I wanted to say thank you to Rod and everyone else here that stuck by me and walked me through this process. I just recieved my first order that was paid through PayPal. I'm so excited. Now the task of trying to setup for digital downloads.
In the add the item to cart popup I can't see all the text because of the text colors being the same as the back ground color.
Changed the color code but didn't change the outcome.
Not sure I follow. Did you change the galleries base font color??
The cart icon is appearing in the upper right of your large images. It's not appearing on the thumbnails.
I can click on the cart icon and see the sizes you're offering. I can add an item to your cart and then I can view the cart. All seems to be working.
Changed the color code but didn't change the outcome.
The cart icon is appearing on the large images, just not on the thumbnails.
make sure that in CE4 Gallery > Output Settings > Shopping Cart Integration : Display Add-to-Cart Buttons on Grid is checked.the other issue you'll have is in the add to cart pop-up dialog. Since you're gallery is using the color white for fonts, and that color is used for some of the text in the add to cart pop-up, some of the text in the Add to Cart dialog will be invisible since it's the same color of the background.
This can be fixed with custom css.

If we could see the gallery we might be able to offer suggestions
Yes, the only issue I have right now is when I click on a pic to view it, at pops up but no shopping cart to view sizes.
well, just work on getting a cart enabled gallery online at first. Enable Transactionless checkout
have you seen this on PayPal credentials?

Great so GoDaddy could be a problem as well. I'll make a small gallery for testing but I still don't understand the sandbox testing and how to do it in paypal.
Well after having this cart for awhile, I still have gotten it to work. Kind of bummed with the money spent. I have change from yahoo hosting to godaddy. If this doesn't work, I give up. Very frustrated and have lost numerous orders because the checkout process didn't complete.
So just merge it with the folder that's there? By the way, Thanks for your help. I've had this cart bundle and have yet made money from it. I can't get it to work.
How do I update the gallery? I've looked for documentation.
I see that your server is automatically adding JavaScript to the end of every request, e.g.
<script type="text/javascript">(function (d, w) {var x = d.getElementsByTagName('SCRIPT')[0];var f = function () {var s = d.createElement('SCRIPT');s.type = 'text/javascript';s.async = true;s.src = "//np.lexity.com/embed/YW/6db414379341ed578c337c401b740d27?id=51c0cb92f84b";x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);};w.attachEvent ? w.attachEvent('onload',f) :w.addEventListener('load',f,false);}(document, window));</script>This is not good. This script is even added to the background page requests that galleries make to communicate with the cart, and causes the cart to fail completely.
This appears to be created by a Yahoo-specific plugin E-commerce plugin called Lexity. I suggest that you try and find a setting to disable this plugin within your Yahoo account settings. Failing that, you'll need to contact Yahoo support.
Yahoo should under no circumstances append JavaScript to the responses that the cart has made clearly as "application/json" content. It is not something we can code around and is very poor form on Yahoo's part.
Looks like I can't disable it so I guess I will look for another hosting company. More hurdles for me, I've had yahoo for 10 years. I know nothing about transferring domains or how to carry my site over.
well then you need to enable the cart in the gallery like I mentioned earlier. Right now the gallery is not connected to the cart. You won't be able to test functionality or go live until you do that.
Yes Sir, I have done that and I just uploaded it with the new settings.
Test credentials mean those used in Paypal's Sandbox. Any transactions going through with test credentials are for your testing that the cart settings you have set work exactly as you intend, without the need to create real transactions on a PayPal account or credit card. This is not a test of whether the cart works or is buggy.
This ability to use test credentials is for your peace of mind. If you are confident that you have set up your products and prices correctly then by all means go ahead with live credentials.
Like I said, I apologize if I come across wrong but this is much more than I thought it would be. I really need this to work now.
I believe the test and live credentials are different.
You might want to wait for Ben.
I don't understand why I'm having to test software that I purchased to do the job it described. I paid $110 for a gallery and cart software that integrated paypal for checkout. Why am I testing it, shouldn't it work already? I hope I'm not coming across wrong but this is aggravating. I understand installing and setting up, but testing shouldn't be required. I'm sitting here trying to get this to work when I shouldn't have to worry, mean while I have customers waiting on me and I desperately need their money. The longer they have to wait the less likely they will buy. You have a limited time for customers to buy after an event or they loose interest.
So I have to submit for testing credentials from paypal? This is way over my head. They want proof of business and files uploaded.....I don't think I can do this. Is the "test credentials" different than the "Live credentials"?
This setting up a test app is blowing my mind.
looks like PayPal changed things up a bit. Try clicking on the "Classic APIs link"
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/de … s/classic/and then the "test your integration" link:
I think for the time being I should sell the digital downloads and just send it after payment. Once I get money rolling I will purchase publisher. So your saying publisher takes the hard manual work out of delivering digital downloads?
I guess this software is more for developers than photographers like myself
Not really. Everybody using it is a photographer.
also just looked and I'm not sure about this paypal API or what sandbox means.
do you have a business PayPal account?
You'll need to go to PayPal to get your API
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … redentialsone problem with your gallery is that you've not entered the cart url in the Output Settings > Shopping Cart Integration
The cart can't work without it.
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … ntegrationSince you're not using Publisher, you'll need to prepare and upload the hi-resolution images for download yourself:

Ok, I found and put in my API settings for paypal but its for the LIVE part not the testing. I'm trying to figure out how to setup the test part and the TTG directions don't line up with what I see on paypal. I do have a business account through paypal, LOL I do know that much.
I sure do appreciate all the help in here. It means a lot.
Ben, can you look at my gallery? I guess this software is more for developers than photographers like myself. I'm not sure how to set this up to sell my photos. I have a graduation to get up ASAP and I'm not sure if it's going to work. I need to sell prints and downloads. Isn't this software able to automatically send a digital download as soon as payment is made?
I also just looked and I'm not sure about this paypal API or what sandbox means.
Give me a few min, I'm uploading them now.

It isn't. In my experience, Yahoo hosting is simply one of the worst, and on a number of fronts.
I've thought about finding me another host. Do any of you have suggestions?
Well I can see the cart online but not on my phone, I have no idea why.
That's strange. Any particular message you're getting?
Those two files aren't strictly needed. .htaccess has been superseded with htaccess (no preceding period), and .htaccess_disabled is for functionality that has yet to be built, and is unlikely to be any time soon.
It's says critical file transfer error. So I setup a small shopping cart but I was wondering. after I click on the thumbnail is there a way to have the items for purchase to show up under the photo instead of having to click on the cart first?
Ok, just transferred cart to the ttg-be folder on my site using filezilla and 2 files would not transfer after multiple attempts. the files are ttg-be/cart/application/skeleton/.htaccess and the other ttg-be/cart/.htaccess_disabled
Your site definitely won't function with PHP 4. Yahoo shouldn't even be running such an old and unsupported version.
Give PHP 5.2 a go and see whether that gets you past the white screen.Matt and others may know more about Yahoo hosting and whether it's a good PHP citizen in general.
Ok I changed it to 5.3, the only one it allowed me to change to and I can log in. One hurdle down, Thanks Ben
Where are you trying to view ttg-be? As the developer of ttg be, I can often work things out just by knowing where you're trying to put it, even if it comes up as a white page.
Thanks Ben, I uploaded ttg-be to my website but when I go to access it the screen is just white. I don't know if it helps, but I use yahoo web hosting. I looked last night and the way my web hosting is setup it's usin php 4.3.11 and that doesn' support PDO, sqlite, pdo_sqlite. But php 5.2.12 does. If I change these will my site still function?
I think I have bit off more than I can chew. I should have known better.
