[Zope-Annce] [ANN] PlonePayPal

[Marc Lindahl]

While I was waiting for a *real* Zope commerce solution I cooked up 
this simple PayPal shopping cart store:

REQUIRES:

     * ImageTag_CorePatch (available here).
     * Archetypes 1.2.3_final
     * PIL (for ImageTag_CorePatch)

NOTE: THIS IS A FINANCIAL PRODUCT. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO 
REPRESENTATION OF SUITABILITY IS MADE.

Simple store product, to implement a PayPal shopping cart store within 
plone. You need to read PayPal's shopping cart instructions (a copy is 
included in docs/shopping_cart.pdf). READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE DOING 
ANYTHING.

Basically you create a PayPal Store and the parameter of interest there 
is the view cart button code. You'll need to add that later by pasting 
in the view cart code that PayPal gives you.

Then you create a PayPal Item for each item. You get a picture and a 
description, and the paypal button code is pasted in. Basically you 
should have a browser window open to paypal.com where you create the 
item, with all of it's information. Then you get the code for the add 
to cart button and you paste that into your plone object.

You can also use the single item code, same difference. If the store 
doesn't have any view cart button code it won't show the button.

Also you don't have to have a store to use the Item. But it has a nice 
view of your whole store (catalog). If you want to make it so people 
can't add Items outside of the store, you need to uncheck implicitly 
addable in the portal_types tool PayPal Item.

SECURITY SETTINGS:

To add items you need to enable: Add portal content AND PayPal: Add 
PayPal Item
