Hi all, I just installed PHPWS 10.0 with no major difficulties, aside from your typical mental straining.

Now I get to figure out how everything (works) ties in together... and see if I can tweak it some without breaking anything. I suppose I should read up on all the rest of the documentation now. I installed all the modules that were included with the download and toyed around with the layout just slightly... One thing has me confused is why the initial install has TWO menus...

Anyway, is anyone using this Kcart module?

We use KCart/PayPal at stcpmc.org to provide an online payment option for our members. Our use of it is for conference and meeting registrations, not for product sales.

I don't know if I'm using it to it's full capability, however, because I'd like to know how to get the payment links next to each item on the page, rather than grouped together at the bottom of the page.

I swear I posted this yesterday, but now looking for responses, I don't see my original question, which is:

Is there any documentation (how to) use KCart? I have the mod installed, I created some items to sell, but now I don't see how to actually sell stuff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thomas

You have to attach the products to a page by entering the IDs of the pages into the last field of the product details.

aha! Thanks for the info, singletrack!

Just the page id #, (e.g., 12), right? Not the entire URL?

--update: that doesn't change the page at all. Anything else?

tried following the advice

Hey guys,
I can't get the kacart products to show up either using the page ID's. Has anyone solved this?
Thanks,
Chris

Make sure each page id is seperated by a :. For instance, page two would be:

:2:

or page 2, 3 and 5 would be:

:2:3:5:

I too am looking for more documentation. So far I've found the docs directory in the distrubution tarball, and also the online help (the ? image you can click on in various parts of the kcart control panel), but those seem a bit lacking. There is a two "image URL"'s you can set on each item, however these images don't seem to display anywhere. I'd like each item to have a link to a image and maybe a detailed description, but can't seem to figure out how to do that. I'd appreciate any pointers.

Heh, the link to the large URL doesn't show up until after you put in a working link to the thumbnail pic.

You can now use kcart and get instant payment notification through PayPal IPN service.

Just purchase the updated kcart_paypal module from www.StrataGemLLC.com. It logs all completed PayPal transactions and can be easily modified to perform automated tasks when successful payments are completed.

I don't need my customers to pay, the shop works, but I don't know how to create a form the users can fill in their name and adresss...

I've installed the paypal module, and everything LOOKS right, however... If I use the "buy now" button, it works great, but when I enable the full cart service, when a user goes to check out and is transfered to paypal's site, paypal says the cart is empty.

How can I troubleshoot this? I don't really know where to begin.

this one was tough. it took me several hours, but now i have it figured out. go to control panel> webpages > view the page you want the product to appear on. look at the url at the top of the page... mine says http://www.dropya.com/www/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=2
see at the end PAGE_id=2
all I entered was :2: and it works now! yay. anyone@psi-isp.com

You can also pull up a page of the products without creating a new page with .../index.php?module=:20:

20 is whatever you name it when creating the product....doesn't necessarily have to be a page id.

Hi - I list items for sale in the KCart but they do not stay in order that I enter them. My product codes follow on from each other but that makes no difference. The item desriptions on each page are pretty similar but I do not see that they are getting shuffled alphabetically. I have tried changing the code on an item which ends up in the middle of the page but makes no difference. Deleted it and re-entered with different code but still comes in the middle. Anyone know how the entries are listed in the Cart - what determines where an item ends up in the list of items??

$products_result = $GLOBALS['core']->sqlSelect ("mod_kcart_products",NULL,NULL,"product_code asc");

This enables you to order the products alphabetically using the product ID.
product_code could be replaced by product_description.
