Bakery: Small Shop Module (ORIGINAL TOPIC)

[snark]

Hi All

I'm currently configuring Bakery for my wife's fabric business. Most of the items she sells are sold by length rather than as an individual item, so for example a customer may wish to buy 6m of a specific fabric that's priced at say £5 per half metre.

At the moment we can obviously ask customers to add multiples of the product to buy larger sizes but if for the example above, if a customer wants 6m they have to add "12" to their cart. Its not rocket science but not entirely intuitive so I'd prefer it if I could change it to suit. Is there an area of code I can edit to change the "Number of Items" display into a dropdown list of say 0.5m,1m,1.5m etc so the amount of fabric required can be directly chosen?

thanks in advance

with the option value you can create options for

1m + an 'extra price'
2m + an 'extra price'
3m + an 'extra price'
4m + an 'extra price'
etc +

that way people will have a dropdownmenu with the 'size' to order ...

you can even add an extra field for color ...

I want to make the phone number 'NOT' to be compulsory, it can stay but just is nog necessary to fill it in.

where do I have to change the files?

Thanks Snoork, I did consider using the options dropdowns but the big downside is that for every material she needs to add in say 10 prices (for each 0.5m increment 0.5m-5m). With 20-30 different items obviously thats adds up to quite a bit of admin, especially if a bulk price change is required!

Hi all

@ Locoblade
Replace in the "Layout Settings" the input field by a select (http://www.bakery-shop.ch/#default_item_quantity). Set something like:

Code: [Select]

<select name="item[ITEM_ID]">
    <option value="0.5">0.5</option>
    <option value="1">1.0</option>
    <option value="1.5">1.5</option>
    <option value="2">2.0</option>
    ....
</select>

@snoork
Make the phone number optional by replacing in the file view.php

Code: [Select]

// Check for blank fields
foreach ($_POST as $field => $value) {
if ($value == "") {
$blanks[] = $field;
}
}
by

Code: [Select]

// Check for blank fields
foreach ($_POST as $field => $value) {
if ($value == '' AND $field != 'cust_phone') {  // Phone optional
$blanks[] = $field;
}
}

and replace in the same file

Code: [Select]

if (eregi("phone",$field)) {
if (!ereg("^[0-9)(xX +.-]{7,20}$",$value)) {
$error_bg[] = $field;
$errors[] = htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES)." ".$MOD_BAKERY['ERR_INVAL_PHONE'];
}
}
by

Code: [Select]

if (eregi("phone",$field)) {
if(!ereg("^[0-9)(xX +.-]{0,20}$",$value)) {  // Phone optional
$error_bg[] = $field;
$errors[] = htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES)." ".$MOD_BAKERY['ERR_INVAL_PHONE'];
}
}

Many thanks Christoph, that's brilliant. What I've put in seems to work fine on the item detail pages but the same doesn't on the overview. When clicking Add to Cart on the overview, nothing happens, any idea why?

this is my overview (Product Loop) code:

Code: [Select]

<td class="mod_bakery_main_td_f">
[THUMB]
<br />
<a href="[LINK]"><span class="mod_bakery_main_title_f">[TITLE]</span></a>
<br />
[TXT_PRICE]: [CURRENCY] [PRICE]
<br />
<select name="item[ITEM_ID]">
    <option value="1">0.5m</option>
    <option value="2">1m</option>
    <option value="3">1.5m</option>
    <option value="4">2m</option>
    <option value="5">2.5m</option>
    <option value="6">3m</option>
    <option value="7">3.5m</option>
    <option value="8">4m</option>
    <option value="9">4.5m</option>
    <option value="10">5m</option>    ....
</select>
<input type="submit" name="add_to_cart" class="mod_bakery_bt_add_f" value="[ADD_TO_CART]" />
</td>
</form>
</td>

cheers

Also, do you how I can get the cart to display say 3m rather than "6" in the quantity column, Ive had a look inside the mini_cart.php but I can't see anything obvious?

thanks

Complex question?

The following problem came up with one of our WB shops:

- there are 5 products in the shop
- 3 products have different shipping costs for national and international sending
- 2 products have no shipping costs at all

After taking a close look at the settings the only solution I came up with that this is not possible to configure the above data in the shop!

Anyone who thinks he/she has the solution...

Anyone?

Hi.

Is there a way to limit the characters numbers that user can add to short and long description for a product ?

I'm see that product listing lost align if one product have more text lines than other

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys

Is there a way to offer a voucher/discount code during checkout, so for example we can advertise on websites offering a 5% off voucher code, so customers visiting from that advert add in a code (e.g. "SUMMER5" or "FREEPOST") that which will automatically remove 5% or free postage etc when checking out?

thanks
Chris

Hi folks.

I'm trying to setup a multilanguage (spanish and english) shop. I modified my template using instructions under wbsitebaker help page

On other way I setup "page language" on WebsiteBaker setup.

I have my Spanish shop under http://www.rls-art.es/pages/tienda/bolsos-de-viaje.php and works fine (using multiple menu)

Now, My english shop is not show me anything (http://www.rls-art.es/pages/shop/travel-bags.php?lang=EN)

How Can I fix this ?

I missed any config ?

I' read the forum but the i'm not clear with the instructions that people are using.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance 

PS: On attach file, i upload an screenshot with site structure

Your menu structure is incorrect.

What you need to do is create a shop underneath each language (and give it it's own language in the page settings)

After that, create a product. Duplicate it directly into the other language, edit the language data and put it on active.

This should do the trick.

1 disadvantage: when buying stuff the email template will only be send 1 language. You can edit the email template in 2 languages (e.g. underneath each other)

If you want to avoid the last step then the only thing left to do is to create another db with WB on it, install the bakery mod, (all in another language) and wrap this thing up into the original store.

Hi boudi.

Thanks for your reply

I modified my setup, and look like the image attached. Now, when I setup a product under travel bags category, cannot see product (under english language)
All products under spanish language works fine.

What do you mean with "create a shop underneath each language"

I have TIENDA shop under ES and SHOP shop under English. TIENDA and SHOP are new pages (bakery type)

Is this that you mean ?

Thanks in advance.



[gelöscht durch Administrator]

[Boudi]

You mean you cannot see the images in the English part? You DO see the images in the English shop in the admin?

otherwise pm me

Hi All.

I have solved the bakery "multilanguage" problem. The issue was caused by anynews error (missing EN language file for this module)

In resume, to take bakery multilanguage, is did the following

1. Use an structure like my lastpost (EN, ES and any other language, following WebsiteBaker multilangiage instructions. Here is neccesary to modify template)
2. Enable  page language on settings
3. Under ES structure, build spanish pages and select Spanish language, on each webpage settings
4. Under EN structure,  build english pages and select English language, on each webpage settings

My shop is under http://www.rls-art.es

Note. Take care with any module error caused for language files (ES.php and EN.php). This can cause that websitebake drop an erro an stop processing template and other modules. Enable Error log to ALL (on settings ) can help to detect it.

Thanks to Boudi for his help

If anyone's interested I've now managed to code this Voucher / Coupon Code functionality into bakery. It gives a Promo Code box at the bottom of the user form submitted during order, then looks up the promo code and applies the relevant discount to the following summary page, as well as modifying the output to the invoices etc so when printing invoice / delivery notes, they also show the correct amounts. Currently the discount options need to be set raw in the database but with a bit more work it should be possible to allow control of the discount codes from within the General Settings page in bakery. Thus far I have 3 options, two are percentage discounts and one gives free postage.

Id be happy to share my modified files or even pass to Christoph for inclusion in the next revision, but I will say that my php coding skills were non existant before embarking on this little project though, so there may well be flaws. It works for me but Im only using Paypal and only using flat rate postage on the above website, so it needs testing over a wider range of options as other combinations of postage /  may not work.

It can be seen in action here: www.minkyfabrics.co .uk , enter "MAY5" as the 5% off promo code then cancel the order when it takes you to Paypal assuming you don't want to actually place an order!

Using something similar to the front end output filter for e-mail addresses, there a way to replace the 3 figure currency reference with a symbol, for example replace "USD" with "$" or "GBP" with "£", so that prices to the customer show as "£5.00" rather than "GBP 5.00"?

If you put the symbol in directly to the bakery admin rather than the official 3 figure currency reference, it shows correctly on the website but then the cart doesn't work as Paypal etc doesn't recognise the currency to use.

thanks

Greetings - I've gone thru the whole 32 pages of this thread and I've search using every term I can think of but haven't been able to find the answer to where to put the PDT token from Paypal into the backend of the Bakery module.

Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place or it is no longer needed? This is what it says  on the Bakery site:

"Copy your identity token and paste it to the "PDT Identity Token" field at Bakeries backend (see "PayPal Settings")."

But I don't see where this goes. Also the 'transaction status', where would these go in the picture I've uploaded?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, and pardon me if I missed finding the answer in my searching.

Hi MeAgain

... but haven't been able to find the answer to where to put the PDT token from Paypal into the backend of the Bakery module.

• Bakery version?
• PayPal payment method version? (=> find it in the bakery/payment_methods/paypal/info.php file)

You might use an old version of the PayPal payment method. Upgrade the plugin by just replacing the full bakery/payment_methods/paypal/ directory by an up to date version (currently v0.4 included in Bakery v1.5.3 and later).

Regards Christoph

[MeAgain]

Thanks for the quick response ppl. I appreciate it.

I am using WebsiteBaker ver2.8 (I may have upgraded to 2.8.1, can't remember and am rushing off to work so can't check) and my was 1.5.3 ? but was upgraded to bakery to v.1.5.4

Is it possible the upgrade didn't go correctly. I uploaded the zip and thought it did what it was supposed to but don't remember the message I got when I did. I can say I didn't get any errors and everything seems to work just fine to where it takes me to paypal with a test CC. That's as far as I've gotten.

Again thanks in advance.

Thanks so much instantflorian and freeSbee. Between your picture and directions I was able to fix it. But in fixing it, things got curiouser and curiouser. Now I am wondering what other pages didn't get updated in the upgrade to 1.5.3 of bakery.

I had installed it by uploading the zip file via Bakery's back end (install module) .Was there something else I should've done after uploading the zip file? Or should the act of uploading it be enough?

As I said, I'm wondering what other files may not have been properly upgraded.

And again thank so much. You were both spot on.

[freeSbee]

Hi MeAgain

If you originally installed Bakery using FTP the upgrade using the WB backend might not have worked out.
In this case delete the full Bakery directory on your server by FTP and replace it by the latest version of Bakery.

Hi there,

I am looking for a way to add three extra fields on the order form (where customers fill in there name and address).
is this possible? If it is, can anyone explain what I have to do to get it right.

Thanks!

i've made some test of the bakery module, is it normal that in the backend when i choose currency code : 978 (for Euro) on the backend when i wand to add an item i see : 978 as unit for the price or the shipping ? it must be show me EUR instead of 978 normally or it's the normal behaviour of the Shop ?
