A customer can reach to a product page from the front page, ‘Most sold’ and ‘New product’ on the right column and a category page.
Download Page
We will display all the information which we entered in the back-end. A large image, name, short description, long description, price and a BUY link which add the product details in a shopping cart and display a message to notice the customer that it added the product to the shopping cart.
webshop controller
You need to add the following function product() to module/webshop/controllers/webshop.php.
I am not using colors and sizes for the webshop. However I kept these features, so if you need, you can use them for your webshop.
The details are commented in the code.
function product($id){
$product = $this->MProducts->getProduct($id);
/** this returns all, i.e. id, name, shortdesc, longdesc, thumbnail,
* image, grouping, status, category_id, featured and price
* from product db.
*/
if (!count($product)){
// no product so redirect
redirect( $this->lang->line('webshop_folder').'/index','refresh');
}
$data['product'] = $product;
$data['title'] = $this->lang->line('webshop_shop_name')." | ". $product['name'];
// I am not using colors and sizes, but you can.
$data['assigned_colors'] = $this->MProducts->getAssignedColors($id);
$data['assigned_sizes'] = $this->MProducts->getAssignedSizes($id);
$data['page'] = $this->config->item('backendpro_template_shop') . 'product';
$data['module'] = $this->lang->line('webshop_folder');
$this->load->view($this->_container,$data);
}
view/product.php
module/webshop/views/shop/product.php
<div id='pleft'>
<?php
if ($this->session->flashdata('conf_msg')){
echo "<div class='status_box'>";
echo $this->session->flashdata('conf_msg');
echo "</div>";
}
?>
<?php
echo "<img src='".$product['image']."' border='0' align='left'/>\n";
echo "<div id=\"procont\"><h2>".$product['name']."</h2>\n";
echo $product['shortdesc'] . "<br />\n";
echo $product['longdesc'] . "\n";
echo "<br />";
echo "<p><b>".$this->lang->line('webshop_price')."</b>: ". $this->lang->line('webshop_currency_symbol'). $product['price']. "</p>\n";
echo '<p><a class="cartlinkbut" href="' . site_url()."/".
$this->lang->line('webshop_folder').'/cart/'.$product['id'].
'"><span class="addtocart addcart">'.$this->lang->line('webshop_buy').'</span></a></p></div>';
?>
</div>
‘BUY’ has a link to a shopping cart.
I am using $this->lang->line(‘webshop_price’) for Price so that it is easy to convert to other languages. You just need to create a language folder and file. For example, module/webshop/language/norwegian/webshop_lang.php.
And you just need to load it instead of English.
If you are using more than one language, you can find a nice library or helper in Codeigniter wiki.

Hi
I tried downloading and installing your freshly published Shopping cart V1.1
a great share Thanks. I’ll be sharing back anything I can return to you.
the back end works great but I guess there’s something missing for the Front End (probably Webshop )
there’s no controler and in the routes the route is directed to “webshop”
and the webshop Tutorial doesn’t have any controler
I must be missing something .
on the root of my site I get this :
An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load your default controller. Please make sure the controller specified in your Routes.php file is valid.

@Tibor: No, the download zip for V1.1 does not have any webshop folder/files at the moment. I wrote it in the download page telling that you need to follow the articles to build up the module. It’s part of learning, I hope. When the series finishes, I will add it.
Shinokada thankyou!
I’m really learning a lot from your tutorials.
Shinokada,
I read the entire topic of BEP on codeigniter’s site, and I can’t find the way to translate the interface of BEP. Is the only way to do this task to replace every array item in the backendpro_lang.php file?
And to translate the shopping cart?
Shinokada,
Ok, I found the way to translate BEP. Making a spanish folder in every languaje where a languaje folder is needed. But is this ok? I’ve seen other systems where lang files are all centralized in one place.
Thanks for taking time to share with us!
I think you are not just doing great job with this but also using the best way publish a professional tutorial.
There are couple of ways to do it. One way is you can load your language and module_language file and put all your translation there.
$this->load->module_language(‘webshop_folder’,'webshop’);
