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)

Yeah it looks messed up to me as well. What is your store id? I'll try and figure out what's going on with it.

I just noticed it is just the initial store home page. When I go into a category, it looks perfect. Example: http://www.tunernetwork.com/forum/sh...work01/5723231

My store Id is: tunernetwork01

So for whatever reason, it is just the main page of the store that has the footer all screwed up....not sure if its because my template is a custom one, but the rest of the pages should be messed up if that was the case as well, I would think anyhow...thanks for your help

Ok, I may have a temporary fix for this. In the template customization for your cafe press page, there is a section where you can "DeSelect" the show Side Bar. I did this, removed the left side links, and cleaned the page right up. Now my categories show nicely....

No problem, but I am right, right? I need to change those variables to match? Also, can you give me a a yes or no on the previous post of mine? Thanks again for the help!

[SuperGLS]

I can't figure out why mine doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Just this, right?

$stores = $vbulletin->options['CHANGETHISTOYOURSHOPNAME']; //EDIT THIS VARIABLE TO BE A LIST OF YOUR STORES

I started a fresh install after uninstalling the plugin. Reinstalled, uploaded my shop.php again and I'm getting a blank screen. www.elantraxd.com/forums/shop.php

This is my Cafepress store. www.cafepress.com/elantraxdstuff

You don't change that variable, that one gets set by vb itself, that line should read

$stores = $vbulletin->options['cafepressstoreid'];

Then in the vb admin options you set the store.

You might want to start from scratch. You don't need to modify anything in the file itself. Just put the file in your forum root directory, go into the admincp and set the store name in the vb options.

Thanks for that. I'll do some testing and see if I can figure out why the side bar makes a difference.

Looks like a great mod, I will be installing...is there a way to make the URL more friendly, like mysite.com/forums/golfshirts/shop.php?item=cnds.275329335 or someting like that?
