Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
I'm working on a new shopping cart from scratch and I was wondering if you guys could check it out and throw some feedback on how it works for you. Its on a shared server right now, but it will be moved to a dedicated box once it goes live.
the only category that is filled right now is ALTERNATIVE PROCESS >> TONERS
there are products in there you can add to the cart
I'm hoping you guys can find something I missed or overlooked. Maybe any security issues I'm not seeing off the bat, etc. If anyone wants to see the source code I can post the shopping cart class.
thanks!!
p.s. the whole site isn't finished yet, Ive just uploaded the shopping cart and product catalog pages.
some of the challenges of this cart were custom price breaks
buy # get # free
buy # get them at a new lower price
buy # get a percentage off each item
all in all it took about 4 days to build everything so far.
the check out part is gonna be a biatch though. custom shipping charges, hazardous checking, different taxing for counties within states, passing data securely to an AS/400 system for the credit auth and then passing the data back.
I was using os commerce at first but we needed so much custom work, I just figured it would be a great learning tool to rewrite it from the bottom up.
Ok I randomly picked an item from Alterative thigy and ordered one of it. It took me to the shoppoing cart. I then added 20 more and hit the Update Quantity button. It updated. But when I entered -1 and hit the button, it says, "YOUR CART IS CURRENTLY EMPTY "
Under 'Create an account' I got this up on the page:
// echo ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT; ?> required
With this 'required' being a different font to the rest of them.
I would also change the colour for the 'required' to a darker colour as blue is the least visible to the human eye and many of us males have colour deficiencies - just my accessability 2c worth.
