Thinking about building an e-commerce plugin...

Hi Levi, will the beta work with PayPal?

Hi Levi, just want to say that I’m looking forward to this wonderful plugin! So far I haven’t had the time to test it, but I hope to do so soon. Thanks for all your good work!

Hello, a_band!

We ( Russian Textpattern community ) think that your e-commerce plugin for Textpattern is a huge step forward in TxP popularity.
Russian Textpattern community also attentively watches for your work, and there are two questions:

Do you plan to provide localization ability to your plugin? When will be possible to test it?
Is it possible to insert Russian currency – ISO 4217 (RUSSIAN FEDERATION – RUB) into initial setup of plugin?

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

Hi Levi, will the beta work with PayPal?

I believe so. I think that would be the best option for an initial release.

Evgeny: Wow! How exciting to hear that so many people are interested.

Do you plan to provide localization ability to your plugin? When will be possible to test it?

I do plan to do it. Other people have echoed the need for this feature. But right now I’m focusing on just getting the intial release out the door and then making revisions. But considering TXP’s large international following, it’s a high priority for me.

Is it possible to insert Russian currency – ISO 4217 (RUSSIAN FEDERATION – RUB) into initial setup of plugin?

Absolutely. I’m surprised that I missed it. I’ll make sure it gets into the next build.

I’m looking forward to this plugin as well. I have tested it a bit. Good work!

All right… We’re in Alpha

Thanks everyone!

Great to see Levi! Thanks for this…

I downloaded the patched install of TxP – which installed fine – now I just need a couple of pointers to work out how to start playing with it.
On a standard install of the patched version, the ‘Store’ tab just gives me a 404, and I don’t see any other hints for operation…

Not expecting full docs or anything, but can you steer me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi Levi,

awesome work! Just posted an article on TextCommerce on the german TXP Resource Blog. Once the Plugin is final i can help with translation into german.

Just one question: wouldn´t it be a good idea adding a link to your dropcash campaign on the left hand side bar on the TextCommerce site?

Great work! I just found out about this and did a clean test install. After creating a few products, clicking on the product link gives me “404 Not Found, Unknown section”. Normal articles work ok.

First I want to say it is simply amazing the amount of work thus far and options! I was blown away by what you had done.

I too am running into the same problem as rr

as an added note I realized that since the section was missing I added the appropriate section called store

at which point the error resolved to “The requested page was not found”

OK to resolve this you need to, add a section called store and use default page, then go to admin and switch to messy urls. It should now display it as an article. Use <txp:article_image /> to display images.

I am not sure though how to call such things as price or weight, but I will keep looking into it.

Ok I figured out how to display the rest of the fields, the only thing I can’t figure is how to actually buy an item. To see vendor, price, weight, sku, and any other fields you need to do the following add custom fields

The fields you need to add are called price, weight, vendor, sku, and stock. I can’t say if this will be how the final version pans out but this is what you need to do for now.

Hope that helps.

Anybody got an example of a form for product info display?

sthmtc · 2007-04-25 19:12:17

@WhiteDog: from my understanding Levi only developed the admin part of the plugin and all the other things are yet to be implemented…

-rr- · 2007-04-25 19:31:37

Ok, created “store” section, added a section link to the store section and voilá, it works, no 404 error.

Cant’ make the item info: price, weight, vendor, sku, and stock show up yet, never mind buying. A basic guide on how this is done would be nice.
