============================================================================================

Vibracart WYSIWYG Web Builder extension

Drop in replacement for Paypal's shopping cart
If you use Paypal's add to cart buttons on your site then get rid of that cumbersome cart page that opens in a new window on each button click and replace it with Vibracart Paypal. Vibracart can hover above or be embeddedin your page keeping your clients on your site until they are ready to checkout. Your clients will love the new cart that works so much faster and smoother using AJAX. It is easy to add to your site and works with all the features you currently use in your buttons (such as options and tax etc) and of course will work with any number of pages on your site. Vibracart is cross browser compatible (back to IE6) and even works on Safari on the iPhone. Older browsers will degrade gracefully to use Paypal's own cart as before.

Features
No SQL Database required by this extension
•Simple to install into any page (doesn't need to be .php)
•The visual interface of the cart is configurable to match your site.
•Works seamlessly with WYSIWYG Webbuilder ecommerce paypal system or existing Paypal add to cart buttons.
•Works as either a popup cart (not in a new window) or an embedded cart inserted in your page.
•Supports all of Paypal's button features such as options, discounts and weight calculations.
•Generally works with all modern browsers including iPhone Safari.
•Cart works across any number of pages on your site.
•Total cost, number of items in cart and links to display the cart and checkout can be displayed anywhere on your page

Requirements
Vibracart Paypal works on most Linux or Windows servers whether shared or dedicated. Just check that the server has PHP 4 or PHP 5 installed (most do).

Great tool ME but the price is too steep considering that WWB itself costs around $44.99!!!! You are unlikely to shift any at that price. Also bear in mind that you have made a Wrapper for something that is FREE and can easily be implemented into WWB without the need for this extension.

Buddy!!!!
This isnt a free script! It costs USD29.95
See this:http://www.vibralogix.com/vibracartpp/

infact the buyer is not paying a dime for the extension development.

In fact, goto http://www.vibralogix.com/vibracartpp/index.php and read the last point in the "Features"
It is mentioned "•There is a special version of Vibracart available for the WYSIWYG Web Builder available from lucknowwebs.com"

I Don't! It is all part of the package. What I am saying it is like a plugin for Photoshop costs more than half of Photoshop itself. Anyway I have said my piece and I wish ME all the best.

me.prosenjeet · Post by **me.prosenjeet** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 3:50 pm

Neil,
You maybe correct but I look at it in a different way. When I am doing a normal site I charge the client about USD 300 that in itself it more than 6 times the actual cost of Webbuilder and if I add a cart to it add another USD 100-150 to it depending upon the products added etc. So a site with ecommerce actually goes upto USD300+100 = USD400. Now when I am geting that amount or in that case even USD250-300, I will not mind spending USD29.95 for this script which is unique in itself and as I need not pay for Webbuilder again which stays with me forever.
Though this plugin is extremly simple to use and is actually "plug and play" but this is not a plugin for all and only serious players in webdesigning will be able to analyse its utility.

Lastly, just because Webbuilder is cheap not all things can be cheap that goes with it. Had Webbuilder been USD250+ then this plugin would be justified?
Anyways, I cant help it, the script itself costs USD29.95 and the extension costs the same too....so it is fine

Is this the end of your free extensions now MeProsenjeet, as the last two have been paid?

Shame, because a lot of people make extensions that are very very useful (like Naval's form processor, and other developers like Eddy, Baconfries etc etc etc etc, and including yourself); I'm sure you have taken advantage of other extensions, and other developers mostly donate their extensions for free. They have also helped yourself, in the past, with extensions you wanted to make.

Perhaps paid extensions shouldn't be allowed to be in the index or promoted on the board, as where will the forum go next? Paid to provide advice?

Not knocking you. Just a question.

Nice extension btw.

Valid point ME. I would charge the customer, effectively getting them to pay for it. Despite my rant, I really really like it. Well done.

I am sorry Darren, cant help it friend, as I have already mentioned, this is a paid script that I am using and I have taken license from Vibralogix (the copyright owner of this script) to use it as an extension. If I give it away for free that will be violating their copyright.
If I am using scripts that I get for free, the extensions will come free too. I have not moved into paid but the last two scripts are paid for.

If I provide a demo for download, the full script will go along with the demo project(else it will not work), that unfortunately will be breach of trust from me for the copyright owner Vibralogix. I am sorry you have to refer to the demo in the main post

OK, understand.
(1) The different "product" sides which include your extension(s) require PHP, correct?
(2) The extension(s) work not only for 1 product side. It's also allowed to use the extension over 1...n web sides? And the different orders are collected into one global basket?

See the page has been made with simple html, create "add to cart" button using the Webbuilder ecommerce paypal buttons and paste the cart extension on the page. You may use the extension on as many pages as you want hencecan have n number pages in your cart, the cart keeps updating whenever a product is added/deleted. As per Vibralogix, one script/extrension is allowed to be used for one domain and one paypal account only

Hi, is ther any way to use this whit the original webbuilder webshop?

me.prosenjeet · Post by **me.prosenjeet** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 2:23 pm

See I have not tried it with the Web Shop, though I have tried it with WB ecommerce Paypal "Add to cart" buttons and it works with it. So , it should work

Patrik iden · Post by **Patrik iden** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 3:21 pm

OK. can you try it out on the original webbuilder webshop, so i know if i shold buy it?

If you have a Webshop made with you then send me the project and I shall try it for sure...else I will have to make a Webshop with WB, which is time taking for me

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 3:32 pm

It is meaningless using this with the original Webshop or Webshop plus, as the PayPal Pay Now button is displayed only at the checkout stage, so what's the use of it ? At that point you anyway got to go to PayPal's site to pay.....

Patrik iden · Post by **Patrik iden** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:49 pm

OK, i whas thinking, to use it whit other payment solutions. That i have in the shop.
I cold realy use a cart that one can place in any page whare in the page one wold like. But that works whit what ever payment you use?

I'm use now the Extension into a customer project, works fine. I'm use the Vibracart Popup Chart. Here a feature wish for a future version:
Is there a way to optional include also a small picture (useful dimension, png or other format) for every article into the cart window (window with buttons update and checkout)?

Is there an admin to edit the cart remotely? Or must the cart be edited through WB and the extension only?

No, there is no admin, you need to set it up in WB, anyways there are hardly many settings; they are simple and straightforward

Strodlee · Post by **Strodlee** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:58 am

Thanks for making this extension me.prosenjeet.
Pity there is no try before you buy with this, but never the less even though the price looks a bit steep at first glance I think it would be well worth it for the convenience for the shopper of not having to go back and forth to the PayPal site.
It's good not having to leave the merchants site, but even better not having to leave the page until you are ready to.
(less abandonment could easily cover the cost).

A question please:
Does it have any advantages over the PayPal mini-cart ?

I am sorry I have not tried Paypal mini cart. But my extension certainly is good, as you have pointed already few of the features in your post. And moreover, people are buying and there are all happy with it

View -> document.write("<a href=\"\" class=\"vibracart_widget_view\" onclick=\"showCart(); return(false)\">View</a>\n")

Checkout -> document.write("<a href=\"\" class=\"vibracart_widget_check\" onClick='checkOut(); return(false)'>Checkout</a>\n")

into vibracart.js via Extension Toolkit dialog settings. Thanks.

bourin · Post by **bourin** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 1:45 pm

@me.prosenjeet

(1) for a workarround I have translated some GUI positions into german myself.
vibracart.js
-> document.getElementById("vibracart_widget_items").innerHTML=cart_numitems+" Artikel"
-> document.write("<a href=\"\" class=\"vibracart_widget_view\" onclick=\"showCart(); return(false)\">Korb</a>\n")
-> document.write("<a href=\"\" class=\"vibracart_widget_check\" onClick='checkOut(); return(false)'>PayPal</a>\n")
-> checkout.png
-> updatecart.png

(2) I'm detect that your current Release is not yet allowed to use with german law for online shops. So it's necessary that you inform a customer for your "General terms of business" together with an order. I'm include an workarround into vibracart.js

function checkOut()
{
if (cart_busy)
return
if (cart_numentries==0)
return

alert ( 'Ich habe die AGB und die darin befindlichen Informationen über das Widerrufsrecht gelesen und bin mit deren Geltung einverstanden. Ich habe die Informationen über den Datenschutz gelesen. Achtung: Der Aufruf der nachfolgenden Seite bei PayPal kann mehrere Sekunden dauern. Bitte haben Sie etwas Geduld.' );

...

So it's necessary for an german shop that a customer accept the "General terms of business" together with an order. Perhaps you can include any useful feature for this for next Release.

me.prosenjeet · Post by **me.prosenjeet** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:00 pm

Bourin,
Thanks for your suggestion.

So it's necessary that you inform a customer for your "General terms of business" together with an order.

This is to be added on the pages that the cart is on. This need not be added on the cart itself which works on the background and simply adds/removes products and directs to billing via paypal.

A text can be added on the pages
"Your purchasing from our shop implies that you accept the General terms of Business" (linked to a page with the detailed conditions)

bourin · Post by **bourin** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:12 pm

"... A text can be added on the pages "Your purchasing from our shop implies that you accept the General terms of Business" (linked to a page with the detailed conditions) ..."

I'm affraid this is not enough for german online e-commerce law. I need following solution here:

(1) a customer press the "checkout" button to jump into PayPal area.

(2) Between (1) und (3) - the customer have to accept the General terms of Business, for instance with any checkbox or an messagebox with OK, Cancel. Only if the checkbox is true or the the messagebox is returned via OK it's allowed to jump into (3). So I have placed my workarround for this german situation into your vibracart.js sources.

(3) Now he go into a Paypal side to login into any account.

me.prosenjeet · Post by **me.prosenjeet** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:20 pm

I see what you mean. German market seems to be quite different.
Thanks for pointing that out

As you mention the lines:

Code: Select all

function checkOut()
{
if (cart_busy)
return
if (cart_numentries==0)
return 

alert ( 'Ich habe die AGB und die darin befindlichen Informationen über das Widerrufsrecht gelesen und bin mit deren Geltung einverstanden. Ich habe die Informationen über den Datenschutz gelesen. Achtung: Der Aufruf der nachfolgenden Seite bei PayPal kann mehrere Sekunden dauern. Bitte haben Sie etwas Geduld.' );

Where have you added these lines to vibracart.js?

bourin · Post by **bourin** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:25 pm

"... German market seems to be quite different. ..." - Oh yes, all very hard, laws, laws, laws ...

Will do the update for the german clients soon

UPDATE 20.06.2011
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As suggested by Bourin,
Added the option to add a Terms and Condition Acceptance Splash before the client is passed over to Paypal once he clicks on 'Checkout' button.
Thanks Bourin!

HI Folks
Having problems getting the Vibracart extn to work.
When the 'add to cart' button is pressed it goes straight to paypal,
rather than popping up the shopping cart.
Website is http://www.littleredgate.net/choose.html

Have paid for extn & downloaded the zip file.
Extracted the zip file and ended up with a number of .wbx files
instructions seem to say - "upload the extracted files to the root of your server" -
have uploaded the wbx files but I think this may not be right...

The html is calling for files along the lines of settingsstyle1.js - but I can't seem to find these anywhere on my PC
(which is probably why it's not working ?)

I did email the author earlier - but asking here in case my email didn;t get through, or in the hope
that somebody else has had the same problem and solved it.

Thanks
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I got your mail just now. Please note we are all from different time zones and hence the response time will differ.
Did you go through the detailed help pdf that comes with the extension before starting with it? By reading your mail, it gives me an impression that you have not gone through the "Manual Vibracart WB extension.pdf" help pdf. Because your cart is not at all installed properly.
Further, the issue you are facing, I will respond to your email personally.
