Were do i edit foxycart templates an how do I get it started?

Hi!

I am trying to get foxycart started, but I really cant figure out WERE I am supposed to edit the templates? When I press add to cart nothing happends... the popup cart shows up with a dummy item and the cart lights up with the figure 1.. I have followed the setup guide, what am I doing wrong here?

Is there a guide somewere that describes how to work with foxycart after the account is setup at foxycart admin and jamroom?

Hello,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "edit the templates"?

After FoxyCart is installed you should see a price field when creating/modifying items, ie. audio, video etc..., and that is it. The Jamroom skins are all setup to handle FoxyCart already and you shouldn't have to modify any templates to get FoxyCart to work.

Hope this helps!

Hi!

Thank your for your reply.

Ill try to explain what I am trying to do and why I am looking for templates.

There are 2 questions really:
In short: I want to manipulate prices before checkout and
I can´t see the checkoutpage and items are not added to cart.

*******************************************************************

Question 1: Prices

*******************************************************************

I like to take the price that I assign to a song in create song form

then

Modify the price like if I would buy t-shirts in different colors based on if else statments
(like the dummy products in popup cart, that I see now, when I add to cart.)


FOR EXAMPLE:

If audio_format = mp3

then

song $1 + no choice Price = $ 1
for ex. Cheap Red polyester t-shirt --> checkout foxycart


else if

audio_format = wav

Song $1 + choice 2 at $ 100 Price total = $101 dollars
for ex. blue t-shirt wool (more expensive) --> checkout foxycart


else

choice 3 etc .....

Is this possible?
Do I modify the prices for downloadable products in jamroom or foxycart and can this be based on if else variables? I´m thinking variables html or using the coupon system and Add instead of subtract....

*****************************************************************

Question 2. Chechout page problems:

*******************************************************************
Right now, when I press The add to cart button on a song I only get an indication that something has been added to cart,

The cart in the header gets the number 1 but I only see the placeholder with the dummy products in the popup cart.

When I press go to checkout I get: "Your order could not be found."
at mysite.foxycart.com/checkout?fcsid=9lele3v7k4bslbb2vhqe7o4bu0

Is this something I have done wrong when setting upp between jamroom - foxycart?
Or is this because I have not gone live with a subscription plan at foxycart yet?


Any light you can shed on the matter would be higly appricited:

Kind regards

For the first question, I believe you would need a custom module, maybe one of the other guys can jump in and confirm this, I don't think there is a way to charge a different price for different types of audio, in fact I think the audio file that is purchased is the one that is uploaded. Jamroom takes the audio file uploaded and converts it into multiple playable files so it will play on PC's as well as mobile devices, if the file is for sale, Jamroom takes the original file and gives that to the customer after purchase.

For the second issue, I would make sure your FoxyCart account "Required Store Configuration" are all checked off. You should see this in your FoxyCart account dashboard.

HI, Ok thank you.

Ok wav/mp3 bad example.. I was thinking of licenses, copyright - play on tv or in a store etc. Same audio file - different prices for different use. Sorry for the mixup

If I can use another custom form field for another price...for example: if someone buys a song with "audio_license1" = they pay price 1 else... ..same song: audio_term_2 = price 2.

Would that make a difference you think, if I dont have to mess with the audio module or do I still need to code a custom module? What I´m searching for is a way to change the price either before it hits the cart or when it´s in the cart with foxycart tools (Tempates...t-shirt polyester/cotton etx ?)

Thank you!

You can alter the way foxycart tempates display. You do that on foxycart.com.

Take a look at the url
YOUR-SITE.COM/foxycart/remote_templates/checkout

As that is part of the checkout remote template found on this page:
https://admin.foxycart.com/admin.php?ThisAction=EditTemplate&template=checkout

for the structure for a remote template. That might be what your after. Hard to say without actually doing it first, then telling you how it was done.

The other way to tackle it might be by adding an alt-price via the Form Designer and send that off to Foxycart. Don't think you'd get away without having a module to listen for the event when it came back though. Again, hard to say without attempting to build it first.

Hi!

Ok, sounds like the template at foxycart is a good place to start
and also try the alt price at form designer -
that might be the way.

Probably gonna need some help with this later on.
will announce it in the job section probably.

Thank you - this will get me started.
