Is there an existing shopping cart that easily plugs into Gallery to allowing purchasing of images?

The only way I could get it so that i got the correct image name was to insert them into the view_photo.php file. Took me a while to figure that one out.

if you don't mind can you place the mod in here or on sf.net - under a patch or something?

thanks

Here's how I figured out how to do it, Phylo probably has a better way:

Steps to do this:

Join PayPal
Upgrade to a Business account (so you can use a shopping cart)

put this code in /view_photo.php (If you put it in html_wrap/inline_photo.footer it just labels the photo link "item number" as inline_photo.footer). The reason you do this is so that you know which photo the customer wants to buy. You can also easily add a "View Cart" link by using the code Phylo has on his page (with your code you get from paypal) and put different options for print sizes in a table like he did.

<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE><form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremail@hotmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="5X7 print">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="<?= $photoURL ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="image_url" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/yourlogo.gif"><font face="Verdana" size="1">digital photo on CD .00</font><br>
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value=".00">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="<?= $photoURL ?>">
<input type="image" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/yourcdlogo.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
</form> </TD></TR></TABLE>

Sorry it has taken me so long to post again.. I have been super slammed trying to run my busines so I havnt checked the forums in a while.. I am actualy working with a couple of different people to make a much better data base driven gallery with a shopping cart system that will be much more robust than the one that I am using now.. Either that or I will make a better shpping cart hack for gallery.. It will probably still go through pay pal since they are way cheaper than any of the other online payment stuff I have been checking out.

Oh and that the above post is pretty much the same as what I did to my gallery. Here is the actual code.

Hi phylo,

I'm trying to hack gallery to have a dropdown list with the products instead of buttons, I find they take up too much space especially if you sell a number of items. The only problem is that I'm new to php and can't seem to figure out the best way to implement it. Right now I'm having a problem with getting the Image number into paypal.

You can check out what I've done so far here at:
http://24.102.175.40/~nuked/modules.php?set_albumName=Proofs&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

and click on 4x6 (it's the only option that works currently, I wanted to get it working perfectly before adding all of the code necessary).

Let me know if you would like to help out with this.

Nevermind, I figured out a better way to implement this. Just add the following code in you're inline_photothumb.frame or inline_photo.footer file depending on where you want the dropdown to show up.

I also added code in to change the pricing if the customer is a member of the website.

Hi,

I have implemented the script above to be used to sell photos online.

Is there a way of adding an option (either by tick box, radio button or a second drop-down) preferably by radio button to allow the user to select glossy or matt finish? These variables then need to be passed into the PayPal cart.

Another thing I want to try and do is use the caption as a variable and pass this into the cart instead of the albumName. This is because I intend users to be able to customise their album with captions. This would give them a *meaningful* reference in the cart whilst still sending me the name of the file that I need in order to fulfil the order.

Any ideas anybody :sad:
