Hello,

1.Express checkout similar to one page checkout.

We provide all the source code for the one-page checkout.  Perhpas you could study that and figure out a way to implement what you want to do.   Alternatively, you have all the JSPs so you can presumably modify these to create the page the way you want.

2.Providing the promotion code.

Not sure what you mean here.  We already have promotions and coupons.  Are you sure this isn't already provided for you: See http://www.konakart.com/productdetails.php (under promotions) and http://www.konakart.com/configurationfaq.php#How_can_I_activate_a_promotion_

3.Saving favorite items in the cart.

Not sure what you mean here.  Please expand.

4.Sorting products by price range.

This is already provided by the API.  It's demonstrated in the Open Laszlo demo application as well - at http://www.konakart.com/konakart_cat_inspector/main.swf
Check the javadoc for details: http://www.konakart.com/javadoc/server/com/konakart/appif/KKEngIf.html#searchForProducts(java.lang.String, com.konakart.appif.DataDescriptorIf, com.konakart.appif.ProductSearchIf, int)

5.Saving credit card information.

Where you put the code depends on when you want to do this.  If at payment time then you can modify the payment gateway module actions to save the credit card information to custom fields on the customer record.  You have all the source for these payment modules.  (You would probably use getCustomer to retrieve the data, then editCustomer to save the updated record).   You could (should!) encrypt it before you save it at this point.

6.Product to be specified as a gift.

Not sure what you mean exactly.  Is that a product that you buy for someone else aas a gift or is it some kind of promotion whereby a certain product is marked as a gift and is provided without charge if some condition is met?? Please expand.

Good news.     Thanks for letting us know. 

Hi Anni,

I actually meant copying the images and not the scripts. If you can't do that then referencing a url should work nicely.

Hi Anni,

You could try copying them into the webapps/konakart/images folder since that is where KonaKart reads all of its images from. Here is how we display an image in one of our JSPs:

<img src="images/infobox/corner_right_left.gif" border="0" alt="" width="11" height="14">

If you copy that syntax it should work. If your server is unix, don't forget that the image name is case sensitive.

Hi,

You've encountered one of the known problems with 2.2.0.7 on Oracle.

Please see http://www.konakart.com/knownproblemsfaq.php

Hi,

Please check the FAQ at http://www.konakart.com/onepagecheckoutfaq.php

Hi Anni,

No - you can't have two programs listening on the same port like that.   Your existing server is probably listening to port 80 so if you make KonaKart listen on port 80 there would be a clash and both could not work at the same time.

There are techniques to forward requests to other ports from web servers... They are standard techniques that you can read about in 100s of places on the Internet.  They will be specific to your web server.

Pete

Hi Anni,

By default, KonaKart listens on port 8780.  Is that port being blocked?

Your existing web site is probably listening on port 80.

Hello Anni,

Please can you be a bit more speciifc about what you are trying to achieve by "trying to integrate konakart with an existing website" ?

You can install KonaKart almost wherever you like.


When you report that "it didn't work at all" please can you be a little more specific.  For example, was there an exception in the tomcat log?

Regards,
Pete

Mark,

However I still can't login with the id and password i created. How is that possible? If they worked for the database creation surely they should work for the login.

The database username and password are not the same as the Admin App username and password.  They are credentials for different things.

Regards,
Pete

Mark,

I'm rather confused about what you're doing there. 

Which version of KonaKart are you installing anyway?

In v2.2.0.7 you cannot specify the admin user id during installlation - so this leads me to think you may be installing an older version.   Older versions work fine as well, but if you're just starting out you might as well use the latest.

Regards,
Pete

Hi Mark,

Sounds like you're making good progress...

So you did a full install using the wizard and you saw the "SQL Executed Successfully" message at the end of that screen that shows you the SQL-loading messages?

If so, and you're using MySQL 5+, you should be fine.

I have tried refreshing your browser with the KonaKart Admin App in it?

Regards -Pete

Hi Mark,

Well, you've probably guessed that the problem is something to do with a failure to communicate with your database.

Check that you can log in to your database using the username and password that you've specified (try using a MySQL tool like Query Browser - or similar).

Is the MySQL database running?

Regards,
Pete

Hi Jimmy,

Yes, you can do those things but you must give recognition to KonaKart as specified.  It's not really very much to ask 

How are you getting on with your special project?

Regards -Pete

Hi iamcp,

You have to edit the JSP and add prod.getImage2(), prod.getImage3() etc. where you want to display the other images. The default application that we ship only displays one image.
