    I am getting ever closer to publishing the TreaureChest system. I have a little more work to put into the website for it, but here are some more DivX screen casts to get you caught up on the development so far.

      For some reason my video on adding and editing products did not get published. I fixed that this morning. Now all 3 TreasureChest videos are at http://www.stage6.com/TreasureChest .

      They are:
      Install and Configure TreasureChest
      Add items to and Edit items in your TreasureChest
      The TreasureChest Front End

        This looks amazing Scotty... Suprised nobody has even commented on this! Count me in for a donation if you manage to get this released! Is paypal the only gateway for payment that will be available with this? LOOKS SH*T HOT! grin

        Just read the other thread about this which i didn’t see....... answered the question about the payment gateway!

            For now, yes. PayPal is the only supported gateway.
            In future versions I think you can expect to see support for multiple gateways such as Google Checkout.

            One key point I should make here though is that TreasureChest will always be geared toward "the little guy", a.k.a. small business. I don’t see support for large payment gateways (think monthly fees) in the immediate future, but who knows what I might be able to come up with if I can find the time?

              A simple solution is PERFECT for some of my sites as they deal with donations for gaming servers so this looks just right. One off fee for the script and off we go... just what this community needs!

              I have larger ideas in mind for a shopping cart so I’m not sure what to use for that other than Foxycart.

              Thanks Scotty... what’s the ETA on this, I know it’s soon as I read the other thread.

              Another thing, your script uses other plugins or modules and the coding you had shown in the documents, is this all generated for you? I don’t know how to use ditto or jot.......

              Thanks.

                The script is done, I am just putting together a website for it. I am finishing the documentation, sample code for page layouts, CSS tips for the cart, etc... If I were to give a guess on ETA, I would say this coming weekend or sooner.

                This script provides additional system events for the MODx plugin architecture. When a customer makes a purchase, PayPal makes $_POST back to your site (Instant Payment Notification or IPN), which TreasureChest grabs and processes. TreasureChest does a few things by default with this info, such as inserting records into the treasure_chest_sales database table and decrementing the inventory of the product(s) that were sold. If you are a PHP developer and understand how MODx plugins work (they are pretty easy to grasp), you can write a plugin to do additional things with this IPN information.

                No other plugins are shipped with TreasureChest as it is a pretty complete system for most needs, but if you have special things that need to be done post payment, TreasureChest makes it VERY easy to write a simple plugin to do that.

                Ditto and Jot both have excellent documentation, but I will have example pages on the TreasureChest site showing different ways of grouping, cataloging, and displaying products.

                    I have installed it on 3 different servers, just testing it and making sure that functionally, it works the same on all the platforms.
                    For the last few days I have been documenting... documenting... documenting..!

                    I am positive I will be done today. I am also refinishing my basement right now and I need to get 3 doors hung today (got all the drywall taped and mudded last week!), but I am confident I will be posting a link to the download later today.
