General Notes
- The basic requirements are a server
running PHP 4.1.0 or newer and MySQL 3.23 or newer.
- Interaction with some payment processors require PHP with the curl
library with SSL support and xml. If you want to use UPS live quotes, you
must sign up at UPS and enter your Userid, Password and XML AccessID.
- If you want to use USPS live quotes, you
must sign up with USPS and enter your Userid and Password. For these you
also need Perl installed with the XML::DOM module.
- On Yahoo! webhosting and possibly other
sites, if you just logged into your imscart account and the system logs
you out, this is because there is not a /tmp directory set up
automatically.
- Workaround: ftp to the site, go to the
root directory and create the directory.
- On Yahoo! webhosting, when you upload an
image file it doesn't show up in the flypages. This is because the
permissions on the file are automatically set to 600 (i.e. not readable by
the web browser).
- Workaround: FTP to the directory where
the files are and chmod them to so that they are readable by all.
- NOTE - When cutting
and pasting links to products/tours, etc, never include any PHPSESSID
parameter in links that point to IMS pages, e.g.,
&PHPSESSID=f5282133c4ec37c6ebe7bf0f0a358e01%20
- Can't get phpMyAdmin to work from within
imscart admin: won't accept authentication. This is a problem on NTT/Verio
for example.
- Workaround: edit the file imscart/inc/imscartmyadmin/config.inc.php
and change the line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = http;
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = cookie;
To enable or
disable Pick-Up location
Go to your admin
area, Click Admin, Click Edit
Config in left margin
Click Edit all
config in left margin
Click on
PICKUP_LOCATION_ENABLED and change the Variable value from “1” to “0”
and save the page.
Change currency
conversion rate in the IMS V3:
1). In admin menu "Store" =>
submenu "Currency" => select currency by clicking on the radio-button
(o) and press "Change" =>
As a result you'll see currency edit form => change "Rate" and "Last
mod" fields.
Actually "Last mod" field contains a time as "timestamp" - number of
seconds from 2000-01-01 00:00:00 year.
2). You can specify default currency in the admin.area:
menu "Store" => submenu "Edit store" => select your currency from the
"Currency" dropdown list.
Bar code is not being printed/displayed.
1) In admin >edit config >edit all config > change barcode variable to 1
(turn on bar code) 2) If not displaying, change
permissions to 755 (rwx-rx-rx) on the shop_image and shop_image/barcode
folders on your website.
Export Data for Excel
Orders Export implemented in V3:
In the admin.area: menu "Orders" => submenu "List Orders" =>
"Export" button.
Shoppers/Clients Export in V3:
In the admin.area: menu "Shoppers" => submenu "List Shopper" Button
"Export(CSV)".
It creates tab-separated *.txt file that can be imported in the
Microsoft Excel.
Change topnavlinks footernavlinks etc
topnavlinks
inc/templates/topmenu.ihtml
footernavlinks
inc/templates/s_footer.ihtml
Buttons
We suggest the easiest is to use the same names for different buttons.
Styles
the style sheets used are: style_imscart.css
An example each for full/fixed width.
There are a lot of styles with comments. We suggest you browse through
it to find out where everything is. I divided it into sections:
- top
- left
- right
style_imscart.css is identical to the 'full_width_imscart.css'.
The only exceptions are:
style_imscart_conf.css
This is used to have a white background on the confirmation emails. It
is needed if the website has an image as background.
It is used in the following files:
template_html_thankyou.php
template_html_delete.php
scheduleprint_imscart.css
schedule_imscart.css
transit_scheduleprint_imscart.css
transit_schedule_imscart.css
Those are used to style the schedule in transit/ferry module.
tab.css
That one is used for the 'tabs' in the tours version.
style_admin.css
That is for the back-end. However there is only little styles, as I
did not yet have time to make it better.
Header Images
The header images are stored: /shop_image/vendor/ims-reservation-software.jpg
but the image itself is in the file:
template/s_header.ihtml
Please note:
s_header.ihtml
s_footer.ihtml
are for the front-end,
header.ihtml
footer.ihtml
are for the back-end.
Generate the copy of an order for the
administrator You can set-up IMSCart to receive
copy of orders on the specified e-mail: "Admin" => "Edit Config"=>"Edit
All Config"
CC_WEBMASTER: 1 - mail copy will be sent to "webmaster"; 0 - do not send
mail to "webmaster".
WEBMASTER: email address to receive a copy.
Order mail consists of two parts:
Header: inc/templates/template_html_header.php
Main part: inc/templates/template_html_thankyou.php
Mail to send after changing order status consists of another two parts:
Header: inc/templates/mail_html_header.inc
Main part: inc/templates/mail_html_order_status.inc
These templates have links on CSS files: inc\templates\mail_html_header.inc
inc\templates\template_html_header.php
You can also change CSS in style/style_imscart.css or create new CSS for
mails.
Add/modify/delete room types in IMS Voyager V3.0
In Admin
Menu "Hotel" => submenu "List Room Types"
Menu "Hotel" => submenu "Add Room Type"
Search function in V3.0.
Search form is in inc/templates/topmenu.ihtml file. Search results
page template: inc\modules\shop\html\search_all.ihtml
You can enable or disable this search using internal constant
ALLOW_SITE_SEARCH in the index.php file.
Product Properties
Adding properties for products contains two steps:
1. Adding properties names and values: menu "Products" > submenu "Add
Property". Value in the NAME column at the very top is property name (f.e.
"Size"). Values below are option values to display in the dropdown box
(rows Option 1...Option 10).
2. Selecting properties for product categories.
Menu "Products" > submenu "List Categories" > click on category name
and tick checkboxes with properties you want to use > Save.
After this you'll see dropdownboxes to select property values on the
product details page. Selected values will be added to the product's SKU
column on the shopping cart / order pages.
