Support/Comments for Shopkeeper 0.8.5-release

In my original suggestion I also said to use Ditto, which you haven’t.

If you are going to use a chunk like {{shopStuff}}, then you are going to have to edit it to display the content the way you want. Look in that chunk that you have defined, and see if you have price as a TV or a placeholder.

Bwente,

I’m just trying to do this methodically one step at a time.

This is as far as I’ve got

[!Shopkeeper? &clshopToCart =`shop-stuff` &currency=`AUD` ⟨=`en` &orderFormPage=`9` &gotoid=`10`!]

If there’s something else I need to do next then please tell me what it is.

Shopkeeper is a javascript shopping cart. There is a collection of snippets,plugins, and chunks to work with the javascript.

Using chunks are just a shortcut for putting in the elements of the cart.

{{shopCart}} is the chunk intended for being called directly from the page. (template variables)

{{shopStuff}} is the chunk/ditto_template if you are using ditto. (placeholders)

You need to create your checkout page (in your example it is doc 9) you will need to place both a call to shopkeeper and eform on that page. Refer to my earlier example or the instructions that came with shopkeeper.

Really sorry Bwente, but I’m going to have to give up on Shopkeeper.

It just seems unbelievably difficult to understand.

I’ve installed and configured some fairly complicated stuff with eform2db and other plugins previously, but Shopkeeper is proving to be an infuriating enigma.

It’s not your fault I know, maybe I’m just looking at it wrong or maybe something’s getting lost in translation.

Perhaps someone else can try it and let us know how it’s done.

It was difficult to understand at first by reading through the documentation. But by looking through the code and looking at the site it wasn’t that bad. http://wdevblog.net.ru/shopkeeper.html

I did try it, and it works. I thought I explained it well enough. I am sorry but I am not a technical writer. I was just trying to give back to the community the only way I can.

Shopkeeper still needs some work, if you really need an easy to use and through cart, please checkout Foxycart. It should be able to handle most of what you need. And the bonus is that Brett speaks English.

Hi,
Back in mid-June I went through the shopkeeper v0.8.8_beta_1 code and converted all the Russian to English. Also, I took notes from the video tutorials to implement the demo store - again in English. I made these files available to the author and others, but it doesn’t look like they’re surfacing. Soooo...

My version of shopkeeper_0.8.8_beta_1 :

(I realize there’s a later beta, but I haven’t done anything with it).

My notes on doing a full install (including setting up a site in ModX) is here :
http://www.considine.net/mac/shk_notes_en_mattc.txt

These notes aren’t pretty - I wrote them up as I was installing things so that if I screwed something up, I could go
back and try to unscrew it. So they’re step-by-step in the I-hope-I-never-really-need-these-notes sense, not in the what-a-beautiful-tutorial-this-is sense. Caveat emptor...

If someone wants to use them to make a better version, I’d be interested in the results. The ModX community has been very helpful to me in coming up to speed on all this stuff, and I’m just trying to toss something back...
