Hi,
I love eStore plugin, but have some technical issue(s) with it. First and most important:
I want to display a buy now button on standalone HTML page.
I followed the directions in http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-estore-miscellaneous-tweaks-215 page. However, when I try to find the HTML code from WP Edit page and/or edit post I can only see shorcode like [wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:22:end] on both visual AND html view. How can I get access to actual HTML code of this ? Thanks, Taika
You preview the post or page from the editor or publish it (whatever you prefer). This will let you view the page from the front end (as if a visitor is viewing the page). When you view the page from the front end the shortcode will get rendered and you will be able to click view source in your browser and view the HTML source.
Following from admin’s comment here’s an example of what a single buy now button would like if you wanted to paste it in html:
<object class=”eStore_button_object”><form action=”https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” onsubmit=”return ReadForm1(this, 2);”><input type=”hidden” name=”product_name_tmp1″ value=”test product” /><input type=”hidden” name=”price_tmp1″ value=”0.01″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_xclick” /><input type=”hidden” name=”charset” value=”utf-8″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”test@gmail.com” /><input type=”hidden” name=”item_name” value=”test product” /><input type=”hidden” name=”amount” value=”0.01″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD” /><input type=”hidden” name=”item_number” value=”6″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”no_shipping” value=’1′ /><input type=”hidden” name=”notify_url” value=”http://www.yourdomain.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php” /><input type=”hidden” name=”return” value=”http://www.yourdomain.com/wp/thank-you/” /><input type=”hidden” name=”mrb” value=”3FWGC6LFTMTUG” /><input type=”hidden” name=”cbt” value=”” /><input type=”hidden” name=”page_style” value=”” /><input type=”hidden” name=”rm” value=”2″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”custom” value=”ip=215.43.60.237&subsc_ref=Premium” id=”eStore_custom_values” /><input type=”submit” class=”eStore_buy_now_button” value=”Buy Now” /></form></object>
Note, as per admin’s suggestion above, you would extract your particular button code by viewing the source of the wordpress post page where you initially put the button.
That worked fine, even with custom buy button graphic, thanks a lot. Few more questions: is this possible with forced Agree to terms function ? I tried, but it just took me to paypal page without needing to agree when I pushed the buy button, so I just got rid of the agree terms code for that particular product. Would be cool tho if I could add Agree to terms function (I use it on my store so the customers has to agree to terms = mainly agree to optin to my email list(s) but would like to also add to some of my standalone landing pages products)
Also,
I tried the same method on WordPress custom page template, but when I tested the buy button it took me to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr and after that nothing happened, just a blank white page. What could I have been missing…? How can I add correct html code to WP custom page template ?
Also, just out of curiosity why does the code include MY IP address / why do I need to put it in code ?
Thanks,
Taika
Hi Taika,
Regarding your question – “is this possible with forced Agree to terms function?”
Yes it is possible but remember that you are not using the button on a WordPress page as intended so to add this you will need to manually add JavaScript code. If you are not a coder then I won’t recommend using this option. Be sure to include the javascript code and references with your button.
For instance as well as the code for your button you will need to also put things like the following:
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/lib/jquery.external.lib.js?ver=3.2.1'></script>
<p>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(function() {
$('.t_and_c_error').hide();
$(".t-and-c").click(function(){
if($(".t-and-c").is(':checked'))
{
$.cookie("eStore_submit_payment","true",{path: '/'});
$('.t_and_c_error').hide();
}
else
{
$.cookie("eStore_submit_payment","false",{path: '/'});
}
});
$(".eStore_paypal_checkout_button").click(function(e){
if(!$(".t-and-c").is(':checked'))
{
$('.t_and_c_error').show();
e.preventDefault();
}
});
$(".eStore_buy_now_button").click(function(e){
if(!$(".t-and-c").is(':checked'))
{
$('.t_and_c_error').show();
e.preventDefault();
}
});
$(".eStore_subscribe_button").click(function(e){
if(!$(".t-and-c").is(':checked'))
{
$('.t_and_c_error').show();
e.preventDefault();
}
});
$(".free_download_submit").click(function(e) {
// Non-Ajax free download squeeze page button clicked...
if(!$(".t-and-c").is(':checked')) {
// T&C checkbox not set...
$('.t_and_c_error').show(); // Show error message.
e.preventDefault(); // Prevent default action.
}
});
});
});
</script>
</p>
Regarding the IP address inclusion – You don’t need to put it there. It will still work if you remove the whole tag with id “eStore_custom_values”. I believe this is generated by the plugin itself and not strictly needed when talking to paypal because it is an “optional” field.
Regarding your custom page template issue I don’t know the answer to that so might have to think about it and get back to you if I find a solution
If you are not a coder then the following might be an easier option:
Simply add something like the following just below or above the button (make the “terms and conditions” a link to your terms page):
“By clicking on the buy button you agree to our terms and conditions”
