Hi, I've put a site together for a customer selling a selection of products online. I'm pretty new to this and really could do with help on a couple of things if anyone can spare the time? I've set it up so people can buy through her paypal account using a Dreamweaver plugin that generates the buttons/code etc for the site. This all seams to be working fine but she's asked for a couple of things that I'm not sure how to do/ These are: Can she give her friends a 10% discount code to enter when they buy through her website? When I've done a test run through of buying something on the site, I can see an area where you can enter a discount code but I've no idea how to generate one. I've looked through the PayPal account and still had no luck... Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this? The other thing... She mentioned that if someone adds a product to their cart, then clicks continue shopping, then looks back through the site to buy something else... If they then decide not do buy that additional item and just proceed with what they first added to the cart, there's no way back to the shopping cart because that browser window closed to continue shopping. Is there a way to have a link on the webpages to 'view cart'?? Oh one last thing... I've added all the products, descriptions, prices etc and it generates code similar to this... <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" /> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="webassist.dreamweaver.4_5_0" /> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="email@jxxxx.co.uk" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Liquid Soap" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Jasmine" /> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="7.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP" /> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="4.95" /> <input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="00.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="handling" value="00.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.xxxx.co.uk/success.html" /> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.xxxx.co.uk/cancel.html" /> <input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="email@xxxx.co.uk" /> <input type="hidden" name="mrb" value="RXXX" /> <input type="hidden" name="pal" value="XXX" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0" /> <input type="image" name="submit" src="images/buy-now.jpg" border="0" alt="Click here to purchase this product" /> </form> Now you can see that it costs £4.95 for shipping. Is there an option to have optional shipping so that people who wish to collect the item locally, can opt out of the £4.95? Thanks very much

Hi all, I'd be grateful if someone could let me take a look at a customer contract/payment agreement as up until now, I have just had word of mouth agreements with clients and received payment from them once the job is complete. Unfortunately I have recently been 'stung' for payment and have no written agreement regarding sedign stages, payment dates etc. I'd appreciate if anyone had any advice about creating a new contract and what needs to be included or if I could use your one as inspiration and change the relevant info? Many thanks Jamie

Hi, I'm looking to build a simple joomla based website just to upload photos and videos to similar to Facebook. Ideally I'd like to be able to simply upload photos as well as videoclips from my iPhone and write comments underneath them. Maybe even have the feature where viewers can add comments too.. I know this is a big ask but as I'm new to joomla, I wondered if anyone knows if there is already a module similar to this out there? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jamie

LOL I will do, just being lazy! I see you're in Northampton? Neighbours nearly...

Thanks very much Blue Dreamer, I don't suppose you have a link for me to check out an example gallery you've created? Thanks

I have a client who regularly supply me with new photos to upload to his gallery on his website. This is starting to get a little tedious and I wondered if there is a way where I can embed a photo gallery into the websites and the client upload their own photos? I've looked at external galleries like coppermine and Flickr etc but these look very messy and have their own branding. Is there a way that I can integrate a CMS photo gallery into the existing site so that he can upload photos and create various galleries within one page, or does anyone know of a very simple photo gallery that I may be able to skin myself? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks

Has anyone got any thoughts on this pleaaaaassssseeee??? you can see what I mean at www. clockwork - design dot com /CLIENTS/Clockwork2011 Any help or advice would b massively appreciated!! ;o) Thanks

Hi I'm just re-designing my new website and it's almost complete. Problem is, I've just realised on some pages when my navigation dropdown menu drops over an area on the page where I have used Cufon to change the title font, the dropdown doesnt work properly!! Has anyone come across this before of know of a quick fix? I don't want to change my titles to jpeg images and really would like to avoid having to stick to Georgia or Times. Please feel free to private message me for a link to the problem so you can see for yourself. Any advise will be appreciated Thanks

No.... Where is that option? I set it up using a PayPal Dreamweaver extension

No I'm logged out at the mo. Just trying to work out how potential customers can pay using their cards if they dont have a Paypal account ;o(

I've put a very simple website together for a customer and now they asked if it can have a buy online function. As there are only a few products, I suggested Paypal as I've done it before in the past. Now... When a potential customer looks at the one I have done previously and clicks to buy online, they get the option to log into their Paypal account to make a payment OR if they don't have a Paypal account, they can purchase using their debit or credit cards. This new site, I've set up the same way but when you go through to make a payment, you don't get the option to pay by cards!!! I'm not sure if I missed something or where I find to add this option. Can anyone shine some light on it for me please before the client chews my ear off? ;o) Many thanks

Hi All, I've been asked by a client to build him a website where he can upload his photos to and set individual prices for them. Then visitors can view his collection of photos, select one they like, pay for it and download the high res photo... Does anyone know if there is already such a Joomla extension available to buy off the shelf?? I've had a look around but with no luck. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'd like to add a calendar to a client's website I'm putting together for a holiday property to let. It would need to have the facility where the client can amend it himself... For example, if the property is already let on a certain weekend, he can mark it on the calendar as 'not available' to save anyone else making an enquiry for the same weekend. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks

Oh yeah, I'm such a numpty, I see what I've done wrong! Thanks so much

I'm pretty sure, that's what is says, allocate a blank div and the slideshow should appear there...

Hi, I'm putting together a very simple site and am trying to incorporate the following slideshow script: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm I'm pretty sure I've done everything but still no luck with it working! I'd really appreciate if someone with a bit more savvy than myself could cast their eye over what I've done and let me know where I've gone wrong... You can see what I've put together at www.medit eria dot com/2011 (no spaces). The slideshow should appear on the products page. Many thanks

Dave.... You are a genius! Works a treat. thank you so much

Hi, I've put together a rough template of a site I'm building but just noticed that It's not displaying properly in Firefox for some reason. Looks OK in Safari, Chrome etc I'd be grateful if someone could cast their eye over it for me, call me dooshbag, and show me where I've gone wrong!!! The site is (without the spaces) www. mid dle farm brac kley dot co dot uk /2011 Many thanks :-)

Do you fancy giving me a price to put it together for me? Cheers

Hi Mteam, that looks exactly what Im after, works very smooth, just a bit beyond me I think! ;o(

Ideally, I'm looking for something like this... http://javascript-array.com/scripts/multi_level_drop_down_menu/?sb Thanks

I've found lots of free dropdown menu scripts but I'm after a multi-level drop down menu scrip. I've Googled it and found either pay for versions or really basic, amateur looking ones. Does anyone know where I can find a really smooth looking free script anywhere? Much appreciated Jamie

Thanks mate!! That works a treat!

Thanks Wickham, That's very nice but not exactly what I'm after.. I need a solution to fit a lot of text into a smaller area on the page and a nicer on the eye way of scrolling down than the standard scroll bars you get on the right hand side. Jamie

Hi, I regularly add sites to Google places and at the end of the process it gives you an option to send a verification code by text, telephone or postcard. I've just set up another one and this time I only get the option for postcard????? Has anyone else experienced this or know if there's a way that I can receive the code via txt? Thanks Jamie
