BitShop - cryptocurrency shopping cart script [PHP/MYSQL] (v1.1.2)

[HELP4LINDA]

Paid for the single time download, used wget on the unique URL and forgot to add the appropriate flag. It now doesn't let me download it and says I must wait 7 days when it's going to expire in 2~. I know I paid for a single time download but I didn't actually manage to download it. I did use the "Contact US" page.

Don't worry, I bet bf! will allow you to download once more, as soon as he reads it.

Change the permissions to readable/writeable (chmod 666) of /inc/config.php and /sci/config.php.

What hosting do you use? If it's your own, it might be a problem with non-exist some of php module - on the server side.

PS. Also change r/w permission of /ticker/weighted_prices.json

I'm hosting the files from a VPS that's running Ubuntu 12.04 =p.

Try: apt-get install php5-gd
Then restart apache/nginx service or... reboot your VPS ;-)

And you fixed the final problem... thank you my man. Appreciate it a LOT.

Just got another report of the "Status: Call to a member function query() on null" error so I looked into it and found the cause. That error message will show up on the default payment gateway whenever the check-status.php script tries to access the database because a database connection is not established in the check-status.php script. I didn't notice that issue because the only time it needs to access the database is to update the status of the order if it has expired or if it was underpaid. However if your settings require 1 or more confirmations that error will probably occur all the time because it will try to update the status of the order to "payment pending", meaning it has been paid but doesn't have enough confirmations yet.

Anyway, the problem can be fixed by calling connect_to_db() after line 15 in the /sci/check-status.php file so that it looks like this:

Code:

if (!empty($_GET['t'])) {
  $conn = connect_to_db();

EDIT: sorry I forgot the "$conn =" part, make sure to include that or the fix wont work.

@Bitfreak

Been following your work for a long time and will be a big supporter for the future.

Bitshop is the underlying script for my upcoming gemstone shop revitalization. I recently purchased a license with 6 months support but the script was easy enough to set up so I have had no questions so far. Customizing it has been easy.

Keep up the great work!

Version 1.0.9 of BitShop has been released. It fixes a few small problems and the database problem mentioned in my last post.

@c0ffer: thank you for the positive comment, if you need any help at any time let me know.

You're very welcome.


Quick question (hopefully):

When using an altcoin for payments, it looks like the SCI only does RPC calls.
Does the SCI only use block explorer calls for Bitcoin payments or am I missing the spot where the altcoin block explorer URL is set?

Thanks in advance

Users can sell products or just admin can? I registered and can't see option to sell anything, and i'm interested of buy it.

If you want to use the default payment gateway to accept altcoins then the only way is to set up a daemon for that altcoin. However you can also use the GoCoin gateway to accept certain altcoins and they will handle it all for you.

Just thought I should let you guys know I have created an official BitShop forum where you can discuss all things related to BitShop. It will also be the place to find official and unofficial BitShop mods/extensions. There aren't any mods yet obviously but read: The situation with BitShop modifcations for more information on that. I have also created a Common Problems and FAQ thread which should help answer a lot of common questions and problems that new users run into.

Also checkout the new bitfreak.info homepage, its looking nice and sexy. I basically just decided to remove all the outdated stuff and turn it into a simple portal type page which contains links to the BitShop store and forum and other stuff I'm involved with.

Thank you for the info on this and nice work on the new site.


For those who think this sort of thing is interesting I have accomplished the following with the Bitshop script:

The store has been customized to accept c0fferC0in which presented a few interesting challenges in getting the shop to work the way I wanted.

I was in the process of getting the daemon working in conjunction with the store but before that could be applied I had to handle pricing. All stores handle pricing as crypto is converted to national currency at the time of purchase. c0fferC0in prices do not change that way, prices are fixed so the cart had to be modified for showing pricing in c0fferC0in as well as BTC and national currency.

Price info had to be passed along to the processor. In this store you can not use c0fferC0in to purchase shipping so I had to add conditions for that during the checkout process as well.

I added a fallback during the checkout process that has the script switch to block explorer API if it gets errors trying to interact with the daemon. This lead to adding an altcoin address list with similar functionality to that of the BTC address list. There is no admin functionality so it just checks for the addresses during the fallback. If it is successful with RPC then it gets the address from the daemon, if not it goes to the list. The script is well organized so this was fairly straightforward.

I still have some testing to complete but from what I can see with the store you can shop for items and make purchases using BTC or c0fferC0in and the whole thing is as seamless as the original.

With some custom graphics and a little bit of CSS tweaking it has become a nice application of the Bitshop script that will be coming to life soon and ready for new shoppers. VERY happy about this


On the subject of mods for the script, it would be great if it could accept 3rd party mods so others could build on it's functionality in a standardized way... Plug-ins
