Hello :o)

Hi all,

New here.
I am very interested in the shopping cart.
Seems like a very cool thing.
I don't know php at all(yet...)
I want to use this for use with paypal.
Unfortunatly, I'm still not sure of all questions I need to ask,
much less any answers. eeeks...sorry 'bout that.
I can do some flash stuff, but I'm way better with swish.

I am able to ask a couple questions, so far.
1. Which thread would be the right one for
posting questions about the cart?
2.Do you have a version of this cart that is scaled back a bit?
I don't need the animations really. Maybe something with just the bare basics?
3.Do you have a version that is pretty much ready for paypal?

I mostly can be found over at http://www.designsxchange.com/forums/

Hi Larry, I think the shopping cart application is more for learning purposes. The key thing I have found out is to focus more on the architecture and philosphy behind this app. It would be greatly beneficial to your skills if you go through all the code and take out what you don't need. In fact, a lot of code is reusable and, and the same methodoligies can be applied into other applications for building killer dynamic content.

If you are looking for a full-fledge paypal payment gateway solution with PHP, go through this tutorial. By far the best, and can be easily integrated.

Good luck and happy holidays.

Hi Larry,
welcome at the boards.
If you are a beginner, you should try to do one tutorial after the other.
Not for copying the functions, but for understanding the structure behind the solutions.
You will find lots off AAAAAs and OOOOOs trying to modify the code and learn a lot.
If you get stuck, just ask the board. This works perfectly.

But first, have a nice christmas

Oooo...this looks good.
Thanks for the link.
I'm kindof in a rush for this one,
So I'm going simple for now.
However, this may help get me a start to
get to where I want to be.
Goal:
To make one with SwishMax.
But to do that, I need to learn the flashmx one,
and the php stuff.
Thanks, and I'll get to these now, after the holidays.

Talk to'ya soon.
