 Be sure you have already installed ShopZone 3 Basic.
By default it should install into a C:\ShopzonePro30
folder.
-
Before installing the upgrade, locate the
following directory on your local computer:
C:\ShopzonePro30\source\admin\
-
Click "Edit" , "Select All"
-
Click File Properties and uncheck "Read-only" and click
OK
-
Before installing the upgrade, use Windows Explorer to
locate the following directory:
C:\ShopzonePro30\server\
-
Click "Edit" , "Select All"
-
Click File Properties and uncheck "Read-only" and click
OK
-
Prior ShopPlus owners must rename existing ShopPlus
source directory from ShopzonePro30\source\shopplus_30\ to
ShopzonePro30\source\shopplus_old\.
-
Download the upgrade using the link we sent you in an
email.
-
Run this self-extracting archive and install the
software into a the ShopZone subdirectory
"ShopzonePro30\". If you don't extract the software into
the subdirectory exactly as specified it will not appear
in your ShopZone list of components. The installed files
will appear in the directory
"ShopzonePro30\source\store\",
"ShopzonePro30\source\coupon_30\", etc.
-
Open ShopZone, click BUILD from the "Add to Website"
dropdown box, select "ShopZone 3.7 Store" and click "Add".
-
Caution: If the page title of your store doesn't say "ShopPlus
3.5 Store" then you made a mistake installing your new
software and may need to review the steps above or contact
tech support for assistance
-
Be sure you have the latest ODBC driver for Microsoft
VisualFoxPro. You probably have them installed if you have
Microsoft Office installed, but If you are getting
database or odbc errors when you open the web, you can
automatically install it from:

The cleanest solution is to create a new store after
you add 3.5 into the source directories, and then import
the databases information. But you can try the following.
-
Before you start, make a copy of the entire localhost
website and rename it to websiteOLD. That way if something
goes wrong, you still have the un-modified original go
fall back on.
-
Follow the steps in "New Store" installation above to
download and install ShopZone 3.5 into the main folders on
your computer.
-
Open the web you want to upgrade in ShopZone, and
remove the original 'store' and 'admin' components from
the BUILD AREA; then replace them with the SZP-3.5 store
(and admin). Add one dummy product and complete the
encryption key, then test "basic" operation though out
checkout to assure everything is working.
-
Be sure you have the latest ODBC driver for Microsoft
VisualFoxPro. You probably have them installed if you have
Microsoft Office installed, but If you are getting
database or odbc errors when you open the web, you can
automatically install it from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/odbc/default.aspx
-
Import the databases from the ORIGINAL (old) website.
* ShopZone 3.1 and above - Use Data / Import data into
existing table. Import the data for each database from
your old db folder separately
* ShopZone 2 - Go to "Build" and then choose "Add to
website" and from the drop-down menu select "Import
database from ShopZone2 web"
-
Any pages in the original site that are not specific to
the 'build store' will remain in the revised site, so
there should be no need to recreate these pages.

Is it possible to just copy 3.5 onto
an existing 3.2 site?
We don't recommend that you attempt to
copy the SZP-3.5 files on top of the old SZP-3.2 site.
While it *might* be possible, something could sneak past
you and cause hours of troubleshooting trying to fix
problems. The component wizard can read data associated
with each component and knows which to include and how to
place and configure them within the site.

| ShopPlus may be configured easily from the ShopPlus
Admin page found in the Online Store Admin section of the
ShopZone website.

Define your company information that will be displayed
on the Invoice.
These fields can be accessed on any web page (except the
home page) or included in the style sheet.

Enable Secure Store
Enabling this setting requires users to Login before
they can access any of the online store pages.
This soft security feature can be added to the very
top of the main() function of any WebC file with the
following code:
configread("config.ini");
if( SHOPPLUS_SECURE_STORE=="True" ) {
if( (stateget("VALIDLOGON")!="True") || (stateget("s_sys_userlogon")!="True")
) {
redirect("user_login.html?p_page=st_search.html");
}
}
Enable Auto-Shop
When Auto Ship is enabled adding items to the cart
bypasses the display of the cart and returns back to the
store thus speeding up the customers shopping by
displaying fewer pages. See the instructions further
down on how to add the Mini-Cart display on your web
pages or style sheet so customers can always see the
contents of their cart.
Enable Product Grid Display
Some very large catalogs display faster when and are
easier to read using the traditional ShopZone 2 style
Product Grid display.
Enable Order Declined Notification
When Order Declined Notification is enabled many
credit card authorization processes such as Cyber Cash,
Clear Commerce and ICVerify will send the webmaster an
email each time an order is declined. This can be very
useful in spotting fraud orders or capturing sales that
would normally be lost. Please note that some HTML based
services such as AuthorizeNet do not currently send
Order Declined Notifications.
Product Listings Per Page
Specify the number of products displayed per page for
categories or search results. When any product list
exceeds this number a page index will be displayed
allowing the customer to page through all of the
products.

|
These two features greatly reduce the amount of time
and number of steps required for customers to buy multiple
products straight from the catalog listing. The catalog
listing pages have been enhanced to have a quantity field
and the actual product price (including sale discounts)
displayed per product listed. Customers may enter
quantities for multiple products and then click ADD to put
all of the products ordered into the shopping cart.
Additionally, a quantity field has been added to the
product detail page allowing multiple units to be
purchased at once.
With all of these quantity ordering features scattered
throughout the store there is virtually no need to have
the shopping cart page displayed after each product is
ordered. See "AUTO SHOP" below for details on disabling
the intermediate shopping cart display.
NOTE: Products that have product options enabled
will not work properly with this feature and the product
options can't be selected from the catalog ot search
listings. If your store has lots of product options you
may want to disable the quantity field and order button
from ST_MAIN.HTML
|
|
|
| A new "Product Display Page" field has been added to
both the ST_PRODUCTS and ST_CATEGORY database. This
enables changing the product page layout per product or
category. All new product pages must be a fully functional
copy of ST_PROD.HTML with a new layout.
To change the page per product either go to:
-
BUILD and select the Online Store and
click the button "DATA…" and edit products or,
-
Administration area of the website
and select STORE ADMIN-PRDUCTS
Locate the desired product and type in the complete
name of the HTML page to be used, such as "st_prod_custom.html".
Once the product record is updated the specified HTML page
will be used to display that product.
To create the new product display page you must start
adding a blank page to your ShopZone website and then
copy the st_prod.html page over your new blank page. There
are several ways to accomplish this and detailed
instructions for doing it within ShopZone are shown below.
Creating a new product display page:
-
Go into ShopZone BUILD and add a new
Blank Page
-
Select the new Blank Page and click
PROPERTIES
-
Select the PROPERTIES-MENU tab
-
Select on "No Menu or Links" and
click OK
-
Click on PREVIEW, click on the Layout
tab.
-
Click on the "Product Detail" page in
the left hand tree display
-
Click VIEW-HTML
-
Click EDIT-SELECT ALL and EDIT-COPY
-
Click on the new Blank Page in the
left hand tree display
-
Click EDIT-SELECT ALL and EDIT-PASTE
-
Click the VIEW-WYSIWYG tab to see
your new catalog page
-
Click FILE-SAVE PAGE
You have now created a new product detail page ready to
customize. When it’s customized go change the "Product
Display Page" field in the Product or Category database as
described above to reference this new HTML page.

The ShopPlus store has added the following features to
the store search page:
Match Exact Phrase
Results from a search must contain a match of the
entire phrase entered instead of performing a search for
the various keywords. For instance a search for "George
Washington" will only display records that contain the
phrase "George Washington" instead of all records
containing "George" or "Washington."
Match Whole Words
Results from a search must contain a whole word match
for any the keywords entered. For instance a search for
"George" will only display records that contain the whole
word "George" and not match "Georgette" or "Georgetown".
Match All Words
Results from a search must contain all of the keywords
entered. For instance a search for "George President" will
only display records that contain all of the words so
"First President of the US, George Washington" will
produce a match but not for "George Washington Genealogy."
Select Price Range
A series of price ranges are defined that further
narrow the search parameters. When a price range is
selected the search will fail if nothing is found for both
the keywords entered and the price range selected.
Price range values are defined select list (drop-down
list) field values as follows:
| Price
Match |
Syntax |
Example |
Description |
| Less
Than |
<value |
< 10 |
Show all products with prices
less than the specified number |
| Greater
Than |
>value |
> 90 |
Show all products with prices
greater than the specified number |
| Range |
start_value-
end_value |
10 - 90 |
Show all products with prices
between and including the specified start and end
numbers |
Alphabetical Products Listings
Search for products by the first letter of the name.
Simply click on the letter shown and all products
beginning with that letter will be displayed. In order
for this feature to work all of your products must begin
with a capital letter, such as "My product" or you may
change the search to work on lower case letters.

To access the sales report go into the ShopZone Online
Store admin area and click on Sales Report. The sales
report options presented will be for today, week to date,
month to date, year to date and a custom date range.

To Print an Invoice
To print an invoice for each product that has been
ordered go into the ShopZone Online Store admin area and
click on Order Admin. When you have an order displayed on
your screen click the "Invoice" link to see the printable
invoice. Select FILE-PRINT from your browser window to get
a printed copy of the invoice. Browsers don't provide any
printer control so you may need to modify the invoice page
layout before it will properly fit the page on your
printer.
To Edit Invoice Page
In Preview, under Store Administration, you'll see a
page "Display Invoice" st_shopplus_invoice.html. Edit this
page to change the layout or include any other detailed
instructions. Go to the ShopPlus Admin page to modify your
contact information.

|
|
| The ShopPlus Online Store is fully enabled to
automatically display the ShopPlus Mini-Cart. To display
the Mini-Cart simply include "*(shopplus_cart)" into the
style sheet (preferably under the menu) or in the body of
any web page. For pages other than the Online Store a
single line of WebC script must be included into the
main() function to build the Mini-Cart for display.
Include the following code in the main() function of
your .webc page:
shopplus_cart =
::st_shopplus_util::BuildSmallCartTable();
This code should be inserted prior to any printtag()
statements. |
