Integration with vBulletin - Cafe Press

At this time this mod is not functioning correctly. Cafepress has redone their free site template and it will take a rewrite of this mod to get it to work again. Not extremely difficult, just time consuming. Unfortunately, 2 jobs, a sick kid and commercial work leaves free time few and far between nowadays. I will try and work on it when I can. If any other coder out there is interested they are free to take what I have and run with it, just like Creed posted on his original code.


This is a reworked version of the abandoned Cafe Press mod done by Creed.

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

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

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

Basic Store Demo

Basic Store Single Item Demo

If you have at least 2.0.3 installed then only change needed is to replace the shop.php file. You do not need to reimport the product.

PREMIUM OWNERS PLEASE READ!!
I will not be able to officially support the shops of premium owners. The main problem is that there is no standardization on the templates available to premium users, especially in the css and notes markup which is what I count on for the script, and it's unrealistic to try and code for each one. The shop works for premium shops with the default template and no css added. A lot of the templates mess up the formatting.

I will help with what I can but there is only so much I can do.
When asking for help please include the following:
path to your shop.php file
store id
template used (if possible)

I sent you a pm with a tester to look at. It might be a difference in how their code works between premium vs free. Let me know if what I sent you will work. I'm not 100% happy with the compromise but it's the best I can do without them having better tags.

Alright thanks a lot I'll check it out now. If we can't get it to work I'll use a basic shop. This hack is worth it!

You want to give this one a try? I think it'll work a lot better. If it does then I'll change the code.
It's all ready to go with your info. Just upload it to your forums folder.

Glad it's working
I've got a couple more things to tweak on it then I'll put out a new one.

Hey I downgraded my account to basic so this would work good for me. Now I have a new issue but it shouldn't be much to figure out.

At the top of my shop, there is plain text that says:

"### Items ### -->"

At the bottom, there is plain text that says:

### end of ITEMS ### -->
End Content, Start Footer Include -->

Any clue where I can go to get rid of this? Thanks!

I'm about to post a new one. For some reason the code that I use to check where to start pulling in the content changes from page to page. I just need to account for them all and switch accordingly. The one I'm going to post now works for your shop.

Quick question.

On my site it is displaying the high level items fine, but when I click on any of them it takes me to the Cafe Press site. Is this how it should work?

Correct, that was how it was originally coded. I'm working on making it so that the only time you leave the local page is for adding to the cart and checkout.
