needed for computer luddites out there.

If you enter in a gift certificate and happen to copy the previous or trailing blanks space around the number, you will get an invalid gift certificate error. Here's how to fix it (it's easy):

In your payment/payment_giftcert.php file...

Change this:

#
# Checking GC if it's already applied to order
#
$gc_applied = false;

to this

#
# Checking GC if it's already applied to order
#
$gcid = trim($gcid);

$gc_applied = false;

Pretty simple, but it works really well and will help cut down on errors and the subsequent support inquiries.

The file is actually: payment/payment_giftcert.php

[machnhed1]

Good spot. I'll fix my original post.

Hope you found it useful nonetheless.

[dealsondeals]

Very Useful! I apologize for not saying so in my previous post.

Thanks,

Glen

This is an old thread, but thought maybe someone out there has modded their customer coupons to do the same thing...

Trim the copy pasted number free of blank spaces?

if so how?

markwhoo,

I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about. Can you describe what you mean in more detail? I may be able to help.

Originally you trimmed the gift certificate code to remove possible blank spaces when it was copied and pasted into gc window.

I always have people complain that the code does not work and I tell them to simply type it in and all is well with the world; and always have to tell them why it happened; and it is due to the blank spaces being copied with the code.

I thought that maybe I could incorporate this into that area and would eliminate this issue.

I looked at the code for the coupons, but it is not laid out the same.

If I were a php guru, I would be making mods out the wazzoo, so I am crippled at this point and was hoping someone else had the same issue and a fix.


Any ideas?

[machnhed1]

Gotcha.

In your /modules/Discount_Coupons/discount_coupons.php file...

Change this:

if ($mode=="add_coupon" && $coupon) {
#
# Check if coupon is valid
#

to this

if ($mode=="add_coupon" && $coupon) {

$coupon = trim($coupon);

#
# Check if coupon is valid
#
