Integrating with DotNetNuke

[robk]

Hi, I am attempting to integrate e-junkie with DotNetNuke. The problem I am having is that DotNetNuke (dnn) is an asp.net application and as such every page that is rendered to the browser is a form. Since the e-junkie Add To Cart button uses forms (I'm using variants) to submit its data, it clashes with asp.net and so the button does absolutely nothing. I have been able to remove the form tag and use an onclick to submit the form data to e-junkie and it does work, however it does so by transferring the browser window to e-junkie instead of the cool pop-up shopping cart. The reason is because in order to get it working I could not use the Javascript function included with e-junkie code to pop-up the cart.



My question is, there must be a way to get this to work so that the shopping cart works as a pop-up. But I don't know how to pass my form variants into the pop-up function. Every time I try, the item shows up in the pop-up shopping cart but none of the variants are shown.



Can someone provide some insight into how to get this working? I don't think this is an e-junkie question per se, it is an html/javascript problem. And given my limited knowledge of both, I'm stuck.



Thanks for any help.

I've sent you a private email about some new tutorial content that's still a work in progress and not ready for public primetime yet, but since your needs are immediate, I reckoned referring you to that info in rough-draft form was better than not at all. If you need further explanation or clarification of that material, please respond to that email directly.

Tyson - Is that tutorial you referred to "primetime" now? Where can I find it? I am interested in using E-Junkie with my own DotNetNuke website, much like RobK. I'd love to keep the sweet pop-up cart functionality if I can.



Thanks!

I'm sending you a direct email with the link to that tutorial draft. We've just been too busy with routine support and updating our primary help-page documentation to get around to polishing off that particular tutorial side-project yet.

Hi,



Just wondering if the documentation has been released for DotNetNuke yet?

[E-junkie_Guru]

We have now posted that tutorial here:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/tips.variants.button-tutorial.htm



It's not specific to DotNetNuke, but the techniques described there would certainly work for that platform. Note this is only necessary for products using our Variants/Variations settings to give buyers a menu selection of options for the product. Our button code for simple products that have no buyer-selectable options should work fine as-is with DNN.
