Custom Product Sort CC4 v1.5

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:21:00 +0000

This CubeCart mod gives you complete control over the display order of products in your storefront categories and also on your store homepage.

First it allows you to set a default sort order, e.g. most recent products first, most popular (views), price, alphabetical, oldest products first.

Then you can quickly and easily rearrange your products if you want them displayed in a different order. To do this you simply enter a sort key for each product, e.g. 10, 20, 30, etc (it is advisable to leave gaps between the sort keys so that future products can be easily sorted into the gaps). Many products can be rearranged simultaneously because the sorting is done through the Admin -> View Products page (you do not have to edit each individual product). You can use the Tab key on your keyboard to jump straight from one sort key field to the next, straight down the column.

New Feature in v1.4 - Default sort order for product listing pages

In previous versions it was only possible to set a default sort order for the homepage products, so for all your other products you had to explicitly put each product into the order you wanted them displayed. Now you can set a default sort order for your product listing pages.

Notes:

Your custom sort order will be applied to the following three areas within your storefront: product listing pages, sale items page, homepage products ("Latest Products").
The mod will not affect custom product listing pages that may have been added to your store, for example the 'Shop by Brand' pages if you have the Brands/Manufacturers mod.

Version: 1.5 (Updated July 19, 2010)

Visual Product Options (and Radio Options) CC4 v1.4

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:11:00 +0000

This CubeCart mod is perfect for many stores that use product options, particular when products come in a variety of colours, fabrics, sizes, etc.

Client stores where you can see this mod in action:

Iddy Biddy Boo

This mod will allow you to illustrate your product options visually with images, it will also allow you to display your product options with radio options, checkboxes and standard drop down selection menus. It comes with around 6 display types built in.

Visual options allow you to illustrate each choice with an image. For example, you may want to use images to show the available colours, or for a store that prints business cards (etc) you could illustrate the different fonts.
Radio options are very useful because a customer can see all of the possible options, so they are more likely to make a correct choice, or purchase additional features/services/etc.
Checkboxes are designed to be used when you want your customer to be able to choose multiple options, and checkboxes also allow your customer to choose no options.

New feature added to v1.4: For products with 'visual' product options, the visual option thumbail will be displayed in the view cart page instead of the default product thumbnail. Or this feature can be disabled.

New feature added to v1.3: You can now setup visual option images that automatically apply to all products, rather than having to setup the images for each individual product.

New features (these features were not in the CC3 version of this mod)

New visual option display type: options are displayed in a drop down list and when selected the visual option image will be displayed in place of the main product image. (Similar to Product Images with Javascript Preview, but with the added benefit that the appropriate colour has already been chosen within the drop down list when the image is displayed)
The administration side of this mod has been improved.

Notes:

Following installation you may want to customize the CSS to match your store skin and thumbnail sizes. This may require basic knowledge of CSS. We offer customization services if you would like us to do this for you.
The images setup for each product option are unique to each product so they currently have to be setup for each individual product.
You can create your own display types for your product options (advanced users only!)

Product Pricing & Individual Quantity Discounts v1.1

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 06:48:00 +0000

This mod allows you to easily setup individual quantity discounts for your products. Admin interface is very quick and easy to use, also allows you to update your product prices if you wish.

Discounts depend on the quantity purchased of a single item, e.g. buy 10 or more of Product A to receive 10% off the price of Product A, buy 20 or more of Product A to receive 15% off the price of Product A.

New feature! If you use product options, you can decide whether to allow customers to mix a variety of different options (sizes, colours) of the product to make up the required quantity for the discount. Also if any product options affect the price, those product option prices will be discounted if you use the percentage discount method.

The quantity discount prices can be displayed on the product information page (see screenshots).
"Preset" quantity discounts can be setup and can be applied to many different products. This allows you to setup your discounted prices much more quickly. (However note that the discounts are still dependent on the quantity of each individual item, not the total quantity of the group of items. If you wish to offer discounts for bulk purchases across a mixed group of products, please refer to our two other quantity discount mods for categories/groups)

Disable automatic sorting of shipping in 4.2.3 onwards v1.0

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:14:00 +0000

In CubeCart 4.2.3 changes were added so that shipping options are always sorted in order of increasing price.

This is not ideal in some circumstances, such as when there are free options such as 'Free Pick Up' which would then be listed first and may be selected by accident by customers. It is also not ideal when you are using my 'All In One' Shipping module since this shipping module already has options for sorting the shipping options (Same order as created, Cheapest first, Most expensive first).

If you are new to CubeCart mods please refer to my Hints & Tips document.

Instructions to disable the automatic sorting of shipping options in CubeCart 4.2.3 and newer versions.

DOWNLOAD and OPEN includes/content/cart.inc.php

Make a BACKUP copy of the file.

FIND this line:

			usort($Shipping, "cmp");

REPLACE with this block:

 			/* start mod: Disable the automatic sorting of shipping options - by Estelle */
			/* usort($Shipping, "cmp"); */
 			/* end mod: Disable the automatic sorting of shipping options - by Estelle */

SAVE and UPLOAD the file.

If a customer has more of Product X than what the maximum order quantity is set to, a message will be displayed on the checkout pages and the quantity of Product X will automatically be decreased (see screenshot 2). The customer will not be able to place an order with more than the maximum order quantity of any products.

A useful feature of this CubeCart mod is that if many of your products have the same maximum order quantity, you can enter this value within the settings and it will apply automatically to all of your products (see screenshots 3 and 4 above). You can then override this and set a different maximum or no maximum for particular products.

Note about product options:

The maximum order quantity is checked per product rather than per size/colour/etc. So for example if a customer adds 5 of 'Product A' in size 'Small' and 15 in size 'Medium', then if the maximum order quantity for 'Product A' is set to 10 the quantities would be changed to 5 of size 'Small' and 5 of size 'Medium'. If you require different behaviour please contact us to discuss customizations.

Show product option notices CC3 v1.0

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:59:00 +0000

This CubeCart mod improves the confusion that can arise with stores that use product options and also have 'Buy' buttons within the category pages (i.e. the product listing pages).

The default CubeCart behaviour is that when viewing a category page and clicking the 'Buy' button for a product with options, the customer would be redirected to the product page. The product is not added to the basket (since the customer needs to choose from the available sizes, colours, etc), however the customer is given no information to explain this. The customer may think that the product was added to their basket.

After installation of this mod the customer will be redirected to the product page and a message will be displayed: "Product options must be selected before this item can be added to the basket".

This code was written by Devellion for CubeCart 4. We have simply backported the code to CubeCart 3 and provided you with easy to follow installation instructions so that you can install these changes to your CubeCart 3 store.

Percentage Prices for Product Options CC4 v1.0

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 00:53:00 +0000

This CubeCart mod allows you to setup product options that have percentage prices. The percentage will be applied to the price (or sale price if the product is on sale). The percentages can add or subtract from the product price. Percentage product options are completely compatible with standard product options.

Example:

Price: $100.00
Product Options:
Warranty:	1 year 3 years (+30%) No warranty (-10%)

If a customer selects the 3 year warranty, the final price will be $130. If a customer selects no warranty, the final price will be $90.

Compatibility:

This mod is completely compatible with all other mods available through this store, including Quick Edit Product Options, Dynamic Product Prices and Visual Product Options (and Radio Options) and more.

Shipping By Item CC4 v1.0

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:45:00 +0000

This CubeCart shipping module requires you to set a unique shipping price for every product in your store. Every product in your store will either have free shipping, a per item shipping rate (see 'Product A' in the example below), or graduated shipping prices (see 'Product B' in the example below). This CubeCart module also has shipping zones, so the shipping price of each product can vary depending on which country/state/province it is being shipped to.

Important Notes:

This shipping module CANNOT be combined with other shipping modules such as my All In One Shipping module or built in modules like USPS, UPS, etc.
If you need to give free shipping or a custom shipping fee to just some products in your store, please see Custom Shipping Fee for Selected Products CC4. Shipping By Item is a standalone shipping module and it cannot be used to set individual shipping prices for some products and have shipping calculated for other products in a different way (e.g. by weight, USPS, UPS, etc).
This module doesn't allow you to set two or more pricing levels for different delivery speeds e.g. regular and express.

Example:

'Product A' ships for $2.00 per item.
'Product B' ships for 1 for $5.00, 2 for $8.00, 3 for $10.00, plus $1.00 for each additional item thereafter.
'Product C' ships for free.

If the basket contained 3 of 'Product A' and 2 of 'Product B' and 10 of 'Product C', the basket shipping cost would then be: 3 x $2.00 + $8.00 + $0.00 = $14.00

Other Features:

You can create shipping zones and charge different product shipping prices for different countries or states/provinces (view the last 2 screenshots above).
You can prevent any of your products from being shipped to a particular country or region by not creating a shipping zone for that area.
You can import shipping rates when using the CubeCart 4 Import Catalogue feature.

Disable 'Customers who bought this also bought' v1.1

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 21:20:00 +0000

Do your product pages load very slowly, more slowly than other pages in your store? This free CubeCart 4 mod may help! The CubeCart 4 feature 'Customers who bought this also bought...' can cause your product pages to load extremely slowly if you have a large number of customer orders in your database.

Note: Instead of using the default 'Customers who bought this also bought...' feature I highly recommend Related Products with Auto Search, which automatically displays other products within your store which are similar to the product the customer is currently viewing, thus increasing sales by showing the customer other products which they are likely to want. This mod also also allows you to manually choose which related products you would like to display for each product in your store.

If you are new to CubeCart mods please refer to my Hints & Tips document.

Instructions to disable the 'Customers who bought this also bought...' feature.

If you are using CubeCart 4.3.0 or a more recent version (e.g. 4.3.1)

DOWNLOAD and OPEN includes/content/viewProd.inc.php file.

Make a BACKUP copy of the file.

FIND this line:

	if($pastOrders) {

REPLACE with this block:

	/* start mod: Disable the 'customers who bought this' feature - by Estelle */
	/* if($pastOrders) { */
	if (false) {
	/* end mod: Disable the 'customers who bought this' feature - by Estelle */

SAVE and UPLOAD the file.

If you are using CubeCart 4.2.3 or an older version (i.e. 4.2.x, 4.1.x, 4.0.x)

DOWNLOAD and OPEN includes/content/viewProd.inc.php file.

Make a BACKUP copy of the file.

FIND this line:

	if (version_compare('4.1', $db->serverVersion(), '<=')) {

REPLACE with this block:

	/* start mod: Disable the 'customers who bought this' feature - by Estelle */
	/* if (version_compare('4.1', $db->serverVersion(), '<=')) { */
	if (false) {
	/* end mod: Disable the 'customers who bought this' feature - by Estelle */

SAVE and UPLOAD the file.

Pro Image Manager CC4 v1.5

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 08:24:00 +0000

This image manager mod allows you to upload many images, instantly link the uploaded images with one of your products, organize your images into folders, list the images in a particular folder only, and more! It has advanced functionality, and yet its very easy to install.

This mod provides all the same functionality as my popular "Pro Image Manager" for CubeCart 3, but also allows unlimited depth of subfolders.

Demo:

Not currently available, please view all of the screenshots above and contact us if you have any questions.

Features:

Create folders for sorting your images into, manage folders, delete folders
Upload an unlimited number of images at once - select each of the images, click upload, then get on with your other work!
You can then instantly link the set of uploaded images with an existing product - this feature alone is a massive time saver!! The mod will setup the first uploaded image as the primary product image (if the product doesn't yet have a primary image) and all other images are setup as additional/secondary product images. This feature is shown in the first screenshot above.
Allows you to move multiple images between folders, so you can organize images that have already been uploaded.
Any images which are corrupt or have a filesize of 0 bytes are highlighted clearly in red within the "Manage Images" page.
Very easy installation - upload new files, make minor changes to 2 existing files, and you're done!
Designed with maximum compatibility in mind.
Fully compatible with my Product Images with Javascript Preview mod ("Product Images with Javascript Preview" affects the storefront, whereas "Pro Image Manager" affects the admin area).

Version: 1.5 (Updated December 11, 2008 - Updated installation instructions for compatibility with 4.3.0 onwards, no need to upgrade if you are running 4.2.3 or earlier versions. Previous version 1.4 released September 18, 2008 - Fixed CubeCart bug #1098 (Not able to upload image if same image exists in a different folder), Fixed CubeCart bug #1114 (Unable to delete images from folders), Fixed CubeCart bug #1201 (Rebuild of image database fails when there is an image in a subfolder))

Customer Groups - Product Prices CC4 v1.1

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:00:00 +0000

This CubeCart mod allows you to setup customer groups and for each customer group you can set different product prices.

You can create any number of customer groups (e.g. wholesale, distributors, etc) and you can assign any of your customers to one of these groups. For each product you can set the exact price that each customer group will pay for that product.

When a customer is assigned a group and is logged in, they will then see their custom price displayed within the product details pages. (Note that other storefront pages - category pages, homepage, etc - will still show default prices).

When the customer adds an item to their basket, the correct price for their customer group will be displayed within the shopping cart box and within the checkout pages. Within the checkout pages, below the totals, the customer will be told the total customer discount that they have received (displayed in dollars or their selected currency).

Important notes:

Price display - The customer's special price is only displayed within the product details pages and within the cart. The customer's special price is not displayed within the category (product listing) pages and on the store homepage etc..
Product Options - The price of any product options will not be affected, the specific prices that you set only affect the base product price. Please consider Customer Groups - Percentage Discounts instead or contact me to discuss your needs.

Integration with other mods:

This mod is not yet integrated with Dynamic Product Prices, so currently the customer group price ('Your Price') will not be dynamically updated, whereas the regular price or sale price will be dynamically updated in the usual way.
This mod is fully integrated with Product Quantity Discounts. When installed together your product prices can be adjusted depending on both the quantity purchased and the customer group. Screenshots:
This mod has (or will be) fully integrated with the following customer group mods and discount mods. To avoid customers receiving excessive discounts when combining deals, care has been taken to ensure that each product is only discounted once by any quantity discount mods and once by any customer group mods.
- Customer Groups - Percentage Discounts
- Product Quantity Discounts
- Package Deals / Product Bundles (check homepage to see if this CubeCart mod has been released)
- Category Quantity Discounts (check homepage to see if this CubeCart mod has been released)

Version: 1.1 (Updated December 11, 2008 - Fixed bug where customer group price is ignored if default product price was set to zero or anything lower than the customer group price)
