Hi

I have just installed your superb module, and added the cafepressbox class to the main module directory. After enabling and configuring it on the settings page, I have no idea how to access the contents. I though like other modules, there'd be some page ... I'm not good at php if one has to do additional complex programming. I looked at readme & install.txt, but I did not get what i thought I needed. I then quickly registered at the given support forum only to realize posting is blocked.

What can I do, how exactly do I make use of that class? Suppose I am supposed to make a page to act as the store front, exactly what do I add there to show random images or all the images?

Is there anyway if one has more than one shop to create more than one storefront or show random images from different shops?

Thanks & regards

Took me a little while to figure it out, too. You have to add it as a "block" and determine where it'll live/show up.

Go to administer->site building->blocks->CafePress Block and select a slot for it (Sidebar Right, etc).

Then it'll show up in your sidebar showing a random item from the directory you chose and if people click on it, they'll go to your cafepress store and view that item.

I *might* try to do some additional programming on the module... Not sure if time will allow, but I'll let people know here if/when it happens.

Hi
Many thanks for responding. :)

I installed the module at this trial site http://www.orbit.x10hosting.com/drupal/ ...
After adding that class.cafepressbox.php mentioned in the readme text in modules/cafepress, I uploaded it & enabled it.
I went to the settings page & added my shop's ID.

For some reason, no pictures are shown (as yet). Does one need to do anything to that class, if so apart from adding it to the module folder, what could that be?
What more can I do so I do not have to manually get images?

It'd definitely be great, time allowing if you would do "some additional programming on the module". I'm probably not the only person interested in any developments. If I knew some programming, I would help, but alas ...

PS...
After posting this, I tried the option with downloaded images and that's the one with the articles showing.
Is there anyway images from more than one shop could be shown on one Drupal site?

Thanks & regards

I also am unable to get the class.cafepressbox.php to work. I have it in the module folder, but it's still not pulling anything in from my cafepress store. Does something need to be done to "activate" it?

Did anyone successfully get class.cafepressbox.php to work? I am unable to pull any items.

Thanks for the help..
