Shop and Cart Made Simple Modules released

[Duketown]

It's a fact. Today the first version of Shop Made Simple has been released. In combination with the Cart Made Simple, you will be able to put e-commerce functionality to your CMS Made Simple website.
Both modules have been build from the ground up in the style that you are used to.

Go ahead, get the latest files from:

• CartMS: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/?group_id=192
• ShopMS: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/?group_id=190

Please leave comments on the forum page (of the project) of one of the modules.

solarman:

shopmadesimple requires the frontendusers module

cartmadesimple requires both frontendusers and shopmadesimple.

install feu first, then shopmadesimple, then cartmadesimple

Thanks the interesting thing is it would not work and then when I restarted the server it works just fine.
Now how to set it up for Paypal anyone

congrats on getting this out. I look forward to playing with it, I just wish I wasn't up to my eyes in another project and had the time right now....

Looking very promising  Started right away playing with it on a new install on my server playground.

I might very very well missing something (visiting a 9 hour dj set will tend to do that to me but when a user is logged in how do I populate the checkout form with the users pre registered information.

Please mod this post out if it's a stupid question

jack4ya,

After the 9 hours break-a-way from CMSMS you are remarkably clear. The thing you are looking for is one of the issues I still have work to do. I'm still thinking about how to make a a correct connection between what an enrigesterd user has already entered and how Cart MS is made aware where to look.
For example, if you currently ask a person that is entering as a user a mail address. It is 99 out of 100 times not in the fields that I have defined in the Cart MS group within FEU. But it would be a shame if the user has to enter that email address again. So maybe you have an idea how I would map the currently available fields to the fields needed in the software of Cart MS. Without to much of a hastle of course

Congrats!
I've been looking forward to that module for quite a while.
I'll get back with some feedback today or tomorrow!

Many thanks again!

duketown,

i installed and clicked through the shopmadesimple module. great work, however, here are some comments/questions:
- how do i define the templates?
- what are the parameters that may be used with this module?
- can I show a given category only on a given page? (i.e. is there a parameter for category showing)

10x in advance!

Hi,

I installed FEU first and then installed ShopMadeSimple. When I went in, on every page I get

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in w:\xxxxx\yyyyyy\zzzzzzz\modules\ShopMadeSimple\ShopMadeSimple.api.php on line 13

Also, nothing shows up when I click on either the Product Types and Templates tabs.  When I tried to click on help in ShopMadeSimple there is nothing, unlike the detailed notes I found in CartMadeSimple.

Is my xml corrupted? I downloaded it using the link provided above.

Looking forward very much to implement a shopping cart on my web site. Any help much appreciated.

jd:
template linking will follow later.
currently no parameters just use "{cms_module module='ShopMadeSimple'}". A list of available categories in the root will be shown. Selecting one will show products in that category. It is not yet possible to show all products based upon a parameter category.

geediu:
Sorry, I've never seen such a thing. However if you have an option to for example install the xml localy and then use FTP to your site of the module contents. It helped me once (after that 'incident' I never install using XML anymore, but this is not relavent sorry).

For all: next version will contain handling of VAT per product, weight per product.
Note: don't use the ShopMS preference 'Shop Policy': it will be removed from next version. It doesn't make any sense to have it their, since it is better to use a regular page or a content block. Your warned

If this works well- and based on what I have seen so far from this site it will, I will happily donate to your project as I said I would ina  previous post.

Good work, and excellent job.

I've been trying to install this and get it running for the past 5 or 6 hours and made about 5 fresh installs in all the different ways i could think of.

I also got the same error on one of the installs and seem to be getting another error now frontend and backend:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. in /home/.hepzibah/blabla/blabla/modules/ShopMadeSimple/library/categories.api.php on line 135

Also how do i find out where products are being displayed on the frontend?
Maybe you could release some installation doc's to make it easier for people?

[Duketown]

Hi,

For those people having problems that have to do with an error message: Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated;. This is caused by the function that builds up the path of the categories (while performing a recursive call). This has also to do with the version of PHP your software is running on. I'm not quite sure from which version this problem is caused.
My PHP version is at 5.2.4.
alex0r/geediu please state the PHP version you are using.

Using the mentioned "{cms_module module='ShopMadeSimple'}", a list of available categories in the root will be shown. Selecting one will produce a list of products in the same pages as you are currently viewing.

PHP Version 5.2.3

i'll get the newest build and see if that fixes the problem
