Preview Hidden Products in Interspire Shopping Cart
Interspire Shopping Cart admins need to preview products before they go live.
Yep, we’re talking about Interspire once again today.
The Interspire Shopping Cart doesn’t allow you to preview products that you are editing without making the product live in the store. This is plain silly; it’s vital for store owners to make sure their products pages look just as they expect when they make the product live in their store. As it is currently (in Interspire 5.5.x), this is not possible.
All it takes is one minor change in code, and your world gets a lot easier.
Add ‘Customers Also Purchased’ to the Cart Page on Interspire Shopping Cart
“Customers Also Purchased” should be on the cart page, right?
The Interspire Shopping Cart has a “Customers Also Bought” feature, but for some reason, they didn’t think to make it functional on the cart page — one of the most useful (and obvious) places to have the feature. This modification will allow you to place the SideProductAlsoBought panel into your theme’s cart.html template, using the %%Panel.SideProductAlsoBought%% placeholder in the template.
Goals of this mod
- Keep the existing “Also Bought/Purchased” functionality working on product pages
- Add “Also Bought/Purchased” functionality to the cart page
- Give an option where it will only display “Also Bought” for the most recently added product
With those goals in mind, I went about implementing a solution, which is below:
Generate CSS Body Classes in Interspire Shopping Cart
If you’re used to WordPress’ body_class() function, this post for you.
Working with WordPress, it’s easy to get accustomed to some of its nice features, like the body_class() function introduced in WP 2.8. When working with Interspire Shopping Cart, I wanted the same level of information added to the page’s <body> tag.
Improve Interspire Shopping Cart Search with Smart Redirections
Good search results are magical
I am always impressed when a website’s search goes where I want and finds what I expect it to. When trying to find a specific product by SKU in Interspire, you will be presented with a search result that shows the product you’re looking for first. But this is not good enough, as it adds an extra click in the process.
If your users are specific enough to type in an exact product name, brand name, product SKU or product ID, you better get them to the product they want, right away — they’re likely to buy! I don’t want to show them a search results page, I want them to see the product or brand page itself.
How to Add an `Edit Product` Link for Interspire Shopping Cart
Why can’t I just click a link to edit the product I’m viewing?
Interspire, I love ya, but the Interspire Shopping Cart has some silly omissions. Like a simple “Edit Product” link if you’re logged in as an administrator. Instead, you have to go to the backend, search for the product, then edit it…which takes a solid 20 seconds.
Well, I got tired of that, so here’s a way to generate a proper Edit Product link.
