how can i cart items for shopping cart application ...i am really new to web development and i want to create a shopping cart and want to cart items in it. how should i cart items.
I am wondering if there are any good articles you could point me to that would present the implementation details or options for delivering advanced search capabilities. Like what we see at [url] and similar Web sites offering vast numbers of products to be searched. The search process for these starts with a simple "Search" text box - usually with auto-suggest. Then the user can drill down and narrow the search by [for example] price, manufacture, size, capacity, and other relevant attributes of the product being searched.
When I navigate such sites and search for products, drilling down into the various categories, it's easy to think that there is some complex engine behind the scenes that generates dynamic SQL to satisfy the various and potentially extensive criterion required to satisfy the search requests.
Or could it be simpler than that? In any case, I understand this question may not have a specific answer; so I'm hoping for some article or reference implementation I could study. Short of that, if any of you have implemented advanced search of a product catalog (presumably searching products stored in a reasonably normalized database; through 3NF or so); any critical implementation considerations would be appreciated. I'm particularly interested in the meta data that may have to be present in the underlying data set in order to satisfy some of the search requests.
i m developing a product Catalog. All fine, i want to manage wish list for product, which user wish to see, now my question is that how can i manage this wish list, coz i have no uniqueness of the user, coz ny one whether it is registerd or not can wish the product in my scope, i thought to distinguish the user by their IP address becoz this wish list is temporaray, how can i delete the record when user close the browser if go to the IP address for distinguish..
I am building UI for a large product catalog (millions of products).
I am using Sql Server, FreeText search and ASP.NET MVC.
Tables are normalized and indexed. Most queries take less then a second to return.
The issue is this. Let's say user does the search by keyword. On search results page I need to display/query for:
Display 20 matching products on first page(paged, sorted) Total count of matching products for paging List of stores only of all matching products List of brands only of all matching products List of colors only of all matching products
Each query takes about .5 to 1 seconds. Altogether it is like 5 seconds.
I would like to get the whole page to load under 1 second. There are several approaches:
Optimize queries even more. I already spent a lot of time on this one, so not sure it can be pushed further.Load products first, then load the rest of the information using AJAX. More like a workaround. Will need to revise UI.Re-organize data to be more Report friendly. Already aggregated a lot of fields.
I checked out several similar sites. For ex. [URL]. Not only they display the same information as I would like in under 1 second, but they also include statistics (number of results in each category).
The following is the search for keyword "white" [URL] How do sites like zappos, amazon make their results, filters and stats appear almost instantly?
Is there any good code (paid or open source) out there for:Handling PPC ads on our site? This would (hopefully) include pages to create ads, reports of ads run, determining what ad to show, and tracking billing.Adding comments to our site? This would (hopefully) include up/down/inappropiate votes on other's comments.A product catalog? This would (hopefully) include advanced search and entering product items.
offer a good shopping cart tutorial?This looked like just the thing: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/build-a-shopping-cart-in-aspnet/There are postive and negative comments though.I'm a C# beginner so know how to put it mostly together, but I'm not experience enough to know anything about "singletons" and other performance issues that above code may have.
What is the most common or preferred control to build the shopping cart? By this, I mean the actual control that contains the product image, description, price & checkbox to select the item.
I'm looking for a free shopping cart source code to start creating customized chart.MSC Musicstore sample code is too simple. NOPCommerce requires adding link into it in every page.Where so find such source code ?
Say i have a Laptop for 600.00. Say i change it to $650.00. How do shopping carts handle that? Like do they store the price in the cart or the item? How do they make sure they get the price they wanted but not bill the customer the new change without asking them? Or do most store them in both?
I was thinking maybe i could store it in both.So if the current price is over the cart price for a item, don't remove it/bill them from their cart. Then after, tell them what was billed/email a receipt for the items that didn't change that was billed(say they had more then one item) and remove it from the cart. For the items that did change, say something like "Items left in cart due to price change, check if you still want to buy the items at the new price." So leave the items that changed in the cart but update the price in the cart.
I don't think the language should matter. Guess this is more of a logical type question. Do most shopping carts do it this way or is there a better way?
I am working on building a new shopping cart applicaiton. When i checked many shopping card applications, i found that the cateogry pages and product pages seems to be dynamically created. eg: http://shopping.sify.com/cadbury-bournville-almond/chocolates/CHOC24112009TTL14.htm
How this is being done? Is this page is created while adding product itself?
I am looking for a drag & drop shopping cart, which I can use with asp.net & can save the details in sql server 2005 database. I don't bother if it from ajax, javascript or jquery.Actually I have a grid, in which I am having picture, product name & price (say), so either I could be able to drag the row to the cart to add or increase the product quantity. or on click on the add to cart button, it will flow to the shopping cart.
I am working on a Railway Portal and would require maintaining a shopping cart of components user has selected, there could be multiple components of different type in the cart. I don't see a value in storing the cart in database, would like to store the final order in DB. Where can I store/hold (temporary) the cart data per user session in MVC? All MVC samples I saw online save the cart data in DB - not sure why.
MVC presentation layer will be communicating with external web services for pricing and availability of these components, so I can't store only the product IDs to do a lookup for actual product descriptions/prices during the shopping process... I have to store everything in the cart (Product IDs, Descriptions, Prices etc) some place in memory. My application will be running in WEB FARM environment and cannot use in-process session storage.
Options come to my mind are:
SESSION STATE in SQL SERVER Using some kind of Distributed Caching Mechanism to store Session data such as "Windows Server AppFabric"
How to create search box for shopping cart: textbox with search button. Clicking in search button or pressing enter should call search method in controller.
Where to find sample style and code for this for MVC application ?
