  • Shopmania Feed – UK

    ** There is now an official script for PrestaShop available and this module is no longer supported. **

    It’s been a busy few weeks, and we’ve been caught up in the Christmas rush as many of you out there hopefully are too. It’s a busy time for stores – the busiest of the year – and hopefully the gloom and doom regarding ‘Credit Crunches’ and ‘Bank Bail-outs’ hasn’t affected you too much.

    One of our regulars on the UK PrestaClub Forum suggested that a feed for Shopmania would be nice, so we threw this together. Sadly it is currently written to provide a feed for the UK service, although we plan to add some configuration in the next release to allow you to choose which country you would like to create the feed for. The more technical of you out there will have no trouble altering the module as it stands to produce a feed for your own country should you want to.

    Version 1.0 (November 2008) : UK Shopmania Feed v1.0

  • Random Advert Module for PrestaShop Updated (v1.1)

    Thanks to a user report (thank you Bach!) a bug was identified in our Adverts module that prevented it working in the left column. We’ve issued an update that should sort out the error.

    An updated version of the PrestaShop Random adverts and Callouts module is now available.

  • Randomly Displayed Adverts and Callouts

    Another useful tool for conversions is being able to attract the attention of your visitors and guide them to the parts of your site you really want them to see. We’ve come up with yet another great little PrestaShop module to do precisely that!

  • Live Support to Improve Conversions

    A common theme in small business forums and newsgroups when discussing eCommerce sites are posts that start with “I’ve had x,000 visitors to my site but haven’t sold anything, what am I doing wrong?”.

    Sadly, selling on-line isn’t (just) about visitors, but conversions. Getting a customer to look at a product is one hurdle, but by far the more important one is getting them to actually part with their cash! This is where many come unstuck.

  • BETA Version 2 Paypal Module for PrestaShop

    We’re pleased to release BETA 1 of our modified version of the PrestaShop Paypal Payment module that will hopefully address a few more of the shortcomings of the original 1.0.0.8 version.

    This latest version provides tighter integration with IPN notifications, and supports all the current message combinations for both instant and eCheck payments. Refunds and cancellations are also supported, although only as far as this functionality is supported by PrestaShop itself.

  • Paypal IPN Validation update

    We had an issue recently where there was some difficulty contacting the paypal server to verify an IPN passed back to a PrestaShop store.

    The v1 Final version of the paypal validation.php file only uses fsockopen to establish an http connection to paypal (production or sandbox) to verify, so we’ve added a little code to ours to:

    1) Use a secure connection if possible (using fsockopen)
    2) Use cURL if the above fails to connect, and
    3) Use an insecure http connection if the above fails.

    The patched files can be downloaded here: Paypal module update for Version 1.0 Final

  • “AddStuff” for PrestaShop

    Addstuff will be 1 year old on 5th August 2009!!

    Here’s a fun little module that several have used to add some easy custom items to their pages. Inspired by many modules by the same (or similar) names for other open source projects, this allows you to include your own html (or anything else you can think of) into your right or left column easily.

    The configuration consists of two items:

    • A filename (default “mystuff.html” in the module directory)
    • A check box to select using the standard box model class (heading is styled with h4)

    The example code puts an image and link on your page, so you’ll probably want to change it, but feel free to link back to here from your sites. We appreciate your support!

    Latest Version: Addstuff v0.6.3

  • Exporting products to Googlebase

    Getting noticed in Google Product Search

    There has been huge demand for a module to allow upload of the products in Prestashop installations to Google Base. In an attempt to satisfy this, until such time as I can have a look at implementing it using the Google Base API, I threw together some code that will hopefully work. Only minimal testing has been performed, so I recommend that you use with caution.

    Special thanks to Icarus for debugging the latest versions, and for the new feature suggestions for the 0.6.x series and beyond….

    Update: The latest version can be found at Prestashop Google Product Search
