Shopping Cart Template general questions

jacekq author

Hi,
I'm preparing to buy Shopping cart template so I've few questions:

  1. How to define cash on delivery as a payment method? Is it possible at all? Some of customers in our country prefer to pay that way...
  2. Is it possible to have a category tree on end-user website? On the DEMO page it looks like one-level list...
  3. Is it possible to add manufacturers list/selecting on end-user website? For example under the Catalog
  4. Is it possible to change end-user website template easy? Do you have detail documentation to it?
  5. Is it possible to add my own tables? To keep decription of a shop, company etc.
  6. What about promotions and news for products? Usually all shop scripts present Promotions and New Products independently of Catalog.
    Regards,

    Jacek

Jacek,
please see my answers below:

  1. you can add new payment method to the corresponding table manually and then process it in the Before add event on the Events tab or use Check payment as base for "cash on delivery" payment type.
    2, 3. category menu on the inventory page is created in the custom event. You can modify it as you want: for example add sub-menus, create new menu based on the manufacturers, etc.
  2. unfortunately there is no easy way to change layout for shopping cart template. You can modify pages on the Visual Editor tab only.
    5, 6. yes, you can add other tables or new fields to the existing tables in the shopping cart project. For example you can add new field (NewStatus) to the inventory table, and then sort all products using this field (new products at the top).
    In general all these changes require some custom code in the events. You should be familiar with PHP for that.
