Cartweaver Help

Has anyone that is using Cartweaver figured out a way how to
add previous/next links to the Details.cfm page? Cartweaver
provides this functionality for the Results.cfm page (Product
Listing in specific category or search) but not the Details.cfm
page (Detailed information about a specific product)
My client would really like the customer to be able to click
to the next product in a category instead of clicking the back
button to the category and then selecting the next product.
Thanks in advance to all.
Anthony

Can anyone help with Cartweaver

I just recently bought the Cartweaver extension for
Dreamweaver and am having a few hiccups getting it up and running.
Anyone out there able to help?

I just recently bought the Cartweaver extension for
Dreamweaver and am having a few hiccups getting it up and running.
Anyone out there able to help?

I am getting double ;; when I setup a form for Cartweaver

I have installed a full version of DW CS5 and I am trying to use Cartweaver to set up a store.
I don't think that Cartweaver is the problem. I think it is something in DW setup that is generating the problem.
Before I do the setup on the applicaiton.php file, I have this:
$cwGlobalSettings->hostname = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->database = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->databaseUsername = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->databasePassword = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->websiteURL = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->websiteSSLURL = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->onSubmitAction = "GoTo";
$cwGlobalSettings->targetResults = "results.php";
After I do the setup of the application.php file, I get this:
hostname = "local host";
$cwGlobalSettings->database = "dkselect_cw";
$cwGlobalSettings->databaseUsername = "dekselect_dan";
$cwGlobalSettings->databasePassword = "$apple3";
$cwGlobalSettings->websiteURL = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->websiteSSLURL = "";
$cwGlobalSettings->onSubmitAction = "Confirm";
Can someone tell me how to stop DW CS 5 from generating the double ;

Hi Turbo,
Could you post this to the Cartweaver Community Forum: http://forums.cartweaver.com
Or open a support ticket at: http://support.cartweaver.com
This is not something we have seen and there's a lot of developers using CW with CS5, so there must be something amiss with you install or set up. We have folks that would be happy to help.

What are the differences between Cartweaver CF and PHP?

I am on my final step of finishing the webpage that I am building and saw Cartweaver for a shopping cart that is compatible with dreamweaver. But I looked into the site and hey didnt give an explanation between the CF and PHP version. So I would like to know the differences and which one would work best with Dreamweaver Cs6.

Hi Kendall,
As far as application differences, functionality wise, there is no difference. Both Cartweaver 4 CF and Cartweaver 4 PHP function and present themselves exactly the same. As far as implementation there are very subtle differences due the the way CF and PHP work, but they both are very close and use "includes" to place the Cartweaver functionality in your site penetration pages. The web based store admins work exactly the same for both. So you get the same results no matter which direction you go.
Now what is the difference between PHP and ColdFusion? That is a very important question as it will impact what platform you use from now on - for this site, and possably future sites you build so this is worth taking a little time to consider.
Which is best? Well this could lead to a discussion like which is best Mac or PC? There are evangelists and zealots on both sides. The real truth of the matter is both are good choices, you just need to decide which is best, for you. One poster said "what does your host support" - good point, but if you are new to working with dynamic web sites and are deciding what platform you want to go with there are more important factors to consider than what your current host supports. You can always select a different host.
The biggest difference between CF and PHP is they way they are written - PHP is script pasted, much like JavaScript, CFML is tag based much like html. Because of this CFML is often a little easier to learn because it's a bit easier to look at something and figure out what it's doing. So you may want to take a little time looking at this aspect.
Fact is though, with either one because Cartweaver does the vast majority of anything to do with code for you, learning the language is something you may not choose to do anyway. An advantage to PHP is that it has much wider support, so finding developers to help out, or hosts can easier with PHP. So if you don't have any desire to dig in and learn code as you go and only want to learn what's necessary to get your shopping cart site up, then the steps and learning curve are pretty much the same and PHP may be a good way to go. If this raises more questions than it answerers, let me know I'd be happy to discuss this more with you offline.
So, back to the basics - from a functionality point, they are both the same. You only need to choose which platform you think will work best for you and go from there.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions at all, ask away.

Web album help

I need some help with Dreamweaver. All the questions pertain
to the "create web photo album" function.
1) When i click on a picture, it opens up a the picture and
the navigation menu. Is it possible to change the back ground from
white to something else? if so ,where do I do it?
2) Is there a way for the album to show the file name WITHOUT
adding the .jpg extension to each picture?
I plan on adding pictures to my album. How an I add them so
the new pics show at the top of the page. The only way I can figure
out how to add is to recreate tthe album each time.
But that still doesnot let me control where the pics are.
Thanks

I agree 100% with David - please don't use the photo album in Dreamweaver it's just bad on so many levels. Don't worry - even Adobe is aware of how bad it is.
Fortunately there are many very good alternatives out there. For commercial software the Project Seven Dreamweaver extensions are stellar! for open source choices there are a number of jQuery based image galleries that will make your pages shine. Here are a few...
This one is really nice...
http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyPhoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
Here's a page that has a number of other options...
http://www.noupe.com/jquery/50-amazing-jquery-examples-part1.html
ALL of them are far better than the current baked in Dreamweaver option.

CyberSource and Cartweaver

I need help getting a CF version of the Cartweaver shopping
cart to interact with the "Hosted Order Page" implementation of the
CyberSource credit card processing system. CyberSource doesn't
support ColdFusion, so I need to figure out how to use the
CyberSource-supplied PHP "security script" to send form data from a
CF page to the CyberSource server.
Here's the sample page, for what the shopping cart would look
like in PHP. As you can see, it appears staightforward, though I'm
just not sure how this can be done if my cart is in CF:
<?php include("HOP.php") ?>
<html><body>
<h1>sample_product_name</h1>
<p>Here, you enter the description of your
product.</p>
<form
action="https://orderpagetest.ic3.com/hop/orderform.jsp"
method="post">
<?php InsertSignature3("10.00", “usd”,
“sale”) ?>
<input type="hidden" name="orderPage_transactionType"
value="sale">
<input type="hidden" name="billTo_firstName"
value="John">
<input type="hidden" name="billTo_lastName"
value="Doe">
<input type="hidden" name="billTo_email"
value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="merchantDefinedData1"
value="ship">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Buy Now">
</form>
</body></html>

Most of it can be used as-is. I'm fairly certain the first
php tag can be removed but I'm not sure what this line does:
<?php InsertSignature3("10.00", “usd”,
“sale”) ?>
Maybe see if they have an ASP example...

Using cartweaver with dreamweaver cs3

cartweaver seems like a decent out of the box ecommerce
solution, but how is it while using dreamweaver. Is it easy to
integrate the code into the existing pages? Is it a series of
include files that require a hand coders touch to modify
successfully to look seamless with existing site?

Hello,
I use Cartweaver but have not used eCart, though I have heard
many good
things about it.
There's a lot of good info on both websites.
Perhaps someone will describe their experience with eCart.
I can talk about CW.
First, let me say the support is excellent.
I would suggest you take a look through the CW newsgroup.
It's a great way
to see what kind of questions people are asking so you can
get a feel for
what it can and can't do. This will really help you, I think.
news://support.cartweaver.com/
Read the PHP newsgroup, specially posts by "Tom Muck"
I currently use the ASP version, but I think the PHP version
may be a better
choice.
The reason is that there appears to be more users and thus,
more scripts and
modifications available, posted in the newsgroups, to do some
very nice
things.
CW is very easy to set up. Run the extension and it loads all
needed pages
into your site in DW.
It adds a nice toolbar in DW where you can easily insert
functions on any
page.
The admin section is very thorough and intuitive.
The clients I have love it.
It's simple to add or edit products, photos, options, skus
and so on. You
can change the layout of the result pages just by selecting
how many columns
you want on the page, and there are a number of other
options.
It's easy to look at customer and order information as well.
To implement CW into your design, it's very easy to change
the CSS in the
included stylesheet.
To change functions or certain aspects of the layout, you do
need to get
into the code a bit.
For example, you can set the results pages to show x amount
of products per
page with a simple entry in the Admin section.
If there are more products than allowed to be shown on one
page, a "paging
links" menu allows navigation to next page. It is a simple
"Previous, 1, 2,
3, Next" text menu.
I wanted to make this look like buttons, so I had to go into
the script that
draws this on the page and change the code to insert
<li> instead of just
inserting text. I also had to change the script to use an
unordered list for
the menus instead of plain text links with line breaks
between them.
This wasn't very hard to do, but it depends on your
understanding of server
side language. Again though, any questions I've asked in the
newsgroup or
through a support ticket were answered very quickly and were
very specific.
"Change line 86 in something.asp to this", for example.
There are a couple of things CW doesn't do that I hope will
be in future
versions:
Ability to use PayPal's Website Payment's Pro.
Ability to link to UPS, FedEx, etc to get real time shipping
charges. I know
there can be issues with this, but some clients want it.
As far as what you can do with CW or eCart, definitely take a
look at their
customer examples:
http://www.cartweaver.com/customers/sitesusingcw.cfm
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=123
Then click "showcase".
Here is a site I just did with CW, if interested:

Take care,

E-commerce solution : Cartweaver ou WebAssist ?

Hi,
My site is currently based on Interakt products (MX Kommerce
etc) and as all support from Interakt has now ceased and since most
of their products have been discontinued, I have to look around for
an alternative solution. Some people on the Interakt forms
recommended Web Assist which does seem to have an impressive list
of products designed to replace Interakt's. However, I have seen
quite a bit of negative feedback from others who say Web Assist's
products simply do not work. Are there any Web Assist clients here
who could give me their point of view ? Another possible solution
is Cartweaver which is cheaper to buy and appears to be simpler.
But Cartweaver appears to be geared towards simple sites with few
categories, products and product options whereas my site has many.
Again I'd be interested on hearing from Cartweaver customers and
also to see some Cartweaver-based sites.
I like the idea of a simple, eg Cartweaver, solution but it
shouldn't be too simple meaning I'd have to add loads of custom
code to make it suit my needs -I'm no programmer !).
Cheers

I have built 2 stores with Web Assists eCart,
http://store.dmcworld.com
and
http://www.aclighting.com/shop
I had to get my head into the code to get what I wanted out
of the
tools, and I found several bugs which were quickly fixed by
the
excellent support. What you have to remember about eCart is
that it is a
tool to help *you* build your shop that you *you* want it.
You need to
know what pages go where and how you want them to work, you
then use the
Web Assist tools to help you create the shop.
Web Assist suffers from the same marketing problems that
Dreamweaver
does, it makes people who know next to nothing think they can
use it to
make an all singing all dancing shop without any hand coding.
I have helped people in there forums, and have seen the
number of
frustrated users who expect the software to do it all for
them. It
doesn't, but with a bit of research first, you will make
excellent use
of the tools and create some really nice shops.
Before the 2 I made I had never even thought about how a
online shop
should work, but I still managed to make successful shops.
The first one
has been online for about 3 years now, and is doing very
well, the
second on is only 3 months old and its got some way to go
yet, there is
much more that we are going to do with it.

Shopping Cart - Help?

I'm new to web design, and self taught, so go easy on me, haha. I have a site up, that sells organic mattresses and I need to add a shopping cart to it so customers can purchase online. I've added a buy now button and I want that to take them to another page where they can customize the bed and then purchase it online. You can look at it if you'd like; www.dremata.com
I have a google checkout account, which comes with a shopping cart widget but it's limited and I need a shopping cart with more options/more customizeable because there are a lot of different options the customer can pick that effect price.
I've been googling shopping carts for 6 hours now. Everything I've found turns out to be an entire online store. Which I'm not looking for, because I've already designed my website and set up the product pages. I'm just looking to add a shopping cart. I can't, for the life of me, find a premade shopping cart that I can just add to my site. At this point, I'm assuming I'm really ignorant on the subject and you can't do that?
I don't know too much about shopping carts, or how they work. So if anyone could help me out, let me know what my options are and the different ways to add a shopping cart, I'd really appreciate it!
- Thanks

You've made a common newbie mistake of putting the wagon ahead of the horse. Ideally, you should build your site pages within your shopping cart system. IOW, the product IDs, descriptions, prices, options, etc... are stored in server-side databases. Content is dynamically populated to your site pages. This is the price of doing things on your own without first consulting an expert. All is not lost though. Find out which programming languages your server supports (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion...)
Have a look at Cartweaver and Web Assist They each have e-commerce extensions that can be used with DW.
Good luck,

Is cartweaver available for dreamweaver cs6

I have been trying to find Cartweaver within Adobe Extensions for Dreamweaver CS6, but although I've just downloaded all updates, it doesn't appear in the list. Is it no longer available? I can see PHP shopping cart, but has this replaced Cartweaver?
Thanks.

Hi Linda,
Yes please do pop over to the Cartweaver user forums. Handling detailed information would be more appropriate there.
Briefly, there has been an update since the Lynda.com course was done - just a small on to make things easier. After installing Cartweaver into your site and once you have created a new blank database, and set you data connection, just brows to your admin. The first time you do this you will be presented with the create database page - click the button and all the Cartweaver tables and data will be added to your database.
For any more details feel free to ask on the CW user forums or email me or support,
Hope this was helpful. Thanks!

Need help... adding database record

I'm setting up a shopping cart with dreamweaver, coldfusion,
and cartweaver. This is the final page the customer sees before
they hit the place order button:
What I'm trying to do is add a text field in this page, where
the customer can input specifications for the item he/she has
ordered, and it is sent to my database. I appreciate any
help.

Swing components are implemented using a design pattern called MVC - Model View Controller. The View is simply the visual representation of the Model, where all the good stuff is stored, namely the state of the component. (And the Controller glues everyhing together.)
The JTextComponent uses a javax.swing.text.Document as its model. What you can do is get access to your component's model, and from that get access to the text contained in the Document. Once you have that text, the easiest thing you can do is do an indexOf() search.

Please help in adding a P7 menu to this site

I inherited this site, for a friend - http://www.stlbandb.com
I want to add a P7 menu at the top, but break the site when doing so. I'm old school, tables, and am lost in this CSS world. All I want to do is replace current navigation at the top with this new navigation - http://www.stlbandb.com/menu_test2.html.
I don't want any other changes, just the navigation at the top. Please give any advice you can to make this happen with minimal changes

Looks like you are getting closer since you posted this since the site isn't broke, but the alignment still needs some help.
The PVII menus are all CSS formatted, so you'll need to get more familiar with CSS... Which is a good thing anyway - the "old school" table based world is going away and will start costing you business eventually. Fortunately, with PVII's menus as with most CSS driven menus they are simply formatting an unordered list so once you get the hang of it they are incredibly flexible.
What I did to get really familiar with these menus is create a new blank site in Dreamweaver and just create a single HTML page and add nothing else. Then add a PVII menu to the page and see what happens, which folders and files were added to the site. Then go in and start playing with it, first in the PVII server behavior in Dreamweaver - from the PVII menu. Then by clicking through the PVII CSS in Dreamweaver's CSS panel and making small edits then looking at them in Dreamweaver and previeing them in both Firefox and IE. After a few ah ha! moments you'll begin to see how it all works and you'll be much better equipped to quickly add menus to your sites and know just how to style them.
Hope this helps.

Help with the Header.

Whenever I change the header size in one page, it changes the header size in every page I have.
How do I fix this!?!? Is it in the CSS or HTML!?!?
Very new to web designing any help would be awesome
Thank you

This would be a CSS issue. If you want the header text to be a different size on one particular page and then another size on the rest of the site, you should create a style for the one page and then use the standard header style for the rest of the pages. this is common, having the header on the home page different than the rest - so doing this is pretty normal. you could just create a style for the home page header like this
.homepage-header {
          background-color: #ADB96E;
          font-size: 36px;
          font-weight: bold;
or you could wrap the home page header in a div and create a child style like this
.homepage-header {
.homepage-header h1{
background-color: #ADB96E;
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: bold;
Then wrap the header tag in a div using the homepage header style - this way you still have the SEO benefits of using the H tag as your page header.
Hope this helps.

Cartweaver ColdFusion 3

Hi,
I am new to Cartweaver ColdFusion 3 and I have no clue how it
works. I watched the Lynda.com for shopping cart, which basically
uses cartweaver for the whole thing. I read through the document
that came with the purchase of cartweaver. But I have no clue how
to use it. I have my site designed out and I just need to put the
shopping cart icon, the "buy" icon, the "register for new user"
icon, and things like that in. But I have no clue how to use it. I
been playing around with cartweaver for hours and it's still going
no where. I tried putting the "result" provided by cartweaver into
a page, but after I saved it and opened it back up, everything was
out of order. The tables are a mess. Please help!
Thank you!!!!

Have you tried their support forums? I think they are NNTP
only but the
address is news://support.cartweaver.com and there are
several forums.

Can i use cartweaver for my own products or we can use the available products only in the cartweaver

You would want to add your products to the Cartweaver database using the web based admin.
As with any dynamic application, the database is the foundation on which the whole application is built, so the data structure is unique to the application. Trying to fit an "outside" database under the application is like trying to slip a different foundation under a building that is already built... While it may be "possible" it's never a good idea and so much code is written to try to accommodate this that the app becomes bloated with code that has little to do with the targeted application function - that being e-commerce.
You'll find that the Cartweaver database is very accommodating and you will be able to add whatever products you have, then proceed from there.
If you have more detailed questions I'd be more than happy to answer them, just pop me an e-mail directly at:
lawrence at cartweaver dot com
Hope you find this helpful.
