Hi,

Are there any resources available for adding complete themes for KK?

A lot of other carts seem to have this, but it seems missing from KK. I can install and configure KK fine, it just looks bland. I am not a graphics person so could not do it myself. This only leaves 3 options as I see it;

1. Get a fully complete theme from a 3rd party.
2. Get a 3rd party to design a theme from scratch.
3. Use another cart which does have a library of other themes available.

I would really like help with 1 or 2, either a resource for complete theme packs, or a pointer to some other parties with experience in themeing KK.

Thanks.

Still a bit confused.

1. Why is there a setting in Admin/Images which is the URL of the images, if this is not used by the konakart front end? What is the point of this if Admin/Products looks as this to display the images when you upload them (and works), but the front end ignores this and used "images/x.jpg" always?

This still leaves all the images in the webapp. I do not want them there. If I places them on the webserver outside of the webapp it makes it much easier to deploy a new version of the webapp. If I make a change and then redeploy the .war file, hot can this be done?

Surely the product images, as per the database should be "outwith" the webapp as this is content?

I should be able to make a change to a jsp page, bundle the war, and redeploy without having the images in the war?

@michaelwechner, before I explain where I am, do this; In your product admin page, do right-click properties over the images that does not show, check that the path to the image is correct. I had this issue too. Once you fix that, you will probably be where I am below...


I have much the same problem. I however can see them in admin after some messing about, just not on main site.

In admin setup I have;

Image base URL: http://www.domain.co.uk/images/
Image base path: /usr/local/websites/www.domain.co.uk/images

If I upload an image I can see it in the right directory and it shows in admin, as in;
http://www.domain.co.uk/images/pig.png, which is actually;
/usr/local/websites/www.domain.co.uk/images/pig.png

fine to here, makes sense.

When I look on the main site I see nothing. If i view the source I can see stuff like;
<img src="images/pig_3.png">

Q.

1. Where is the _3 coming from? I have no images called that, there is none in my image folder callled that, just the original pig.png I uploaded?

2. What's with the path? why is it not "http://www.domain.co.uk/images/"; as I defined in the config? images/pig_3.png will be relative to my webapp somewhere and I don't want to put images there!

I must be missing something here as it makes no sense

It was right after all.

By browser was caching some old pages and it was getting confused. cleared cache and now is fine.

I currently have a 4.2 install. I have an existing version Tomcat and in order to use Konakart I just added "ln -s /where/i/inziped/kona konakart" in the existing webapps folder to a symbolic link to where I inziped the distribution. This worked fine.

However, I've just done the same for 5. Unziped the generic distribution and added a link for my tomcats webapps/konakart to the webapps/konakart in the distribution. I created a new v5 demo database and changed the props to point to that.

when I start I get this error;

Assuming I install the full konakart zip file into d:\konakart


1. choose free form.... ok

2. select the build.xml in custom (D:\konakart\custom\build.xml) .... ok

After this it seem  bit unclear.

One the dialog, where you select the build, you select another 3 items;

Project Name: "My_Kona_Project" .... ok?
Project Folder: "d\netbeansprojects" ....ok?

It also asked for;
Location?

Is this D:\konakart\custom, D:\konakart or something else?

The next dialog just asks for the tasks in the ant file; build and clean.... simple enough.... ok.

The next dialog asks for;
Web Pages folder: D:\konakart\webapps\konakart\WEB-INF\jsp ?/
WEB-INF Content: D:\konakart\webapps\konakart\WEB-INF
Context Path: ?

The next dialog is source packages... are they these, as this is what is pre-filled?
D:\konakart\java_soap_examples\src
D:\konakart\OpenCms_module\src
D:\konakart\custom\adminengine\gensrc
D:\konakart\java_api_examples\src


Do you actually have a project.xml form the konakart netbeans project so that I can examine to see how to fill in all the dialogs?

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone knows how to set Konakart up so it can be used in Netbeans, so that you can do a "build" in Netbeans to generate a WAR file than can be deployed and works.

I have tried created an "empty" web application from Netbeans and then copied various files from the kona dist to the relevant place in the Netbeans project, such as the jsp's to the project/web folder and so on. But I am finding it difficult to get it all to work.

For instance, I did not create a Struts project via NB, just a basic webapp, but instead just added all the jars from the kona lib folder to a Library in NB and added that to my NB project. I copied all the tdl from the web-inf in kona to the web-inf in my NB project. But if I look at index.jsp it can't find "/tags/struts-logic"??

Can something guide me where I put the relevant files and folders from the konakart dist into the NB project directory structure, so I can do a successful build that works.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've a couple of newbie questions here;

1. Credit Accounts; is it possible to have an option where some accounts can be allowed to buy items without having to pay upfront. Then at a later date then can make a payment on their account?

2. Restricted Products; is is possible to enable a group/category of products to only be available to certain customers? ie make a customer group called A, add some customers to it, then assign a category of products to only be visible to group A customers.

If these are not possible out the box, can someone tell me if this type of change is trival or comples using the existing developer tools.

Thanks,

I'll go down that route then

Hi,

I am trying to install a new empty store on PostgreSQL using the the sql srcipts manaully, but I am not clear on the process.

The konakart_new_store.sql script seems to be the one to run, however, it seems to update an existing database. So, I thought I needed to install the demo database first by running konakart_demo.sql.

Running the demo install creates a working databse that konakart runs against fine. This script seems to set the store_id on the tables to null.

When you run the new_store script against this database it tries to delete where store_id = "TARGET_STOREID" as this is hard coded into the srcipt, it then then inserts rows with store_id set to TARGET_STOREID.

This these leave the database with all the orignal rows from the demo with a null store_id and some rows from the new_store script, with store_id set to TARGET_STOREID?

I can see what it is trying to do, but there seems to be something missing to bring this together?

1. Is null correct for a single store in the database or should it have a value? How do I do this?

2. There seems to be other scripts ending in _cs and and with _ms_ in their names in the postgres folder, what are these? I can't see anything documented to explain this.

Basically, how do I manaully get to a emply database ready to start laoding my own store data?

thanks.

Hi,

I currently have merchant accounts with both SagePay and PayPoint. Are any of these supported out the box by Konakart?

Also, If not. Can Konakart emulate the interafce of any other shopping cart? For example, those both seem to suppport osCommerce, so can kona emulate that, or does kona need a specific interface for each gateway?
