Custom TemplatesPosts in the Maian Cart forum by scarr105
scarr105 18-04-2012 20:10:21 David, Do you have a problem with people sharing custom templates on the forum? I was going to share a template I created that will show all items that were sold through your cart to the customer. I didn't want to share if you prohibited stuff like that. I'm not sure if most people would be interested in showing items that sold but we have had lots of users check out the items we have sold. We sell antiques and I think people like looking at the items we sell. scarr105 |
scarr105 19-04-2012 13:48:17 If anyone is interested in a custom template that will show all items sold to your customers, feel free to download this template. My company sells antiques, so our customer wnat to see what we are selling and this template will allow you to do the same. No prices are displayed just an image and description. If you want to see prices there is a line of code you need to uncomment. This template as give the customer the ability to search your sold items. To see a live example check out [url]http://www.talquintradingco.com/storefront/np/sold-items/12/index.html[/url] Download: [url]http://www.talquintradingco.com/downloads/Sold_Item.zip[/url] - updated 7/31/2012 Just unzip file and place the template in the customTemplate folder.

Hi scarr105, I have not have the time to test it cus I been away from home no the road, But as soon as do i will let u know. I was checking out what u have done with your website and the cart script and I like it, I will love to do the same with my cart script. Its that like an include? or there is a lot of coding to make that template (i would like to call it frame) to include the cart script inside? I'm not a coder nor a programmer or anything like that, i just have very basic knowledge. It would probably be a nice idea to be able to have a template selector, kind of thing, like in the admin section or even the main cart script page that would allow the user/admin to chose between different templates, including a mobile template, you know how on this days, all is about the mobiles and all that. Maybe you or David can help. thx BTW I think I saw some where on the website a section for subjections, maybe I'll copy this idea on there. |
MarcAq 23-04-2012 19:06:44 @ David, Can you make an included file version that can work from the outside of the store directory, Instead of using the index file with the actual heather and footer? Thx |
scarr105 23-04-2012 19:55:55 MarcAq wrote:
MarcAq my site is designed with tables and css. So the basics is to edit the templates/header.tpl.php with header code of your website and edit the templates/footer.tpl.php with your footer code. In each one of those files you will see cart php code, so you just need to add your header code before the cart code and the footer code after the php code in the footer page. Hopefully you can understand what I'm talking about but if you have questions let me know. scarr105 |

scarr105 27-04-2012 02:18:43 MarcAq, Can you provide the url to your cart. I'm not sure why the Could Not Connect error message is happening as long as you put the right info in the connection section at the top of the page. As far as the $Page_URL you have right at ?np=12. I may have some code wrong for those stores not set to use Search Friendly URLs. I have found 1 issue with a piece of code will re-post once I have it fixed. This issue should affect the Connection error issue you are having. scarr105 |
scarr105 27-04-2012 02:27:28 Files have been updated. SOLD ITEMS TEMPLATE Download: [url]http://www.talquintradingco.com/downloads/Sold_Item.zip[/url] - updated 4/27/2012 |
scarr105 27-04-2012 13:34:45 MarcAq, Just realized the script will not work if you have Enable Search Engine Friendly URLs: Yes in the general settings. I'm working to fix that now. I've updated the download so you no longer have to edit the connection info, it just uses the connection info from the cart. I updated the code to work with Search Engine friendly URLs being on or off. Also you nolonger have to edit anything in the file. It will get teh connection info form the cart script and will find page url by itself. So you just need to copy the page into the customtemplate folder.

MarcAq 28-04-2012 04:25:30 OK scarr105 my url is xtremehangout.com/store i dont think I had enable the Search Engine friendly URLs because I have not done anything to the cart script, meaning is intact as i installed it on the server. I have not have the time to work on it, This is a e-store Im setting up for my wife so she can sell woman's stuff, but she is not ready as of yet, so im just getting familiar with it, before i take it live. update: i dl ur new updated sold_item and it works perfectly thx scarr105. really appreciate i love how it works. I now have to work on some kind of header and footer lol l get it going sooner or later. thx again Update 2 lol: two thing I noticed, if u uncoment the show price, it dont show the $ sign and if you uncoment the 'Click for Prices', you get a error page. |
scarr105 28-04-2012 12:02:51 MarcAq, Thanks for the update, glad it's working almost (lol). Here is the qiuck fix, I will update the code later this weekend and post an update.
That line for Click to see Prices shouldn't be there, that is part of another script I'm working on and forgot to remove it. |
MarcAq 28-04-2012 18:25:35 Yeap scarr105 that did it. thx again. BTW it would be nice if You or David would post a little tut on how to do add your own header and the footer. ...just a thought lol |
scarr105 30-04-2012 02:25:52 Here is something quick I can share with you. Open templates\header.tpl.php this code goes right after the body tag.
As you can see I left a TD open on my last line, this TD tag will be closed in the footer template. This way the cart is now within the borders of my table. Hope that help a little, at this time I don't have the time to do a full how-to. scarr105 |
MarcAq 30-04-2012 03:56:39 HI scarr105, please excuse my ignorance, I did copy/paste the code u gave me to the header, the only thing I didn't get was, what do I need to add or edit on the footer? do I copy the same code to the footer or what do I do to the footer? |
scarr105 01-05-2012 17:52:41 OK, here is the remaining code for the file HTML/footer-commerical.htm. For the free version this may have to go in another footer file. If I were you I would purchase the commerical version and be done with it. This is a great cart system and worth the money.
That is everything you should need, I hope that helps. scarr105 |
MarcAq 01-05-2012 18:37:37 Sorry for the bother, scarr105 and thx for helping, that should work, no problems. BTW I do have a commerical version license. |
scarr105 01-05-2012 18:40:27 No problem, glad I was able to help. scarr105 |
MarcAq 02-05-2012 04:27:57 Hey scarr105 [url=http://xtremehangout.com/store/]HERE[/url] is what Im working on, still not as I want it, but getting there, If u look, the store, right below the nav buttons, there is a kind of gray background color that i cant get rid off. I want it to be white so it blends with all the other white parts, but I cant find where to change it. BTW remember Im just trying different things to the cart script, so its not live yet. once I get the look im looking for Ill start building the rest. |
scarr105 02-05-2012 11:10:25 Looks good, if you post it live to the Internet maybe I can look a source code and find the issue with that small part. I'll send you a quick email, let work on that off the forum that way we don't clog up this template forum. scarr105 |
