you might find the footer stick article of use. It uses CSS to make sure the footer stays at the bottom but may not always work with the rest of your CSS, depending upon your design.

Thanx for the tips. I am looking at starting a store for my wife, and I wanted to use TXP to handle it. Now that I see it done (and with your tips) I think I am ready to tackle it.

I just have to decide if I want to do the Yahoo store, or find a different shopping cart/payment processor. :)

I have “fixed” the javascript on the pages to always knock below the text. So while it still does its thing, it is not so intrusive. I found a better way to get the footer to always stick, but I would have to totally redesign the layout (and I am bushed on this one for a while). Here is the URL for those interested.

Thanks, eveybody, for your comments. On the writeup thing, I am doing this again later this summer for another client using TXP/Yahoo. I will write a progression down and post it then.

Hello, just cross-posting my TxP e-commerce related post – looks like there’s a fair bit of crossover, but I’d be interested in finding out more about using conditionals to keep everything in one page template.

aboswell, thats a great looking site! I’m looking to integrate yahoo store with a txp site as well. Is there any way you could make a small write up on how you did it?

Thanks!

aboswell · 2005-09-05 17:50:44

bitwise, thanks for the compliment!

I was thinking of doing a yahoo/txp writeup, but then got swamped with work. I will have to wait for things to calm down before gettin into it. I am working on a site now that will integrate the two more fully. Hopefully by December(ish) I will have more time.

bitwise · 2005-09-05 18:05:08

cool, thanks for the quick response! I am going to attempt to try this.. If I am successful, we can compare notes around December :)

cheers,
Dave

just a tip. the main thing i did was to make one of the left side custom fields to be the yahoo id. I know there are easier ways of coding this now, but not really at the time.

here you go.

If you have questions, feel free to post.

Hey aboswell…
I am just getting around to trying to implement this now. Do you host your pages on a Yahoo site? I see you are using clean urls, but Yahoo doesnt allow .htaccess or mod_rewrite.

Also you said above you realize there is an easier way of doing this, can you explain that futher?

Thanks,
Dave

great stuff!
I am also interested in how e-commerce and TXP can be painlessly united together. Must read this thread 3 times to figure your moves exactly out… :P (midnight here and sleepy)

bitwise- I am using TXP on my own server and then processing the shopping cart through Yahoo. I don’t know if you can still do that, but on the Yahoo account that we have (very old) it goes to http://order.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/wg-order?screenguardz so I pass the variables through like I have shown above and it adds the item to the cart. It’s kinda cool that it allows me to add the items across domains.

Perhaps the thing to do with the current Yahoo accounts would be to buy two URLs and point one to the shopping cart. Like so:

http://www.screenguardz.com is the store and http://www.screenguardz-checkout.com is the cart. Dunno if that would work.

ricoschette- I wouldn’t call putting this together painless, but i can be done. This cart so far has processed over 1000 orders without a hitch since April. If you are having problems, post here and I will try to help as I have time.

Like I said in a previous post, I have been working on another cart using the latest revision of TXP. The project was supposed to be completed by the end of September, but…

I will post more as I can.

Do you store the pricing information in TXP? I see that you have it on the product list and product pages.. but I didn’t see a field for it in your admin screenshot.

If I want to use clean URLs, I definitely can’t use Yahoo for the hosting account. Its a shame, because I’m paying $100/mo, and I really don’t want to have to spend more on another url.. it seems like it makes things unneccesarily difficult. Since I haven’t really invested too much time with the Yahoo store yet, I am wondering if I should find another eCommerce platform — one that would interface a little more seamlessly with TXP.

aboswell · 2005-10-09 19:58:56

The pricing is detirmined by our Yahoo interface, but there is a Yahoo code that can bring the price in. All of our stuff is the same price, though, so I hard coded it.

That sucks about Yahoo not allowing mod_rewrite and clean URLs. I wouldn’t switch ecommerce solutions just because it doesn’t play nice with TXP, though. We use Yahoo because the merchant solution was the best for our needs. You will have to weigh out what your needs are and go from there.

bitwise · 2005-10-09 20:12:39

I don’t see how you could use the yahoo codes in your textpattern pages. It sounds like your txp install is on a whole different server, can you explain how those work if its not on the y! side?

I believe that he’s using custom forms along with his custom tags that point things to the yahoo cart.
