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 vbseo a free hack from here? If it is I'll install it and test.
The reason I asked about the install is because the lines that errored are the only lines that use the store id variable. It's like it's not seeing that variable. I just checked again and it is picking up the store name variable, weird.

[tpearl5]

No, it's not free.

However, I hard coded my store id into store.php and it seems to be working now. *shrug. Looks like $vbulletin->options['cafepressstoreid']; wasn't being passed for some reason.

now, how to make the background white?

It uses the forum style for it's background. For your shop, I think you could edit line 297 from
echo "<td valign=\"top\">\n";
to be
echo "<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">\n";

and it should work.

Hi there Dylanblitz!

Thanks for this upgrade - wonderful add-on!

One observation though - after using it for about 5 minutes.. if you click on the LINK of the product [NOT the product image] - the target is the cafepress site..

I thought you might want to know and replace that to always show the same site not cafepress :-)

[at least not until checkout etc]

Cheers,
aproape

OK, I got this installed. I have a basic shop for now. When I run it, I get the following error:

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in [path]/shop.php on line 211

Ideas?

Hmm only thing it's doing at 211 is closing the connection after the initial connection to cafe press. Can you send me the shop page link and your store id so I can test further?

Well, I don't even pretend to understand this programming thing. I can follow instructions tho.

Weird. I just loaded the page again and now it is working.

It is breaking the style tho. How do I fix that?
