Installation of Shopping Cart to your PHP-Nuke site For the purpose of this tutorial we are going to install CallowaysCart shopping cart, which is available free of charge at TheGuitarFiles.com. In order to install the cart, please visit the above URL and download the script to your local computer. Extract the archive files that are inside the scripts.zip file and then extract Calloway's_Cart_Pro_v.2.1b.zip archive. This will create a new directory Calloway's_Cart_Pro_v.2.1b with several files and directories under it. Please, open your favorite FTP client, connect to your FTP web hosting account and navigate to the directory where phpNuke is installed to. Then upload all the files and directories found under the Calloway's_Cart_Pro_v.2.1b directory into your phpNuke home directory. Once the files are uploaded successfully, we should go and install the base of our database structure. Please, visit http://www.yourdomain.com/path2phpnuke/ccinstall.php, where ‘yourdomain.com’ is replaced with your real domain name and path2phpnuke with the real path to the application. In my case this is http://www.tutorials.com/ccinstall.php, since the directory which I have installed the application is the web root folder (www). Now that we have the database created, we should populate and update the content in it - go to your administration section and click on the newly created CCart_Pro icon. Scroll down a little and click on "Main CCart Settings" which will lead you to the main configuration screen for the shopping cart. To update the database, locate 'Click to upgrade your MYSQL Tables to version 2.0b' link and follow it. It should say 'Good News..', which means everything was completed successfully and you will be now able to use the cart fully. Go back to the configuration panel and finish the rest of the configuration form as shown on: 
Remember to delete ccinstall.php and cc_update_2.0b.php in your root folder when you are done. Go to your Paypal account and activate IPN under Profile at the top of Paypal! To do so go to http://www.yourwebaddress.com/ipn.php the URL in the ipn box in paypal (Replace yourwebaddress.com with yours of course) Now go to ipn.php in your root folder and edit your message to your customer(s) after they place an order. You will see it commented. That’s it! Well done! |
