2.- Installation
  • Download and unzip microCART.zip file
  • Upload all the files in your site keeping the same structure. eg cart.php must be on the same level as your forum.php
  • CMOD 777 the directories:
    • microcart
    • microcart/photos
    • microcart/photos/thumbs
    • microcart/photos/tmp
    • microcart/editor/files
    • microcart/editor/flash
    • microcart/editor/media
    • microcart/editor/photos
    • microcart/pdf
    • microcart/fonts
    • microcart/images
  • Login to your admincp and import product-microcart.xml
3.- Configuration
  • First of all you need to setup microCART General Options. The most important option is to set the path to the directory where you'll store the files. For security reasons you must create a directory over the public area. Then write the full path in the options. Don't forget the trailing slash at the end. Example:
    • /home/username/downloads/
  • Setup Usergroup permissions. Available options are:
    • Can access the store
    • Can order
    • Can Moderate. Please note that, as a way to bypass the limitation of having vB editor in admincp, I've moved the product descriprion, system messages and agreements to fronend. But only those who can moderate can access this area, and only for modifying the text. Nothing more.
  • Setup Categories and Subcategories for your store.
  • Setup your Agreements (at least one)
  • Start adding products but from AddOns and Services. It will helps you to save time, as when at a later time you add a main product, you can choose the addons.
  • To work properly with HTML editor you need to edit settings.php locating at: microcart/editor/assetmanager/ and set the corrects paths.
4.- Product Options (Configurations)

In version 1.0.3 has been added support for configurable options. Not just simple text choices, but options that can increase/decrease the total price. That's why you need to pay extra attention on entering these options to avoid pricing mess.

First of all, you can find these options as "Extra Options" on the droplist on the right of each product (AdminCP). By choosing it you'll get a list of all available configurable options for the specific product. You can Edit and Delete it, or you can change the display order. Click "New Extra Option" to add one.

There is no need for explanation of title. Write there anything that you want. Examples of configuration options are: Color, Size, Ram, Hard disk etc. So let's write Size. In the box below you must add all the available options keeping the format:
Amount|Name

Examples:
  • 0|Normal : This option dosen't changes the product's price and it will appears as: Normal
  • 15.30|Large : This option increases the price by 15.30 and it will appears as: Large (+$15.30) ... The currency symbol is the one that you've setup. DON'T NEED TO ENTER CURRENCY SYMBOL HERE
  • -7.50|Mini : This option decreases the price by 7.50 and it will appears as: Mini (-$7.50). ONCE MORE: DONT ADD CURRENCY SYMBOL.
5.- Product Terminology
  • Price: Is the normal price that you're selling a product (eg 49.95)
  • Discount: Is the amount that you're giving as discount. eg if you place 4.95 here the price will appear as $49.95 $45.00
  • Special (Bundle) price. Currently not in use
  • AddOns. Are products that someone can order in the same form (eg Installation, Brand Free etc).
  • Special Bundle. Currently not in use
6.- Understanding Shipping Zones
To understand Shipping fields (Base weight, Base fare, Extra weight, Extra fare), you must know how the companies (at least the most of them) are working. They're saying: Till 3 kilos the rate is $15. More than 3 kilos you must add $3 per 500gr (1/2 kilos). In this example you must setup:
  1. Base weight 3000 (in grammars) or 3 (in kilos)
  2. Base fare 15.00
  3. Extra weight 500 (in grammars) or 0.5 (in kilos)
  4. Extra fare 3.00
  5. Please note to use the same as the definied in the general option weight unit. Setting in options kgr and here grammars is the best way to mess your shop.
7.- Friedly notes
  • Please let my copyright link in place. Thank you.
  • When rating, please remember that you're rating the script and not me as a person. Thank you.
  • Don't spam this thread with comments about my personality. Comment my work only. Thank you.
8.- Demo9.- Warning

The included HTML Editor is commercial, so you can use it ONLY within microCART directory.

About the errors I posted before, the first one is on this line:
PHP Code:
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletinfetch_tag_list()); 
Any ideas?

I think I found the problem.

My wife and I are both Admins, everyone else are in four groups:

Registered Users
Lurkers
Inactive members
FOMS

As soon as the other groups were enabled the problem arose.

It seems that if a member of one group goes onto the shop and then a member from a different group goes on after, the problem occurs.

We have just replicated this by adding a new member, "test user" with the usergroup FOMS as the primary group.

I as an Admin go onto the site, order an item and then quit to the forum prior to the payment

I log out and then back in as "test user", go to the shop, and my basket already has one item, I order an item, when I go to checkout, my details (address etc.) from the previous session are there.

I change the details to match fictional details of "test user" and then quit out to the forum.

My wife logs in on her machine as Admin, goes to the shop and there are already two items in the cart. She buys an item and on going to checkout, "test user" details are in the boxes and there are now three items in the cart.

If just my wife and I (Admins) buy items, the system works as it should, only when a different usergroup is introduced does the problem arise. Also, in a panic, when the problem was reported, the fastest way to stop the shop was simply to disable it, when I re-enabled it, the cart was cleared.

That is exactly what we are seeing here, hope this helps.

Regards, Jeff.

Thanks for looking,

I installed Mictocart on VB4.1.1, (no Microcart configurations made), clic on the microcart tab the first time and that is the first message I get.

Below that, I also see a message that I (admin) do not have the rights to view the page.

Instructions say that I should set group permissions, but I can not find where. Is it ACP / Usergroup manager?

Have you customised anything yet

Does it go back to normal if you re-tick the plugin?

Yes you need to set the usergroups up that can use the cart and who cannot.
login to admincp->usergroups->usergroup manager here you will be able to change settings to each usergroup.

Bug List
  • 'View Invoice' in AdminCP Broken - Fixed Available in next release
  • Emails not getting sent to customer after purchase - Working
  • Stock Levels: Can still purchase when stock = 0 - Fixed
  • Paypal does not update AdminCP Invoice - Work In Progress
  • Purchase agreements not utilised upon checkout
  • The ability to not use customer data / shipping for downloadable products / non-shippable products - Cannot do as if you sell downloadable and shippable products then the system would not know if to show the customer data / shipping if they have both types within there cart. Will look at another way of doing this

New Feature Requests
  • Stock Level to not show when not in use - Fixed This will show even if the product is not a downloadable product now.
  • Specific shipping price for an item
  • Email updates sent to user when order status in changed - Working on this

I should be releasing an update later today for this product.
