I believe that in 6-8 hours from now I'll be able to release ver. 1.5.0.

In version 1.5.0 I've also improved the Payment Partners sidebar clock:

1. Added ccBill and Offline payments as they were missing.
2. Chanfed .gif images to .png as this format is more popular and easy to replace.
3. Changed the templates with the new icons.

See the attached screenshot.

Nice! Can't wait! Does this version include the donations add-on you created?

Yes.

Hello all,

I'm happy to release eCommerce ver.1.5.0 which supports Donations. It's not a simple donations box, but a fully working addon implented to work smoothly with eCommerce sharing the eCommerce settings.

I'm not good on listing features as I'm not writting down them when I'm adding them. But the most important are:

• Can be turn On/Off as not all sellers want to accept Donations especially if all their products are commercial.
• You can build a donation goal list just by checking which of your products you want to appear there. eg if you've commercial and free products you can set only your free products to accept donations.
• You can set donations amounts or leave the setting empty. In thise case an input box will appears on the form and the user can sets his desired amount.
• Donations (if enabled) are appearing at Postbit
• Admin can Adds/Edit/Delet Donations
• Tomorrow I'll release a new version which will allows you to auto generate donation form for:
  • Forum Sidebar
  • vb CMS (if enabled)
  • Any PHP/HTML page

In addition to Donations I've added some features that have been requested by users:

• Welcome message appearing in the main page of your shop
• ccBill and Offline payments icons added in Payment Gateways block in sidebar. In addition I changed all gif images with png as they're more popular. This is for those who want to change images
• Added one more field in customer table "Vat Office". This is a need for EU customers along with their VAT id.

Maybe I added more, but not really remember them now :rolleyes:

To upgrade:

1. Download the latest 1.5.0 version
2. Upload ALL files from upload directory. Sorry but more than 20 files have been modified plus many others have added (including images), so it should be a waste of time to try uploading one by one 30 files. If you want to save some time don't upload the folder "editor" inside ecommerce folder.
3. Inport product-ecommerce.xml and don't forget to check "Overwrite".

Finally, spent some seconts to rate eCommerce. Any rating... but rate. It's just seconds.

Thank you
Christos

Just updated, the only thing is I do not have the "Donate for" dropdown, nor the text above it... is there something I am missing? I only see the "Your name, leave a message, and amount.

Edit** I may have done something wrong in the uploads... trying again...

You must check the settings. By default "Donate for" is set to No.

Whenever I attempt to delete donations.. I receive the following error


**Edit** I am at work using "net2ftp" as I cannot access my programs here. So maybe that is the case as it's not as functional uploading a large amount of files, I guess I will re install this 'officially' when home, either way, this ROCKS!

Ok. It's 23:00pm here and I was working almost 16 hours today so I need some sleep. I'll be again online in 8 hours.

Upgraded the mod, but the welcome box does not work. Am I missing something? I put the text in the box and it does not show. http://lenmkaiser.com/vb/vb4/cart.php

On the invoices when you redo that part I wanted to also ask for the ability to add fields myself to it. Like for instance you have an Tax & Shipping Information area I would like a Client Information area as well where I could add my own fields or have these fields plus the ability to add extra fields if needed in the future...

Account Number
Email Address
Web Site URL
Web Site Name
Client Name
Date

Also if you select a product from the drop down list in the invoice page it does not automatically add the amount in the price field of the product nor does it add the price after you put a quantity in. Is it possible to get it to automatically add that price and then if the quantity is more than 1 it adds that price together reflecting the total amount in the "Item Price" box. For instance if my product is $5.00 and I put the quantity at 3 it should automatically add it together and put $15.00 in the Item Price field and then automatically put the total. If that is too much coding or impossible to do that is fine I understand.

Also, yeah I know I'm full of ideas right now lol, but is it possible to add a simple support ticket system to the e-commerce mod where they could submit a ticket based on an item they purchased form the store or based on custom work from an invoice or if they are an ongoing client they could submit a support ticket if there was a problem with their web site?

You most probably mean something like this:

Hello,

Here is the new version 1.6.0 maybe the last one with new features. Sure should be immediatelly updates for bug fixes, but I can't promise anything about new features.

What's new in version 1.6.0

1. Added a Donation form generator. What you can do with this:
   1. Automatically add a donations form in Forum sidebar
   2. Get the generated HTML code and add it to any page even in different website.
   3. Unfortunatelly widget creation for vB CMS is not possible as vBulletin seems that something changed again there. It also changed the way to create a Forum block but this was easy to find. The problem with CMS widgets is that I was unable to create a block even manually. Like that they have disabled PHP and HTML type widgets. So I gave up to this.
2. Corrected the new payment gateway images in the checkout templates.

How to upgrade:

1. Download version 1.6.0
2. Upload ecommerce_admin.php to your admincp directory
3. Upload upload/includes/xml/cpnav_ecommerce.xml to includes/xml/ directory
4. Import product-ecommerce.xml from admincp and don't forget to click overwrite.

Christos

I still do not see the message box on the first page, its not working. I've typed the info into the Welcome Message field and saved it numerous times. It still does not show. I upgrade to the 1.6.0 version.

Actually not quite but close. This is pretty much what I've looked for. I'm sure other people have other ideas on how they want to run their sites etc. But this has always been my thoughts.

This is gonna be long, remember you asked lol. :)

Things important for me in running my business:

1. Having a Forum and having one login for everything, hence the reason I am trying to get the store, forum, cms, etc set up. (vBulletin offers this obviously)
2. Having the CMS in place for articles, manuals, my portfolio, my list of services, and other information about my business. (vBulletin offers this obviously)
3. Having a downloadable products store.
4. Having a private support ticket system for members/clients.
5. Having a invoice system where I can invoice or quote past clients.
6. Having a subscription service where I can have a skin club with more basic skins for business type sites. This they pay XXXX a month or 3 months, 6, 12 etc. (This I will use the built in vBulletin feature for it works exactly the way I need it to but I have an adult design site in wings that I'm working on and will need this feature in a shopping cart to use CCBill).
7. Having a client area where they can view their account details, download links, products, input their web site URL, and pick up and answer their support tickets.

Store:

1. Downloadable products allowed with "hidden" downloads where they are secure and cannot be accessed without paying for the item.
2. Products that can be shipped. I offer my clients the option of me shipping them a backup of their site via postal mail on a DVD. This works great for clients who do not have fast internet connections or time to sit and download several gigs of files for ever in a day just have their backup. So there would be a shipping charge as well as the charge for the DVD.
3. Demo link
4. Screenshots
5. Pretty much what you have done so far. It works perfectly for what I need really.

Invoice/Quote System:

1. An invoice/quote system that allows me to input extra fields if I need them.
2. I should be able to send this invoice/quote to a client who is a member of my site and already has a verified account.
3. Unlimited invoice/quote rolls/fields so if the client wants quite a lot of work done (which does happen) then I can add rolls to the invoice to add the new items.
4. The following fields would be required client information:
***a) Client Name
***b) Client Email address
***c) Client Web Site URL
***d) Client Account Number (and this could even be a built in feature where it assigned an account number automatically but that is not really a deal breaker, I base my account numbers on the client's name, web site name and some random numbers)
***e) Client Web Site Name
***f) Date of invoice/quote.
5. The following fields would be required for adding products to the invoice:
***a) Item Name (This would give the option of a field I could add myself or I could choose a service from the drop down of the things that are sold in my shop)
***b) Quantity (this would be a manual edit for obvious reasons)
***c) Price (to be put in automatically if the item is an item in my store - this amount would automatically calculate if the quantity is more than 1)
***d) Item Discount (Yeah ok I see the good int his although I probably may not use it all that often it maybe helpful in the future)
***e) Deposit (This would be an amount that the client has put down on a job. This would be subtracted from the total amount due automatically)
***f) Total (Should automatically total everything up in the roll.)
***g) Subtotal, Total, Discount, amount due total should automatically calculate.

Tax & Shipping I really personally do not need but I do see why it should be there for those who may not be using this for downloadable products.

Payment information is fine as it is.

Private Support Ticket System:

I would need the following in a support ticket system:

1. A private system where a client or customer from the shop can submit a ticket.
2. The tickets need the following items:
***a) The ability to add my own fields but ultimately I would like at least the following fields for a client to fill out that are mandatory for them...
******1. Name
******2. Web URL
******3. Email Address
******4. Site software (This would probably work better as a drop down field where I can add which software I support)
******5. A description field so the client could type out the issue they are having.
***b) The added ability to allow clients & me to upload attachments within the support area so we can attach screen shots or files for each each describing the problem.
***c) A FAQ (For me this is not mandatory but nice, right now I do not have a FAQ list made up for a support area but I'm sure i could think of one)
***d) The ability to have an estimated time frame for answers that I can add a message to.
***e) The ability to have a status on the tickets:
******1. Open
******2. Closed
******3. Working
***f) The ability to assign tickets to workers if I eventually hire others.
***g) A built in chat feature with a nice bar at the bottom right of the web page. I believe there are several chat scripts thought that might do this.

Client Area:

This area is for logged in clients/customers only.

1. The client area needs the following:
***a) A place to put their web site link per item they purchased in the shop. I would like it to validate the link if possible but I realize that may not be possible.
***b) A list of all the items they have purchased with information on the purchases:
******1. Date purchased
******2. Item Name
******3. Quantity purchased
******4. Length of license
******5. Upgrade link (if applicable)
***c) A place for their support tickets.

The client area you have is pretty much what I would need with just the support tickets added.

Have you manually modified the template ecommerce_main (you can see it in red color in template list)? Most probably yes as I seen in your screenshot. Keep in mind that manually modified templates are not updating when you import a product xml file. You must revert it and then import product-ecommerce.xml

Please let me know
Christos

GRRRRRRRR Ok. :(

EDIT: ok that worked thanks. :)

hi
When a user performs "Submit URL".
He always gets the message "Invalid data specified".
And the URL is correct.
Thanks

My bad, sorry. I've started adding a check there for valid installation of your product (and not just a vaild domain name), but I left it unfinished.

Please upload the attached file.

Sorry again.

It works :D
thank you very much

A new version (1.6.1) just release fixing a bug reported by knikio (Thank you).

This bug was showing an "Invalid data" message when the user was submitting an Installation URL even if the URL was correct. It was my mistake as I've left there some unfinished code. I'll make the "Submit URL" more professioanl by checking:

1. If the URL is not only valid but also if there is an installation of your product there.
2. When the user changes the installation URL the system will checks if the product has really remove from the old domain.

To upgrade:

1. Download version 1.6.1
2. Upload clientarea.php in your installation
3. Optional import product-ecommerce.xml to update your version.

Since this version there is also a PRO version available. Like most other mods here. The only difference is that the PRO version is still 100% Free but available for download only in my site. Other than this, the version here should be always available for download and updated for any reported bug.

Version 1.7.0 ("Pro") should be available in some hours and should has an extra tab in product page "Ask a Question". See the attached screenshot.

Version 1.8.0 ("Pro") should be available tomorrow and will has a sidebar block "Rate and Review our store".

Thank you
Christos

I registered in your Forum and look forward to posting beyond the PRO version.

Chris,

In this product there is the possibility the user need not put your personal details like address for example?

Reason: All of my products are virtual, no need to send them by post and so there is no user's address need.

Hello Manoel,

Firstly thank you for registred in my site. As for your request now, I can understand perfectly your problem, and actually this was the way that the mod was working before. There was a setting in options to collect or not client details.

The reason that I've changed it is because effective since Jan 1st 2015, all online shops selling electronic (downloadable) products, must collect EU VAT from their EU Citizens.

Maybe your shop is outside EU and maybe you'll never have a EU citizen client. But that fields must be there "just in case".

Anyway, I'll see what I can do in the upcoming version (1.8.0) tomorrow. What I'm thinking is to bring back the setting, but this will still shows the fields, just it will removes the "Requirent check".

Christos

Thank you for Chris explanation,

I am Brazilian and would never have an EU client, does not have the control panel disable these options?

Thank U

Hi
I AM using eCommerce 1.7.0
When a user submit a question in the "Ask a Question"
When they click on the send button
All they get is a white screen.
Thank you again for your help

I would think you should be asking on his site since that is where you got that version from.

And since it states in the first post.

1. Report any Bug only on the link above. Reporting Bugs here will be ignored. This thread should be ONLY for questions. Thank you.

Love this product, so slick compared to other shop products. Thanks!!

One thing, if you get a chance in another release. Could you possibly add the option to send a notification email?

For example, can the shop send an email to shop@ ..... once an order is received (as well as have a separate paypal@.... address). That one tweak would be huge for us. Will pay for the tweak if needed.

Johnny, please post it at:
http://www.christos.teriakis.com/iss...typeid=feature

Thank you for the new pro (but free) version, 1.8.1.

Chris I would love to register at your site but I have not idea what the question means it makes no sense at all to me. That could possible be one reason why you are not getting a lot of people signing up. Possibly pick a question that people can actually guess a little easier and it might help.

Sorry for this but nobody reported something like this before :confused:
eg: Which is the 11-4 Month of the Year?
The correct answer is: July (11-4=7)

By asking "Which is the 7th month of the year" it can be easily break by bots that's why I'm always using calculations. And I can say that I've 0 spam. Not now which is normal with a few registrations but even when I had 2000+ members.

Ok registered. :) Its probably just the Greek to English translation that is causing the confusion because the first question I got made absolutely no sense whatsoever. So some of those may need to be looked over to ensure the translation makes sense.

and i thought i was stupid. :p But after reading and re-reading i figured it out.. :)

I can't stand the Q & A stuff, I got something I am working on Christos, that so far in a week of testing, has not let any spammers through.

I turned off all the mods I recommend, and have no captcha or questions to answer. Once it is in a better state, I'll PM you on OzzModz.

You know what? I?m pissed. Not just a little bit, no, I?m REALLY pissed! So pissed like a thermonuclear strike ruins the whole day..

Just installed this one out of couriosity and this goddamn mod is so f..king great that I bite my backside to the bone, that I don?t have a single item that I could sell there :D (What the heck are you all offering in there?)

Really a nice piece of software, kudos Christos :up:

Nominated!

well I'm glad you're pissed :D this is indeed a nice software

Continuing to make good on our credo, "The Era of Big Spam is Over."

LOL yeah I had to as well. Had the read it a couple of times to comprehend it. The first one though it did not matter how many times I read it. :(

Awesome! I'm sure it will be useful. :)

eCommerce has been updated with the latest free version 1.8.4. As there are 6 releases (1.7.0, 1,.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3, 1.8.4) since the last version here (1.6.1), I suggest you to give a look (there is no need for registration) to:

http://www.christos.teriakis.com/for...-Announcements

and read the new features, bug fixes, upgrading instructions etc.

The current (Commercial) version is: 2.1.1

Problem with the latest update. I have a weird lightbox that I have not asked for in the product page now after doing the update. I've attached a screen shot. Its an adult site so everyone is forewarned. Its all the way at the bottom. I do not understand why its there I have no images for this item.
