Hows this site made: SATandCABLE.com - (I know it's with drupal)

The question may seem a bit 'large' or overwelming, so let me explain exactly what I would like to know; Basically, on the website SATandCABLE does anyone have any idea how the shopping cart works...

I admire the way that when you add something to the masket or click the image in the 'footer' that never moves it pops up with the stuff in your basket and your account details; and I would like something similar (if not the same) for my new website, but I have no idea how to do it seen as I'm not a web coder !

I know some of details from the developers website DavidSlack.co.uk like it's made using Drupal and Ubercart ( and from different forums ) but Dave's contact form wasn't working properly when I tried it, so thats I'm asking you guys if you could figure out how he did it?

I'm hoping it's with modules because I haven't properly learned php or anything, so if it's not could you give me as much code as possible please?

Thanks in Advance

Andy

I'm the developer for SATandCABLE and it seems you found my site (davidslack.co.uk).

I'll be looking at my contact form tonight which seems fine in in Google Chrome, Firefox, IE9, but not IE8, 7, or 6. I'll sort that tonight. I'm still 'playing' with my site so its up and down. Sorry.

If you contact me tomorrow (or leave a comment) I'll get back to you and see what help I can offer.

The SATandCABLE basket is a simple idea, it's just a div that has a theme region so I can drop blocks in. When the customer clicks the basket or the button at the bottom right a hide/show javascript function is called which hide/shows the basket ID. The whole thing was designed in Fireworks and then the theme created with php and css and that's it.

Hi Wiifm, Unfortunately, I can't use some of the cashing on the site as it messes with the ajax on the basket, but I'll look into the boost module. It would be nice to speed things up :)

Dave.

Yes the shopping cart on that site is implemented fairly awesomely.

From looking at the code on the site, it looks like these will form the backbone of the site, and should have 90% of the site's functionality

The module author for the ajax cart block has an example site with a simple implementation

Probably the most work that would be needed to create a clone site would be the theming, as that custom theme looks like it would have taken some time to complete

The site looks like it could use some additional performance related modules though as it is painfully slow, for instance:

Hope this helps you get started
