PHPRunner General questions

PayPal, Oscommerce, and Agora are offered by my web provider of choice. Does any one have experience using any of these with phpRunner?

Ideally what I want is an editable "Quantity" textbox and "Add to Cart" checkbox on the Product List page. Is this possible?

Hi,
this task can be accomplished using some custom PHP script.

To integrate PayPal add new form on the page on the Visual Editor tab.

Here is a sample:

<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; method="post" target="_blank">

<input name="submit" type="image" src="https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=15714&image=1&table=forumreplies"; alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" align="right" border="0" >

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="paypalform">

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="test@test.com">

<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="your_item">

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1.99">

<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.test.com/failed.php">;

<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.test.com/success.php">;

<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.test.com/ipn_paypal.php">;

<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="35">

<input type="hidden" name="image_url" value="https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=15714&image=2&table=forumreplies">;

</form>



Then you need to pass all your values to this form and submit it.
Unfortunately we don't have a ready to go solution for this.

Thanks, Jane, that's very helpful! Although we have used PayPal, I am leaning towards integration with the osCommerce shopping cart which we also have available and would perfer because of its Authorize.net integration. Since osCommerce claims to be php (4) compliant, I am expecting that I would be able to do something similar with the osCommerce cart. Any help you can provide with that would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having good results with NOPcart.

OsCommerce is a great tool for shopping carts. It has it's own database and there is no need to integrate it with PHPRunner.

Unfortunately OsCommerce needs some experience to setup and to customise it - it's not an easy task. We took some time to manage the integration into a existing website.
It has it's own admin side but experience is needed to handle it. We do customisation for our clients and integrate it with the pay options they require. It's a great shopping cart however and has many great features.
My suggestion:

  1. Take some time to learn how to setup and use it. They have a great support site as well. (Not as good as PHPRunner, of course)
  2. Get someone to setup, design and impliment it on your behalf, if you don't have the time or experience.
    If you need something basic for online shopping - hold on - PHPRunner has some plans for the new release coming soon.

    If you need something more advance, spend some time learning OsCommerce.

Final version of PHPRunner 4.0 will feature E-commerce template tied to PayPal shopping cart.

I am VERY fond of the early version of PHP Runner, 3.0. It has worked almost flawlessly up to this point and I am reluctant to upgrade. I tried going to 3.11 once and had disastrous results. However, as time has gone on, I see the need for shopping cart integration with Pay Pal. Has this been implemente into 4.0 as of yet>

Sergey Kornilov admin 6/12/2007

Yes, it comes in form of PayPal template.
