How about you check out DukaPress 2.3.5? This problem is fixed (meaning that the “out of stock” is generated by the software default)

[Kelvin]

Have you tried running DukaPress in “Inquiry Shop Mode”? (this setting si in basic shop settings)

if that does not work then I would recommend modifying slightly the “pay on delivery” payment option i.e. have the customer go through the process as normal but change the words that he sees on the “thank you” page and in the emails sent to him.

Please download currency-converter.php from here: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/dukapress/trunk/lib/ and upload it into your own DukaPress lib folder.

It should work now.

I think you would need to re-write/replace the current connection to PayPal as it is just the standard API.

PayPal have another API where the payment is processed on your site without being redirected but this is currently no included in DukaPress and you would need to write it in.

It is very possible though and should be doable.

[Kelvin]

Please give me a little while – trying to get a fix for this.

Hmmm, it is pretty straight-forward to do if you know a little bit of CSS 🙂 because all of the checkout page element has “CSS hooks” that you can tap into and style your page the way you want it to be.

Alternatively, please consider purchasing: http://dukapress.com/products/styles/ (it is the tool that generates the page you linked to).

Responses:

1. Displaying the product on the checkout.
I presume you mean an image of the product? How would you want this to look/work like?

2. Adding the product code or inventory number. Some sites have so much inventory that it’s faster to look it up by code instead of name.
Actually currently DukaPress does do this, to some extent. For example, when a purchase via PayPal is made, you’ll see that the “Product ID” on PayPal’s end is indeed displayed as the post ID.

Anyway, that aside, it should be fairly easy to do this. We need to add a “SKU” custom field. It would then be possibly to search by SKU since it is possible to include custom fields in WordPress queries of posts. What do you think?

3.A way to display collections for products such as jewelry.
Imagine you have earring that also go well with a necklace and bracelet. You could add a grid at the bottom of the product page and then tell it to display specific items only. Lot of work. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a way to display 3 or 4 pictures of different products that make a collection on the same page? Then you’d have to have a way to add each item separately or as a whole.

Can you please describe this a little more? Do you mean related products (i.e. via categories), or groups of products (i.e. a shirt, tie, and a pair of trousers that make up a suit)

4. A return button. When you’re looking at the product detail page there’s no way other then clicking the return button to get you back to the previous page.

Thanks for this idea. I think it is something fairly possible. Different pages have different URLS e.g. http://timamu.com/?dpage=2 would be for the second page in the list view of products. SO it should be possible to build a new function that takes you back to the last URL you visited on the site.

BUT it will not work (at least not in this form) if you have “random” as your product order method of choice because when you go back to the page, the product order is changed. 😛 Introduces some complexity…

5. A little more style or at least a breakdown of the templates so we can write our own filters and functions.
Thanks for this. We’re starting to work on thsi, thanks to you.

6. Recently I has someone ask if there was a way to set up “bidding” for their one of a kind artwork. Is there a way to add this functionality? Is there a way to set this up with cap limitation? Starting bids? Silent auctions?
Hmm this would have to made as a complete addon for DukaPress. None of the tools to do this easily exist in DukaPress right now. 🙁 But I do believe it is something do-able.

7. And lastly, perhaps a different image display for the single page. Having the images available in a carousel style gallery on the detail page might be a little more attractive.

Hmm, would it be acceptable to take a standard “slideshow” type plugin that works with shortcodes and somehow make it run a slideshow of the product’s attached images?

[Kelvin]

This happens because we assume that the person paying may be from anywhere but the shipping/delivery is done to the specific place defined in shipping.

Currently it does not, by default, work with the billing address… unless you hack it to do so.

[Kelvin]

Sadly, this is not there by default.

We’re using the standard WordPress “orderby” functionality which only takes:
-date
-title
-post ID

This is a part of the WordPress ‘query posts’ function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts

To do what you want to do, you might have to change this to use your own custom function.

[Kelvin]

How do you mean? Are they not displayed on the checkout page as products in the shopping cart?

[Kelvin]

🙁 I am sorry, I did ask for permission to change things before, didn’t I?

(The only thing I changed was to deactivate the theme and plugins and then reactivate them again – I did not do anything else on the server).

I am sorry again for messing things up. I was only trying to help. :(:(

Please accept my most sincere apologies.

[Kelvin]

Hi Philip

I hope you are well?

Can you please try with the default theme and no other plugins activated? I suspect it may be a javascript conflict caused by another plugin/theme.

Please try this test so that we narrow down the options.

[Kelvin]

Hmmm, I believe this is a bug. I’m sorry that you came across.

We’ll fix shortly and update you.

Thank you once again.

[Kelvin]

Sorry for not responding sooner :(:(

May I please get access to the WordPress admin 9temporary access)

duka(at)dukapress.org

I’ve never really come across this problem so I want to take a real good look. I am sorry again for taking so long.

[Kelvin]

Hmmm, have you turned on the feature in DukaPress settings?
