VirtueMart Store with Mootools and other modfications

[ecockrell]

Right now I have the store in test mode.  I still need to tweek the code a little bit, especially for those categories that have less than 6 items.

http://test.silverpassion.com

Here is a list of the modifications I have made:

• Added a third image size to the products table and supporting forms
• Added an Image Manager module that accepts three image sizes; for new products the first record is created from the images in the products table
• Heavily modified the shop.browse.php file to display the carousel of product images; this uses the mootools plugin iCarousel and a mootools effect to hide the category description; this has also been "ajaxified"
• Heavily modified the shop.product_details.php file to support the Image Manager module above;  mootools is used to change the larger image on mouse overs; also added the mootools plugin slimbox for an even larger view
• Ajaxified the "Add to Cart" button; required a couple of new files
• Added a new class ps_ajax, which wraps ps_cart
• Modified virtuemart_parser.php to not spit out error messages if the call was an ajax call
• new browse page to work with the modified shop.browse.php file
• new flypage to work with the modified shop.product_details.php file

I think that is all.

I'd like to hear comment about the operation of the site before I put it into production.

Very impressive - one thing which is slightly disconcerting - when you add to cart (at least in the 2 products I tried) it appeared to me that nothing happened, until I noticed the cart had been populated with the product.

This is a minor thing but I think it would be good if the 'view cart' was visible within the same window area as the 'add to cart' button

Apart from that very good.

Thats the same concern I have.  I am considering doing one of these:

1. Insert a div with an image of a gift wrapped present  and have it fly across the screen to the cart.
2. Put the cart in a floating window that is always visible.
3. Use a slimbox/lightbox like feature that will tell the user the item is being added to the cart.

Hello,
         nice site.
I thought you may want to know that although the site is now live, the checkout link still links to http://test.silverpassion.com so no-one can buy anything.

If you did this for a customer it is something they may not have spotted!!
