Hello,
I will need a clone of the following site: http://www.bizrate.com
NOTE: The script you make will not have everything as the site
above, just the things listed below.
I need someone to set up the Commission Junction, LinkShare and Amazon.com API’s for my site locate at: http://www.theshoppingvillage.com
You will need to set up the proper API for Commission Junction, Linkshare and Amazon.com. You will probably need
to set up a cronjob so the the feeds are updated daily.
NOTE: I’m an affiliate of Commission Junction, Link Share and Amazon.com,so the shopping site will be populated with products
using their API’s. I will give you access to my Commission
Junction, Link Share and Amazon.com accounts to get the API’s and
documentation when you are ready for them.. Below are the
details of the project:
1) Set the global header and footer. Please use the header.php and footer.php files. The header and footer should appear on all pages including the aboutus.php and the privacy.php pages.
NOTE: The search box should appear at the top of each page.
When a visitor types in a keyword and clicks search, he
should be taken to a product listing page showing products
relating to that keyword. The API’s from Commission
Junction, Link Share and Amazon.com will help you with this.
The search box background should be the same background as
the header background. Also, the search box should Not have
any borders. It should blend into the header. The search box
should be exactly like the one currently on my site. Except
the background of the search box input field should be gray
and the search button should be yellow with the word
“Search” in black lettering.
2) On the main page you will see the following tables:
– Hot Product
– Sales & Discount
– Free Shipping
Commission Junction allows you to get products based on the
above 3 categories through their API. Each table should
rotate 3 products. When the script selects these products,
it should select those products with the highest product
rating. Please have the products rotate each time the page
is loaded.
Below is how it should be set up and how everything should
work:
============
CATEGORIES
============
– I should be able to enter Categories and subcategories from the admin panel. Please set the categories like it is set up
on the following page:
http://www.softbizscripts.com/pay-per-click-script-features.php
To see an example go to: http://www.softbizscripts.com/pay-per-click-script-features.php
scroll down to the bottom and click on “Demo Admin Panel”
log in and click on “Categories” You will see the Main
categories. To add subcategories, simply click on a Main
Category. And to add a subcategory to a subcategory, just
click on a subcategory.
Once you have done this and I have added the Main category
“Appliances” and it subcategories, I should be able to go
to the index.php page, click on the “Appliances” link in
the left hand menu and I should see the subcategories for
“Appliances”. I should see the following four subcategory
titles: Appliance Accessories, Home Appliances, Kitchen
Appliances and Seasonal. The font size should be 2, bold and
underlined. All subcategory titles should be this way.
Now just below each subcategory title, I should see the
subcategories for these titles. These subcategories font
size should be 2 and there should only be one subcategory
per line in a bullet format. Also, for the category listings, put them in a table like the one found on the index page entitled “Hot
Selling Products”.
Underneath the subcategory title Appliance Accessories, when
I click on the subcategory “air conditioner accessories”
for example I should be taken to the product listing page.
The API’s should populate this page with products matching
the keyword “air conditioner accessories”.
NOTE: I should also be able click on the subcategory title
“Appliance Accessories” and I should see all of the
subcategories for this title. When I click on one of those
subcategories, I should be taken the Product Listing page as
well.
Go to: http://www.softbizscripts.com/pay-per-click-script-features.php
scroll down to the bottom and click on “Demo Front End” to see how
the categories should look on the front end.
NOTE: When a visitor is browsing the site, they should be
able to look at the top of the page and see what category
they are in. For example, let’s say a visitor clicks on the
“Appliances” link then clicks on the subcategory title
“Appliance Accessories” and then clicks on the subcategory
“Coffee Maker Accessories”. At the top of that page the
visitor should see the following: Home > Appliances >
Appliance Accessories > Coffee Maker Accessories
These link should be hyperlinked so the visitor can go back
to any of those pages. To see an example of what I’m
talking about go to: http://www.bizrate.com click on the
“Computers & Software” category in the left hand menu,
scroll down to “Browse Department” and under the category
title “Accessories” click on the subcategory
“Batteries”. At the top of that page should be the
following hyperlinks: Home > Computers & Software >
Accessories > Batteries
NOTE: When I click on the “See All Categories” link at the top
of the page, I should be taken to a page that shows all the main
categories with their subcategories underneath them. To see an
example of what I mean, please visit the site below:
http://www.softbizscripts.com/scripts/ppc
This is how the Product Listing page should be set up. To
see an example, go to: http://www.bizrate.com/appliances
scroll down to the “Browse Departments” table and click on
the “Air Conditioner Accessories” link. You are now on the
Product Listing page. This is how the Product Listing page
should look like.
The “Refine Your Results” sections should be to the left
of the product listings except for the product listing price
comparison page mentioned below. You will need to check each
category to see what needs to go in the “Refine Your
Results” sections as some sections are different. You can
disregard the banner above the “Refine Your Results”
sections.
Also, don’t forget to add the “Sort By” box at the top of
all product listing pages. You can disregard the “View As”
and “Add Tax & Shipping” boxes.
NOTE: If a product on the product listing page is sold by
more than one store, then the following link should be
displayed underneath the product description: “Compare
prices from other stores”. Please scroll down the page and
you will see one of these links. There is just about one on
every product listing page. When a shopper clicks on this
link, he should be taken to a product listing comparison
page that shows all the stores that sell that EXACT item.
NOTE: On the product listing COMPARISON page, the selections
in the “Sort By” box should be:
– Relevance
– Store
– Store Rating
– Price
Also on this page you will need to add “Show only”: a
checkbox to the left of “free shipping” and “coupons”.
Disregard the “add tax & shipping for zip code” box. You
will also need to add the “Update” button. See the
bizrate.com product listing comparison page to see what I’m
talking about.
Also, on the product listing page and product listing
comparison page, to the right of the product description,
there should be the store logo. The logos should be 110 x
28. If the logo is not available, then the name of the store
should be displayed instead. NOTE: On the product listing
Comparison page that shows the price comparisons for the
stores that sell the same exact item, you do not have to put
the “Refine Your Results” section on this page.
For the Product listing page, please use a table like the
one found on the index.html page entitled: “Hot Selling
Products”
I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Mike
