GoCart - Added shipping

[tomhung]

I modified gocart 1.6.2 to add shipping charges.

Here is the new module let me know if you have problems.  Mine works fine.

*Testing on other systems will prob need to take place to confirm stability.

[kweitzel]

Does look good, on XAMPP no issues. Any chance you make the Currency changable via drop-down with function to add custom currency?

cheers

Hello,

done a short look think there needs to be a little more tweaking on this modul. Especially:

- Language support should be rewritten
- install script didn't support Mysql5 strict mode
- copyright notices should be added
- info.php should be adapted for the 2.6x WB versions
- empty product records in the database should automaticly be deleted
- upgrade script should be added for the upgrade from 1.6.2 as there are new database fields.
- little bit layout and code cleaning.

Will do this tonight based on your 1.6.3 version and then release 1.6.4.

Anyway, thanks for your work on this modul.

While you are going through all this... look at places where you are explicitly naming the path.  I tried to change the "install directory" and it breaks stuff!!!

I can help with that later if you want.

Matthias

P.S.
@tomhung
Why did you want to change the path. It's hardcoded on 113 places in the modul script. Could be easily done with a search and replace if you need it.

[tomhung]

I found the path problem when I installed 2 instances of gocart to test. 
ie. default one and the one I edited.

I changed the $module_directory to be something else.

All the code was pointing to include the original (hardcoded) file not the ones i uploaded.

This issue is prevalent through lots of modules. 

things like

Code:

if(file_exists(WB_PATH."/modules/calendar/languages/".LANGUAGE.".php")) {

should read

Code:

if(file_exists(WB_PATH."/modules/".$module_directory."calendar/languages/".LANGUAGE.".php")) {

just my thoughts.

Hello,

If you look at the "Hello World Module" wich should show developpers whats needed for to create a modul exactly this is used. Define in info.php the directory and in all other files the directory is called with the variable (Include info.php and $module_directory). Problem is at installation, when the modul is temporary unzipped in the temp dir. The include path is relative and as the temp directory is in another level then the modules the $module_directory isn't found (not generally on some hosts). So we couldn't use this technic for all.

Why you need two instances of gocart? Will look at it but i think you can use it on multiple sections in WB wich means you can have different pages with totally different carts. If this is not the case we should fix it.

Saw that the products are only taken by calling the "image_id" without where section_id = section_id. Maybe this fixes it.

The real problem seems to be that there is no Module Export.  In the template editor you can download the .zip of the template.  I would like something like this for modules. 

I tweaked the module code while it was sitting in place on the server.  This way I could see the changed immediately.  I thought that I could just zip it up in place, download it, change the install directory, upload / install it as a new version. 

The main reason for having two versions on one site is purely testing purposes.  I wanted to see the original GoCart against the one I repackaged. 

I just noticed that the new module wasn't using the info.php variable and was using a hardcoded path.

just my thoughts!

[kriskd]

Is the most recent one available in the module library, or should I grab it from this thread?

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

the latest version you find on the addons page.

Matthias

[kriskd]

So, how do I add shipping?  Attached is a screen capture of what I see in my GoCart mod.

[tomhung]

did you use the code posted above?

[kriskd]

did you use the code posted above?

No, per ruebenwurzel's post, I assumed that version was in the add-on library.  I'll try the version posted in the thread this weekend.  I've been spending too many late weekday evenings working on this stuff!   

[ruebenwurzel]

@kriskd

Sorry for missleading you. At addons page is version 1.6.2. The latest version is 1.6.4RC1 from here in the thread.

http://forum.websitebaker.org/index.php/topic,4752.msg29392.html#msg29392

So please use this version. Will replace the file from the addons page.

Matthias

Matthias,

Just so you know, the gocart module on the addons pags is still the old version 1.6.2

Regards,
Bas

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

as you see on the name the 1.6.4 is only a Release Candidate. Before it gets the new version there is something to do. Especially to write an upgrade script to update from previous versions. This is not possible at the moment. You have to uninstall all previous versions with loosing all infos and install the new version. So i hope you understand we can not add such a version as ready to the addons page.

Matthias

[baZzz]

Ah, I see, thought you'd forgotten about it!

[mlohnen]

And here's a dutch language file for GoCart module 1.6.4RC1

[baZzz]

Matthias (or anybody else with a thorough knowledge of gocart),

Do you know what the use is of the following code: (in 'view.php'; line 18 through 29)

Code:

// Get user's username, display name, email, and id - needed for insertion into image info
$users = array();
$query_users = $database->query("SELECT user_id,username,display_name,email FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."users");
if($query_users->numRows() > 0) {
while($user = $query_users->fetchRow()) {
// Insert user info into users array
$user_id = $user['user_id'];
$users[$user_id]['username'] = $user['username'];
$users[$user_id]['display_name'] = $user['display_name'];
$users[$user_id]['email'] = $user['email'];
}
}

I can see that the array $users is being called in line 154 and 251, but I don't see the use for it. Is it still being used in gocart? (Or is it a remnant from the image gallery it was based on?)

The reason I'm asking this, is because I'm trying to make gocart into a real shopping cart module. For this, I want to understand the entire code and clean it up as much as possible...

Thanks for the help!

[ruebenwurzel]

@baZzz

I'm not the first time developper, so i also don't know why this is in view.php. Don't know anny reason for needing this. So if you mean it is not necessary, remove it.

Matthias

[tufacs]

I'm testing the module and it works great. It's only a bit of a mess in the front end of the site. The outlining is not so good (when you use landscape and portret photos). It would be great if the next version has categories. That where all my ideas

editThe first thing is done.    change settings image loop:  <td  vAlign="bottom">

[brent]

Is there any planned update for GoCart to have multi item capability?

Thanks,
Brent

Hello,
great module! We are testing the RC right now and really like it.. fast and simple. I do have a couple questions..

1) is this cart capable of virtual or software download purchases?
2) When a user selects 'ADD TO CART' button on my page, it takes them to paypal to fill out payment info and then to continue shopping.. is there a way where they can simply add items to a 'shopping cart screen', and on that screen have a button to keep shopping or to check out, then once their viewing and selecting of items is complete, they can be directed to the paypal screen? This I think would  make the process more familiar to users, compared to other carts..
EX: I am viewing items at your store. I choose item #2 to view, and then add it to the cart. I am redirected to a page, showing the item (at this point only item#2 is shown), and given a choice to either continue shopping or to go to the Paypal screen and pay (the Paypal would still have the same two options which is ok).. So, I select to continue shopping and then I view item # 5, which takes me to the large view, and I select to add it to the cart.. so I am redirected to the cart screen, showing items #2 and #5, and again given the choice to keep shopping or pay.. does this make sense???
This is a great module, and I believe the make a shopping cart a success, not just a great implementation, payment should not be asked of a customer, until they request it and/or choose to be done shopping... it is also the way most people purchase online, adding to the trust and comfort level.

Does this make sense? and can this be looked at as an option during development?

[powderbomber]

funny you should ask that, ive just customised the gocart module to work alongside the e-junkie (www.e-junkie.com) secure cart system which we are using to host pdfs and handle the payments.

Ive also removed the shipping feature as I wont be charging any for downloadables of course!

the procedure is,
1. setup an ejunkie account
2. setup a paypal account
3. link your paypal to your ejunkie account
4. install the WB module
5. under settings, enter your ejunkie cart ID number, you can find this by looking in the code ejunkie gives you to paste into your site
6. for each product you add, enter its ejunkie ID number

That should be it! I have only barely tested this so expect some bugs, also my PHP skills are very basic so I wont be surprised if ive done something retarded.

Hope it helps someone?!?

[Revive]

I'd prefer NOT to setup another account, especially with a vendor I am not familiar with., Is there a way to make this work with just Paypal and WB? If not, is there another module avail??

Thanks again and great work!
