eZenphoto v1 – a full featured cart for Zenphoto released June 26th, 2009
Our user Nimbuz who formerly wrote the old and now outdated zenPaypal plugin just relased his shopping cart solution eZenphoto. It supports PayPal and credit card processing and has many options for shipping methods, taxes etc.
Sadly it is not yet a true Zenphoto plugin but Nimbuz “promised” that for the next version…:-)
More detailed info and download on www.ezenphoto.com.
Note: This is a third party solution and not officially supported by the Zenphoto team.

does not work at all….
can you mail me a detailed how-to install it?
You have to contact its developer. This is a third party solution not supported by the offical Zenphoto team.
@ariops: Couldn’t you say something like “I can’t get it to work” or something better than “doesn’t work at all”? Of course it works, I’ve tested it several times! And next time when you write about a problem, be more specific.
ZenPhoto with the shopping plugin is something I was looking for a while. I’m sure you spent long hours developing it.
I just started setting up site for one of my clients and here is the problem I encountered -> http://www.wagnerwildlife.com/Flowers/P4100284.jpg_595.jpg.php
Please provide any feedback
Thanks
Please ask questions on our forum for example on this thread http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=5592#post-32462 or contact the eZenphoto developer directly.
I can’t figure out the installation guide, is there a more detailed installation howto / tutorial? thanks.
Please contact the developer. You may also use the eZenphoto forum thread.
Here’s an updated installation guide with steps I figured out via trial/error.
Let me know if you still need more details. Perhaps together we can all create a better document.
I’ll post an update once I figure out how to do the paypal integration.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. “upload” directory contains all the files and folders required for installation. Copy this directory or the contents of this directory to your desired location, usually root (/).
1.a Be sure to do steps 2-5 first, before uploading. It’s easier to edit files locally on your pc, then upload.
1.b By “upload”, this means all files & folders UNDER the “upload” folder, not the upload folder itself.
1.c “Usually root…” is not very descriptive, so I’ll elaborate…. In ZenPhoto, you can create individual galleries by installing ZenPhoto in individual folders under your “public_html” folder. I have 2 folders so far: Private and Public. In the ZenPhoto admin screen, under “edit”, I see these folders as 2 separate galleries. If I want to add paypal capability to either gallery, I’ll upload these files & folders to the folder with that gallery name. But first, backup your gallery folder contents (no need to backup the album) before you upload the edited files (per steps 2-5) to the gallery folder.
2. Create a Database and Import “db.sql” to the database.
2.a For hosted web sites, you will need to create the database through them. Consult your host site administrator, if you don’t know how to do this.
2.b Your hosted site should have a way to run SQLs. I use Hostmonster, so I’m familiar with how they handle it. I can run this SQL via PHPMyAdmin.
3. Update database details (user, pass and db name) in the following files:
– upload/zp-core/zp-config.php
– upload/shop/db/access.inc.php
3.a Do this editing BEFORE uploading to your web site. It’s easier to do the editing on your local pc.
3.b This is pretty much self-explanatory. If you don’t know the syntax for your database name, user name, etc., you should consult your host site’s administrator. This took me awhile to decode, but once I understood it, I got it to work.
4. Update RewriteBase path in upload/.htaccess.
4.a Same as 3.
5. All Done!
5.a Well, not quite. You still need to do the setup via the admin screens. Links are listed below.
5.b If you are not familiar with the syntax, you can access the eZenPhoto admin screen by typing the following in the url field at the top of your browser: http://www.websitename.com/shop/admin/, where “websitename” is the name of your website, and I’m assuming “com”, but you may replace this with whatever you use: net, org, etc.
5.c This is as far as I got up to now. I still need to connect this all to paypal itself. I’ll add more to this as I figure it out.
Zenphoto Admin: /zp-core/admin.php (Default User:Password = admin:admin)
Shop Admin: /shop/admin/ (Default User:Password = admin:admin)

Hi,
I am trying to configure the paypal API, what exactly do I need to do, do you have some sort of readme.txt on this ?
Do i need a premier or business paypal account, and how do I setup the paypal API to work with ezenphoto? (presumably, once you have the right account/details setup with paypal you just have to fill in the username/password and signature in ezenphoto right ?)
Anyone able to give me any pointers on this ?
Thanks a lot.
Greg.
Greg, please see the comment above to contact the eZenphoto developers directly or use the forumon the thread I posted the link to above.
Hi
this is amazing, seriously amazing, really clean simple and I love the fact it uses api for paypal. only thing!! how can you change the pass for the ezp admin area, is it the configure file ? and the states, if you live out side the US how do you choose a county or state ? because the transaction cant be complete until a proper state and tel number are given, and if you live out side the US you can choose a state.
once again amazing work and well done !
