ModX newbie asks for help with Shopkeeper installation

What version of Shopkeeper are you installing and how far through the documentation did you get? I’ve gotten it to install ... and changed all the Russian to English as well.

Well, I tried to install several different Shopkeeper installations, including the latest. I did not get very far, clearly, as I have problems with getting the module up and running. Simply, I follow the documentation trough the installation notes, nut when I paste the module code to the modx window and try to save it, I am getting this 500 error. I tried everything that was suggested in this topic, but without any changes. Maybe I am missing something obvious... Could anybody here point me to the simple functional flat shopping cart for modx? Without payment and such complications? Only button for putting the object into to the cart, the textual cart with prices and product info listed, with the option that the visitor sends wanted products to the cart, and after enters his/hers e-mail on which the cart would sent an notification e-mail (also the copy to the my e-mail). I am searching for something like this: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,18275.0.html

I can not get this to work either...

Big thanks to everybody for helping...

See foxycart http://www.google.se/search?hl=en&q=foxycart%2Bmodx

Just noticed this... sounds to me like the problem might be here http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/What_is_mod_security_and_how_does_it_affect_me

Tried, not helping... But I managed to find what part of the code is causing an error... I will paste it here:

$headHtml .= "
});
var lang = ’$lang’;
var cartType = ’$cartType’;
var goodsGroup = $goodsGroup;
var currency = ’$currency’;
var delItemBut = ’$delItemBut’;
var noCounter = $noCounter;
var orderFormPage = ’[~".$orderFormPage."~]’;
var gotoid = ’[~".$gotoid."~]’;
</script>
";

This </script> tag is causing the whole thing. I just cant figure out is here by mistake, or it has some function. I can not locate the opening <script> tag... Should I place it somewhere?

Hi,

may or may not help you. It contains links to an edited version of Shopkeeper (Russian -> English) and notes I kept for myself on how to get the demo site up and running. I seem to recall there being a glitch somewhere with the "lang" variable.

Hi,

In fact, all I need is some kind of add on, a simple module to act like a very, very simple cart. I need to have a button "put in cart" below the product description, and a cart which will contain the product titles, amount and prices, and that the cart can after entering the email address and personal data send an e-mail with a info of the product in the cart to me and to the costumer. I do not need the payment options. It would be like an simple cart only for offerings. Is there someone really, really nice to recommend me some good solution which would function like this? Cause I only found the Shopkeeper, but it seems I can not install it...

I know the thread is old, but if you need a simple cart like the one you describe, you can use TreasureChest from Scotty. It’s installation is straightforward.
Setting up the product pages requires a little more work, but is not so dificult.
Note that TreasureChest currently only works with PayPal payments standard.

Type "Terry notes on TreasureChest" in a search engine and you’ll find a useful Word document to get started.
Terry also put a demo cart on his site.

Regards.

btw. the current release of Shopkeeper 0.9 http://modxcms.com/extras/package/527 got english ducumentation included which will let you install it easily - lots of new features and improvements + the developers are actively developing it

Whats new in Shopkeeper 0.9:
1. Made extender for Ditto, which allows you to create widgets for additional parameters goods.
2. Shopping cart works with the disabled in the browser JavaScript (in part).
3. Now the selected products are stored in the session, but not in a cookie.
4. Made record count of goods in stock.
5. Make a pattern (chunks) to the shopping cart. Now almost everything can be changed and customized.
6. Product price, taking into account the default settings displayed when the page loads.
7. Made possible to change the price when you change settings without an index plus.
8. Made possible to integrate with payment systems.
9. Translated documentation and examples chunk in English (in part).
10. Fixed known bugs.

i think it’s the most promising MODx e-commerce solution

Yes, Shopkeepers looks promising a lot. At least from what I saw from the frontend.
There is an online demo here: http://www.kunane.com/modx/shopkeeper.html

I wonder if one can avoid all the fields at the bottom as some informations can be retrieved from services like PayPal.
Filling fields takes time and can reduce the conversion rate.

I was unfortunately unable to install Shopkeeper yet.
The installation notes that comes with it sounded a bit confuse to me, although not a MODx novice.

In the files that I downloaded from the repository, the comments in the code suffered from some encoding problem.

Hi,
Where did you run into issues? I’ve gotten an earlier version as well 0.9 up and running (well, sortof - I think I’ve got an issue with some options). I’d like to see steps for reproducing the demos. I went through the videos for the older version, but the notes I took aren’t real friendly. Maybe I should rewrite them...
