Add Product Actions to Lesane's Store Hack!

Physical Product Hack for Lesane's Store Hack
by ChurchMedia
---------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This hack has not been updated for the latest version of the Store Hack for VB2. I'll write a new hack if and when there is a VB3 version of the Store Hack
---------------------------------------------------------

What this hack is for:

If you want to sell actual products in your community store, such as books, videos, coffee mugs... whatever. I suggest adding products that promote your site. You can get all sorts of customized merchandise from Cafe Press.

Before you ask, this is not a shopping cart to sell things with real money. It's to redeem points for tangible products. If you don't like the idea of giving stuff away for posting, this isn't the hack for you.

---------------------------------------------------------

How this hack works/what it does (after initial setup):

1) You add a new action to the database from your admin cp
2) You modify 2 small parts of a code chunk and add it to your store.php
3) When a user purchases an item, they enter their address, etc.
4) You will receive an email with the product info and shipping info
5) The user receives a "receipt" by email as well

---------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Follow the instructions in:

initial_hack_instructions.txt

You only have to do this once!

---------------------------------------------------------

2) For new actions, follow the instructions in

add_action_instructions.txt

You have to follow these instructions for each new action/product you add, so keep them handy!

---------------------------------------------------------

Modifications:

1 Initial Modification to store.php
1 Modification to index.php in admin

Templates:
2 new templates are added

Screenshots are included in the zip file.

Enjoy!

You just make one up. So if you were selling a t-shirt you could call that action code SHIRT. Then that's the code you replace in the code chunk that you add to store.php. You have to edit store.php every time you add a new product (I don't know how else to do it).

Good luck

I dont get it.... once they buy something.... do they actually purchase a physical object or is it like all pretend?

[ChurchMedia]

Read the first post in the thread -- it's for selling physical product. It works great for me to get people posting and the products don't cost me much. It actually increases sales in my real store.

Very cool add-on. At the moment I only use teh Store Hack for the points system and people can redeem points for disk space, domains, plans etc. Now i can hard code the lot. T'is great!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this...

1) In the "newstoreaction.php" script

>>>>>>>>>>>FIND

$link = mysql_connect("localhost","yourusername","yourpass word");


>>>>>>>>>>>CHANGE

yourusername and yourpassword

Help?

i have a problem with this.

i installed all right away and good, but when i add an item to the shop it adds it to the database with all empty fields ?!

when i go then to edit the item there are also all empty fields..

seems like its not putting the data in to the database, allthough i have no mysql error....

What version of the store are you running? Note if you recently downloaded the store hack then it is a new version called 3.0 and no add ons will work with it unless converted.

So basically this add on should only work with the old store hack which is no longer available for download. Hope this helps.

[stamos2003]

oh.... so i must wait until the add on is gonna updated ? if ever it's updadet sad......
