Hi Naval,

First of all I like to thank you for the good work you are doing and have done!

I only have one question, would there be any possibility that you will add the payment type iDEAL to the shopping cards? It is a very common method of payment in The Netherlands and would be great to have this included because I really want to use your tool.

Hope you can help me out?

Kind regards,

Richard

I'm not familiar with Ideal. From what I have heard about Ideal, there is no standard solution for implementation as it depends on the actual payment gateway.

Yes, but what would you need Webshop Plus for then ?? I mean, the whole idea is to store all data: order details, customer details, delivery details, potential custom details and files etc. and be able to review them, list them, export in Excel, print, edit as required. If you do (it is possible but with some code amendments) what you suggested, all this data will not be even provided by the customer. So you are abolishing the cart features...

To do what you want, use the standard PayPal cart instead.

I think you could modify the Paypal cart a little have a look here:

How do I change the "option, price variation" to a percentage increase instead of a fixed price? Thanks.

I'm sorry, this would require heavily modifying the code.

Thanks for the quick reply. So far this is great. Just battling with my own learning curve.

HI
Just trying out Webshop Plus.
Have followed the instructions in the pdf & created a cart folder & uploaded the 'admin' folder into it.
Cart has 755 and admin has 755 (was 644 but that didn't work so tried changing it !)

I can access the backend admin screen, and change the password etc, but, when it tries to save the info I get "

"Cannot create file config.php ! Please check folder permissions or contact your hostin company."

Any ideas ??

Thanks
Adrian

*************Update***************
Setting permissions on config.php to 777 seems to work - but is this safe ??

I had similar issues with uploading files a few weeks back - the 755 permissions on the upload directory didn't work -
but 777 did...??

Thanks
Adrian

All files that could allow changing settings and details, are password protected, so yes, it is safe.

Ah, thanks for that....

Having spent come time in 'chat' with my hosting company - it appears that it's a known issue, and it's about file ownership rather than permissions.
In my particular case (shared Apache server under linux), they recommend changing the PHP5 setup so that it runs as a CGI application, then emailing support to request that ownership of the files in that domain are changed...

Apparently, if new domains are set up with 'run PHP5 as CGI' then there's no need to request the change of ownership, as that will be set automatically.

This explains the hassle I was having with the 'upload file from a form' thing a couple of weeks ago...

I'm only recording the details in case they might help somebody else with the same problem...

Thanks
Adrian

Pls post the actual URLs for working and non working pages.

Pls forward the project through my contact form. Unfortunately, just looking at the page code through the browser, doesn't help as the PHP code is not displayed.

If you look better, there is a note that you can set Quantity to 0 to remove an item from the cart.

I will consider this for the next update....

Hi Naval,

Not sure if this has been asked before so I apologise if it has. Is it possible to make the thankyou page auto continue to PayPal without having to click the button but still send the emails. It seems to cause some confusion even though the page clearly states that the button needs to be clicked. I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty on coding as its been a while. It needs to auto activate the button on page load to pass the form details but this doesn't seem possible. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi George,
Sorry. very new to this game. OK with loading and editing the back end of program but the front-end is giving me a little problem when I load it into WWB8 with the site I want it to run on open I cannot get the graphics to come with the php files I am using "Import page from another project".
Should I be doing it another way?
Thanks
Tretonia

Not sure what you mean. You mean the images? if yes, it is not important, you can open both projects at the same time and copy / paste images. Or, if you prefer, use your own product images.

If you mean something else, plese clarify.

I was referring more to the layout images and not the product images.
It was just that I was reading in these posts that some of the information could be lost in a copy and past and just thought that I might be doing it the wrong way. Thank you for confirming that I am doing it correctly.
Best regards

Hi Navel,

Many customers find the 'thankyou' page confusing and fail to proceed to payment and get further confused because they receive the auto email with their order details. I'm trying to make the 'thankyou' page into an order confirmation which will show the order details and then require payment as I think this would feel more natural for the customer.

I have played with set ups based on the code contained within the thankyou page and tried to add the fields as below.


But when run I get the following result


The fields for $cart[PRODUCTCODE], $cart[PRODUCTNAME] and $cart[QUANTITY] simply show as array yet the $subtotal shows correctly. I'm very rusty but presume that the first three sould be something like $productcode but this variable is not shown in the code and shows blank on the published page.

I've also tried:
'.$cart[PRODUCTCODE][$i].'
'.$cart[PRODUCTNAME][$i].'
'.$cart[QUANTITY][$i].'

but with no joy

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Actually, those are arrays (containing all the ordered products code, name and quantity)

You can use the $cart[PRODUCTCODE][$i] (etc) BUT you should include it in a loop, in example:

for ($i = 0; $i < $itemcount; $i++){
echo $cart[PRODUCTCODE][$i]." ".$cart[PRODUCTNAME][$i]."<br>";
}
echo "Total: $subtotal <br>";

I prefer to use a table, similar to the one used in the "cart" table (after removing all the unecessary code) to display a summary plus the button.

Hello Navaldesign,

I am just wondering when version 3.2 was released!
Another thing, is there any chance to have a CMS WebShop? I mean in the Admin area admin can add categories and products, along with their infos.

Version 3.2 was released Dic 27, 2011.

A full online managed cart requires a database and a lot of work. To be honest, I do have it ready, but it is a paid for script.

And this paid one, does it work like -let's say- OpenCart or any one of those free E-commerce scripts in Softaculous?
And how much is it for?

Thank you

It works more or less like these.

Cost can only be discussed outside this forum.

How can we discuss that? You can have my email address from the admin.

Navaldesign, shall i contact you regarding the paid script through you website email?

Yes, you can contact me through my website contact form.

is it a script to use with wwb8 like an extension like the cms object. I may be intestrested by this kind of script.Ca ve see it in action. demo??

If the project is in the "cart" directory, the index page should be " http://www.yourdomain.com/cart/index.php " and the Administration area should be " http://www.yourdomain.com/cart/admin/index.php "

If this is really so, then there is no need to edit the paths as they are already alright.

A link to the cart please ?

here viewtopic.php?f=39&t=44305

Although there are some generic thoughts about adding features, there is no plan for a new version yet.

Implementin Ideal is rather easy. You need to replace the code in the HTML box of the "thankyou" page, with the one provided by Ideal.

It goes by itself that you will need to replace, in the code, the absolute values that Ideal uses in its code, with the cart variables (value, description, etc)

There is no plan at the moment for un update to include Ideal checkout as standard built in feature.

Both your requests are possible, but of course some work is required to create and test.
The demo in the video is based on the Webshop Plus but the user that created it added the details fields in the "customer" page.
This is very easy actually, as the variables are stored as session variables, but you need to have some PHP knowledge.

However, from the video, I understand that someone from the German forum has modified Webshop Plus and has created a template available for download.
I have not been able to register in the German forum (somehow, the human verification field, where I should type the color of a lemon or a strawberry, would NOT accept my answer, thus I could not register), so I haven't been able to download the modified demo and check how it has been modified. You can try yourself.

As an easy solution, you can use simply an Iframe to display the cart content also in this page.
You can use an Iframe also to display the customer details.

If you make these iframes without borders and use the same page background, it will be very hard to tell that these appear in iframes and not in the page itself.
I'm not sure is there is going to be an update, I would preferably create a (free) cart similar to Webshop Plus but database driven, as many of the pro users (developers) here have asked for a cart that they can create at the start but then their customers can manage online, so I will probably go this way (whenever I have the time to).

Hi George,
I just uploaded all WB9 files as is (no changes to the pages), but the page shows nothing and I'm not sure why. I also uploaded all files as is to a different domain from a different hosting company and that too shows blank pages. Any idea why this is? They both support PHP. In fact, I'm using php contact forms on both websites.

The following page does show, but can't get beyond it.

Did you setup the backend ? especially the "Shipping to Countries" section.

Thanks.. was my mistake.

Quick question...
You emphasize - Upload the entire "cart" folder, from your computer to the "root" directory of your site.

Will it be an issue to use a sub-folder as a testing environment. For example, root-directory/test-folder and upload everything to this location.
Reason for this is to not interfere with current website.
Then eventually move everything from the test-folder up to the root directory. I hope everything is relative paths.

To avoid mistakes (missing files) I suggest that you upload the "cart" folder as is, then rename it, on the server, to "test_folder" or whatever you like.

Is it necessary to add the cart folder to robots.txt?

If you want to promote sales, it is reasonable to think that SEs should be able to find your product pages, so the answer is Yes.

I see the note To delete a product, change the quantity to be "0" and press "Recalculate" to remove an item from the cart, but is it possible to show a remove button beside every item?

Hi George,
I'm guessing this is not something which can be easily implemented.

No, it is not difficult, and I already have it in my paid for carts.
But, implementing it, testing it, creating a new package (zip) and uploading on the server mighr require 2 - 3 hrs which at the moment I can't afford to spend due to personal work.

Thank you. I appreciate your response. Maybe in the future I'll look into your paid version.

thank you for webshop,
I think to use this card. Does the latest version 3.2 ?

Yes, 3.2 is the latest version.

Hi George, I think I read somewhere sometime ago that you charge for options for this extension.
Like what other feature do you charge for?

Thanks in advance.

For customization of Webshop Plus you can contact me through my site contact form.

I just downloaded this and thought I could do a manual install of the extension via WB8. That didn't work.

Specifically, I clicked on Tools/Extension Manager/Manual Install. It looked for a *.wbx file and didn't find one.

What am I missing? Thanks!

Nevermind. I got it done.

thanks

I have just put this on a website. Actually, I haven't tested it and I'm only using the following pages: products, cart folder with cart1, customer, checkout, custom_details, thankyou and thankyou1 (why the difference), error and cancel.

I'm not sure how to put a second cart on the same site. Do I need to put each one (with all of the pages mentioned) in individual folders?? I'm not sure how to put the cart folder in a folder. Or maybe I only put the second shopping cart in a separate folder. If so, do I need all of the pages I use in that separate folder - or are some of the pages common to both shopping carts.

Thanks, I hope that is clear!! I really appreciate you giving us a template for this. That made the first one pretty easy (even though I haven't tested it.

Thanks Naval Design. I've got to wait on your answer before I know how to deal with the second cart. Basically, this shopping cart has two different kinds of products.

To answer my own question, I think that I just use (like your sample) two different products pages. Is that right??

thanks
