$10 gift certificate to admin@aabox.com?

[Lynoure]

My MS2-MAX 1.5 sends a $10 gift certificate to admin@aabox.com every time someone creates an account in the webstore. The gv number stays same: 5dd5cb. Why does it happen? How can I stop it?

I suspect it might have something to do with Affiliates, but when I try to access any of the Affliates information, like e.g. Summary, I get

Access Denied
No Right Permission Access
Please contact your Web Administrator to request
more access or if you found any problem.

Is there some directory in which more permissions are needed?

Lynoure, it is not related to affiliates. It is the default GV setting. Do a search here, disabling this has been discussed at length. Here is the search term: disable gift voucher

Here is the thread: http://oscdox.com/index.php?name=PNp...e+gift+voucher


Also, it looks like you are not fully configured in the admin. You need to add permissions in the administrators section of the max admin, so that you have access to the files.

These are enabled by default on MS2MAX, so I wonder what else is wrong with your install...?

It's a weird default setting. I guess admin@aabox.com then has filters for those messages.
Other than that I haven't had any problems with permissions and have been able to do everything though admin interface. I don't think I have done any weird fiddling with my install either, but I did update it with the newest patch. I looked at the Admistrator section and the group the admin account belongs to (Top Administrator) had already access to Affiliates.

I re-read the thread you pointed at. I found it before posting my question but it doesn't seem to answer my question: why does that coupon get resent over and over again to admin@aabox.com? Shouldn't it rather go to the person who registered? (It does explain why a gv goes to the person who registered, but that happening is just fine for now.) I tried grepping for that address as well and couldn't find the address in question in the whole catalog/includes/ directory.

I had the same problem. What I found was that MAX is missing two database configuration keys that allow changing this. Add the two SQL statements to you catalog then goto ADMIN -> CONFIGURATION -> MY STORE. You will find two entries to enable/disable the gift certs being sent on account creation.

These statements came straight from the SQL file that accompanies the Gift Voucher mod.

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Welcome Gift Voucher Amount', 'NEW_SIGNUP_GIFT_VOUCHER_AMOUNT', '0', 'Welcome Gift Voucher Amount: If you do not wish to send a Gift Voucher in your create account email put 0 for no amount else if you do place the amount here i.e. 10.00 or 50.00 no currency signs', 1, 31, NULL, '2003-12-05 05:01:41', NULL, NULL);

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Welcome Discount Coupon Code', 'NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON', '', 'Welcome Discount Coupon Code: if you do not want to send a coupon in your create account email leave blank else place the coupon code you wish to use', 1, 32, NULL, '2003-12-05 05:01:41', NULL, NULL);

Actually, no coupon messages are mailed to admin@aabox.com at all. There are no filters on that email address, and I have not received and coupon mail ever. (admin@aabox is my email too!) So I am not sure what you are referring to ???

why does that coupon get resent over and over again to admin@aabox.com?

AFAIK it doesn't... ?

According to Gift Voucher's Sent, it did. As I couldn't attach a file to the reply, you can see one at http://www.lynoure.net/gvscreenshot.jpg

1d6410701c was autosent to a subscribed user, as was 8b5fd0194 and directly after that Gift Voucher's Sent claimed to send the 5dd5cb coupon to the admin@aabox.com address.

The behaviour seemed to stop when I disabled welcome vouchers and defined a different coupon to be sent.
However, after further testing it seems that Gift Voucher's Sent has a bug (in addition to that pesky typo in the name) that makes it always claim the coupon has been sent to the person who originally recieved it, ignoring who it was actually sent to... and shows x% off as $x coupon.

Lynoure, according to my mail logs, it didn't Looks like it may be a bug in the gv setup. I will have to investigate further.

Guest, thanks for that update on the sql.
