#26 CE4 Cart » write in purchase button » 2016-04-01 19:24:17

In the documentation I found:
"So as an example, you might use CE4 Stage to create a product page. You setup a Galleria slideshow featuring images relating to your product, highlighting specific features or qualities. In the block, you provide a product description and a purchase button. The purchase button adds the item to CE4 Cart for checkout."

What is exactly meant with the "item"? All images making up the stage slideshow?

I set up this write in purchase button
In the “add-to-cart” class I have to specify the item ID (A unique identifier for the item being sold) - for example Test
transactionless checkout, Customer gets info with status pending payment. The first attribute filename has no value. Why?
In Cart Admin | manage | edit: I can upload a file. Where is this file stored on the server?
Marking the order as paid and going back to the download link the customer got the status is download, but there is still no filename shown. Why?
Using Safari the downloaded file is named cart (without any extension) What is the reason for that strange renaming?
Doing the same in Firefox will result looks like: z9L_T_1f.jpg

Another Example:
I want to place a purchase button in the block for downlaoding an image for free.
Where do I have to specify which conrete image it is?- any relationship to the item ID? Only by uploading the file in cart admin afterwards? Last would be not a good workflow because it is an extra effort after the customer has "ordered" the free download.

Thanks, I will test it next coming weekend

Hi Matt
Your are right, that's what I'm looking for.
Only "option" to realize that is to set up two differnt galleries/albums - no really workaround for me.
On top correct naming of download link (including the tif extension ) is only possible via manual gallery export and upload (not supported by the publisher).
I will offer only jpeg file (low and high res). I can live with that.

Is it possible to activate color labels in the gallery plugin but only showing one specific color (if an image has marked with more than one color only one should be shown in the gallery)?

Is the order number randomly generated?
Would be nice if it could be starting from 000 onwards

#34 Re: CE4 Cart » cart - managing products » 2016-03-31 21:42:45

thanks for response:
Your described workflow No 1:
this is exactly what I tried out yesterday - not working.
The to be downloaded files are correct, but the file extension is in both cases the same.

Your proposal with offline downloads:
same result: the uploaded file (tiff file) can be downloaded (the file name is still the one that the customer has chosen - correct) but ALSO the extension remains unchanged (not correct)

#35 Re: CE4 Cart » cart - managing products » 2016-03-31 19:42:57

Hi Ben,
may you have a chance to look at this post?

Rod's last post: using Publisher there are no settings for extension / filetype.
Even though this parameter could be set: I see no chance to get my addressed problem to be solved

In the downlaod link, regardless of which file (jpeg or tif) the customer has purchased, in all cases he will see only one file extension.

#36 Re: CE4 Cart » cart - managing products » 2016-03-31 08:02:18

ok, perhaps Ben could make an update tomorrow.

In case that really the extension is controlled by the gallery settings (do not know where to make this setting) it would be a bad situation in this respect, because so only ONE extension will be possible. Using two different galleries only to offer 2 filetyps is not a pragmatic workflow. We will see tomorrow ..

#37 Re: CE4 Cart » cart - managing products » 2016-03-31 07:34:29

Tutorial is really helpful!

In your last passage of that tutorial you write:
Some of you may need to offer tiff files for download. If this is the case, Publisher cannot provide those images for you, it can only process out jpg images. So you'll need to go the manual uploading route as described above. In fact, you could offer any file type as long as the base file names match those of the images in the gallery.

I exported the tiff file in the specific folder.
Testing the download from the customers perspective is positiv except one issue

In the downlaod link, regardless of which file (jpeg or tif) the customer has purchased, in all cases the file extension is "jpg".
This would be confusing for the customer.

How to achive that in case of a tiff purchse the file extension is "tif" in the downloadlink naming?

The to be downloaded file is the correct one, after setting it all up as described in your tutorial

cart admin | reset cart: what is exactly happening?

Sometimes needed for changes to apply, such as changing prices in a pricing scheme, adding a product, etc.

OK, I thought that all my cart settings may be reset to the default values sad

I have defined a product: digital download
I have setup up 2 atttibutes with two options.

The customer should be able to chose a colorspace (sRGB or Adobe RGB) and a file Format (jpg or tif)
Theoretical 4 options.
In the folder photos-for-purchase only one file exist (the one I specified in the template) let us say the sRGB jpg option.
I would be OK for me to create and save the other 3 files manually in this server folde , BUT

the customer gets in his email confirmation in all cases the link to file specified in the template (in this case the sRGB jpeg file)

How is the process that the customer gets exactly his ordered file?
The chosen option (1 of 4 in this example) has to match with item ID and item Name in the order confirmation email (and also the download link)

some basic questions:

cart admin | reset cart: what is exactly happening?

cart admin | update order: additional notes are possible - where do they have to appear (in the customers email?) - I did some tests and in no email the additional notes are evident.

What are the exact preconditions for downloading? In case the customer does not use paypal I have to mark the order as "paid" before the customer gets another email and is able for downloading. There are 2 boxes to fill: paid and fulfillment. How do they influence that the customer can download the files? For example: Paid "yes" and fulfillment "pending" enables the download - sounds strange

#41 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-30 06:36:36

would the situation be different in case of not using the publisher and exporting the gallery manually?

#42 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-30 04:04:06

Thanks to all. I decided to choose another option. Making use of several albums sets and stage template.
One question as far as stage is concerned (using html video and publisher)
Clicking on the thumbnail that opens the page with the stage video I only have the option to view one video. The one I specified in the publisher.
Is there any chance to play more than one?

I do not mean the function (like on youtube) to play a video list.
I'm interest in getting more than one Video to be opened separately on that stage page. Possible?

#43 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-29 04:57:52

if (G_PATH == 'FOLDER-NAME') && (G_STYLE != 'CE4-MOBILE') {
results in
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&&' (T_BOOLEAN_AND)

What do you mean with <or you can just try the media query idea and hide use display: none; on the video container div.>?

#44 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-29 01:48:29

thanks for response, perhaps Ben or Matt do have a good Idea smile

#45 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-29 01:34:03

Hi Rod, I do need your expertise hmm
Would be great if you can help me.

my findings / questions

  • G_STYLE identifiers are used to target specific gallery types when authoring PHPlugins

  • mobil settings could be used for some but not all STYLES (e.g not for autoindex and stage)

  • CE4-MOBILE targets CRG respectively ALL galleries; CE4-PAGES-MOBILE impacts only the page where the pages gallery is going to

  • no further concretion is possible (e.g which special gallery should be addressed)

Could I also use the "mobile settings"with G_PATH?

in my example:
function ttg_block_bottom( $style, $path ) {
if (G_PATH == 'FOLDER-NAME') {
echo '
<iframe width="1092" height="614" src="link to video on server" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
';
return false;        // Replaces normal menu
    }
} // END

I want to achieve that this will only be relevant for non mobile devices. How to specify a second size (width and height) to be used on mobile devices? How would that conditional expression look like?

#46 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-27 08:09:15

thanks, I will give it a try tomorrow

#47 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-27 07:39:58

my "solution" has one downside - only working fine on desktop computer respectively if the screen is at minimum the size specified (in my case 1092 px).

Is there any chance to specify a second size (width and height) to be used on mobile devices.
Or any way to disable the video on mobile devices (only to be played in case the minimum size is reached)?

Happe Easter!

my web service provider informed me that php 5.4 is no longer supported.
Are there any requirements in TTG Code / scripts for using that old PHP version?
Could I switch to PHP 5.6 without any issues?

#49 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-21 07:14:25

yes, HTML 5, using it with stage makes no problems

Nows it works using the statement:

function ttg_block_bottom( $style, $path ) {
if (G_PATH == 'FOLDER-NAME') {
echo '
<iframe width="1092" height="614" src="link to video on server" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
';
return false;        // Replaces normal menu
    }
} // END

#50 Re: CE4 Auto Index » link to video in auto index » 2016-03-21 04:39:21

you tube is no option for me. I want to use video content on the server.

using this function:

function ttg_block_bottom( $style, $path ) {
echo '

<video src="http://www.link to videofile on the server">

';
return false;        // Replaces normal menu
} // END


I get a big black placeholder located where expected, but the placeholder exceeds the block width and no playback button occurs.
