Hotcakes Commerce: AdjustReservedInventoryModule

This project is NOT MEANT FOR PRODUCTION. You should only use this as a reference or proof of concept to show how a product may be added to a shopping cart in Hotcakes Commerce programmatically.

About Hotcakes Commerce

Hotcakes Commerce is an e-commerce solution that empowers developers and designers alike to be able to actually fulfill client requirements when building an online store. We believe that e-commerce should be easier, for EVERYONE on your team.

Getting Started: End-Users

Prerequisite: You must already have a CMS ready to use this with, and a superuser account on the site.

  1. Download the latest release and save it somewhere on your computer.
  2. Login using your superuser account.
  3. Use the control panel to navigate to Host > Extensions.
  4. Click the "Install Extension" button, and a popup installation wizard will appear.
  5. Follow the steps in the installation wizard.
  6. After installation, add the module to a page and use it (preferrably a security-protected page).

Getting Started: Developers

  1. You should create a website folder where your project will be. This can be anywhere on your system. For example C:\Websites\MyProjectName\
  2. Clone the repository into that folder
  3. Create a new folder in the root: Website (Example: C:\Websites\MyProjectName\Website\ )
  4. Update IIS and your local HOSTS file to point to http://AdjustReservedInventoryModule.loc
  5. Restore the database from the Assets folder over your database.
  6. The Host/Superuser login is "host" and "password". Login.
  7. Install Hotcakes Commerce.
  8. Run the Hotcakes Commerce "Getting Started" wizard.
  9. Add sample products, or add some of your own.
  10. Build this project in Debug mode.
  11. "Install" the AddToCart module using the Create New Module > Create from Manifest.
  12. If it's not on a page already, add this module to a new or existing page.
  13. Play with the module.

How to Build

While there continues to be only a single module here, you can safely build from the Solution or Project level.

When you first begin using this project, you should first build using DEBUG mode, discussed below.

What happens when I build?

Building in DEBUG mode will compile the project/solution as you'd expect, but an MS Build script will also move the module files into the appropriate Website\DesktopModules\ folder as well.

Building in RELEASE mode will not move the project files, but it will package the module in an Install and Source package that can be used to install on another Hotcakes site for testing or deployment.

~\Website\Install\Module\

This is VERY important to know. This module has a Module.Build file that properly maps it's files that need to be moved into the Website folder.

Debugging

Debugging should be done using the "Attach to Process" method found in Visual Studio.

Solution Architecture

You'll find a website and database backup in the Assets folder. This should be used as your starting point, as defined in the Getting Started section above.

Configuration Files Solution Folder

This solution folder contains the common configuration files for the entire solution, such as the web.config.

Modules Solution Folder

This contains the various module projects that will be placed onto pages.

Website Project

The website project is only used for reference. Any core code changes to the CMS itself are forbidden.
