TreasureChest 1.3
A new distribution of the TreasureChest cart system for the MODx Content Management Framework

Available translations : [ FR ] [ DE ]

TreasureChest is an open source cart module for the MODx content management framework. The cart was originally written by Scotty Delicious, up to the 1.0 version, but the development then stopped. In late 2009, we started enhancing the software. We successively released TreasureChest 1.1 in March 2010, version 1.2 in May 2010 and version 1.3 in August 2010.


TreasureChest 1.1 brings the following new features :

  • New cart placeholders : currency code, subtotals for the whole cart, by product type or even by specimen. New aliases to TreasureChest 1.0 placeholders, bringing better clarity and reducing risk of errors.
  • Template-based default service : placeholders now available from the template specified by &item_template. (Useful when creating catalog pages with Ditto.)
  • Possibility to insert a cart layout in product or catalog pages.
  • Fully template-based pdt service with subtemplating and many new placeholders to build detailed vouchers.
  • Ciphered PayPal form masking merchant email address from source code.
  • Alternative texts for "Add to cart" buttons, based on the cart template used.
  • Internationalization improved: better currency integration, more currencies, new language files.

New placeholders

New placeholders specific to TreasureChest 1.1 let you display detailed costs in cart views and build detailed vouchers.

Anti-spam protection

TreasureChest 1.1 ciphers the whole checkout form, making your merchant email address invisible from HTML source.

Embedded carts

Cart views can now be directly inserted into product or cata­log pages and are automatically refreshed by Ajax when necessary.
Changes are propagated between cart views.

Template-driven

Product and catalog pages placeholders now available from template specified by &item_template. Building catalog pages with Ditto is easier.

The pdt service now let you build detailed vouchers, thanks to an easy-to-use hierarchy of templates and many new placeholders.

Placeholders sorted by service.

Default service placeholders
For product and catalog pages

Placeholders for TreasureChest's default service are the same for the 1.1 version as for the 1.0, at the exception that a new [+config.currency+] placeholder was added to permit retrieving the currency from the module configuration.

The new version also brings the possibility to use placeholders in a template specified by &item_template. This can be very useful when you want to build a catalog page displaying several products.

For this reason we prefer telling about "Default service placeholders" rather than "Product page placeholders", which is too restrictive. However, it's true that in most cases, the snippet call itself will be done from the product page since it facilitates the work of specifying the item.

Example invocation of the TreasureChest snippet for a catalog page built with Ditto :

[[TreasureChest? &item=`[*id*]` &selector=`item_number` 
&item_template=`treasure_chest\templates\product_summary.tpl` ]]

List of placeholders

For the default service, all other placeholders than [+config.currency+] are identical to those of the 1.0 version, we renounce drawing the list here again.
You can find it on the official TreasureChest cart website.

TreasureChest 1.1, brought the possibility to layout the voucher, without having to edit the software source code.

The &cart_wrap_template and &cart_item_template parameters that you could already use to specify the templates of the `cart` service are now available to create a detailed voucher using templates and placeholders.
