Announcement: New module PayPalButtonMaker

[JeremyBASS]

Hello, well it's not ready a new module but I never did an announcement for it, and so I never have gotten much feedback..

So you can find it here.. http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/project/files/721

What it does is let you the user take control over paypal... how the cart looks: color, imagess notes etc... hook a UDT in to email of log or what have you...  or best of all!!!! use smarty in the inputs...

So now you can have a "Buy now" for +1000's products from any mod; Products, Cataloger, or any new one that comes along...

Need more?  Well it internalizes the form if you want too so no monkeying around with the form... set one button for all products or one button for each...

Act now and I'll throw in that you don't need to ask you client for the password... just the username!

Inline Tiptool help, inline colorwheel color pickers, um um... oh there is tons... I'm hoping to have a v1.0 soon and it is still an as is release but yeah... Let me know what you think...

Cheers
Jeremy

Hey Jeremy

This is a great module!
I am using the Cataloger and your cool module as an e-commerce tool

I have one question though. How do I send the price and item desc to the button ?

I think it should pass  something like that :
{cms_module module=PayPalButtonMaker Mode="default"  price="{$price}"  Btn="AuthorDonate"}

How do you  work in receiver  mode ?  What will be  the UDT code like ?

I have installed the module and it works great, but  when go to PayPal there is no price and Item Description.

Please help.

Hello there, this is what you want to do... add a new button... (make sure you have turned on the smarty field handling in the button options) then fill in the fills with things like {$price} {$Description} where it applies... then add

{cms_module module=PayPalButtonMaker Mode="default"  Btn="you_new_button"}     

to your templates...  that should be all you need. you can define all the buttons one by one too if you like.. ie not using the {$price} but using $1.00 or nothing if you want to have the user add the price.

As far as the UDT code, look to the UDT area and you should see a new one call PPBM_email... this shows you the CMSMailer tie in...

For the receiver, just place it where you want to have the user come back from paypal, ( make sure to set that path in the options) and just put {cms_module module=PayPalButtonMaker Mode="receiver"}

I have been working on the module and I'm going to be making some more changes, so may-be if I get time I can put in some more help stuff like in the wiki...

Hope this helps,
Cheers

Version 0.6 is out.. the subscript buttons now handle all the parts you need.  Some bug fixes in the visuals, using a CDN for the js for faster loads.  Forms now reacts to the type of button you choose now hiding and clearing the values of the un-needed fields of the selected button type.

Lots of improvements so enjoy.
Cheers

No it's a feature that I need to add..  I just have not had time to do so.. it's on the road map... I just need to pay the bills first...but with the smarty processing you can just use one button for all as the buy now. Thanks for the words Cheers -Jeremy
