discount coupons admin page only saving partial information

[tunnel7]

Hello. I'm using OSCMAX v2.0 RC4 and when I enter a discount coupon from the admin section it shows everything correct on the preview page but when i click update it looses some of the information (coupon name, etc.) and resets the dates back to the default. Has anyone experienced this before and if so what resolution did you come up with?

Thanks in advance.

I found that I needed to get certain values from $HTTP_POST_VARS, since register_globals is off.
So, I made the following changes. Please back up before making any changes--I can't guarantee that these changes will work for you exactly as-is.
1) On approximately line 662, replace

         <td align="left"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('coupon_name[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', $coupon_name[$language_id]) . '&nbsp;' . tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?></td> 

with

         <td align="left"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('coupon_name[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', $HTTP_POST_VARS['coupon_name'][$language_id]) . '&nbsp;' . tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?></td> 

2) On approximately line 676, replace

         <td align="left" valign="top"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('coupon_desc[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']','physical','24','3', $coupon_desc[$language_id]) . '&nbsp;' . tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?></td> 

with

         <td align="left" valign="top"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('coupon_desc[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']','physical','24','3', $HTTP_POST_VARS['coupon_desc'][$language_id]) . '&nbsp;' . tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?></td> 

I hope this helps!

Lori, great...and thank you very much for the reply...and will give it a whirl once I herar back from Michael...of the bug that seems to be happening in 2.0.4.

It's a fresh install...nothing as for code changed yet...and I don't plan on messing with anything util I hear back from the BossMan on this one..

Would like to see issues all cleaned up in 2.0.4 isntead of getting Gray hair awaiting releases...<smile> or playing SVn for now.

Thanks again!!

Jim
