Paypal ecommerce toolkit!

[mathuman]

Hei,

Some nice people directed me to download "Paypal ecommerce toolkit for
Dreamweaver" from [url]www.webassist.com[/url] site.

I did. But I am new guy.

What are some of the next few steps required to mix dreamweaver and the
toolkit for them to be working together?

I mean like install the toolkit and it automatically goet to dreamweaver, or
manually put it, or where in dreamweaver I find it later etc. Just a few tips,

Thanks you for all those help me in the first place.

Hi Mathuman:
There are several ways to install the extension:
The easiest way is double clicking on the mxp file you should have
downloaded. A program called Extension Manager will open and will prompt you
to accept some license agreements (click accept). It's recommended to keep
DW closed at this point (if it's open, you will have to restart it later).

When the extension has been installed, you should see it in the list of
installed extensions in Extension Manager. Selecting it will display some
info about it. It's very likely that the info will include the menu or menus
from where you can access the extension in DW.

Now, you have both the extension installed and the info you need to use it:
Open DW and happy Paypalin' 8-)

Hei Andres,

Thanks heaps. It is working now. It basically installs it by itself.

I had another questions regarding this issue.

This "paypal ecommerce toolkit" I downloaded from webassist is working
alright. But I think I have to manually and individually attach the shopping
cart system for each product on the website. These paypal toolkit come under
"Insert" menu. But I do not think they are server behaviors. As such they do
not work dynamically in sync with database.

Am I right?

Do you know why this can be done Dynamically? Or where to download "paypal
server behaviors" which dynamically generates the "add to cart" button and the
product info in sync with Database.

Thanks again,
Mathuman

It's very likely that you must send the product_id to Paypal, so it
shouldn't be hard to put the "add to cart" button inside a repeat region and
edit the static code added by the toolkit to work with dynamic data. e.g:
static code:
<a href="http://paypal.com?productid=23">add to cart</a>

Dynamic code:
<?php do { ?>
<a href=http://paypal.com?productid=<?php echo $row_Recordset1['id'];
?>">Add to cart</a>
<?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>

This way, the id sent to paypal is dynamically addet to each item
