Webshop Plus! v.2.0 for WWB7

[Navaldesign]

The email was correct, i tried it from scratch and it still didnt send any emails, I can only put this down to it being something related to my mail server, therefore I had to revert back to the manual script of adding the classic email option which isnt a problem anyway, everything is working perfect now.

What you are stating makes (technically) no sense. Not that I doubt what you are saying, but because, as i mentioned, IF CORRECTLY set, the script is equivalent to the old one! It only uses a variable for the email address, which it retrieves from the Admin area settings. There is NO difference between the two codes! One has the variables hardcoded (the old one) the other retrieves them from the script / admin settings files.

So I can only suppose that there is something wrong there.

I too get window shoppers who appear to be testing the cart. nothing much you can do except perhaps log the ip address.

The cart is brilliant and I've looked at a great many so called commercial offerings.

I'm going to attemp to change the thankyou page so that it generates html emails instead of plain text.

I'll post the results if it works OK.

[Navaldesign]

Hi Kevin,

HTML email and Authorize.net checkout are scheduled for the next upgrade, together with the small summary cart contents table, plus a (paid for) addon for instant downloads. So unless you would like to do it as personal interest, you can avoid it.

[Navaldesign]

In fact I can't undertake this, BUT if you follow the instructions slowly and with precision, you will be up and running by tomorrow, not next week.

1. Enter the admin area. Go through ALL pages, one by one, it will require no more than 40 to 60 minutes.

2. Then publish all pages of the demo project. After that test it and see if everything is ok.

3. At this point customize the pages accoring to your own site theme.

4. Set up your products forms (3 minutes per product, max) and customize each product page to suit the specific product (another, say, 10 mins). You can clone the first product page to create the additional products pages, then double click the product form to set the parameters of each product.

At the end, you can publish your Webshop pages again

For a 20 products cart, estimated time 4 hrs should be more than enough.

Hi NavalDesign,

When will therefore leave the famous version WWB6 IDC PAYPAL extension?
You program the script again or you expect out of the WWB6.5?
Thank you for your answer!

Best regards,
Mandrake.

[Navaldesign]

The Instant Download is ready, But I will need at least a couple of days to fully test before it can go commercial.

[mandrake]

Great news!

I look forward to seeing this exciting expansion!

Gravely commercial version!

Best regards,

Mandrake.

I am trying to change the "Tax" name on my shopping cart, It is changing in the admin page, but when I am trying to shop and then see the cart, the old name of the tax still shows. How to show the new one. Sorry I am updating the site after a long time so kindof forgotten how to do this.
http://www.lucknowwebs.com.au/shop
If asked to login to see cart, use demo for both.
Currently Tax field is showing "Processing Charges"
Changed in the Admin to "Overhead"

[Navaldesign]

What you are stating can not happen, unless you are having different admin / shop areas (and files) , so you are updating one but the other is not updated.

Your shop is too complicated (with login etc) for me to go the full way to test.

Naval. once you login there is no issue.... please give it a shot

[Navaldesign]

me, there is nothing i can see simply from the page html.

I can't login in the admin area nor can I see what code is there or examine directly the file. So there is no way i can help you.

Open the settings file and see if the file has been correctly updated through the admin page or not.

[Navaldesign]

1. Seems that you have somehow removed the links of the buttons. Just re-establish them and you will be ok.

2. No, if that was the "full_product_form" page that you deleted, it was simply an example product form with all the possible options so if anyone needed it, he could see how this is done. Removing that page doesn't affect anything.

[Navaldesign]

What's the "regular" method ??

All carts, even the most complicated ones use forms to send the product info to the cart page. Each product "Add to Cart" button is simply a submit button that posts the product details to the cart.

Do you have the form or not ? The form "action" is what links the product to the cart page and code.

Open the demo product and see how this is made.

[Navaldesign]

The Thankyou1 and Checkout1 pages are PayPal only so if you want to only use PayPal you need to replace Thankyou with thankyou1 and checkout with checkout1.
If not, you can delete them.

Buttons: the buttons must be named "action" and their value as it was.

Otherwise you can replace them with Advanced Buttons, where the text can be in your language and the name will remain "action" and the vale as it was (for each button).

[uniformality]

hi Naval,
I have a problem with my cart page. the checkout button and recalculate buttons just seem to relod the page. I have replaced the page with the original imported from your Sample Shop, but the problem still exisits.
the site is picturethaton.co.uk
thank for your assistance

Regards
Paul

[Navaldesign]

Most probably, when you imported the page in your project, the three buttons in the cart page "lost" their name (should be "action" for all three)

Check it.

[uniformality]

hi Naval

I checked the button names and changeed them to "action" but still it doesn't work. Thanks for your assisitance.
Regards

Paul

[Navaldesign]

Since I don't know what your product page( s ) URLs are, I can't test.

Remove the Onclick event that you added to the Continue Shopping button.

[uniformality]

Thanks Naval, that was the problem.
Is there a way to make the 'continue shopping' button take the customer back to the last page they were at?

EDIT ok i have put the button on another form and now the cart works and the 'continue shopping' function works to.

Regards

Paul

[uniformality]

I have modified the Paypal button on the 'thank you' page so thatname and address gets passed to paypal so the customer doesnt have to re-enter it. The new code is

<?php
// display PayPal checkout?

$form = '
<form target="PayPal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_ext-enter">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="'.$paypal_email.'">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="'.$dbts_title.' Order '.$orderid.'">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="'.$orderid.'">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="'.number_format($_SESSION['nettotal'], 2).'">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="'.$currency.'">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="'.$_SESSION['shipping1'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="handling" value="'.$_SESSION['handling'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="'.$paypal_thankyoupage.'">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="'.$paypal_cancelpage.'">
<input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="'.$paypal_email.'">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="'.$require_address.'">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="'.$allow_message.'">
<input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="'.$_SESSION['firstname'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="last_name" value="'.$_SESSION['lastname'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="address1" value="'.$_SESSION['address'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="address2" value="'.$_SESSION['address2'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="city" value="'.$_SESSION['city'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="'.$_SESSION['state'].'">
<input type="hidden" name="zip" value="'.$_SESSION['zip'].'">
<input type="image" name="submit" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but6.gif" alt="Make payments with PayPal, it\'s fast, free, and secure!">
</form>
';
echo $form;

?>

I found it better not to pass the email address as Paypal assumes your customer has a paypal account and doesn't dispay the name and address data but here it is incase anyone needs it

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="'.$_SESSION['email'].'">

Regards
Paul

[Navaldesign]

Which Add ons ?

[Navaldesign]

No, you aren't missing anything, but if you don't specify what you want, I can't know.

For such issues, you should contact me privately through my site (in my signature) contact form with your requirements.

[Navaldesign]

I'm not sure whay you are posting in this section of the forum, as the cart seems perfectly working.

For the images issues, seems like they ARE on the server, but they won't display (or, which I can't check, seems they 0 size). Try this:
1. Check images permissions: should be 644
2. Preview the page in FF. Right click the pics that don't show, and save them locally, then manually upload them on the server / cart/images folder.
Refresh the page to see if it appears.

Your popups also seem working fine.

[radioboy74]

So do I understand your post correctly, I can set a price through our Pay Pal feature let's say for $5.00 for product and it will calculate the shipping as per what I enter?

[Navaldesign]

Yes.

[radioboy74]

I see you are talking about downloading something above, what is that? Also my client wants to use the paypal option or whatever works best, but wants to offer shipping options such as Post Office, Fedex, UPS, etc... are there ways to do the shipping options??

[Navaldesign]

Pls take the time to read the manual which contains all features descriptions and possibilities of the cart.

The cart support shipping fees but not all those options you mention. For those you will need a professional cart that can use the APIs of USP, Fedex etc to calculate shipping.

[me.prosenjeet]

Naval,
I am not sure where to post this, here or in the DBTS form extension.
My client has 18 products with about 15 varieties in each. What he is looking for is actually an order form and not online sales/payment.
He wants that the user selects the variety of product and the quantity and then submit so that the order form details reach the company to process the order.

Something like

Product A----------[]Varieties=(can be drop down or 'tick' from list)----------Quantity(drop down 1,2,3...)

Product B----------[]Varieties=(can be drop down or 'tick' from list)----------Quantity(drop down 1,2,3...)

Product will not have a select button but the variety will have the details of the product.

So we have 2 fields to be selected by the visitor for a product...
1) Variety
2) Quantity.

Further this will be a multipage order form so if the user doesn't like any of the products on page 1, he can click on a button to move to next page. That is if the form is of 15 pages, he can select several products from various pages and submit it.

How can this be done?

[Navaldesign]

It can be done both with the Webshop Plus (where of course you will need to change a bit the PayPal part, since this is an Order with No Payment options) or with a specifically made orderform

[Navaldesign]

If someone can enter your admin area to change your PayPal settings, he can also change the email address. So you will never know of the change, even if such an automated email routine is present.

[madebyibloo]

where is the WBX file??

The download location is on the first post here: viewtopic.php?t=16668
This is not an extension you install, more like an application you upload to your web host and configure their.

Hi, I cannot see the download location anywere on the first post, can you point me in the right direction please?

all I see is this 'See example page “product1â€' at the bottom of the post.



Cheers,
Scott

[Navaldesign]

Seems like the data migration to the new forum has cut off a part of my original post.

Here is the link: http://www.dbtechnosystems.com/wb6/webshop2.zip

[madebyibloo]

Thanks naval, yeh i thought that too, appreciate it.

p.s I'm still gonna be intouch regarding the idc, am just sorting some stuff out.



Cheers,
Scott.

[Patrik iden]

Hi, have you includedthe minicart in product page in your download yet?

[Navaldesign]

Hi,

This most probably means that the folder permissions don't allow file creation.

This might actually depend on the folder permissions, or it may be a restriction by your hosting company.

The folder permissions normally should be 755 and the folders within it should have permissions 644.

If the folder has 755 permissions and this issue is only relevant to installation of Webshop, you can try this:

Go in the page where you need to make changes in the settings.

Then before actually submitting, connect with FTP and change the permissions of the entire folder in 777.
Submit the form

Then turn again the folder permissions to 755 and see if everything works fine.

Hi Naval

The cart is briliant as usual but I've come accross a problem that seems confined to Australian websites. For all orders shipped within Australia a Sales Tax (GST) of 10% is charged but for orders outside Australia no tax is charged. Currently the cart can't do this but is there a way to maybe add a tickbox which would cancel out the tax on Recalculate with out a major code rebuild. Seems a daft question but before I start fiddling (and probably mess it all up) I just thought I'd see if I could get a few expert pointers.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Kevinp

[Navaldesign]

Hi Kevin,

This is exactly the same issue as US residents: US sites apply taxes ONLY to residents of the same state where the company is.
Whay you can do:
Set the tax to be 0.

Ad these lines :

if($shiptocountry == $origin_country){
$taxes = $subtotal * 10/ 100;
}

just after


if ($tax_type == "unique") {
$taxes = $subtotal * $unique_tax_percent / 100;
}


where 10 (or whatever else) is the applicable tax percent.

[kevinp]

Thanks for that Naval. I'll give it a try. Your a lifesaver as allways.

kevinp

[Navaldesign]

Since I can't really recall well, you might have to use

$ship_to_country

instead of $shiptocountry

Test as posted, if not working try the second.

[kevinp]

It works brilliantly. Just had to remove the $ from the $10 as below:

if($shiptocountry == $origin_country){
$taxes = $subtotal * $10/ 100;
}

and it does the trick. Very handy to know for the future.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Sorry, too tired I suppose !!

Hi George, I have a question for ya.

I'm having a problem getting past the "Your shopping cart" page. If I have 1 product added to the cart and I click "Check out" I get an error message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". If I have more then 1 product added to the cart and I click "Check out", then it will continue to the "Customer" page with no problem.

This part was working and I was able to get to the "Customer" page earlier, but I tried changing the "Recalculate" button label on the cart page to "Update" and saw it didn't work any longer so I changed it back to "Recalculate". Since then I can not get past the cart page with only 1 product in the cart. I have cleared my cache and republished my pages, but still no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jeff

[Navaldesign]

Iìm sorry but I have no explanation on why this is happening. I should see the page code, as it appears in WB when you go to View, Page HTML

[jeff11214]

I tried it on a different PC and it is working. I have no idea why this is happening... very strange.

Thanks

[jeff11214]

Now using Firefox browser and here are some issues I hope you can help with:

On the "Complete your order" page (checkout.php)
can the "Order Now!" button go directly to PayPal and skip the thank you page (thankyou.php)?
-If not, can I change the value/label "Order Now!" button to show "Continue".

On the "Order completed" page (thankyou.php)
it shows "Your order has been successfully placed! A confirmation email has been sent to your email address.
Please proceed to payment so we can process your Order."
-But the PayPal button form is not showing. (nothing is showing)

On the "Customer Information" page (customer.php)
It looks like the only required field is the E-mail field and I would like to make all fields required.
-Can I simply change this in the editbox properties validate tab?

When the Order is completed an e-mail is sent to the customer showing the order details.
-Can this include the Paypal link to pay for the item?

In Firefox, some things don't display properly:
on the Customer Information page (customer.php), the "Previous" button shows the word "Page" below it.

And then on the next page "Complete your order" (checkout.php) same problem with the buttons:
"Previous" button shows the word "Page" below the button and the "Cancel" button shows the word "Order!" below the button.

Thanks for your help.

[Navaldesign]

On the Complete your order page (checkout.php)
can the "Order Now!" button go directly to PayPal and skip the thank you page (thankyou.php)?
-If not, can I change the value/label "Order Now!" button to show "Continue".

Not at the moment. I will upload an updated version in a few days, where normal submit buttons will be replaced by advanced buttons (and the internal php code modified) so it will be possible to change the buttons wording.

On the Order completed page (thankyou.php)
it shows "Your order has been successfully placed! A confirmation email has been sent to your email address.
Please proceed to payment so we can process your Order."
-But the PayPal button form is not showing. (nothing is showing)

Did you modify the code ?
Or
Did you remove the payment method dropdown from the previous page ? If yes, no payment method is passed to the "thankyou" page and therefore the script doesn't display the PayPal button.
You will need to use the specific PayPal only pages that come with the zip and rename them (removing the "1" from the end of the page name.

On the "Customer Information" page (customer.php)
It looks like the only required field is the E-mail field and I would like to make all fields required.
-Can I simply change this in the editbox properties validate tab?

Yes.

When the Order is completed an e-mail is sent to the customer showing the order details.
-Can this include the Paypal link to pay for the item?

No. You would need to recreate the email code, to send HTML email with the same code as the PayPal button, otherwise the PayPal details (email address, Order ID, Amount, etc) can NOT be passed over to PayPal.

In Firefox, some things don't display properly:
on the Customer Information page (customer.php), the "Previous" button shows the word "Page" below it.

Just make the button larger in WB and publish again.

And then on the next page "Checkout" (checkout.php) same problem with the buttons:
"Previous" button shows the word "Page" below the button and the "Cancel" button shows the word "Order!" below the button.

Same as above.

[jeff11214]

On the previous page I did remove payment options which I see caused the problem. I'm now using the PayPal only pages that were included in the zip and that worked perfectly! Thank you!

Now when I click the "PayPal click here to pay" button:
-the PayPal page does not show an option to pay without a PayPal account. I don't want my customers to feel obligated to open a PayPal account.
-Am I missing something?

When the Order is completed an e-mail is sent to the customer showing the order details.
-Can this include the Paypal link to pay for the item?

No. You would need to recreate the email code, to send HTML email with the same code as the PayPal button, otherwise the PayPal details (email address, Order ID, Amount, etc) can NOT be passed over to PayPal.

Is this really difficult? Would you be able to give more information on how to do this? I think others on this site would have an interest in this as well.

Thanks for your quick response!

[Navaldesign]

Payment through credit card without a PayPal account is an option that you set in your PayPal account, not in the cart. Set the "PayPal account Optional?" to yes.

HTML email: yes, it is rather complicated, because this is not a static mail, it is created on the fly depending on customer info and order info. The php code loops among the products to create the order details. You need to heavily modify the code.

I have created such a routine for a paying customer and it has taken me hours to create, finetune and test.
