Please note

- 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;

Change currency conversion rate in the IMS V3:

As a result you'll see currency edit form => change "Rate" and "Last mod" fields.

2). You can specify default currency in the admin.area:
menu "Store" => submenu "Edit store" => select your currency from the "Currency" dropdown list.

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

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

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.
