  3. Quick start

Quick start ​

miniShop2 comes with all needed snippets and chunks. You need MODX 2.3 or higher and PHP 7.0 or higher.

Installation ​

  • Add our repository
  • Install pdoTools — library for fast DB and output work; required by many components
  • Install Theme.Bootstrap — Twitter Bootstrap theme for MODX; default store chunks are built for it
  • Install miniShop2

For testing you can use our hosting; these extras can be selected when creating a site.

Templates ​

Theme.Bootstrap installs 2 templates that you can change as you like. You can rename and use them or create new ones.

You need 3 templates in total.

General ​

Template for regular resource content:

modx
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    [[$Head]]
  </head>
  <body>
    [[$Navbar]]
    <div class="container">
      <div id="content" class="main">
        [[*content]]
      </div>
      [[$Footer]]
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Use it for the home page and cart.

Category ​

Template for category with paginated products:

modx
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    [[$Head]]
  </head>
  <body>
    [[$Navbar]]
    <div class="container">
      <div id="content" class="category">
        [[!pdoPage?
          &element=`msProducts`
        ]]
        [[!+page.nav]]
      </div>
      [[$Footer]]
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Product ​

Product template; content is replaced by an ms2 chunk:

modx
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    [[$Head]]
  </head>
  <body>
    [[$Navbar]]
    <div class="container">
      <div id="content" class="product">
        [[$msProduct.content]]
      </div>
      [[$Footer]]
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Set templates in system settings:

  • default_template — general template
  • ms2_template_category_default — category template
  • ms2_template_product_default — product template

Sections ​

Assign the "General" template to the home page and put in content:

modx
[[!pdoMenu]]

This shows all site documents on the home page.

Then create a product category and set its template to "Category".

After the category, add products and set their template too.

Then create the cart page: new page with "General" template in site root and content:

modx
[[!msCart]]

[[!msOrder]]

[[!msGetOrder]]

These snippets output the cart, checkout form, and order view (after checkout).

They only show when needed: msCart and msOrder hide when the URL has msorder=order_id; msGetOrder only runs in that case.

Mini cart ​

Initial store setup is done; you can already order products.

As a final step, edit chunk Navbar and add the mini cart, e.g.:

modx
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
  <!-- Menu output (default) -->
  <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
    [[pdoMenu?
      &startId=`0`
      &level=`1`
      &tplOuter=`@INLINE {$wrapper}`
    ]]
  </ul>
  <!-- Mini cart -->
  <ul class="nav navbar-nav pull-right" style="padding-top: 10px;">
    <li>[[!msMiniCart]]</li>
  </ul>
</div>
