DBTS Form Processor through the Extension Manager.

when I go to manual install and go to the folder I can not see any extention to load. I must be missing a step so can you please walk me threw it so I can get it working.

Manual install is only used if you download the extension zip through my site.
Do an automatic installation instead, throuh the extension manager.

Available updates
when they are loaded, click on Forms
Select DBTS Form Processor and click Install (or Update)

Most probably you have removed the Admin and Auto responder mail "Custom template" from the processor settings or from the server.

But, How can I know what you have done ?

I mean, it was working perfectly (as you say) then you changed some settings in the DBTS Form Processor properties.

I can only guess that the files admin_mail_webshop.php and auto_mail_webshop.php are missing from the "dbts_includes" folder.

Final version, classified as 3.2, has been released.
Please download from the link included in the original post of this very thread.

You have to replace the "cart" page code (the one in Start of Page and the one in the HTML box). Once done you must re-publish the page.

Backend: you need to replace ALL files in the "admin" folder exept the files

config.php
countries.php
shipping_settings.php
shipto_countries.php
paypal_settings.php
order_nr.php

Hi George

I want to try this project for a job, but unfortunately can not open the attached sample.

I have WB 8.0, and DBTS form processor 2.1 installed as an extension.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren,

You need to upgrade to WWB 8.1 (latest version, currently online) and DBTS Form Processor 2.7.5.X

Hi George

Thanks for that. Where do I download your updated form processor. I have tried your website, and when I unzip any attachment, it appears to be the same version that I already have of your form processor.

Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren,

You can update through the extension manager from within WWB8.

I'm sorry George, but when I click on extension manager through the program (to update or download new ones), I can't see yours in the forms or e commerce section.

Furthermore, when I click on the ones that are already installed, it says that I have I have 2.7.5 version installed of your processor

But I still can't open your sample project.

Thanks

Darren

My bad

A system reboot and all seems to open OK.

Thanks George

I have tested the cart again and the % promo coupons work fine.
So either you have not correctly updated the code, or you have not set correctly the coupon.

Regarding the mini cart, please update to the version currently online.

Please update also the code in Start of Page of the "cart1" page with the one of the updated project.

The folder "cart" doesn't exist on your server, so obviously it has not been uploaded correctly.

Your root directory should be "public_html" from what I see I'm under the impression that you have uploaded the files on the upper level, which is only reachable through FTP and cPanel but not through the browser.

procan wrote:Hi there,

I am just in the process of setting webshop plus up. My question is...if I have already designed a website in WWB and have products etc, do I need to re-build them into the template that you have provided to be able to properly utilize the cart? I also have a bunch of other pages such as services and about us etc, do I need to create these in this template as well?

Just need a little clarification please!

Thanks

You can keep your own product pages as well as the rest of the pages. However, for the cart to work, you need to add, in each product page, the form (with the Add to Cart" button, using as template the forms included in the demo project. Copy / paste from one project to the other is enough to get the form in your own project, then double click the form and customize the hidden fields as required.

Madalina Bora wrote:Hi Naval,

I managed to understand how everything should be with this shopping cart, but I still have 2 questions left:

1) I uploaded the modified project on my server, in cart folder (which is in public_html folder -which is my root), but when I access my home page it shows me: Index, and "cart" folder, which I have to click to go to the website. How can I do to appear directly my home page?

Not sure what you mean. Is your home page called "index.html" or "index.php" ? This is the default naming for the website first page.

2) I want to remove the customer.php page, as I don't need it, and I want to connect cart.php page (when check out button is clicked) to checkout.php page directly.
How can I do this? I tried to create an advanced button as "Check out" button with a link to checkout.php page, but it's not working.

This requires changing the code. Not only to redirect to the "checkout" page but also to disregard the email address validation which at this point will be missing bevause you no longer have the "customer" page.

I just noticed that the button "Continue shopping" from cart page, send customers to home/index page.
How can I do to send them to the previous page?
Again, I tried with an advance button and smart link (to previous page) but it's not working and it gives me an error.

The "Continue Shopping " button will send the user to whichever page you have set it to be, in the Admin area, PayPal details.

Regarding the "Continue Shopping": you can acheive this but you will need to modify the code. Also, it will be necessary that all product pages be .php so you can set a session variable equal to the page URL. In all case requires customizing the code.

Regarding publishing,please understand that this is not a webshop related issue and you should have some basic knowledge regarding hosting accounts and folders structure.
With this said, what you need to do depends on what you actually want to do.
You can publish the main site in "public_html" and only the cart related pages inside the "cart" folder. Or, you can publish everything in "public_html" in which case there will be no need for a "cart" folder and you can use the manual instructions where instead of "cart" folder you can read "public_html" folder.

1. No, I can't see it. It is ok in my IE9

2. You have missed the option name. It should be

Jacheta Street Chic Madette / Marime: S

3. The comma is hardcoded, you should change the code in the cart page HTML box. Find and remove it.

Well, this is obviously a browser glitch, there is nothing I can do.

Madalina Bora wrote:Thank you Naval, I fixed the signs issues.
Regarding the comments field, yes with IE9 it works ok, but please try it with Firefox Mozilla 12.0 and you will see that clients can actually resize the comments field.

It's like this with all the comments fields. In FF you can resize this fields. This is just the wy it is.

Did you publish the new "cart1" page ?

Madalina Bora wrote:Hi Naval,
Is it possible to make the "shipping" background different than the "total value" background?
Because in admin these fields have the same colors/font.

Yes, but you would need to change the code. You can't change it through the normal Admin settings.

Regarding the confirmation e-mail sent to customers who place orders, they always end up in spam/junk folder.
Is it possible to fix this?

This has nothing to do with the script. Either your server is blacklisted, or you have some setings that are "strange", in example, using an email adress as "from" that is the same as the "admin" email address, or using a "common" (gmail, yahoo) . Try changing these settings in the DBTS Form Processor object in the "thankyou" page.

Sorry, as as said, you need to modify the code. But I can't do it for you, it requires time that I don't have.
The cart page colors are modified through the HTML box code. Find the line that corresponds to the shipping fees cell background, remove the $..... variable and place there the white #FFFFFF color you like.

In the "auto_email.php" file in the dbts_includes folder.

Ray,

the "cart" folder contains the server files, so it might be old.

But, if you read the instructions, it is mentioned that you should open the WWB project, customize the pages and then publish them.

If you did so, you would see that the cart1 page Start of Page code is amended.

Hello Navaldesign,

I am working on a site that sells cellular recharge cards.
In my country, we have 3 mobile networks, and each network has 4 recharge amounts; 1, 3,5 and 9 dollars.
So the interface will be really simple; the visitor selects the network from a dropdown menu, then he chooses the recharge amount.
Paying will be through paypal. Now here is the dilemma: after the transaction is successful, the visitor should be directed to a page where the 14 digits recharge number will appear, OR, he will recieve an email containing the 14 digits recharge number. So no physical items are sold, just like purchasing WWB software (through a download).
Is that possible to be done with WebShop Plus 3.2?
The first thing that crossed my mind is this should be done with mysql or so, I purchase the the cards containing the 14 digits, fill them (in a way) in the database, and when someone makes a purchase, one 14 digits card will be deleted from the database and this number is sent to him by email.

Thank you.

Possible, through a Database or through a file, but in all cases requires custom coding.

Navaldesign wrote:but in all cases requires custom coding.

You mean for deleating the purchased cards, right?
And by the way thanks for the quick reply

For reading the first available number and then marking it as "sold"

Oh ok, thanks a lot for that, I will look into this

This Webshop is AWESOME.

I am now reading through the Webshop_Plus_v3_Manual.pdf file.

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight for me, as I have

- downloaded Webshop Plus! .zip file onto my computer
- logged on to my root folder on FTP, and moved the entire "cart" folder from my harddrive onto my root.
- logged onto my domain, which was <mydomain.com>/cart/admin
- I've now logged in, and have filled out the "Admin Details" tab

But before I move forward with all of the set-up and customization that I need to do and everything, here are the two reasons I wanted to post what I'm doing right now:

1) - I want to make sure that it sounds like I have done everything correctly up until now.

2) - I have to make sure this Webshop solution can do this *one* thing I'm trying to do: I'm trying to see if I can make it to where the customer can set the price they want to pay, and then paypal will let them pay that price that the customer sets, each time the customer purchases a product. I just want to make sure that I can configure this webshop to do this, before I continue anymore on installing it. This is what is the whole purpose of my web-store--I just need it to sell a gift card. That's *literally* the only thing I need to sell on it. So that's literally one product. I just need users to be able to enter in the price they want for the gift-card, though, and then PayPal charge them for that amount.

You can do it simply removing, from the "product form" the hidden field named "price" and adding, instead, in the form, a field named "price" so the users can fill in the amount they like.

However, seems so complicated using a Webshop when you can do the same thing using a simple PayPal "Buy now" or "Pay now" button.

But...the "Buy Now" and "Pay Now" make you chooes concrete, static price amounts, don't they..? Because I thought I looked into that--you can't really leave it open for the user to type in a specific amount and have them pay, can you?

--etcbbu

You can

1. Use a Buy Now button, leaving the price blank. The user will be asked to fill in the amount, in PayPal's site. In this case add a line of text informing the users of this.

or

2. Recreate the PayPal button. The PayPal button is nothing more than a form with hidden fields. So have a look at the code, and recreate a standard WWB form.

Add the necessary action, hidden fields etc as per original PayPal button code.

Add, in this form, an editbox named "amount" and REMOVE from this form the hidden field also named amount. So the user fills in the amount and he clicks to get redirected to PayPal for the payment.

As far the first option you mentioned: Leave the "Price" blank--THAtT'S IT!? Hahahaha, I'm so limited it's funny sometimes--why didn't I think of that..? I always make things more complicated than they are.

As far as the second option you mentioned, is the bigger advantage to that, that the user can type in on the page how much they want to donate, before having to do it form PayPal's site? Ok, so I'm looking at code, for example, for a "Donations" button I have on a site, and it's
Now I pretty much see how I would craft all that; I think, except:

- is "form target" just the name of the form?
- does the "action = https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr " mean I would just paste https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr into the "Action" blank, in the "Form properties", form within WB?
- now all the "input type=hidden" ones are hidden fields, I also do from "Form properties" >> "Hidden fields" tab, correct?
- I know that I can ignore "div id" and "style" because those are just IDs I give it, and its position on the page, correct?
- how would I do the <input type="image" name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;" alt="Make payments with PayPal, it's fast, free, and secure!"> part?

Create a PayPal buy now button using WWB's standard tool.
Set its properties just as you want them (email, etc)
Right click it, select HTML

Copy the button code in Notepad

Now add a form in your page. Add a editbox and name it "amount"

Double click the form and set its properties as follows:

Action: what you see in the code you have in Notepad.
Target: Paypal
Encoding type: leave blank
Method= POST

Now, add in this form, the SAME (EXACTLY) hidden fields that you see in the original button code, EXEPT for the "amount"

You can add a simple Submit button, or copy one of the many PayPal Buy Now button images you can find on the net. If you choose this last option, insert in your form an "image button" that will work as "Submit" button.

Hi,

I'm afraid that I have no such script (extension) !

Probably you have used such an extension by some other forrum member. Please verify and address your questions in the proper thread.

Navaldesign,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write that out for me, man! I think I did it right, check me out here:

http://belladonnaoftyler.com/giftcards.php

Scroll down and take a look where the user types in the value and let me know if that looks right!

AGHHH! This is so cool, man!

Yes, it lloks right and behaves so. Maybe you need to make the amount editbox font size a bit smaller ?

Ok great; thanks Navaldesign.

I will now stop hijacking this topic and taking it into such a different direction .

The cart pages contain code. So you should go the other way round: use the demo project pages, adapting them (visually) to your own site theme.

Alternativelly, you can copy / paste the forms (but some elements, like the cart page buttons need to be checked, as they might loose their names when pasting) and ALSO copy / paste the code in Page HTML (in Start of Page and End of Page, also in Between <head> ...</head>) in the exact same position of your own pages.

Has the Protected Download been added yet? If not do you plan on adding it or do you still offer it as a paid product?

No, have no plans for adding this feature, at least not for now.

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.
