WP Auctions
Another Test AuctionThis is an example of an auction in a post. Copy this URL and see for yours... - more...Ending: 19th Jun 2010Going for
$1.50
I am using WP Auctions 3.3 in WordPress 2.8.6. It works great with auctions in posts. However in Manage Auctions, the delete function does not work. I cannot delete unwanted auctions.
Thanks
@Chris: are you using any admin-side plugins that may interfere with the code on the page?
Thanks for the fast reply. The only other plugins are Akismet and Google Analytics for WordPress.
Hmm, there should be nothing stopping it. When you click Delete you should be getting a Javascript confirmation. Is this coming up at all? Is your browser reporting any Javascript errors ?
My mistake. The delete functions does work. I had only tried it on one auction. It works fine on other auctions, but there is one which won’t go away. It is not much of a problem now that all the other old auctions are gone.
The bad delete link is incomplete. The link is
javascript:if(‘confirm(Delete auction\’
with nothing following it.
Maybe it will be there forever.
Thanks
Actually .. you might have uncovered a bug there
I’ll take an educated guess here: does your auction name have an apostrophe (‘) in it?
Excellent guess! The auction name is “Reclining Connected Forms”
It was the second auction I created, and I can’t remember the result, but I recall that I had to redo it for some reason. The new version of that auction has no quotes in the name and works fine.
Well, there’s a new version in the works, I’m off to squish the bug to make sure you’ll be able to delete auctions with quotes in them
When using the upload control to upload an image, I get the following message:
Http:error: with photoname.jpg:error #500
There are no errors in the error log on the server.
Folder permissions are set correctly.
Any suggestions?
Hi Darryl, this could be a server issue. Your domain URL goes to an error page though.
Ahoy mate…just purchased the plugin to use on our site…a couple of hiccups:
Styles don’t seem to work at all (tried changing permissions on style folder up to 777, but no go) I assume styles will change text colour for bid description (for example) which currently only prints black and that won’t work on our site.
Can the bid increment be changed? I see others have asked, but no solutions yet?
Otherwise, great plugin! Should be useful for many…
One more thing…we use the “shutter reloaded” plugin and the image popup for WP Auction fights with it – if ye click the image it opens in BOTH – shutter on top, if ye close, the Auction image browser is still there…somewhere I can change this behavior?
BTW, we are using “auction in page”
sorted out the issue with shutter reloaded, it has an option to exclude pages, did that WP Auctions photos work as they should.
Just noticed something with styles – although they don’t seem to change at all in either browser, in IE there is a white background for the text – not in Firefox, there is NO background and text is black.
FYI page is presently here…

Ahoy Capt. Swallow, the page seems to be empty. (btw, love your username)
Sorry mate – seems I had the page marked ‘private’ instead of just hiding the link, should work now:

I see, that’s actually a CSS issue. Thanks for pointing that out to us.
Here’s the fix:
1. Open up wp_apost.css from the plugin files.
2. The first line has this bit of code in it
.wpauction { background: #fff !important !important;3. Remove the extra !important, so you should be left with:
.wpauction { background: #fff !important;That should solve the background issue.
Remember to save the file/re-upload it to the right folder should you need to.
Cheers, Hyder – that worked brilliantly!
Now…not to be a pest, but do ye have a solution to the styles not implementing – tried after the above fix, but still “plain”.
Looks fine, just might be nice to work the colour angle if possible…
In other news…thought I’d sorted out the bidding increments fix, but not quite…think I’m missin’ extra bits o’ math following the
“helper function to calculate increment based on amount…”
Changed value, looked like it worked, but after someone bid, the next amount is + $5 instead o’ + $100
Help?!?
Hi there,
The next version of the plugin (currently in test) will have an option so you can configure your increments. Can I suggest you revert your code back what it originally was and hold on for the next version.
Configuration options give us the flexibility to roll out new fixes and functionality retaining any configuration changes you make. If you start playing around with the code we won’t be able to support you if/when you break the plugin

No worries mate…all sorted
The more I see o’ this plugin the more I like it (and the support has been pretty spectacular)!
BTW, I asked a styles question previously (they don’t seem to work on a page inclusion)…if they only work with the pop-up, can I use the pop-up from a link on a page/post?
Thanks again in advance…yer champs…
Yes, you can use the popup from a link in a page or post. Here’s the code for that -
< a href = " http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-auctions/auction.php?ID=1&height=710&width=805&modal=true " rel="nofollow" >Link TextPlease remove the spaces.
1. Change the “ID=1″ to your auction ID, it’s available from your Manage area.
2. The class=”thickbox” is important for the auction pop-up to appear.
For the life of me I can’t figure out what you mean by styles not working in a page inclusion. Sorry.
Cheers for that code snippet.
The style issue – under “other settings” in the main plugin admin is a dropdown for styles, which I assumed would alter the look of the auction – it has no effect on an auction posted on a page (as opposed – I assume, to the auction pop-up).
Maybe I answered me own question?
One other suggestion – if I may – in the auction, it says “Going For” above the opening bid, perhaps “Opening Bid” would be more specific.
FTP Seems all good, thanks. One thing though, it’s not leading winners to our paypal as we requested? Hmmm..
Don’t know why the paypal link would not be working. Let us know if it persists.
