Shop and CASH/ACTIONS mod released

These are in portal settings under ACTIONS and SHOP.

ACTIONS is a portal that allows XPROFILE fields to be added to and other things when things happen on the forum.

SHOP is a portal that allows a virtual or real ecommerce shop to be set up.
admin (no pm's please)

A quick note on this, there does appear to be an issue with currency field character set between the office and live server and probably other issues will be there initially as well.

Over the next day or two the myff shop will be converted to use this shop system and that will in a large measure iron out the issues.
admin (no pm's please)

I have made the currency selectable from a list, which means if people need a currency we have not got I will have to be asked to add it.

the problem was that the system does not cope at all well with the fact that currency need html special characters to display with all character sets, attempts to put the special characters in the system free hand gives rise to the scenaria where it sets correctly one, then shows in its translated form in the input field when the field is shown again, and thus if you save again you lose the correct definition
Andrew(AP)

Are we able to make it so it shows the cash or points or what ever you are gonna call it, in your profile or viewtopic_body.tpl ? Because i can't find where it tells us how or on the SHOPS and ACTIONS portal, i can't see where it he a yes or no to show it places or what.
admin (no pm's please)

If your currency is CASH then create an XPROFILE field called CASH, then you can make it show.
Andrew(AP)

oh, hehe, i knew that. Thanks for your help. And one more thing, I have been playing around with it, trying to get one going, and i got 2 items so far and i tried to buy one but it says "I'm sorry, but it appears that you forgot to fill in a required field."

when i click on Submit Order, does that mean i need to fill something out in the items i bought or in the portal SHOP or ACTIONS.
admin (no pm's please)

There were a few bugs that if you have been editing cms_shop.tpl you will still have, you may need to reset to the orginal cms_shop.tpl.
Andrew(AP)

I  have never edited my shop.

oh and back to the first question i had, :d.

I had made a xprofile feild named CASH which in the shop portal i have as the Currency Name.
Is there any settings that i need to change in the profile feild CASH? because i can't see any thing.
admin (no pm's please)

How have you set it?
Andrew(AP)

Im not sure if i have the profile settings wrong or the SHOP & ACTIONS portal wrong, so heres all of them.

profile feild

shop

actions


I hope you can see them okay.
admin (no pm's please)

Apart from the fact that I want to try the google checkout facility I would be happy now to make the forum shop the site shop

paypal transactions are using IPN to notify customer and owner of the order with an email which whilst it could be improved is adequate.
admin (no pm's please)

I have declared the new site shop officially open, google checkout is not working for me and seems a lot more limited than paypal anyway (

So I may leave it until someone comes along and really wants it, and then help them with it.
Nick(NR)

May I suggest using the forum template as the web page one is a tad off, I have to say tho whoever made those buttons did an incredible job  
admin (no pm's please)

I was just tweaking a few things, it is looking better now.
Daniel(u1bd2005)

Symon, are you going to be doing a howtodoit on this?

If so, do you know when?

No hurry, its just I want to set up a virtual shop early next year (january sometime) and don't have a clue what to do or where to start.


Edit: Nevermind, silly me, I was just looking at the Actions portal component, I didnt know there was a Shop one, no wonder it didn't make any sense, mustn't have seen that before.

Think I should be able to manage it now.

Either way, you need to be patient, guides take time to write correctly in an understandable way, as well as the time to obtain images to help aid the guide in ease of use, I'm sure when Symon finds time around his life bearing in mind 7 kids to shop for being xmas soon, he will do a howtodoit.
admin (no pm's please)

Bear in mind as well that Symon has I'm sire better things to do that constantly rewrite guides.

Let the advanced users make the running and let things settle down.

There have been a dozen or more changes since Monday!

Also Symon will in part base guides like this on the guides I will write, and I have not written one yet.

Ok, No problem, and wow 7 kids? Im one of 7 (5 sisters, 1 brother and me   )
I think I've figured it out now anyway.

Is 20 items the maximum you can have in the shop as that is all the space there is. (i probably wont use 20 but i was just wondering)
Nick(NR)

Test the limits to see if things break then report the error exactly to admin to check on?

He'll need to find out how it can cope eventually, why not now while people are testing it out?
admin (no pm's please)

It is 20 for now.

It could of course be made more, but then again it could have stock control, order tracking, categories and a load of other things a big shopping cart system would have.

My experience on downsizer.net with a lot of small traders is that those facilities are simply not needed.

myff is similar, we have perhaps a dozen things we might ever sell.

Exactly why i have not done one yet, As Admin says i sometimes on hacks like this take heed of what Admin has written and incorporate it into one of my guides, as as this is very new lets iron out the creases before the guide is written , or i,ll be rewriting it every day or so.
And as nick has pointed out i have a lot of prezzies to but for this year.
Daniel(u1bd2005)

Just wondering, shouldn't there be a disclaimer saying that Myfreeforum aren't responsible for any goods not sent, etc, on the forum shops.

Just incase someone tries scamming people setting up a real shop and when the payment has been processed via paypal etc. they just might not send the goods.

Without a disclaimer this could all come back to MFF and you could possibly face legal issues, there might be a disclaimer allready, I just cant see one.
admin (no pm's please)

By that token we would need a disclaimer on all forums visible at all times. You can rip people off without a shop as members of a certain forum did find out.

The checkout process is via a payment processor and that provides a clear distance between us and any legal issues.

Will there be a macro to add virtual cash counts to memberlist ? Or is it the same as normal
admin (no pm's please)

Symon wrote:

As virtual cash is just an XPROFILE field it is available for adding to the memberlist.

This was one of the virtues of doing our own CASH mod, it all integrates together using the same systems as everything else.
Nick(NR)

One tiny thing, you can still get points for posting in an area of the forum that discounts posts, would it be able to discount point for posts made also?

As discounting posts seems pointless if people can still get points in there
admin (no pm's please)

Well there is a way around that, the actions dialog says "all forums but those in list". So stick the forum in the list.
Symon

Guide For CASHMOD only

http://howtodoit.myfreeforum.org/...component=content&topicid=719
admin (no pm's please)

Looking good, but I think it may make heavy weather of what forums the cash mod applies to. The default is now for it to show:

What forums to apply the action to: All but those in list

Which means they just need to enter the id of any test forum where posting should not count.

This is easier that entering all the ids.

thanks for the guide.
Sanura Orine

Does this cash thing have to be for real, or could it be for play, and be like a game to entice posting (or spamming, which on a site where there's only 100 posts in total, is okay) and give virtual stuff, represented by pics in the profile area? Or does it have to be anchored in the stuffy real world of money and commercialism?
Also, does it support old money, like "golds", "silvers", and "coppers"? I'm sort of running a sci-fi fantasy thing.
admin (no pm's please)

Virtual currency is supported, as is the buying and selling of virtual items.



You can call your currency what you you like, but for now at least there is no way to mix currency along the line of 10 coppers makes a silver.
