E Commerce/Shopping Cart

[fish4carp]

Hi All

Would it be possible to integrate a shopping cart or e commerce to indexu or make a mod.

Which cart are you interested in? Or are you just looking for purchase links on the detail pages?

it should be easy enough, use something like cubecart, change the header and footer to use indexu footers and headers...

For simplicity you should make users of the shop signup again, (you could prefill information you have if they are logged into indexU) eccomerce would store address etc so it needs to be more secure, and use hashed passwords which indexU does not by default... i see no other reason why this cant easily be done.

For a good mod i would store the relationship between the 2 systems (user_id for the cart stores in idx_users) so on loging into indexU the user cana lso be logged into the shop.

Hi Guys

Either cube cart or similar don't need any thing to fancy just a reliable cart.

I'll look into it early this week

cubecart is good... and fairly cheap/ free.

Hi Guys

Will probably use Cubecart would it be easy to integrate into indexu?

Perhaps before I go running around looking for scripts, I should ask.

What do you mean by integration? Give me your definition of what you think "integration" means. Just the user database? Database and complete skin? Database and partial skin?
