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)

is there a way to use this tool in conjunction with cafepress affiliate links?

I.e.

I have a cafepress affiliate account and I would like to display products related to my subject/topic.

I would not own the products myself, but I am selling them.

Possible?

This only shows the products that are listed when you visit your store id. I haven't played with the affiliate accounts, I might when I have some more time.

I have a small...issue. Its not really a problem and Im sure someone with more vB experience can help me.

When someone visits the shop, it doesnt show on who's online. Not even as an "unknown location". Can someone tell me how to write that plugin as it pertains to this product?

two plugins, open this with notepad and replace Cafe Press Shop with whatever you want it to say, then import it.

I thank you for your time, but it doesnt work. ^^ It just says "Viewing Forum Index" in the who's online.

Any way to use my own "Add to cart" button? I have a dark skin (dark gray and red)... and that orange button with white background doesn't match my site at all. It really looks cheap and tacky.

Also, is there any way to remove the left column? I don't need it at all. All of my shop items are on one page and the left column is just useless clutter.

Btw, this works with vbulletin v3.6.4.

Hmm, I'm getting that on my local system too, but doing it that way works for like 10 other pages I have. Only difference is this one isn't using any templates. I wonder if that's it. I'll have to keep playing around.

Can you send me the link to your shop.php and the store id? Also, what is the path to the button you want to use? I think I can replace the button and I'll have to play around a bit to get it to remove the left column.
