Brief Description:
Adds simple inventory management for MODx sites using FoxyCart.com. For use with FoxyCart, standards-based ecommerce, by web designers for web designers.

Nice concept ! Had never heard of it... thanks for bringing FoxyCart to MODx, Brett

I’ll have to check how things work for European customers though, did not see anything about that...

This particular inventory snippet would work for anybody, as it’s not really tied to anything but a few TVs in your MODx install, but we definitely need European beta testers!

More on FoxyCart.com in this MODx forum thread. Please let us know what you want if you’re European.

Ok Brett, nice to know : will do !

In case anybody’s interested, I did a slight hack of this to actually delete documents instead of reduce the count of the inventory TV. It relies on the document ID rather than a code TV, and it doesn’t need an inventory TV either, so it’s a bit easier. Replace the somewhat large block of code (all the way down to the closing } ) with this:

Just make sure you’re using [*id*] (or [+id+] instead of your [*code*] (or [+code+] or whatever) TV in your form and link generation.

Hey All,

Since the XML is generated from a link, I’d suggest escaping the input to prevent sql inject attack.

Just modify each line to include the modx escape function:

Was: $code = $detail->product_code[0]->tagData;

Now: $code = $modx->db->escape($detail->product_code[0]->tagData);

Unless this is being handled on the foxycart side?

The Logging file can quickly get bloated, so I recommend that the code be updated to delete the file before it is created. Here’s my new version:

// ===================================================================================================
// WRITE THE RESULTS TO A FILE ON YOUR SERVER
// ===================================================================================================
if ($myFile) {
if (file_exists($myFile)) {
unlink($myFile);
}
$spacer = "===============\n";
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s") . "\n";
$fh = fopen($myFile, ’a’) or die("can’t open file");
fwrite($fh, $spacer);
fwrite($fh, $order_record);
fwrite($fh, $date);
fwrite($fh, $spacer);
fwrite($fh, $FoxyData_decrypted);
fclose($fh);
}

The XML duplication bug (it repeats for times) is subtracting four times as much inventory.

Is there some way to modify the snippet to only process the first xml?

The XML getting sent 4 times should be fixed at this point. Let me know if it’s still sending extra times for you. Sorry about that.

I was just wondering before I purchase a Foxycart subscription, how easy it would be to create a photography website using maxigallery and integrate foxycart to create an image purchasing system.

I tried to enter this query in the Foxycart forum, but hit a load of blank walls. It would be useful if prospective customers could ask queries without going through a lengthy membership process.

Any help would be appreciated.
