Topic: Alternative Shop plugin now available on Github

I didn't realize that nakome was working on a shop plugin and have been working on my own. My plugin is now available on Github.

Many thanks to both Awilum and nakome. Plugin is based on Guestbook and learning from many of nakome's plugins.

https://github.com/thoncs/monstrahost-shop

The plugin uses minicart.js and accepts paypal. Nakome's plugin is much more advanced, but if you want a simple shopping cart plugin, this might just do the trick. You'll have to use paypal for managing orders.

__Download__

Current Limitations:
-no product options (i.e. sizes or colors)
-image is only a url field, not file upload
-no image resizing (optimize your images first)
-variables might clash with nakome's plugin
-uninstalling drops the whole shop table
-needs bootstrap.js

Public frontend can be seen at http://www.monstrahost.com/shop

I will work on putting up a demo with admin access to see the backend administration page.

Re: Alternative Shop plugin now available on Github

great and simple could be a nice mini shop for 1 page website

p\s i think its better to make a button "continue shopping" instead of "x"
so this is a digital online shop right after paying u will get a link to download? cause i cant understand how and where someone could put their address

Re: Alternative Shop plugin now available on Github

Shop is currently setup for physical items only. The order submission to paypal tells paypal to require a shipping address from the buyer. Order management would be done at paypal's website.

(For digital items, I've found gumroad.com very easy to use with Monstra.)

Re: Alternative Shop plugin now available on Github

shop-currency (snippet need to be made) have not understand how it works anyway.
would be nice to have ability to upload photo not to put image link
the error notification does not look like a monstra one, i mean it look weird and its so low down u have to scroll to it to understand that something going wrong
also could u please separate the add\edit product from the list of all products, cause its kinda all stuck together.

thanks
