New Open Source Shopping Cart
I recently released a beta of a new free and open source shopping cart that I have created. It is slim on features, but built to be very easy to customize. For example, you can use externally defined products (even from multiple sources) and it is very easy to add fields to any existing tables. Blog entry: http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/blog/index.cfm/2011/2/8/New-Open-Source-ColdFusion-Shopping-Cart Docs: http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/docs/cart/ RiaForge: http://startercart.riaforge.org/ It runs on my new Neptune framework, so that is required to use it. http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/docs/neptune/ http://neptune.riaforge.org/ I look forward to any feedback.

Am I looking for a shopping cart? Or just SQL design pattern?
I've inherited a site at a customer and the previous (several) people working on this code did them no favors. For example, it's an e-commerce site and the table that records sales keeps track of the user id and the amount paid but not what product was bought or the form of payment. There actually IS a record of what the user bought but it's stored in their user record which is overwritten with each purchase so any history is lost. In addition, the site has discount-codes (coupons) but those are stored with the user, not the transaction so history is lost there too. In addition, I've noticed that discount codes are re-usable and can be edited without saving history so if you change the discount amount for future sales, running a historical report for sales involving that discount code are now bogus. I've been asked to fix this. I wonder if there is a standard pattern for the schema here since it must have been done a million times by now. I have never used an off-the-shelf shopping cart package either - I have always assumed that those are more about maintaining sessions/carts and interacting with payment gateways but it occurs to me that maybe they include the schema design I'm thinking of that allows proper accounting audit trails, etc. Any advice? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341972 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Am I looking for a shopping cart? Or just SQL design pattern?
Dave, eCommerce sites can be a bear to tackle as the requirements seem to always grow. I have used SiteDirector from QuillDesign (http://quilldesign.com) for several sites and it is a great affordable application that can be fully customized. I would imagine for the time it would take to fix your application you could purchase SiteDirector which would handle all your issues plus give you more functionality. Hope that helps.

Re: Am I looking for a shopping cart? Or just SQL design pattern?
this is all about normalization, there's a relationship between the user, the order and what was bought in the order. You'll have a one to many relationship between users and orders(a user can have multiple orders but an order can't have multiple users) and a many to many relationship between products and orders (an order can have multiple products and products can be in multiple orders) On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 9:34 AM, Dave Burns cft...@burnsorama.com wrote: I've inherited a site at a customer and the previous (several) people working on this code did them no favors.

Re: Am I looking for a shopping cart? Or just SQL design pattern?
Thanks, Scott. I'm pretty good at data modeling so I feel like, with enough time, I can solve this problem well. But that's when it occurs to me that this has been solved by many before me who have the benefit of hindsight. Maybe I could save my client some money by either recommending they buy something or I could at least take someone else's schema and start with that instead of from scratch. BTW, it's not just about normalization. It's also thinking ahead about the requirements for audit trails, historical reporting, knowing what data can be changed and what is never allowed to change once recorded, etc. db ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341991 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Recommended Shopping Cart
Hi - I have a client that will be selling products, likely from multiple suppliers. I've programmed a CF extranet that will spit out a coupon code based on the number of points people accrue in the system. I need to integrate the coupon code, and list products by supplier where shipping rate taxes are handled effectively. I don't want to work with a crappy system, and if possible, would prefer the cart be written in CF, but I suppose that's not required. Budget is open depending on what impresses me as I'll be the one deploying it and potentially teaching low-skilled computer people how to use some of the basics. On the low end, in terms of pricing, I've recently taken a brief look at CFShopKart, and from what I can tell thus far, it looks to be supported and may provide me with what I'm looking for since I can modify as I wish. Which shopping cart / ecommerce systems do you all use? If the cart is not developed with CF, (most seem to be Php), have you needed to communicate with the cart via any of your CF applications?

Notifications on payments are not reliable. 2. Expired Cards are not updated - Nice little cheat her, you can update a credit card adding 2 years to the experation year and it works a fair amount without customer interaction. 3. I know there was a 3rd but I'll stop here I can't remember the exact reason why we switched to CIM processing but it's amazing... you just need to handle your own recurring cycles and re-charge attempts based on decline reasons. It's a bit more work going CIM route, but then again I know 100% what's valid in my system every day, what's in re-try mode for declines, what we canceled because of re-try attempts that continue to decline etc. Think that's similar to Shift4 they provide a Authorize.Net provides a CustomerID and PaymentID because you can have multiple cards associated with one profile. then you just select the CustomerId PaymentId and amount to charge each month. http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchantservices/cim/ ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Document Shopping Cart and .zip archive download
A client of mine has an online document repository. They would like to give visitors the option of selecting documents as they peruse the site (essentially putting these documents in a shopping cart), and when the visitors are ready to download their selected documents they can do so in one fell swoop instead of downloading them one at a time. The documents are free so there is no actual cart or online store, but I think it needs to work similar to a shopping cart scenario. I'm using CFMX 7 with a SQL Server 2000 database on a shared Linux server, and the framework used is fusebox 4. Has anyone programmed anything like this before? Here are my assumptions on how the application should work and would appreciate any feedback. ASSUMPTIONS 1. I assume that selected documents would be held in a pending queue (d.b. table) 2. Upon checkout the visitor will be sent to a page that will display a link to download a .zip file that contains all selected files 3. Upon completing the download, the .zip file should be deleted. QUESTIONS: 1. How do I dynamically create a .zip folder and place all of the visitors selected files in it and delete the .zip file upon download completion? NOTES: I was previously send a link to: http://download.newsight.de/Zip.zip (a zip cfc), however that link is broken and can't test this option Thanks in advance for the help. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Shopping Cart Delivery Charge
Hi I am building a shopping cart which calculates shipping charges, some products also have an additional surcharge. Which is where i am stuck, The additional surcharge is stored within the product table. What i thought was to loop through the products in the cart, query the products database to get the surcharge or surcharges, loop through the query results for the individual surcharges. If this is the correct way, how do i then add the surcharges up and account for when the loop finishes.

Do you already have a query with your shopping cart? If so, just use a query-of-query (with SUM()). You don't mention if the surcharge is by product or by each item, but you may need to also be sure to factor in the product quantity. --- Mary Jo ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Shopping Cart Delivery Charge
The surcharge is for each product, you can only buy one main product at at time (multiple purchases are treated as trade), you can also add multiple accessories (which have no delivery charge) Shopping cart items are stored in the session. I am exploring the sum route at the moment. Thank you all for your response. Do you already have a query with your shopping cart? If so, just use a query-of-query (with SUM()).

Re: Shopping Cart Delivery Charge
You can carry a variable through your cfloop/cfoutput query to hold the running total of the surcharges. You can also hit the database with a new call for the sum, as other have mentioned. You can also do: cfset allsurcharges = ArraySum(ListToArray(ValueList([querycolumnname]))) William Hi I am building a shopping cart which calculates shipping charges, some products also have an additional surcharge. Which is where i am stuck, The additional surcharge is stored within the product table. What i thought was to loop through the products in the cart, query the products database to get the surcharge or surcharges, loop through the query results for the individual surcharges. If this is the correct way, how do i then add the surcharges up and account for when the loop finishes.

Re: Shopping cart with focus on inventory management? Or just inventory management?
Hi. I'm looking for a ColdFusion shopping cart that also has a good feature set for managing inventory. Really looking for an inventory management system that also has a shopping cart. Or actually it might not even *have* to have a shopping cart, if you know of a good CF inventory management system, please post it. My product CFWebstore does have a pretty comprehensive set of inventory management features as well, so you might want to take a look at it. I have a fair number of customers that also use it in conjunction with Quickbooks (using a 3rd party product to handle imports). It kind of depends on exactly what features you need which approach works best.

some issue while increment/decrement value of product in a shopping cart
Hi, I'm having a strange issue and I need some help resolving it
I have design a complete CFM shopping cart with auto generate discount coupon
and lots of other features however a small thing still generate a major issue
using + / - sign the customer can increase or decrease the ordered quantity of

it is working fine when only 1 item is on the shopping cart if several item are
in it
increasing or decreasing the value of 1 of them will effect the all product
quantity in the cart
where am I wrong

RE: some issue while increment/decrement value of product in a shopping cart
Well you are obviously looping over your entire cart and adjusting the
quantity of each item when the buttons are clicked. The buttons are also
very generically named which makes me believe that they aren't tied to
individual items in anyway.

Re: some issue while increment/decrement value of product in a shopping cart
Hi Bob,
Thank you for your prompt answer ,
In deed I do loop in to all the Session content, but how can I provent that
before I did add that increase / decrease feature , customers add to manualy
change the quantity field value to upgrade it and it was working and not
affecting the all session content
the code was
cfelseif Isdefined ('FORM.update_button.y')
cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(SESSION.cart)# index=i
cfset SESSION.cart[i].quantite = FORM[quantite_ i] /
/cfloop
cflocation url=contenu_commande.cfm
the only thing I did is to duplicate the fucntion and add the increase /
decrease build in function to it.
thank you for your help

RE: some issue while increment/decrement value of product in a shopping cart
You don't notice the one big difference between before and after?
The old code updated a cart items quantity based on the corresponding form
fields value.
There are a few ways to do it... one way would be to give each cart item its
OWN form. Use the +/- as the submit buttons. Hide the cart item id in a
hidden field for each form so you know which item to adjust then just +1 or
-1 based on which submit button was clicked.
cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(SESSION.cart)# index=i
form action=#cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_string# method=post
input type=hidden name=cartItemID value=#i# /
input type=submit name=increaseQTY value=+ /
input type=submit name=dereaseQTY value=- /
#SESSION.cart[i].ItemName#
/form
br /
/cfloop
cfif isdefined('form.increaseQTY')
cfset val(SESSION.cart[FORM[cartItemID]].quantite) =
val(SESSION.cart[FORM[cartItemID]].quantite) + 1 /
cfelseif isdefined('form.decreaseQTY')
cfset val(SESSION.cart[FORM[cartItemID]].quantite) =
val(SESSION.cart[FORM[cartItemID]].quantite) - 1 /
/cfif
form.increaseQTY.y and form.decreaseQTY.y if you use images for the plus and
minus

Re: Shopping Cart Recommendation?
The main issue people have with it these days (and typically the reason I get from people that switch to my product) is that it no longer is really a ColdFusion application, it merely uses ColdFusion as the front-end to the underlying Java code. Ok, I wondered about that after reading through their site. Now it makes sense. Yes, that would most likely be a problem for me.

Re: Shopping Cart Recommendation?
Someone also mentioned another cart to me today called AbleCommerce. I hadn't come across that one yet -- has anyone ever had experience with it? Well, I can only briefly comment as it's a competitor to my product and it's been awhile since I had any direct access to a copy. But it's been around for awhile, as it was the first real ecommerce platform for ColdFusion and has a large, active community still. The main issue people have with it these days (and typically the reason I get from people that switch to my product) is that it no longer is really a ColdFusion application, it merely uses ColdFusion as the front-end to the underlying Java code. So it's considerably harder to modify than most of the other products listed here (assuming you are a CF developer and not a Java developer). You'd certainly want to make sure that you won't need to add or change any core functions to determine how much of an issue this is...which is not a bad assessment to do in any case prior to purchase to know how well any particular product meets your needs. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:296215 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Shopping Cart Recommendation?
Hi, We're looking to convert our current e-commerce site over to ColdFusion but are having a tough time locating a fairly robust shopping cart that will work with it. We're looking for something already existing that can track inventory, accept gift certificates/discounts, PayPal, (possibly with an extention to tie into Quickbooks) to name a few. I think the closest products to what we want would be similar to ZenCart or ProductCart. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Thank you!

+6 for CFWebStore - that's how many installations we have going right now, with a few more coming down the pike soon. Pros: * It's fusebox based. * It's got solid documentation * It's completely skinnable and modifyable * It has everything you're talking about except one - Quickbooks For the QuickBooks integration, that requires a product called T-Hub by Atandra along with some custom coding on your part to build the interface.

If you want to email me off-list I can talk more to that. Hey Hatton, I'd be interested in hearing what you did with T-Hub. Obviously I do get asked about Quickbooks integration fairly frequently, but there's so many good 3rd party products out there that specialize in this, it just makes more sense to let them handle it using a order export from the store versus my trying to constantly stay updated with what Intuit does (hard enough keeping up with PayPal, UPS, FedEx, AuthNet and all the other payment gateways, etc.!) There's a couple others I usually recommend but always interested to hear about others people might be using. --- Mary Jo ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:296090 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Shopping Cart Recommendation?

If you want to email me off-list I can talk more to that. Hey Hatton, I'd be interested in hearing what you did with T-Hub. T-Hub acts as an SOAP/XML intermediary between the Quickbooks API and any web interface. In short, it handles 4 basic transaction types spanning 3 Levels: Level 1: Order Export - Sends a basic request asking for orders. The store has to return an XML structure that contains ALL information about the order including customer details (bill and ship to), payment details (method, discounts, gift certificates, extra charges), and all product details. This level of integration can be done with any store that will dump said information in a CSV file OR can be done via the XML method provided certification is attained (see note below). Level 2: Order Payment Status Update - Since T-Hub monitors Quickbooks, as soon as a payment is made on an invoice the system can be triggered to update the payment status on the website. This happens via a SOAP request where T-Hub sends a packet that includes the order number and other specifics. The web store has to acknowledge receipt of the data. It must be certified by Atandra. Order Shipment Status Update - Same as Payment, only with shipping information. Level 3: Product Inventory/Price Import - T-Hub collects the information about the products in the QB database and sends them via XML to the web store. The store must be able to dynamically add product, manufacturers, categories and update price and inventory. Certification is needed for this step. What is this certification? Atandra will certify that a store software package works with T-Hub for a fee. We have a client that needs only Level 3, but that fee is $750. We have passed that cost on to the client and are working on a client specific version of the integration code at this time. We have two other clients that are interested in the rest of the integration and are planning on building out complete integration to the T-Hub standards as soon as they commit to the quote.

I'm coming into this on the tail end, so I didn't see the original message. I wouldn't recommend Access for anything that will be used in production, particularly now that SQL Sever Express (2005 lite) is available. Back when it wasn't available I designed my SQL Abstraction library to work with Access (along with MySQL, SQL Server Oracle). So if for some reason you had problems installing one of the other 3, if you were using the onTap framework (or something like it) that abstracts the database access and were pretty monogamous about not using ad-hoc queries, then you could use an MS Access database locally for minimal development and testing to create a proof of concept and all your code would then still work for the other databases. But I agree that you really wouldn't want to use an Access database beyond the larval stages. I personally prefer using SQL 2005 on my notebook. The new SQL Server Management Studio that replaced Enterprise Manager + Query Analyzer is imo in some ways a step back from the older tools in spite of some minor improvements to the interface. Still, at least for my purposes it seems easier to manage than MySQL. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295075 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Shopping Cart Theory
I'm for storing them in a table. I suppose that if you wanted to allow guest shopping, you could assign a temporary user id (some UUID) and store it on their machine as a cookie, and then use that as a key in the cart table. That's just a thought off the top of my head, so there could be some issues that I've not thought about, but it seems like a solid idea.

Re: Shopping Cart Theory
I have done both. It really depends on what the client wants and the hosting environment. I did one where the items were held in a temporary database table with a UUID simply because the client wanted to make sure that the customer could come back to their items if they either changed their minds later on or if something happened like their computer shut down unexpectedly. I put a time/date stamp on the cart and would purge the cart after 5 days. We also set it up so that if a registered (i.e. logged in customer) was shopping and they did not finalize their purchase, it would kick an email to them saying that they still had items in their cart and that they were going to be deleted in x days, and gave them a link to go back to the site and decide if they wanted to buy the items. I personally favor the holding of the items myself for the reason you said below, if something happens, you don't want the customer to have to go back and put all their items back into the cart. That would be a fast way to get me away from your site.

Re: Shopping Cart Theory
What would the rest of you consider the optimal way to store items before checking out? One request that the client made was that you could have an account - but that it be possible to shot/checkout *without* and account as well. So, there's a sign in to retrieve your data before you checkout, or you can just checkout without signing in. This requires a temporary id with temporary storage until we know who the actual shopper is. If you have an account, then a cookie is set (when allowed) and the site knows who you are whenever you return anyway - if you selected the remember me option at some point... After some thought - a temporary table to hold items plus a session ID to keep up with the customer, *AND* set a cookie with the same data just to be sure. If one craps out, there other exist as a backup. Overkill?

Moving from cookie to session for shopping cart
What I want to do it move away from storing shopping cart information in a cookie. We currently do this because we have multiple servers that handle the shopping cart. What I want to do it use only two servers in a cluster, one active and the other passive, and use session variables to control the shopping cart. I know you still need a cookie for the session variable. What I thought was I could insert the session ID in a table with the stock number, quantity, and price. After the order is completed, the session ID is deleted and all information about the order is purged from the table. Also, I would probably set to purge sessions that are inactive for 7 days. So.. may table would look like this: SessionID Stock Qty Price AddDate - - - -- - 1234567 123 1 9.9504/30/2007 Sound good? Also, would CF Enterprise be idea for this?

RE: Basic CFM shopping cart tutorial/Dreaweaver extension
Rob, By using a query I can do several things quite easily: 1. Check to see if an item already exists in the cart by comparing ALL properties. 2. Sum sub-total columns. 3. Sum quantity columns. 4. Add custom properties to the items query (ex. size, color, sex, wood, finish, media, etc.). 5. Loop over the items using the CFLoop/Query tag (easier than an index loop). I am sure that arrays / structs can handle all of that as well... There is just something I love about the ColdFusion query object.

Re: Basic CFM shopping cart tutorial/Dreaweaver extension
I need no money transaction in the shopping cart so many options based on credit cards and shipping and something like that won't be necessary. Just showing the products in categories, and adding them to wish list/ buy list after logging in and showing the added products in a box righ_top of tha page will be completely enough. For something fairly simple like that, you're going to want to write your own I think. Most commercial shoppping carts are going to have at least the same amount of features as Cartweaver, if not more, so probably not going to work for you.

Re: collecting IP Address through database shopping cart
my bad, sorry I had 15 things going on when I posted that. let me be a bit more detailed this time. I currently do have some single page forms that I use this code to capture the IP Address: cfset ipaddress=#cgi.remote_addr# cfset IPArray = listToArray(IPAddress,.) cfset IPNumber= (IPArray[1] * (256)^3) + (IPArray[2] * (256)^2) + (IPArray[3] * 256) + IPArray[4] I placed that same code into my form on my cart and since my database won't accept cgi.remote_addr as a field name, I named the fied name in the database ipaddress. I then added this code on my processing form: INSERT INTO orders (ipaddress, IDname, CCFname, CCLname, CCcompany,CCStreet1,CCStreet2,CCcity,CCstate,CCzip,Phone,Fax,Email,CCNumber,CCtype,CCexp,CCVC,shipFname, shipLname, shipcompany,shipStreet1,shipStreet2,shipcity,shipstate,shipzip,specialinstructions, orderdate, cleared, salestax, Shippingmethod, ShippingCost) VALUES ( cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR value=#cgi.remote_addr#, The problem I'm having is that on our end where we retrieve the order info, the ipaddres feild is showing our IP instead of the clients and for some reason is showing the clients IP in another field that is designated for the clients ID code. In fact, it shows their IP and then their code and then their IP twice after that. so, I'm not sure what I've done wrong. any thoughts and thanks for your quick response ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:275182 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Are you using CFHTTP to post to those forms in some way? That would explain the why the value you're getting is the servers IP. On your duplicate values, I would suggest checking your query. It looks like you've got quite a few fields on your INSERT statement. I would suggest looking at that query again and see if you have your list of query params out of order with your field list. Ditto for your SELECT queries where you are retrieving the results. Also, what are you trying to accomplish by converting the IP address into an IP number (with the array)? That's not a slam on you, just trying to get clarification. I assume you're just looking to store the only address as a simple value in your db for tracking purposes, correct?

ColdFusion Shopping Cart
Sorry if this has been asked 1000 times before, but can anyone recommend a ColdFusion shopping cart under $500? It will only need to hold around 100 products but most importantly it needs to work correctly within Australia (I have had a disastrous experience in the past with a cart that fell apart when trying to set up for Australia). Ideally I will be able to link it to an Australian payment gateway, and if not it should have a secure strategy for storing credit card details. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Re: Gift Certificate/Shopping cart question
I personally just use the code, since it's a 20-digit random code that's going to be pretty secure on its own. You don't want to use the email since many people purchase them to give as gifts and the person using the code may not know the email of the person that bought it originally. I'm using the receiver's email in the field. The purchaser makes the purchase, then the receiver receives their certificate via email. But this makes me think... should I offer a choice of electronic or paper certificates? giftCertificateManager.cfc would be able to generate both types depending on what the user selects during checkout. Or should it just be a simple printable gift certificate type of thing. Thanks Mary Jo! Will ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Gift Certificate/Shopping cart question
I need to add gift certificate functionality to my store app. What's the best way to do this? I'm guessing I need a tblGiftCertificates.

Would I set it up as an item for sale like that? Then, what's the best process for the certificate receiver to redeem their cert.? Use their email and a generated certificate code as info they'd put in a form during the checkout process? Then keep a running total on how much they have left on the cert?

Re: Gift Certificate/Shopping cart question
The user buys and actually pays for the certificate like it was any item in the store? Would I set it up as an item for sale like that? Generally yes. You can create a function to generate them automatically if you want, but you'd have to ensure that it is only done if you're using some online gateway and can validate the payment before sending them the code. If the store is low-volume, manually generating codes usually works fine. Then, what's the best process for the certificate receiver to redeem their cert.? Use their email and a generated certificate code as info they'd put in a form during the checkout process? I personally just use the code, since it's a 20-digit random code that's going to be pretty secure on its own. You don't want to use the email since many people purchase them to give as gifts and the person using the code may not know the email of the person that bought it originally. Then keep a running total on how much they have left on the cert? Yup. So in your table, I'd suggest keeping both the original amount as well as the current balance. You should also add information to your orders table to show the certificate code used so you can track it back to the purchaser. --- Mary Jo ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: Robust, easily configurable shopping cart?
While cf_ezcart looks good, I'm not wild about the licensing terms. I have multiple sites that use my core site code, and I'd like to be able to modify the core code to integrate with my site and roll it out to whatever clients need a cart. Well, in that case I might suggest http://www.cartweaver.com/other/affordable.cfm It has unlimited licencing. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262561 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Robust, easily configurable shopping cart?

The following are important to me: * Doesn't rely on any specific framework, i.e. FB or Mach-II I'm curious as to why you have this requirement...and not just because CFWebstore uses FB. :-) Why would you *not* want something that you know follows some logical coding pattern versus some unknown spagetti code? Not that without a framework you can't have decent code, but I don't quite understand the prejudice against it, for an off-the-shelf product. I can understand not using a framework for your own code, if that's your preference. But with someone else's code, it gives you some idea of how things are put together. That's the entire reason I switched to FB in the first place. Although I doubt I'd ever move to something like Mach-II, since I do still want to keep it reasonably simple for those that don't do OO programming. As for wanting a single license to cover all the sites you set up, Cartweaver is the only product I know that does that, at least for CF. As you've seen though, the tradeoff is the fairly limited functionality.

Shopping cart?
Was wondering if anyone has or knows of a resource on developing shopping carts that use a database for cart storage versus session scope. Just wondering what the best way to handle things would be. The way I imagine it, and I may be wrong, is to have the client create their ad and place it into a tempAds Table, then I would use the adid as the cart item key. Once the client decides to check out and I receive confirmation of payment, I would pull the information from the temporary table and insert it into the advertisements table. Does this sound about right, or am I way off base? any help is much appreciated.

Re: Shopping cart?
Doug, here's what I've always done. User visits site - CF creates a shopping cart key (createUUID()) and stores it in the session scope, as a cookie, or puts it into a very simple CARTS table. My cart_contents table looks like this (pardon the caps, I still use caps for SQL) CREATE TABLE CART_CONTENTS ( CART_KEY char(35) NOT NULL default '', PRODUCT_ID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', OPTION_ID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', QUANTITY int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', ACCESS_TIME datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00', PRIMARY KEY (CART_KEY,PRODUCT_ID,OPTION_ID) ) TYPE=MyISAM; This setup allows me to have multiple SIZES/COLORS of each product in the cart, and keep them separate. The access_time field allows me to delete old cart contents. When the user checks out, an ORDER is created in the ORDERS table, and the I *COPY* the cart_contents items into an ORDER_CONTENTS table with the same structure, except the order_contents table also contains the CURRENT price of the product. Never rely on your products table for historical price information. I had a customer that was constantly changing prices, and if I only did joins to the product table to get price, things would get ugly. You could optionally maintain a price_history table or something, but that overcomplicates it if you ask me. After checkout is complete, the cart_key stored in the session scope is deleted... if they do more shopping, an ew cart_key gets created.

Re: Robust, easily configurable shopping cart?
It's possible that the original author uses his own coding styles and rules, and integrating a fusebox or mach-ii based app might be too much trouble. Yes, but that's exactly my point. With an unknown code base, there's no way to know how easy or hard it would be to integrate into ANY coding style, framework or not. I certainly have plenty of users that use my product with non-FB sites, it doesn't force them to code everything they do that way. Just because you don't use a common framework doesn't mean there isn't logic and design to your code. As I did say. But there's no way to know that, or to know if that logic or design will match your own logic and design. Generally with an off-the-shelf product, you're going to drop it into a separate directory and call it from there (unless you use it to run the entire site which many people may do). You don't want to integrate it highly into existing code for a simple reason...it makes updates a real PITA.

You could optionally maintain a price_history table or something, but that overcomplicates it if you ask me. Doug covered the basics real well here, I'll just add that another good reason for not joining the product table is so you can delete products no longer being used, while maintaining your order history. --- Mary Jo ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262572 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Shopping cart questions?
I have a classifieds site that I am needing to design a shopping cart for. What I am looking to do is let the user create their ad and then once they are done and hit continue, they are taken to a page where they can choose to check out, or they can create another ad. I am wondering what the best way to store this information would be. I may in the future use a clustered enviornment and therfore do not think keeping the cart contents in the session scope would be a great idea. What would be the best way? Database? All input is appreciated.

Re: Shopping cart questions?
You could serialize the cart (using WDDX or some other method) and put it in the client scope. I also think just using a database is a good option. Using a database would allow you to easily see your customers' carts, which might be useful from a support perspective. Also, it would allow a customer to put ads in his cart and log in later from another computer to pick up where he left off.

Re: Shopping cart questions?
Well, that is what I was thinking. The other issue that I have as far as using the database storage is image uploads. I plan on allowing a user to upload as many as 10 images per ad, and was wondering how to handle the image upload if they end up not checking out. Should I just run a scheduled task every so often and delete the images off the server based on the info in the tempCart table?
