   Sorry, but my PHP skills are not that strong. I inserted the previous statement that Harish suggested but I am getting the following parse error. I can’t see what’s wrong with it. Please Help

   You will love me for this:
   UPDATE `PREFIX_ngg_pictures` SET `description`= (
   SELECT CONCAT(“Price 1 €
   [wp_cart:", (SELECT `filename`), ":price:1:end]“)) where `galleryid` = 666

   Hello,
   The answer might be obvious but I can’t get it:
   I have NextGen Gallery installed. And WP store. I am stuck connecting the two. Can one do these simply by installing plugins rather than uploading, unzipping, etc?
   I did not download (the WP eStore template file for NextGen Gallery) since I had installed it as a plug in. But what does “upload the ‘gallery-wp-eStore.php’ file to the ‘view’ folder of the NextGen gallery plugin directory (nextgen-gallery/view/gallery-wp-eStore.php)” mean?

   Where exactly is the ‘view’ folder for NextGen? Thank you.

   Hi there,

   Have followed instructions step-by-step. Started just today so have all the latest versions. The “add to cart” button is not active. Clicking on it brings no results. You can see the issue here: http://1yearago2day.com/merch

   I have followed the Instructions of http://www.wordpress-ecommerce.com/wordpress-shop-using-nextgen-gallery-and-wp-shopping-cart-7 to Integrate the Nextgen Plugin with paypal shopping cart.

   I tried and came up with this [admin deleted the url]

   Issues I am Facing in my implementation;

   1. “Add to Cart” does not look like the button described in the Instructions Link Above.
   2. On Click of “Add to Cart” button I don’t get to see the Shopping Cart Contents as shown in the Instructions Link Screenshot.

   Looking forward for help.

   Thank you.

   I got the plugin to work great on the gallery page. I just want to know if you can tell me how to make the add to cart button show up in the fancybox? Right now it just shows the shortcode itself. If I can’t make the add to cart button show, do you know how I can hide the caption?

   Thanks

    Hi there, I got nextgen and the shopping cart to play nicely together as long as I’m displaying the gallery with the eStore template. But, I run into a problem if I want to display it as a regular gallery. take a look:

    [admin deleted link]

    On examining the page source, it seems there is an issue with quotes maybe, I’m no html expert so I can’t see exactly what is happening here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Doug November 21, 2011 at 5:22 pm

       This is because you need the eStore template to manage the add to cart. If you remove the paypal code you’ll be able to display it as you want.

    I’m adding photos to my website to sell to event participants and I have the gallery with shopping cart working fine, however I can’t seem to find info on how the user would get the correct photo from me.

    In simple cart you can only link them to the one URL, so am I just supposed to send them the digital file after I get the paypal receipt?

    Just a little confused on this.

    I may be working with a client who wants to sell jewelry. In addition to the basic price, is there a way to add a line for shipping and, if necessary, sales tax?

    This set up is Great! Only 1 draw back…. It’s not playing well between browsers. I got it all set up and running and looking Great and then I hit my ‘IE’ rendering button on Chrome and well…you know, the formatting has gone to the dogs. I see it plays well for you in all the browsers. What did you do different? I’d throw you a link but I’m working on a local host.

    Hello,
    I just followed the steps to integrate these two plugins, and it is working fine.

    I am trying to set up an album for each photoshoot, wedding, or event I photograph and allow anyone with the password to the page to be able to order prints of any of the pictures there. What I need to know is, is there a way to have a drop-down with different size options/prices to be added to the cart rather than a static “Price: $25″ and an “Add to Cart Button”?

    Reply ↓
    1. Mike December 22, 2011 at 8:12 am

       Ok, well, I’ve figured out part of it…

       Could someone help me get the correct Price to go to the cart?

       This is what I have put into the Description:
       5
       Size:
       8×10 ($8)
       5×7 ($4)

       [wp_cart:5:price:value:end]

       where the ‘*****’ is the missing piece. I am not sure what I should be putting there to get the button to grab the Price of the selected size.

    hi, I followed the instructions for:

    Adding the ‘Add to Cart’ Buttons below the Image Thumbnails,

    but get an error just behind the ‘add to cart’ option – something like:
    ….”class=”shutterset set 8″
    - could this be related to my theme that I am using on the site (my lovely theme 0.6 by mythem.es)
    ?

    forget the last comment – i havejust noticed that the letter ‘S’ in “wp-eStore” is capitilized!

    maybe you should add this to the info above (seen as the instructions are in an image)?
    thanks,

    Can I get the cart section to show on its own page rather than sidebar? I am not using the sidebar section on this site and would like the this section to have its own page.

    Hi,

    This plugin is working fine on one of my client’s sites, so thanks for making it available.

    The one issue my client has with it, is that she’d like the description of the product to appear in the modal pop-up (we’re using the default Thickbox that comes with NextGen Gallery).

    All it says now is “Image 1 of 20 “.

    At the moment the description can only be seen when someone clicks the Add to Cart button and the details appear in the side widget. So for example ‘Oil on canvas, 11×14 inches’ is the description of the painting for sale, and this is used by the WP shopping cart plugin — we need this description to appear on the modal pop-up version of the larger image when someone clicks on the thumbnail.

    NextGen does show this information in the Thickbox modal window when WP shopping cart isn’t involved. So, how do I get it to display this description on the pop-up modal window when using WP shopping cart with NextGen and ThickBox.

    You can see what I mean here [admin deleted the link]

    If you click on the thumb you don’t get the description, but if you click the Add to Cart button the description appears in the Cart info in the side bar. Now go to one of the galleries not using the shopping cart plugin, click the thumbnail and you’ll see the description in the Thickbox window.

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers,

    Tracy

    Hi, I’d like to have the add to cart button in the image browser view so as my gallery page isn’t cluttered up with add to cart buttons. I have made it so that the gallery shows all the thumbnails, then instead of clicking the button and a modal window comes up, it shows up the image with next and previous buttons. That is where I want my add to cart button. However, the template code I add to the gallery page obviously wont work for here because it’s it’s own template. So I edited the nextgen imagebrowser.php page adding in , but this just repeats the image 10s of times with the shortcode just echoed out.

    Okay quick question. I got the plug-in installed fine. Love it! Now, how do I go about changing the ‘design’ of the Add to Cart button? I just want to have a smaller, colored button (similar to the one in the example at the top of the page) instead of the big, default one.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello. I have installed the plugins and template and have followed your instructions. All is well except for one thing. When I put the code into the description field for that image:
    My T-shirt
    Price: $25.00
    [wp_cart:My T-shirt:price:25.00:end]

    and refresh my page, no text is visible and the “Add to Cart” button is positioned above and off center of the thumbnail image. I am using a purchased Mojo Theme template and am hoping that it’s not due to the template. Can you tell me what the problem might be?

25. Natalie June 28, 2012 at 8:07 pm

    One other thing, I just noticed that the lightbox function does not work once I place the code in the description! Instead, when you click on the thumb, it opens the enlarged image in the same window and the user is left to hit the back button to get to the store.

    For days, I have been figuring out on getting the right photo which I can use in my website. My gallery that has the shopping cart is working after I followed the step by step procedure. But yeah, this is not very friendly to all browsers. I also need more info on this one too.

    I have followed all of the instructions/directions and on the Gallery page I keep getting this error –
    ” class=”shutterset_set_1″ >
    I have no idea how to fix this – any ideas?
    Thanks!

       I get this error too, but only if I use one of the Nextgen images, which I’ve added the shopping cart code to, in a blog post. If anyone can help me fix this error, or even point me to a post discussing how to fix it, I would be most grateful.

       I know there’s something about using the estore template – but I can’t do that for my blog posts. Or if I can I don’t know how. So I assume there’s some kind of code I need to add to my blog posts template.

          I’m having this problem also. When I fiurst installed this module (early January 2013) it worked a treat. At some stage over the last few days it’s broken. I now get ” class=”shutterset_set_3″ > before each thumbnail

          Is there a fix for this?

          Other than this, it’s been a great plugin – fantastic for a breebie – and I was considering upgrading

    Hello. I’m a little confused. Is the NextGen Gallery and WP Shopping Cart used for those who wish to package and sell their products to a physical location? Or is the delivery of the products done instantaneously by downloads after the customer makes a payment?

    I am a photographer/graphic designer and have been looking a shopping cart to sell my digital work instantaneously and have customers pay me via PayPal. Would the NextGen Gallery and WP Shopping Cart be the right tool for me?

29. Toshi Yoshida March 14, 2013 at 6:54 pm

    This is a great plugin but I’m having a small problem with it.

    My gallery works by navigating from a thumbnail grid view to a ‘description view’ page (i.e. a page with a mid-sized image, large description and comments section) to a full sized image view. Thats a little different to most NextGEN users who go directly from grid-view to a full sized image view.

    My ‘description view’ page is being slightly corrupted by the plugin as the Add to Cart button appears at both the Top and Bottom of the page and the Top part includes some extra visible html.

    @Luz

    Unzip the nextgen zip file, locate the view folder and then paste it in.
    Zip the file and upload.

    However even though i found the solution and tried to upload the zip file, an error occurs:
    The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

    Please help

    @Luz

    I solved the problem by tweaking the steps I mentioned.

    Unzip the nextgen zip file, locate the view folder and then paste it in.
    Zip the file and upload.

    Instead of doing this,

    open the zip file, browse to the view folder and add the php in this way.
    Voila!
