CS-cart brand / manufacturer add-on

Hi all,

Some of you might know I have been into making webshops for about 1,5 year now. After testing about 30 programs, of which 25 I could toss away after 10 minutes, I choose CS-cart as my preferred platform. I’m glad I did…  I still love it and it keeps getting better, the forum is fantastic, and so is cs-carts support. 

One thing that could use some improvement though is how it handles brands aka manufacturers.

At the moment your product names probably look like: BRAND NAME - Product description. Sometimes this looks ugly because the product names can become quite long, and some products are 2 lines and some are not, which messes up the grid layout.

For some shops, like mine, brands are important. So I had the guys from alt-team (they are great) create an add-on that imo adds some cool stuff to cs-cart.

It adds the following:

list / category view has variants:

variant 1:

brand name (pulled from manufacturer feature)

product name

variant 2:

product name (like the original cs-cart view)

Second thing it does is make the product page look like:

Product name

brand: brand name (under product name, called from manufacturer feature. Links to manufacturer / brand page where customers can read more info about the brand)

I guess pictures say more then words:

cs-cart manufacturer /brand add-on

cs-cart brand add-on product page

I’m personally very happy with the add-on, as I always found the way cs-cart handles brands was a bit too much put away. 

You can download the add-on here for free. A donation would be very much appreciated though. See my paypal link on the left. I promise I won’t spend it on booze.

P.S. cs-cart now also has a multivendor edition, which means you can have multiple vendors selling on your website. A bit like amazon, that’s right!

Gotta love this…

Sperm count and mobile phones

Tim Ferris doesn’t carry a cellphone is his pocket for 11 weeks.

The results of the 11 week “no-cell-phone-in-the-pocket” test:

The numbers are shocking…

  • Ejaculate volume:  44% increase
  • Motile sperm per milliliter:  100% increase
  • Motile sperm per ejaculate:  185% increase

Also, just now I read that using a mobile phone ups your local brainactivity by 7%.

A small study from the National Institutes of Health finds radiofrequency signals from a cell phone speed up the way brain cells metabolize glucose, which is a cell’s energy source. Neurologists say what’s unclear is just how much stress the brain cells might tolerate.

The area of the brain closest to the phone’s antenna is effected. 

This study is from researchers at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland and is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Berlin is a blast. It reminds me of New York in the 1980s and ‘90s, but has, of course, its own distinctive flavor. I think Berlin is the most vibrant city in Europe. London’s a rip off. Paris is arrogant… Berlin is like a big, creative bomb that’s ready to detonate

As soon as she had replaced the vibrator in her underwear drawer, the panties ceased their girlish gossiping and began to chirp, ‘Who? Who? Who?’ Whose name had she called aloud when she straddled the white pony of orgasm?

Goodmorning! How about some bodypumping … :)

Gays!

After the nice interview with Erwin Olaf yesterday I want to say something to all the gays in Amsterdam:

Please…

Continue holding hands

Continue kissings each other in public

Continue showing your affection

If you stop that, “the others” will win.

And it’s not just you gays that should unite. It’s also us progressive hetero-sexuals!
