-- Simple Shopping Cart v1.1 -- Addon for pixelpost v1.6 --


Description:

This is a shopping system for everyone. No need for paypal, no need for users to register or login.

This Addon gives you a very simple implementation of a Shopping Cart in your pixelpost. It works as a floating menu above your recent theme.

You can collect images all the way through your blog, and even leave the page for some time (just don't quit the browser completely). It identifies the viewer with the session ID and his IP adress.

Add and Delete pics as you like. Next Press the "Checkout" button and Last the "Send Order" button. Now some new email window on your local mail client should open with all necessary contents in it.

Right after the basket gets deleted automatically. The basic AJAX stuff is from http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=fly-to-basket .


What you got to do:

Open the simple_shopping_cart.php and edit:

Line 7: Price per Picture
Line 8: insert your email address for print orders here
Line 9: This is the message that appears in the email under the price calculations.


Installation:

Copy the simple_shopping_cart.php from this "addons" folder into the "addons" folder of your pixelpost base directory.

Copy the "shopping" folder directly in your basedirectory, just next to "addons", "admin", "doc", "images" ....

Go to the "cache" folder inside of the "shopping" folder ( like shopping/cache ) on your server and CHMOD it to 777

Next you got to insert 5 lines into your "image_template.html". Don't be afraid, its easier than you think:

Another sweet add-on, Tom. :D

Any way to adjust the "Shopping Cart" button's position on the page? I'd like it right next to the "Buy This Print" button but can't figure out how to swing that.

@greentraveler: just look into the shopping/style.css and look for #show_button (line 14)
position: fixed; // makes it floating fixed on some position on the screen, no matter if u scroll

just delete all inside #show_button { ... } and it should just work as another graphics.


regards, tom.

Hi Tomyeah,

I tried to install it my site (now using your new template:) )
However it does not work for me.
Could I ask you to have a look at the site for any issues?

Thanks for some great work
