Add Product Actions to Lesane's Store Hack! · **Released**: 01-30-2003

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!

All I can say is that it is ABOUT time! Sheesh. I will be installing this over the weekend! This matches clearly with my request way back when (located here).

Q) Is there a way you can bypass the address part and simply just send an email with the email only?

Yeah, it would be pretty easy. I was going to attach a variation, but you can probably figure it out yourself. Just take out the form fields in the store_item_address template, and then remove all references to addresses, etc. ($name, $useraddress, etc) from the code chunk...

Let me know if you have any questions....

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
