TreasureChest: MODx eCommerce solution.

Quote from: quantikev at Mar 26, 2008, 05:24 PM

Ok, I now have a working MODx based treasurechest store here if your interested in taking a look.

Now, How can I make the ’cart icon’ at the top right of that page show the cart in a similar manner to what happens when the ’view cart’ link in TreasureChest is clicked?

Thank you,
Kevin

I think try this as the href for that anchor tag:

and give the anchor a class of "thickbox"

After creating a category based store similar to your demo, I realized the ’add to cart’ feature was still not working.

I inserted the html ’add to cart’ code generated by treasurechest into the summary field of the individual product.
I placed the [+introtext+] placeholder into the ditto chunk template, and called it with ditto on the category page.

I then realized your store demo page also contained the javascript in the head section for the cart.

So did you also have to add this code manually? Or did I miss another step (like including the thumbnail image) which would have called the code automatically?

<script type="text/javascript">var MODX_MEDIA_PATH = "media";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">var cart_doc = "index.php?id=5";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/snippets/treasure_chest/script/treasurechest.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/snippets/treasure_chest/style/thickbox.css" />


I appreciate it,
Kevin

@kevin, if you using Ditto, like in the demo site, you’ll need to use [+introtext+] Vs. [*introtext*] that’s global for modx whenever u use Ditto.

also for the Javascript use [[treasureChest? &service=`global`]] in the template header.
you can learn about this service here:
http://www.treasurechestcart.com/documentation/parameters.html

(use &service=`global` and not &service=`pdt` as in the example code, i think its a typo)

Dr. Scotty Delicious what do I need to change to have the links add/empty cart link visible at all times on the page whether its empty or not.?
also can u share the uncompressed version of the js?

Thank you sinbad - I seem to have ’omitted’ that part from my memory when I read the docs.

I’ve another question re: treasurechest placeholders & ditto TV’s:

In your Store Demo, you copied HTML directly from the product page (for add to cart & thumbnail). Is there anyway to use placeholders instead of the HTML? Either through the introtext, tv’s, or another way?

Screenshot attchd.

Thanks again for all the help!

Its not my demo store, it’s scotty’s, I’m just using this sweet tool of his. I don’t think you can use placeholders in ditto call with this version of TC, I tried that to before I found the HTML way. I think every modx user prefer placeholders you know maybe scotty will make it for next version if we ask nice.

but I think if it’s not in ditto placeholders should work for you.

Hi all,

From what I have seen from the demo TC is perfect for what I need, I am 90% through setting up my site to use TC, the one thing I am having problems with is the cart, I can’t seem to get it to display. I get a browser alert box (empty message) on clicking the add to cart button.

I am looking over again at the parameters, seeing if I can figure it out, also this thread which seems to be very useful.

Thanks

Lee if you kept everything default, and didn’t try it yet, you’ll need to have <div class="treasure_cart">&nbsp;</div> somewhere on the page where you want the cart to be shown.

Hi Sinbad,

Got that in the main template now, just to be 100% sure it is there, still no joy

p.s. don’t suppose I could email you a link, really lost as to what else to try, everything is in place, loading the TC js file fine, all config in place, chunks etc.... still not working.

Lee I’m not the the developer, but if you want i don’t mind taking a look. sometimes a second eye can notice something one missed.
PM me the login if you want and I’ll see if I can find the issue.
