Integration with vBulletin - Cafe Press reloaded

Good morning everyone!

*** Second premium shops fix provided ***

*** New cafepress template fix for product detail page and jCarousel ***

*** Premium shops fix provided ***

*** Product details page is now fully functional AND enhanced ***

IMPORTANT: If you have a premium shop and the v2.0.8 add-on is working without problems, please backup your installation before upgrading to v2.5.

Post more info about your forum [URL, php version, type of shop/templates] - when encountering an issue.

This version has been updated for basic/free shops which stopped working since Jul 2008. It should work for both basic/free shops as well as premium shops with the default template.

===

This is a reworked version of the abandoned Cafe Press mod done by Creed and Dylanblitz:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182424

The original text for the mod follows:

This add-on will allow you to add all the items from any of your Cafe Press store or multiples if you so choose. If you have multiple stores that you intend to use with this mod, make sure you separate each store name with a comma.

This add-on works with Cafe Press basic/free store, as well as with premium stores.

Three files to upload.
One (optional) Template Edit.

Install/update instructions for v2.5

Step 1. Overwite the shop.php file with the one from the archive
Step 2. Enjoy!

Install/update instructions for v2.3

Step 1. Install Cafe Press v2.0.3 or higher [if you don't have it already installed]
Step 2. Replace shop.php with the one from v2.3
Step 3. Copy the contents of the /clientscript/ folder from the /upload folder into your forums' root [clientscript] directory, overwriting the existing files.
Step 4. Enjoy!

[the basic/free shop should be working now - and see the [Notes] section below for limitations/more information]

NOTES:

- if you have at least v2.0.3 installed then the only change needed is to replace the shop.php file and the cafe_press folder. You do not need to reimport the product.

- this new release fixes the issue with new templates on cafepress.com for the basic/free stores.

Known issues:

- version 2.5 only contains the files shop.php and /clientscript/cafe_press folder. It is NOT a full product install and requires you to have cafepress mod v2.0.3 or higher installed already.

- no other issues so far ; )

Let me know if you have any questions or encounter any problems with it.. thanks!


Cheers,
aproape

Also, for some reason, It is displaying the prices in CAD for me... How do I switch it to USD? When I go directly to my CafePress store, the prices are in USD just fine.


Thanks again.

Is your board/website hosted on a Canadian server or with a Canadian provider? That's the reason [mainly] why the cafepress store displays in CAD.. cafepress.com looks up the IP where the requests come from and tries to match your 'local' currency..

Hi there repairman jack,

I think this question should be addressed to a designer.. there are no templates in this mod so you have to either:

1. Modify the style for that forum [or somehow adapt it when someone enters the store]

2. Adjust the design elements from the module so that they fit in your narrow 80% style..

Hope this helps.

thanks

You could re-download the entire package and look for the files' path - and compare with what you have.

The css file should be in the proper place according to the archive location.. make sure you have the same directory structure on your board.

Ahh, yes that is the problem

Is there a way you can add a currency selector? My members are all from various countries around the world.

Unless cafepress.com is offering it on the same page - we can't do much there.. we pull the content/page entirely from cafepress and don't alter it in any way -

The CAD pricing is automatically done by cafepress based on the IP that made the request.. if you can find anything that allows currency selector on their site we can take a look..

[another solution would be for you to set-up a US-based proxy in-between your server and cafepress.. but that's a bit more complicated and prone to errors unless you have full control/know the person/company behind it/etc]

Of course - all the above unless you wants to move your hosting provider with a US ip : )

Hi Aproape...

Where do I change the metatag?

Works very well, thanks for the update...

I'm having two problems:

My footer on the shop.php is messed up as opposed to other pages, but on the product pages, it looks fine.

And when I click a different size of shirt that has an additional cost, the price reverts to the original price without the markup and adds the additional cost to that instead.

I also seem to have odd placement of the View Cart button, but I think that may be due to setup of my template.

Unfortunately, I don't have the credentials to the store yet, so I can't check any settings on the CafePress side. I should have access from the organizer of the store soon.

back to top link works in IE, but not FF.

In addition, when using IE, when the shop.php page loads, the products are not displayed correctly. If you visit my shop located at http://www.glitchpc.com/forums/shop.php using both IE and FF...just scroll down the page and you'll see where there are spaces between products.

Seems to me we have some coding issues with this mod as it is not compatible with all of the major browsers.

Is this being worked on? If not, I'm going to have to uninstall this mod and just direct visitors to the CafePress online store.

Thanks for a great mod, though...if you can get the kinks worked out of it. If you do, you should test it with all major browsers, IE, FF, Opera, Safari, etc., etc.

It's not just a FireFox issue, my store does the same thing in IE. It's probably some conflicting CSS between forum skins and CafePress, which means it probably has to be worked out on an individual basis.
