Cerberus Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I would be grateful if you would take a look at http://www.egyptiandreams.co.uk and let me know what you think. This site was originally being developed totally from scratch in php until I found osCommerce. A very big 'thank you' to everyone involved with developing osCommerce.

Guest Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Very, very nice! Gives you the feeling of the desert and Egypt, just right! It loads fast and seems to function well. Good job! The only thing I would change is the two-toned background of the product listings....not quite the right shades of brown. They need to be a "warmer" tone to blend with the rest of the site.

burt Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Nice work, is your site live for taking orders ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 Kim - Thanks, I tried to make it a desert theme. I meant to change those colours in the product listing and completely forgot. I don't like them either! :) Gary - Thanks, yes it is live. I have about half of my stock and hopefully the rest will arrive early next week. All I need now are customers - here's hoping. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Can somebody please take a look at my site: http://www.egyptiandreams.co.uk and let me know if the images are displaying ok. I have just had an email from a potential customer saying that she couldn't get the images to show. :cry: Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Kevin, What browser was the customer using? I checked with IE6 and NS7, works fine in both. I did notice one interesting difference between the two though...In IE6 there is a gap above the logo, in NS7 the logo is flush with the top.

Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hi Kim, thanks for responding. The customer is using Internet Explorer 6.0; WinXP, 1024x768 16bit colour (sorry can't be anymore specific than this :D) Guess I need to install some other browsers to test it myself. I currently only have I.E 5.5 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Just had an email from the customer - it appears she was having problems at her end. Thanks for taking a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belladonna Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Quite a nice site ... works well ... has an eqyptian touch to it ;) Some small things to consider. Not too thrilled about the top graphic: - a bit on the large side - seems to be low on quality - beveled edges create a 3D impression, which doesn't fit the rest of the site - it looks to be cut off on the left ... I would expect it to follow a path to the bottom. The standard "horizontal rulers" in your product categories box can be controlled using stylesheets. Other than that, nicely done. :) Take care, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Total nightmare!! I have just looked at my admin section and it appears that I have received my first order - great! Unfortunately it still says Paypal processing. My stock totals have not been updated, my Paypal account doesn't have any record of their order, but in the admin section of my site it has their order details. I am using the latest paypal ipn contribution and had tested this quite extensively before making the site live, and everything seemed to go ok. Has anyone come across this before? How long does it take for paypal to process? When I tested it, it worked instantly. I have no idea what to do now. The customer is probably sitting at home thinking she is going to get her order but obviously I cannot ship until I actually get the payment. Any ideas, I'm really worried by this. Thanks.

Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 I forgot to mention, I also didn't/haven't received any email notifications, either from my site or paypal. When testing, these worked ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Kevin, This is strictly supposition...but, your customer is probably new to PayPal and has just set-up her account...you should be able to check and see if she is "verified" yet. If she isn't verified, just drop her an email and let her know that as soon as the payment is received the order will be shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Kim, how would I check if she is verified? I don't know her paypal details as I haven't had confirmation? BTW - I have just checked paypal's site and if anyone from the UK is interested, it looks like they have just started allowing Swith and Solo cards.

dreamscape Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Kevin, it could be they chose Paypal as payment and when they got to the paypal screen, they decided against ordering and just closed out... with the IPN if a customer goes to the paypal screen, it is set in the database as an order and as processing, even if they don't login to paypal to pay... so it would show up as "paypal processing"... if it stays "paypal processing" for more than 10 business days, I think it is safe to say that the customer decided against ordering, especially if the fund are not in your account.

Cerberus Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Joshua, I didn't think of that. Have sent the customer an email asking them to verify they actually did order and will take it from there. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
