[Radiant] If you love radiant but need ecommerce what's the best solution

2008-11-26 Thread Steven Southard
Radiant is such a nice platform to develop on that it really pains me  
to choose another CMS for an upcoming website.  It's mainly a brochure  
site but they also sell about 50 products.  They currently have an  
outdated CMS and a yahoo shopping cart.  They want to move forward  
with an integrated approach.  I've been trying out Substruct which has  
both of these features.  The Cart is great but the CMS just fall short  
of what I've gotten accustom to.  Mainly, there's no control of the  
layout or CSS from the back-end.  It might be possible to fix that but  
I'm not sure how much work it would be.  I've also looked at Spree.   
It looks okay for a cart but doesn't seem to have any other CMS type  
functions.  Maybe it would work well side by side with Radiant or as  
sub domain but I don't see any way it could be integrated.


What are some other approach people have taken to give this type of  
client what they need?

  Hi!

I've found the shopping module Übercart for Drupal really good. Of  
course Drupal is PHP-based and all... but really flexible and has a  
lot of other modules, so very seldom I find myself coding PHP when  
using Drupal anyways. Generally speaking I use Drupal for more  
advanced sites, with lots of features, although pretty standard ones  
(so that you can find ready made modules for them)... while as Radiant  
CMS again is more appropriate for simpler sites when you want things  
working your way without much hassle and configuration.

  cheers, Simon
PS. There's also the Drupal E-commerce module, but I find Übercart  
more ready out of the box.. and its community seems more active too.
