Separating pending payout money and store profits and reconciliation

Using Jamroom

I'd like to find a way to reconcile accounts at the end of the day. i.e. I want to make sure that the pending payouts and store revenue matches whats in the account that received the funds. Then move the store revenue to a different account. That way:

1.at any given time, if you look to see total of all artiest with balance waiting to be paid out it should equal the funds in one account.

2. on a daily basis, you're total store profit for the day is moved to a separate account. The profit "payout" should bring the pending store profit balance to $0.0

I think one way to accomplish #2 would be to deposit store profits into the admin user's profile and payout to him.

Any thoughts?

Verifying transaction amounts

Using Jamroom

I'm trying to verify that a transaction is processes correctly.

Where can i see how much was received from foxycart (and see how much was the transaction fee that was taken out)?

Where can i see how much of a transaction was paid to store fees?

Where can i see a log of all store fees received and the running balance?

Where can I seen how much of a transaction went to a artist(seller)?

Where can I see a log of all an artist's (seller's) sales and and his running balance?

mp3 metadata.

Using Jamroom

When a user purchases a file, the only thing they can tell is whatever file name was used when the original file was uploaded. Is there a way to update the filename and id3 tag with the information in the song details page?

Downloading purchases

Using Jamroom

How many times can a user download a purchase?

Block mp3 downloads

Using Jamroom

I assume this still allows you to play (stream)the file in the player. What protocol is used to stream? I assume its not progressive and not stored on the user's drive.

Does this still allow the user to download files after purchase?

Is that download link hashed?

How long is the key valid?

Does the same restriction apply if you are selling other media types (wav, aiff, mov, flac, avi, etc...)

sychronizing 2 servers

Using Jamroom

Thanks. That did the trick. The file was corrupted.

sychronizing 2 servers

Using Jamroom

This is the error in error log (multiple times)


[16-Apr-2014 19:51:29 Europe/Dublin] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '===' (T_IS_IDENTICAL) in /home/xtraxx/public_html/modules/jrCore/contrib/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_parsetree.php on line 395

sychronizing 2 servers

Using Jamroom

I'm getting some strange behavior.

1.I install new modules to my development server and configure them.
2.I copy the files from my development server to production server
3.Productions server does not load.

This has takes down my production server every time we update it. Is there something that is changed in the database or module files when a module is configured that is doing this?

Downloading media after purchase

Using Jamroom

Also from Steve,

Note that the vault_download is a magic view provided by the foxycart module, and the purchase field is audio_file, not song_file (I am assuming that the purchase field is the field type for the file, I haven’t checked). All 3 modules used the audio file field, not their own field type.

Thanks steve

Downloading media after purchase

Using Jamroom

From steve:
Hi Danny,

Yes, all 3 were copies of jrAudio. Changes to jrAudio were merged in every month or two, they have the download file listener, and they should still worked with foxycart as well.

The button in MyFiles is created by jrFoxyCart smarty_function_jrFoxyCart_my_items_download_button

Check that the url of the download is correctly formed - this is the line from foxycart which creates the url:
$download_url = $_conf['jrCore_base_url'] . '/' . jrCore_get_module_url($_rt['purchase_module']) . '/vault_download/' . $_rt['purchase_field'] . '/' . $_rt['purchase_item_id'];

If the forms are still being recreated in the skin, check that they contain all the necessary foxycart data. That would be added by foxycart to the normal forms created by the modules, but might not be there in the skin "recreated" forms.
