Hello everyone, I am looking for a way to pass off a simple payment to paypal using our own interface. I understand that this requires making full use of Paypal''s API since we won''t be using their shopping cart or anything. I found the article by Pranav Bihari on his site and in the Wiki on using SOAP4R and the paypal WSDL file to interface with paypal web services, but I

Hi, I have a reeally big problem with understanding how to use ActiveMerchant, Perhaps someone would point me to a different solution to my problem. I need to build a little web shop which will be based in the UK, and my customer wants to use PayPal Express Checkout, because there''s no monthly fee. So far I had only problems with ActiveMerchant examples because: 1) they are way too

Hello Everyone ! Wanted to announce the launch of a new, 100%, Ruby/Rails based shopping system. http://www.rightcart.com (our blog: http://www.rightcartblog.com) It''s basically a shopping widget that allows users to make purchases directly through the widget.... no need to be redirected to a third party shopping cart. You can sell anything you want by upload the products onto the

While talking about my RailsConf presentation with Ben Wiseley, he suggested writing a book on the same topic... so I did! The Money Train is an e-book about building e-commerce sites using Ruby on Rails. Read my blog entry about it at http://www.bencurtis.com/archives/ 2006/06/rails-e-commerce-e-book/ or head to http:// www.agilewebdevelopment.com/book to dive right in. As always, a big

Hi all i am following this like for basic paypal http://railscasts.com/episodes/141-paypal-basics and i got this error View: <%= link_to "Checkout", @cart.paypal_url() %> undefined method `paypal_url'' for nil:NilClass despite i have this code in my model called Card Cart Model: class Cart < ActiveRecord::Base def paypal_url(return_url) values = {

Webgen uses file paths to generate multilevel menues, bread crumbs etc. And limits the character range in paths to a-zA-Z. As the directory names are used verbatim as menu labels this is fairly limitting for non-english pages. Is there a way to map directory names to configurable UTF8 strings for menu labels? oao

Has anyone been able to make direct API calls to PayPal in currencies other than USD? I get an error message "The currency code submitted is not supported. Check the currency code and try again." I''m using the PayPal plugin for Rails. I can successfully transact in USD, but not AUD (Australian Dollars). Cheers, Dan

I have a partial, it''s a shopping cart display, it''s designed to appear on several different pages of my site. One of the buttons on the shopping cart empties the cart, and then I want the calling page to redisplay. In other words, the cart controller needs to return the visitor to the same page -- however since the cart could appear on any given page, this has to be

I am using this line on my index.rhtml page to capture the quantity required of a particular item for a basic shopping cart app: <%= text_field ''line_item'', ''quantity'', {:size=>3} %> </td> but my next screen (a cart screen) doesn''t reflect what was entered in that text field when the item is added to the cart. That is,

Hi there, I''m at a loss... I was on the #ROR channel last night and spoke to a really helpful person (Defiler) who gave me some direction on building a shopping cart. Unfortunately, I wasn''t able to successfully get to where I need to go. This is the predicament I am currently finding myself in: I''m building a shopping cart for a client''s new website. They

We''re currently looking for volunteers on the new RailsCart[1] project. The idea is to build something relatively simple with all of the features that most open source shopping carts seem to be missing. We''ll be using ActiveMerchant for all of our payment gateway needs. We''re not trying to build the ultimate shopping cart. This is designed for Rails developers who need

I have a shopping cart function, and I''d like to set it up to update the cart with AJAX. My AJAX call will return a view that displays the cart items. My question is with regards to keeping things DRY. When the user goes to "view cart", that page needs to display the cart, then the cart display needs to update with AJAX calls when items are added from that page. It would

Hi, I''m trying to make a simple shopping cart, where I want to maintain state when a use logs in from different location. Consider the following : 1. ''foo'' logs in from home pc and add ''bar'' item to the cart. 2. ''foo'' goes to office and logs in from office PC. 3. Now I want only one session for ''foo'', so that when

Is there some kind of extended debug that might show why my maildir is not foundat login? It has worked off and on, once briefly today then no more. I'm going around twiddling knobs guessing at this point which is foolish. I need some real bread crumbs to indicate what is going wrong. I've tried all kinds of .conf file ... example file etc. I figured using the least number of settings

In the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book it runs through making an example application, a shopping cart. In one of the views files, there is one line of code I dont understand (below), I dont know what the "h" is for, also I took the h out, and it did not affect the application (as far as i could see). <%= h(product.title) %> Can anyone shed some light on this

I am working on a crude first-go-round-in-rails shopping cart and can''t figure out for the life of me the best way to do this. I have a shopping cart that has one page during the checkout that handles the address information, then the next handles the actual credit card information. How do I take the information from the address form and keep it alive long enough to put it in to

Hello everyone, I''m a complete Rails newbie who is currently working my way through the Agile Web Dev with Rails book. I''ve reached the chapter on creating the shopping cart (chapter 8). I keep having a problem with the same error which I can''t get past, however what''s more confusing is that it''s being generated even when I swap all my app code out

I just started to learn RoR because I need to create a relatively simple but important application due next month. The Shopping cart app in this book is going ok but I have a question. Is the complexity of the shopping cart example in this book representitive of a real world application? Note that i am not saying if the application is production quality, I mean the
