Module - Seller Store

Well, it was more of a suggestion to the authors for a much needed improvement to this module than a How To for non-coders.

I'm guessing Nick did it by modifying 68c code, I'm just suggesting this wouldn't be too hard to modify the module itself to do without 68c code edits.

From reading this thread, the name "Seller Store" is setting expectations a little high for what the module does. It would be nice to see it updated to provide a little more visibility for users who take the time to create a 'store'.

I'm kind of slammed with some other issues at the moment, but I may have a hack at it some time soon.

[quote=Lhotch;30902]It sounds like its not properly installed. Double check the install.

I don't know how to.

"They should be unzipped, did you click generate?"
I uploaded them to the server first zipped then deleted that and
uploaded them unzipped because I didn't see them under the modules listing
in admin. When I upload them to the server it says that the file transfer was successful. When I click regenerate it says "Gateway list regenerated from file system". It only lists the maintenence and statistics modules, I see both the member rating and seller store mods on the server side of filezilla, says upload was sucessfull but I they aren't showing up under my mods.

Hi,
Are you uploading the whole seller_store folder or are you uploading just the files inside it?
A good wayt o check you have uploaded everything is goto http://**yourdomain.com**/modules/se...ore/readme.txt
Cheers,
Nick

Once again sounds like its not installed properly. Within the module there is likely a folder with a name that resembles the name of the module you need to upload the FOLDER AND ITS CONTENTS to the modules folder on your site.

check the manual at the link belore for more details.

I uploaded the whole folder, When I went to this link with my url it had a 404 error. I understand that it was probably uploaded incorrectly but I'm not sure how to upload it "correctly". I just removed the whole folder from the server.
Mainly I am interested in the member rating mod now, that is also not showing up in the admin mods. But the folder is showing in the server side..
what to do? clicking regenerate dosen't help...

You might have a folder in folder. Try
http://**yourdomain.com**/modules/se...ore/readme.txt
Do you get a 404 then?

I was finally able to upload the seller store, it was a folder in folder issue.
But all it does is list the items a seller has. It dosen't have enough features for what I need. I want an actual store so that I can charge people a monthly fee
to have a store (like ebay) on my classifieds site . So if a user is searching for
an item in classifieds a seller's related item will show up also.

I did find a script that is a mall script in php that has a lot of features, I'm not sure if it will integrate properly but i'm going to try and see...

I've added an 'All Seller Stores' option to this module, which shows a list of all stores, see attached image. I added a 'short description' to the existing store edit page, to use in the 'all stores' list. The list also shows the number of ads in each store.

I've got some more work to do on this stuff, like adding pagination to the list, the option to show the sellers store thumbnail on their ad listings, adding 'featured store' functionality, etc.

When I'm done, I'll ZIP it up and give it to Eric, who can then release an updated version if he wants to. I have no desire to support it in the long term, LOL! I just wanted to give Seller Stores more visibility on our site.

Eric - let me know if you think you are interested, and I can rebuild it against the 4.1 SVN once you've sorted out the new hook architecture.
