Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Hi,
So I have built a new eCommerce site using Calguys excellent eCommerce suite of modules. I have used the payment gateway RBS World Pay for the first time in this project and it has worked very well so far. The site is new so im sure there are still a number of bugs to squash but the major functions should be working now.

Chris,
A great site! Sitting in my mountain home in Colorado, the website makes me want to start planning my summer climbs with my son, also named Chris.
CMS is a great project. I'm always researching how people are using the various modules. Hope you won't mind a few questions in the future as to how you created a few things on your website. The only thing really lacking with CMS is an area like "CMS Themes" only for modules, where modules in use examples can be viewed by newbies like me.
Great site!

Great site! Clean. simple and elegant all at the same time. Fantastic job.
If you don;t mind me asking, what did you use for the guide search on the right of the home page?

Hi,
Thanks for the nice comments. The 'Course Search' just uses the standard Products search functionality with some development of the template using smarty.

Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Chris - this is an excellent example of what CMS Made Simple can do. It is probably the best implementation of Calguy's ecommerce suite that I've seen. Very clean, well-designed layout, like all of your work.

Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Nicely done!
Your "categories" page doesn't validate very well. It looks like your image tags are ending with a } instead of >. I assume it's just a small issue with one of your smarty tags.
I'm also not a huge fan of all the bold text in the content boxes to the left on the "categories" page. But to each their own

I think this calls for a post in the "Tips and Tricks" board. I know I am a little curious how you accomplished it all.clj83 wrote: The 'Course Search' just uses the standard Products search functionality with some development of the template using smarty.
If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.

Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Really nice site, well done. Do you mind me asking how you included your list of categories in your search?

Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Hi Chris
Fair play, that is an excellent example of CMS Made Simple. This should be highlighted as a great implementation on CMSMS.org somewhere.
Two questions:
1. On a product page (i.e. this one), there are key facts about the day (for example, Location, Price, Start Date, Duration). Is this entire block manually typed in for each page, or is there a more sophisticated field/value method behind this? The reason I ask is because I want to use a similar method for product specifications.
Also, what is the possibility of being able to compare different courses?
2. How did you get the mega drop down to work on the Courses & Guiding nav link at the top?
Thanks for your help

Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Any thoughts on my post above?
Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
What I would like to know is - HOW DID YOU PUT THESE IMAGES IN THE MEGA DROP DOWN?
Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Hi All,
The menu was made using a search form template and then using a custom field, 'Course Type', as the search variable. When you click the appropriate course type you are actually selecting the search submit button. The template looks like this,
The images are just pulled from the gallery module. The user selects which image they want to show with each menu item using a custom field in the gallery module.
Hope that helps.

Code: Select all
{foreach from=$searchprops key='propname' item='obj'}
{foreach from=$obj->options key='key' item='item'}
<div>
{Gallery dir="Menu" template="Course_Menu"}
</div>
<div>
{$formstart}
<div class="hidden">
<select name="{$actionid}cd_propvalue[type]">
<option label="{$key}" value="{$key}">{$key}</option>
</select>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="{$actionid}cd_submit" value="{$key}" />
{$formend}
</div>
</div>
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
Hope that helps.

Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
Ah, too complicated. Thanks!!!
Re: Pure Outdoor eCommerce Site
This is still one of, if not THE best CMSMS site I've seen to date.
I've referred back to it a few times. One thing I've always wondered is how to implement the "X" link for individually removing products from the cart.
Is this accomplished using a custom UDT?
Is there a separate forum post about this somewhere?
Would you be able to share this functionality with me?
Thanks in advance.

You should ask this question in the modules board, not in an old show off thread...
