Hi Candrina,

Looks like you’re really close to getting this all set up!

You need to connect a payment gateway to Cart66, and update the Cart66 checkout page to have the shortcode that corresponds to the gateway that you choose: https://cart66.com/cart66lite-documentation.pdf

For example, I use Paypal Website Payments Standar, so in the cart, i have the shortcode:
[checkout_paypal]

Best,
John

So glad you’re thinking of using the plugin!

The plugin displays on the your site using shortcodes. To edit/translate the shortcode behavior, you can edit the “shortcodes.php” file. This should be fairly easy.

If you need to translate the back-end of the plugin, I think that would be a much larger project.

Best of luck,
John

So customer creation was working, and then stopped working?

Your existing data will probably not be deleted, but to be safe you can export all of your tables with the Import/Export function: https://howtononprofit.wordpress.com/classdex/admin-functions/

Sounds like you may need to re-install the plugin. Delete the plugin, then follow these installation instructions: https://howtononprofit.wordpress.com/classdex/installation/

Hope that does the trick!

ClassDex creates the registration forms and payment method, but it does not automatically place students in the class. The process to place a student in a class is a manual process that must be preformed by a site admin — which gives you the opportunity to filter out issues like this. Hope that helps!

The variables for the customers table are defined in classdex.php. The function that builds these tables is only called when classdex is installed, so you would need to uninstall and reinstall for any changes to take effect. Once the variables are defined in the database you’ll need to edit create_customer.php and edit_customer.php to get the variables to display.

Best of luck!

There is a large “Notes” section that is stored with each customer. Would that serve your needs? Adding fields is possible, but would require some technical work and I unfortunately don’t have the time right now. Are you or someone you know a developer?

If you post a link, I’d be happy to take a look.

Thanks,
John

Unfortunately, ClassDex does not have the ability to add custom custom fields.

Great! Sorry for my delay getting back. Let me know if you run into any issues.

I haven’t done any testing with Cart66 Cloud, so I’m not really sure if it will work. The first question is whether or not ClassDex is still able to create products in Cart66 Cloud. If that works, then you should be in good shape.

To change the shortcodes that ClassDex writes to display the “Add to Cart” buttons from Cart66, you’ll have to edit the “shortcode.php” file in ClassDex/includes.

Currently:
On line 114:
$content .= “[add_to_cart item=\”” . $row[‘class_id’] . “\” style=\”padding:0px; display:inline;\” showprice=\”no\” ]”;
On line 168:
$content .= “<td>[add_to_cart item=\”” . $row[‘class_id’] . “\” showprice=\”no\” ]</td>”;

Change to:
On line 114:
$content .= “[cc_product sku=\”” . $row[‘class_id’] . “\” display=\”inline\” price=\”false\” ]”;
On line 168:
$content .= “<td>[cc_product sku=\”” . $row[‘class_id’] . “\” price=\”false\” ]</td>”;

Whether this works will depend on whether or not ClassDex is still successfully creating products in Cart66 Cloud. That’s a more challenging problem, so I hope this does the trick!

I see what you mean. Maybe the issue is that you have the cart on the same page that you are listing the ClassDex classes. I’d remove the cart from the bottom of the page and make sure you remove any other extra cart66 shortcodes that you may have included with the ClassDex shortcode. Hope that does the trick!

ClassDex has nothing to do with the cart. It creates the products, but all of the cart behavior is from Cart66. You could test this by creating some products in Cart66, embedding them in a page, and test to see if you are able to add multiple products. I think you’ll run into the same issue.

Yes, it looks like your configuration for Cart66 is causing this problem. When I go to checkout, I get a warning from chrome that there is a url switch from rw.treefrogmarketing.com to mypowertower.com. This means that Cart66 is attempting to save your cart information at a separate site. I’d go through you Cart66 settings to fix this or you may need to reinstall that plugin.

Cart behavior is controlled by Cart66, so you may need to adjust some of your settings in that plugin. The settings in ClassDex shouldn’t have any effect. If you’re willing to share a link, I can take a look at what’s going on.

Best,
John
