Miscellaneous Hacks - CartPlog: The Lite PayPal Shopping Cart

CartPlog: The Lite PayPal Shopping Cart

CartPlog Lite is a shopping cart for PayPal payments. CartPlog Lite allows for categories, products, and options, and it keeps track of transactions by utilizing the PayPal IPN interface. The installation takes care of phrases, templates, tables, etcetera. Just follow the README.txt file for installation.

CartPlog v.1.0.0. is here and CartPlog v.2.0.0. is here. So what's new in CartPlog v.3.0.0?

• This is the vB4 version with the CartPlog v.2.0.0 updates...
  • You can set different prices for each usergroup on a per product basis
  • You can select whether a product is active for certain usergroups
  • You can allow your shoppers to change the displayed currency
  • Guest shoppers can now view the cart without losing their session
  • Moving a product to a different category now updates correctly
  • Some code and template cleanup and organization was performed

Requirements: This version is for vB 4.x.x only.
Tested: vB 4.0.3 (but should work on other versions).
Does it work on all vB 3.x or 4.0? See the requirements.

There is a license agreement that I request that you abide. Thanks!

These are vB3 based screenshots. Please use your imagination for vB4.

Hi,

Excellent add-on...

Is there the ability in the options to add a text area where the user can enter text?

For Example:

Special Requirements
< user enters text>

[Bounce]

Also can the thumbnail be clickable?

Thanks

Not without some modification to this mod however I edited my version replacing the add to cart and view cart w/ e-junkie links to my products and services so it can be customized but on the entry field comment, I'm utilizing the easy forms mod in conjunction with this - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234385

Edit template cartplog_view_item and find:

			<vb:if condition="$cartplog['product_thumb']">
				<img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:raw cartplog.product_thumb}" alt="" border="0" />
			<vb:else />
				<img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/cartplog_no_image.gif" alt="" border="0" />
			</vb:if>

Replace with:

			<vb:if condition="$cartplog['product_thumb']">
				<a href="cartplog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewitem&amp;cartplogproductid={vb:raw cartplog.product_productid}"><img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:raw cartplog.product_thumb}" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<vb:else />
				<a href="cartplog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewitem&amp;cartplogproductid={vb:raw cartplog.product_productid}"><img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/cartplog_no_image.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</vb:if>

Also edit template cartplog_product_item and find:

	<vb:if condition="$cartplog['product_thumb']">
		<img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:raw cartplog.product_thumb}" alt="" border="0" />
	<vb:else />
		<img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/cartplog_no_image.gif" alt="" border="0" />
	</vb:if>

Replace with:

	<vb:if condition="$cartplog['product_thumb']">
		<a href="cartplog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewitem&amp;cartplogproductid={vb:raw cartplog.product_productid}"><img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:raw cartplog.product_thumb}" alt="" border="0" /></a>
	<vb:else />
		<a href="cartplog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewitem&amp;cartplogproductid={vb:raw cartplog.product_productid}"><img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/cartplog_no_image.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
	</vb:if>

See where I'm headed with this? So basically check all templates for code similar to:

<img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:raw cartplog.product_thumb}" alt="" border="0" />

And replace with:

<a href="cartplog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewitem&amp;cartplogproductid={vb:raw cartplog.product_productid}"><img style="{vb:raw vboptions.cartplog_thumbcss}" src="{vb:raw cartplog.product_thumb}" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Tips:
- Making the picture large is fine, this way when they click it opens full size and cartplog will resize it to appear as a thumbnail regardless on the index, item view and other areas if you edit those as well.
- Make all images of products a square i.e. 600x600 pixels otherwise when it resizes the image may become distorted if for example it's 350x450 so basically no rectangular images.

I'm beginning to set this up. Install went very smooth, however I need both categories AND subcategories, and this doesn't seem to support this which is very surprising to me. I think this definitely has a lot of potential though. Can someone please help me out with creating subcategories?

Is there anyway to use a different paypal address with cartplog rather than the one associated to the forum?

[RPSmedia]

wish there was an option to add shipping or did I miss it?

[Alibass]

Anybody know how to get the shipping option to display on 4.2.2 PL1

Thanks
