Project Description
Overview
This project is to create a component for Joomla v1.5 for Template Monster WebAPI. Develop the components, plugins, etc necessary for [login to view URL] templates to appear on my own website. That includes the scripts provided by [login to view URL] and any type of template manager component needed to manage the gallery and function of the templates, just like on template monster.
Every function is to appear the same as on [login to view URL], including live demo. They provide a WebAPI script to accomplish this at: [login to view URL]
Note that the live demo functions of [login to view URL] needs to be fully functional within our website, with no indication in the address browser of the original source of the templates, demos, etc. The whole purpose is to allow our customers to browse templates and choose, without knowing they are being sourced from templatemonster.com.
Here is a sample website where this API is used: [login to view URL]
Please provide examples of WebAPI implementation.
Component Installation Process
Everything should be packaged in a zip file so the component can be installed via the Joomla Administration panel.
Component Configuration
There are two configuration options:
1. After installation we should be prompted for a Template Monster Affiliate username. This username should be verified in a database on another server. Once the username has been verified the component will use this affiliate username when selling and displaying templates. If the username cannot be verified the user should be presented with a link where they can either sign up as an affiliate or for a fee get their affiliate username added to the verification database.
2. Template Monster states that there are two options to store their information. One is only template info is stored on our own server, keeping flash and live demos on [login to view URL] servers. The other option is to store everything on our own server such that the user cannot see another domain or the links are broken in case Template Monster severs are down or inaccessible. User should be able to select either.
1. Search box should be in a module that can be positioned in any area in Joomla. Search box should have the same fields as on [login to view URL]
2. Categories should be in Alphabetical order, in both search drop down just like [login to view URL] and in a module which also can be placed anywhere
3. When category is selected, there should be NEXT and LAST page buttons, next to the page numbers, just like [login to view URL] has on the top before the templates as well as on the bottom after the templates
4. Need to hide Author option in search module, and on template details page
5. On template details screen, need to have large LIVE DEMO button, like on templatemonster.com. But the live demo must hide any links back to templatemonster/templatehelp. On the demo there are three links in top right screen, then there is a whole info module with links out, also need to be able to hide author, price and downloads here are well.
6. Page Numbers should show horizontally, not vertically
7. Search module should start defaulted on ‘select category’, not beauty or anything else. The templates that show on main template page to be defaulted to show by ascending number and defaulted to show 16 records per page. (4*4)
8. Let that be default on every search query, or every time a category is selected to sort by ascending number and to show 16 records per page. (4*4)
9. Module showing the last added templates
