New Site Review Forum - any interest?

[pgmarshall]

All,

I always like to look at what other people have done with osCmax ... which mods they have installed, design ideas, layouts etc. ... and I was wondering if it might be worth having a thread where you can post your site url and ask for feedback/testing etc?

A bit like the welcome to osCmax fourm ... Thoughts?

That is what the introduce yourself forum is for... Start your own thread about yourself, sites, etc. Then just add to your thread when you add new sites, etc.

[pgmarshall]

Okay ... but ...

It is just I have never seen anyone post their site there!

I just thought that it might be useful to people who want to research osCmax and see what is possible to find example sites in one place - a bit like the oscommerce site where you can see the live sites bit.

Happy either way.

Regards,

If we get enough yes votes, I will add a new forum. I think 20 yes votes in your poll would be enough to get me off my butt and make a new forum.

PGM, It sounds like a good idea and I've found some things you've done on cottonbarn.info interesting and I've been studying it a little. Particularly your shopping cart and + and - quantity adjustments among others. I decided to get back on track with my color dropdown that I started 3 years ago after I noticed yours, but I've hit a snag. Did you use the manufacturers option and just change it to color or did you add fields?

[pgmarshall]

JohnW,

I simply changed the manufacturers to colours since I only have one manufacturer ... I did also manage to install a mod called Manufacturers2 which allows you to add multiple 'manufacturers' which you can obviously change to Size, Colour, etc. However, RC4 was then released so I scrapped the site and started again.

The install did work though ... I think it would be a nice addition to the osCmax source code ... perhaps with some admin control (not in current install)

What do you want to do with the shopping cart? I am currently trying to extend the code for this to mimic this site (www.diy.com) with the expand and hide functionality.

The + and - buttons is a couple lines of javascript ... If you want this I will post the code plus some instructions in another thread.

Regards

[JohnW]

I figured that is what you had done with the manufacturers and that's what I was doing, but I realized I would have issues with items that have color choices. I'll check out the manufacturers2 contribution.

Mainly on the shopping cart I like functions without having to press update or the Enter key and the + - functions. The contributions I've seen all have some aspect I want to avoid.

I kind of analyzed your site and quickly tried your + - functions but I must be missing something because it wouldn't work but I did not work at it very long. Is there something besides the javascript?

[pgmarshall]

JohnW,

There is nothing other than javascript for the plus minus code.

It is not my code but the javascript is as follows:

function TextBox_AddToIntValue(targetId,addToValue)
{
    var input = document.getElementById(targetId);
    var textInt = parseInt(input.value);
    if(isNaN(textInt))
    {
        textInt = 0;
    }
    input.value = textInt + addToValue;
    if (input.value <= 0) {
        input.value = 0;
    }
}

and in the product.info.tpl.php page

                <!-- ADDED PLUS AND MINUS BUTTONS PGM -->

                <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/plusminus.js"></script>
                    <td class="main" align="right" width="250">

                                  </tr>
                                  <tr>
                                    <td align="center"><img src="<?php echo DIR_WS_IMAGES .'icons/plus.png' ?>" onclick="TextBox_AddToIntValue('product-quantity-{{product.id}}',+1)" /></td>

</td>
                                  </tr>
                                  <tr>
                                    <td align="center"><img src="<?php echo DIR_WS_IMAGES .'icons/minus.png' ?>" onclick="TextBox_AddToIntValue('product-quantity-{{product.id}}',-1)" /></td>
                                  </tr>
                              </table>

Hopefully this works for you.

There are a couple glitches in that html but even with that corrected It doesn't work for me, but I'm pretty sure it's due to my application_top being different from yours. I had experimenting with a drop down menu for qty in the past year which worked but i forgot about. Then when I went back to it on current version oscmax it didn't work. Is your application_top current? Look around line 422 and tell me if yours is like this

// customer adds a product from the products page
// BOF: MOD - QT Pro
//    case 'add_product' :    if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']) && is_numeric($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'])) {
//                              $cart->add_cart($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']))+1, $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']);
      case 'add_product' :    if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']) && is_numeric($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']==(int)$HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'])) {
        $attributes=array();
        if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['attrcomb']) && (preg_match("/^d{1,10}-d{1,10}(,d{1,10}-d{1,10})*$/",$HTTP_POST_VARS['attrcomb']))) {
          $attrlist=explode(',',$HTTP_POST_VARS['attrcomb']);
          foreach ($attrlist as $attr) {
            list($oid, $oval)=explode('-',$attr);
            if (is_numeric($oid) && $oid==(int)$oid && is_numeric($oval) && $oval==(int)$oval)
              $attributes[$oid]=$oval;
          }
        }
        if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['id']) && is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS['id'])) {
          foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS['id'] as $key=>$val) {
            if (is_numeric($key) && $key==(int)$key && is_numeric($val) && $val==(int)$val)
              $attributes=$attributes + $HTTP_POST_VARS['id'];
          }
        }
        $cart->add_cart($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $attributes))+1, $attributes);
