I do everything you say,everything works fine except status: online-offline, allways is off, can you help me?

[ggedamed]

I suspect wrong spelling of the Yahoo ID.

I did this module just for exercise, the only code in it (beside the code that makes it a module) is this line:

if ($y['yahooid']) $status = @file_get_contents('http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u='.$y['yahooid'].'&m=t&t=1') == '01' ? 'online' : 'offline';

It checks the status and returns 'online or 'offline' strings.

Try entering this in the browser's address bar (use your real Yahoo ID instead of 'YOUR_ID' part :lol: ):

Quote

opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YOUR_ID&m=t&t=1

You should get '00' or '01' answers, depending on the status of your ID.

Or you could try changing the last digit to 0, if you like more verbose answers.

Thank you for your answer. I try enter the line you give me to browser and works fine, when online and when offline, my yahoo ID is correct, but still I`am allways offline for my site...anything else? Will link to my page help? Thank you in advance...

@artshop

Right now it works. To be honest I don't know why [it didn't work before and it works now]. I suspect Yahoo black voodoo.

If it is happening again, let me know.

[artshop]

Once again thank you for your help....

Read this: http://www.prestasho...bled_transplant.

I would really appreciate if you would search the forum before asking me to do the search.

And don' rely on the romanian translation of the Prestashop for the Back Office, it confuses you.

10x I found.....

Try the new version. I removed 3 hooks (which were not used anyway) and it seems to me that the page loads faster. And please, give me some feedbak.
As soon I will have more time I will look into it.

Best regards.

I installed the module and I dont want to show it in the center column of the products.. where should I edit?


Please sorry for my bad english, and thanks again.

Back Office >> Modules >> Positions.
Check Display non-positionnable hook.
Go down to Extra actions on the product page (right column).
Press the little red x to the right of the module.

Thanks a lot for the module and for help!

I tried this module but it made my website loading very slow.
But thanks anyway.Maybe it is just that my hosting is slow to load this module.

[AffordableFiberOptics]

First of all, I love the module. THANK YOU!

I have a formatting problem. If I add a "call-to-action" telephone number in the product listing, the text is too far to the left of the block. The text is on top of the phone image.

Is there a way to change that? It looks fine on the right side of the page but only occurs when viewing a product.

Thanks for your help.
Patrick

No, it's the Yahoo server the takes ~500ms (in my case) for every enabled ID. To make it clear you should time your site with the module installed versus uninstalled.
I just released version 0.7. This one makes simultaneous requests, so it should help if you have more than one enabled ID.

Hi, Patrick! Thank you for your interest.
The just released 0.7 version has a corrected .css file that should help you.
