Pre Order Plugin or Page Help
« on: October 24, 2014, 05:07:32 pm »
Can someone please direct me if something already exists what I am trying to do:
1. All I want is my users (After login) will click a button that will say: Yes I want to pre Order this product and if possible user select a quantity like a cart
This button will be displayed on a specific classified.
Once the button is clicked, an email to both the admin and user will be sent confirming how many product and who (phone, email, name etc) will be sent
2. Admin can generate a report of the details data that is who to send the product when it is available. I don't need any payment gateway etc now so no shopping capability etc.
If this can be done with simple page I okay with that or even a plugin
Please help and Thank you

I am pretty sure it would be easier to do with eCommerce script, because:
- you miss quantities of listings
- you miss cart > order functions in osclass
- in case you would like to use also payments, you would need to code whole gateway

All those are available in any eCommerce. What is your reason to pushing this into osclass?

Yes I agree that it should be done in ecommerce and I did it with woocomerce that is integrated to osclass. Take a look here:
http://khanslist.com/extensions/shop/choper-18m-bicycle-pre-order-now/

It would be nice if I can simply integrate it within osclass. Also I Want it to display as premium ad. Or may be with a carousel on the front page or something.
Second question, is there any slider that I can use on osc just like the wooslider so I can feature that pre order product on my front page with some large slideshow?
Thanks

Another idea came to mind....
Is there anyway using a plugin, can I show that above woocomerce page from an osclass ad page via a frame or iframe something like that?
So the complete transaction stays within osclass and users don't even realize they are using woocomerce?

- do not use iframes if you do not have to
- you would do cross-iframe opperations that I think will not work or will be problematic

Ok I will need to go back to the drawing board....

Are there a simple plugin that my users can login and click on a button saying "I want one" that will trigger a counter and emails?

It does not have to be a shopping cart capable button.
It is like an event reservation, I want /I am coming etc
Do you think of any such plugin that you can point to me??

@bengalliboy
Not sure if there is any that fits your requirements, since your request is very specific.
There is Offer Button plugin, that do similar thing.

I have installed this plugin and modified my item.php added the hook for it: <?php offer_button(); ?>
However no error but it does not show up on my item detail page. What am I doing wrong?
http://khanslist.com/for-sale/everything-else/booking-started-stylish-bicycle_i6367

I enabled it on admin and specified what category and it allowed me to edit the listing from admin , checked marked the 'enable' offer already.

Is this a bug or is it something I am missing?
Thanks for your help

I have never used this plugin, you should place your question to plugin thread:
