Has anyone ever thought of integrating Cafe Press into Threads somehow? This would be a great way to try and offset costs for running a website.

I played with cafe press a bit. Have been meaning to create a store. <br /><br />Hey Allen... maybe we need a threadsdev gear store. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Josh<br />You can test Cafe Press by clicking the link below and buying lots of stuff. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> http://www.cafeshops.com/coloradok5

Now yer thinkin! And if you make a threadsdev gear store, then of course you'd want to write a mod to integrate it into Threads. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

LOL @ coloradok5

LOL<br />Yeah, it's pretty cool.<br /><br />Since it runs on their server, I don't know how much integration you could do, except for putting it into a threads framed page, so that your header was at the top.

You mean you can't write a script that updates itself when you make changes to your CafePress store, and then submits and handles orders when a user does so? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bigshock.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Hehe. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />But yeah, I guess you're right. It's not very integratable. (sp?)

Yeah I have a cafe press shop open as well but do not or have not integrated it. About the only thing you could do is what Josh stated open up the frame inside a page that uses your header and footer.

Very cool. We need to customize some stuff to say ThreadsDev though. I'd buy something. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And they'd potentially make good Prizes... ThreadsDev wear. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

the quality is much better than I expected <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My first experience with them was a total disaster. Two months after payment and 5 emails later and still my goods hadn't arrive (an order well over 200.00 USD).<br /><br />Finally I got a reply that the goods were shipped only to hear a month later that they came here in the UK but were returned back undeliverable <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I will give it another try if there is a TDev store.

Here's mine... I buy alot from them - just got my big order off my viperalley site last week! <br /> <br />http://www.cafeshops.com/viperalley <br />http://www.cafeshops.com/xtrmbikini <br />http://www.cafeshops.com/xtrmbikini2 <br />http://www.cafeshops.com/xtrmbikini3 <br /> <br />So, when you say "integrate" what do you mean? I have a SHOP button in my header - but thats about it.

We tried, but our members don't want to wear measurction.com wear. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

well I took a minute after seeing this thread to integrate it. I have always had a cafe express shop but always just put a link to the shop thats it. Now I put it in its own page.<br /><br />http://www.reeftalk.com/shop.php

Very nice. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Simple, yet effective. Good work! Care to share?

Sure no problem not like its anything hard. Easy and simple <br /> <br />Fill in the shop name and path to main.inc.php and rename to a PHP extention.

Thanks O, looks good <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
