Topic: Catalog

[Robert Heaton]

Hi,

Has anyone had "Catalog" working in SME5 (www.theexchangeproject.org) Catalog is an open-source Shopping cart.

Or has anyone got an RPM available??

Kind regards,
Rob.

Hello Rob,

You don't need a RPM for this, just read the readme that comes whith the download off the right version off phptep.

On your E-smith box jou make a I-bay called for example "catalog"

You make also whith you MySQL manager a new database also called for example "catalog"

You unzip on your own Workstation the version off phptep you see a lots off files and directories. He al so make a directorie called "catalog" all files and directories he made here you copied it to your I-bay html directorie.
In de root of you unzipped files you also found a file caled *.sql this is your databse.

You go to your MySQL manager and you load this file to the database "catolog"

Alle of this is also written in a few readme's on the unziped files. read this to make a lot of changes in de config files of the phptep files. (servername, databasename, usrer, password etc)

Is a nice web-shop what we have placed by a lot off littele companies in combinations  with the e-smith server. Be aware for all updates every day a new CSV file with a lot off new programfiles (php) and somtime's a new database discription (new fields etc). Make you first de working off phptep clear fore you place to offten a update that not functions.

Good luck, and if you have een question ask

Greeting from Amsterdam

Hello,

You must change a few line's in this php script where de information is.

Use you editor and make

like this:

// define our webserver variables
// FS = Filesystem (physical)
// WS = Webserver (virtual)
  define('HTTP_SERVER', '');
  define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); // where your pages are located on the server.. needed to delete images.. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs)
  define('DIR_FS_LOGS', '/usr/local/apache/logs/');
  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/ibay_name/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/ibay_name/');
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);
  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', DIR_WS_ADMIN . 'images/');
 
But I al so think that you can better if you have problems to the own site off user's and writters off the the the exchange project on http://theexchangeproject.org

Succes

I got it going with absolutely no problem at all. I installed it in Primary, not an iBay. Also, the 2.1 version would not work for me at all (certainly not in an iBay). I am using the 2.2 CVS version.

If you need more help let me know. Visit the ALMOST ready production site at www.winecottage.com.
