Don’t use the Interspire Shopping Cart? Check it out; it rocks.
The Interspire Shopping Cart is a great tool, but it’s missing some stuff out of the box.

I am working on a shopping cart for a client, and wanted to incorporate a drop down menu of brand names using a standard <select> form. Sounds easy, right? Well, it’s not included in the Interspire cart. Read more&hellip
The Interspire cart has few brand options out of the box:
- The Brands tag cloud – using the
SideBrandTagCloud.html Panel
- Brands unordered list – using the
SideShopByBrand.html or SideShopByBrandFull.html Panels
This tutorial will show you how to add a brands drop down menu in 5 steps.
I’m going to elaborate on this further (and about Interspire in general), but for those of you who want to make WordPress functions available throughout your shopping cart, here’s how:
Before the closing ?> in the init.php file, add the following code:
require(realpath(ISC_BASE_PATH).'/blog-directory/wp-blog-header.php');, where /blog-directory/ is your WP installation. If you installed it in the root directory, then you’d simply need require(realpath(ISC_BASE_PATH).'/wp-blog-header.php');.
Voila! That simple. Any questions?
