MODx is crying out for a comprehensive e commerce plugin/solution hereright...and now we’ve got shopkeeper in developement and either people don’t realize the potential, or don’t know about it
How does the transaction occur in the plugin?it’s a module for the backend where you can see incoming orders and flag them corresponding to their order-status. in the frontend it’s a Snippet for the shopping-basket. If an an item has been "shopped", an email will be sent to the customer with the order details ( and one to you ) + the order will be displayed in the module
"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.that’s great - thanks!
I don’t know if new threads get started for each version or not. I’ve installed the new version just to see if I could get it to work and my old instructions seem to work (btw, I’m not kidding when I say they need to be cleaned up).did you download this version? http://modxcms.com/extras/package/527 and checked the english documentation?
The other thing I don’t know about is how payment via a gateway like Paypal could be incorporated. I think there’s something called PCI compliance that comes into play.this is not implemented yet, but as far as i understood Andchir, it will be (or could) done in future:
There is a possibility of connection of payment systems. Documentation is not yet fully translated into English
To connect the system of payment (receipts and statements, etc.) can make an additional snippet, which may use session variables that are created after you submit your order:
$_SESSION['shk_order_id'] - ID Order in a database; $_SESSION['shk_payment_method'] - chosen method of payment (list with name="payment" ); $_SESSION['shk_order_price'] - Total price; $_SESSION['shk_currency'] - currency; $_SESSION['shk_order_user_id'] - ID Users (if not registered = 0)
Anyway, just a couple of thoughts. If I can help further on this, toss out the suggestions.same here
let’s see where it goes and/or who else jumps in to help kick it off
) is to see an English tutorial on how the demo site got set up. There’s enough that is new (e.g. the SHKwidget, the tie in to logged in customers) that I need to be looking over someone’s shoulder in order to appreciate better what can and can’t be done.
