Hi all, l am trying to finish building a rental shop site on ReadyMag through Ecwid’s Venture plan. Currently ReadyMag’s Buy button widget doesn’t integrate Ecwid’s Date Picker option, making it impossible to have a rental shop, at least not through Ecwid and Readymag’s buy button widget.
l had to integrate our shop to ReadyMag through the code widget, and now the website is almost ready and the only problem l have is that the website needs to be refreshed 2 times before showing the widget.
l obviously don’t want to use their “New-gen Instant Site” because we want our ReadyMag project to be our website at launch and other reasons l understand l don’t have to mention here, only that also l got to know about Ecwid just because of my ReadyMag subscription and l feel comfortable with ReadyMag. Honestly l would prefer a solution from ReadyMag’s part, or at least to understand if the Buy Button Date Picker is going to be updated anytime in the future thinking in users who have other type of shops, like a rental shop, just for me to understand how to proceed with the site or if l will need to get away from ReadyMag until this is solved which l really don’t want to and would be my last resort.
l think it might be an ajax problem and it might be resolved through some coding; maybe forcing the widget to automatically load since the first interaction with the site, and that would be awesome too, almost close to having the site up and running only need this problem out of the way and l can’t afford to lose another month with the site down because of this.
Readymag’s e-comm widget won’t help here. You’ll have to either:
Add all e-comm assets via code (whatever options Ecwid provide—I think they have a few embedding options that you should easily include via the Code widget).
The long road would be code your way in and try to alter Readymag’s e-comm widget (not sure how feasible this would be, though).
Hi @Samus , thank you for your response and yes this is not e-comm widget, it is already the “code” widget as the e-comm widget is super limited l had to take it out completely.
The problem comes only when entering any page link that has a store product linked to it through the home page, when l enter any product page directly they work just fine.
If l go to my front page and click a product thumbnail that takes me to the product page, l have to refresh the page twice or three times to see it.
You think that maybe this can be solved by adding something to the code widget that allows loading all ajax / javascript codes automatically as soon as someone enters the front page?
Hi Samus, l really hope so, it shouldn’t be that difficult to fix this bug and would be beneficial to both ReadyMag and Ecwid to solve it, but unfortunately they answered to us saying this is a problem only possible to be solved by @Readymag’s team:
Hi @Readymag, any idea on how long it normally takes the support team to get into small issues similar to this one? would really love to start running the store this January, just a little help from you guys could make my whole season! l think it might have something to do with the project not loading javax at the start because when you go straight to the pages with the store, the code loads without problems, just in case it can help support’s team somehow, thank you so much again for your time.
Hello Olga! Unfortunately, we cannot provide you a timeline or promise that the issue would be resolved soon. Did you send an email with details at support@readymag.com? If not, please do that, it’ll be easier for us to assist you over email.
hello… yes l did… no luck at all, just received a generic response saying that @Readymag doesn’t support Ecwid’s date picker option, basically sending me back again to the forum:
l already talked to a bunch of web developers and they all told me that the problem comes from Readymag not sending the fetch data correctly to ecwid, not a problem of the Date Picker or the Code itself, so basically the only party that could help me is Readymag, but refuse to do it, l have a business plan therefore l understand this should be addressed by @Readymag in a more serious matter:
All professional developers agreed this is a fetching problem, demonstrating that the problem is not in the form or in the code but caused by ReadyMag not sending the data back from Ecwid, causing the form to appear randomly on the website, and l feel there is no support in this bug by Readymag, the only ones with the ability to fix it.
Could you please give me a solution? would l need to move my project because of not getting simple support?
hi @HuV and thank you for your reply l really appreciate it. After following the three steps in all products the widget now seems to consistently appear on the website, the only problem is that now it encapsules all other coded widgets of the page into the frame and the main cart doesn’t refresh when adding products, instead it shows a new cart button inside of the frame:
@Olga_Kostyrko, our devs confirm there are several aspects of Ecwid’s catalog that won’t fully align with the state of our integration. The current version provides limited functionality.
We’re actively researching new ways to enhance the e-commerce options offered; although, no updates are expected to be delivered for this integration for now.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by these limitations.
. Perhaps other lads here might be able to shed some light.
