Re: wfCart session-based shopping cart with PayPal Checkout
Steve:
Is this compatible with 4.0.6?

Re: wfCart session-based shopping cart with PayPal Checkout
sorry I’m currently not pursuing this plugin anymore. most of my time as of late has been playing around with magento commerce.
i doubt this would be enough of an ecommerce solution for anyone as it doesn’t record sales, calculate stock etc etc like textcommerce is supposed to do. its also much further along with ecommerce + txp backend integration than i am.

Re: wfCart session-based shopping cart with PayPal Checkout
iblastoff:
Thanks. In fact I just need a REAL simple solution (show product, build cart, pay pal process). This is a “test the waters” for the client to see if it makes sense to really develop an ecomrrece solution area.
Also, not sure if this is the apporpriate place, but as a user of Textpattern for 3+ years, and a somewhat active contributor on the messgae board and with certain plug in development (from the testing and concept side), I am interested in learning more about the goal. I have read the message board, but I am still unclear about the fork, its final objective … so on and so on …
Thanks.

Isn’t this quite wrong forum, even wrong site? :-)

Re: wfCart session-based shopping cart with PayPal Checkout
Gocom:
You are correct. I used bad forum protocal.
I was just asking more for information purposes, not for lets start a discussion here on this site about another app. :-)
I will inquire on the other forum for more details so I can get a clear understanding of what it is, where it is going, and to gage my interest.
Thanks.

Re: wfCart session-based shopping cart with PayPal Checkout
I’ve been working on getting TextCommerce to work with PayPal.
I had it working on a txp 4.0.5 install – with a few catches.
A) The shopping cart was simply sending a lump sum total to PayPal for checkout (and also could send the shopper’s name, address, etc.). Acceptable, but not as powerful as we’d like.
B) While attempting to get TextCommerce to deliver an itemized list of products to PayPal – with sizes and colors specified so that the shopper could review all the details of their purchase within PayPal itself, I needed to upgrade to 4.0.6 to get the latest glz_custom_fields to work.
C) I have now lost the TextCommerce tab, and can’t seem to get it back – despite trying to add the “add_privs” statement. TextCommerce actually adds a new tab – not in the extensions pane but in its own location between “content” and “presentation” – with multiple subtabs, so the instructions listed on the TXP Forum don’t apply in a straightforward enough way for me to implement. I would love some help in figuring this out.
Once the above issue is resolved, I’m envisioning tying mem_self_register in with the customer side of TextCommerce, and then having one heck of a happy eCommerce plugin suite.
