ballhogjoni Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have made some additional changes to the program, please give me some feedback on whether this Free Shopping Cart is a good idea. I hope to make this as big as stat counter. I will be installing google maps into the program soon so you can view, graphically, where all the visitors and buyers are located. If you have any other ideas that wouold be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I dont have a clue about this kind of stuff, but it seems a good idea to me. I was testing it for any errorrs or smth: When i clicked HTML CODE it showed a blank page. Then i entered CONFIGURATION and selected a button for my cart and entered a merchant id (non existant), after that the html code could show up. Also i created an item and when editing it, it told that the description had illegal chars, even if it was just Title: Wacom, Description: Wacom Tablet. Also the price isnt validating when adding an item. I entered 'asdasd' and it submited, adding just 0.00 to the price. Appart from these small things, it worked pretty fine. Nice job.

ballhogjoni Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 When i clicked HTML CODE it showed a blank page. When you say you clicked the HTML Code page, did it not show any thing like the navagation or did it just not show any products? It would make since if it showed the navagation but no products, but if it was a complete blank page I have an error somewhere. Can you help me understand a little bit more of what was going on? Thanks for your help and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yep it showed a blank page when i click HTML Code. Maybe u got a query and die() somewhere. As i said, after i selected a button for my cards, the html code worked correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballhogjoni Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 what it was is that I had a if statement that made it so not other code would run until you set your cart image. basically the if statement was in the wrong spot, but its fixed. I reset your account so you can see that it will show the navagation and a nice error message if you go to the html code page before setting the add to cart image.

ballhogjoni Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Ok the question is how would I let thousands of people know about the hosted shopping cart for free? Anybody have good ideas. I am not looking to do adwords or anything like that, because this service is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningstrike Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Well firstly I noticed your freeCart already has a Signed SSL Certificate. Considering this is a shopping cart everything should be very secure. So I strongly suggest you make the login page SSL as well as the page it's POST's the data to just like you made the registration page secure. Use .htaccess file to force users to use https on those pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightningstrike Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Create a .htaccess file or edit the one in the folder of your login/registration pages folder and put this in. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} file.php RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L] I believe that should force it.

mattd8752 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 404 on why is it free, privacy policy, terms and conditions. Forget password needs an explanation, I don't know to enter email or username from that form. The images are missing. I recommend writing something like [Register Now] below the login. It looks out of place in the top bar. On the register page, I think it should follow the same template. Also, it is hard to read the black on the dark gray. Lastly, for terms and conditions on the register page, confirming email looks like a condition, and in my opinion the words terms and conditions should link to a pop up with the terms and conditions.

Yes you are correct. The whole formatting part will be finished when the beta testing is complete. Thx for the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd8752 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Oh, and I just noticed. It doesn't ask for your name (which you might want to know in case their was a legal issue). I also saw this blurb: Why do you need to know my name? We provide a very pleasant personalised service - being addressed by your name when you use the service makes it all the more enjoyable. No point in having that if you don't ask the name. And personalized is mis-spelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
