Hi,

About status and next steps, we got some projects on the way so I haven't committed any changes yet.

- About to commit (June/July):
        . Move to 4.x
        . Make it use new mail module as it changed for 4.x
        . Restructure configuration moving it into this module
. avoid data module to throw any tree not found errors as the tree handling is in a new menu point
        . some cleaning up in jsp templates

- To be done (dont know when or by whom):
. remove dependencies to utils and crud module (either by making them open source or replacing by other modules or at least get a version not a snapshot).
        . replace jsp by STK templates (low priority as it works as it is)

- Add it into our svn (planned sometime before september)

Cheers,
Teresa

Hi Will

Thanks a lot for the update.

The second dependency sounds more challenging. I would need to understand a little more about purposes and what you want to achieve. The content2bean functionality was developed due to a lack of alternatives (e.g. OCM). I don't think we should invest too much time into "structuring" extensions to content2bean just to get the shopping cart module to work. But I would have to look into the extensions. Interesting how much effort we put into complying to a framework rather than to the solution...

If you could list the module functionality to the dev list that would be awesome. It would help me better understand what is available and what needs to be done.

Hi Giancarlo

Actually Teresa of Magnolia has been the last to be working on it. She was supposed to check her work back into the svn server but I have not heard from her for a while. Let me ping her and I will post the status of the cart afterwards.

As far as assistance: Yes, there are a few things that still need to be accomplished before we can release the cart as public CE module. At this time the cart module still has two dependencies that we need to get rid of... or we need to opensource the target modules themselves. As for one of the dependencies, it is only needed for two custom control types which I can easily integrate into the cart module.

I'm a bit more worried about the second dependency. It is pretty much an extension to the content2bean functionality in Magnolia. We use it to convert nodes to beans and back with customizable behavior (e.g. when there is no node associated with bean x, because bean x is new, then the controller knows where to create the node for the bean and how to name it when saving it). This stuff is very handy but also quite "unstructured". So I'm not real sure how to proceed in this case. Phillip (Magnolia) also suggested to have a look at Jackrabbits OCM [1] for at least some of the features. I guess my best bet would be to list the functionality of this module in a post to the dev list and have people give me their thoughts on it.

Hi Maurizio

Actually I have been quite busy working on it in the last couple of days - mostly on the admin interface. I'm planning to have a new prototype ready in a few days. I would me more than happy to have other developers like you join in.

Hi,

We are looking for a shopping cart integrated in Magnolia, if nobody as this module maybe we could implement it. Also for us the best solution is to have the administration integrate in Magnolia like dms, data,...

Will, do you have news about your shopping cart module?

Someone has already integrated Konakart or Magento or other shopping cart in Magnolia?

Best regards
Maurizio

Hi Paul
We cleaned up our shopping cart code a bit and sent it to one developer who said that he was interested in working on it... and have never heard of him since then. However we are still interested in having a Magnolia Shop Module. Our main objective is to have one administration environment (Magnolia) for CMS, DMS, Data, Shop and so on. As mentioned in the old threads you found, we do actually have a few shops running on our shop module but it still needs quite a bit of work for it to be useful for the regular Magnolia developer. Again, anybody interested in co-working on it should drop me a line. On the other hand, Ruben once mentioned that they integrated KonaKart in Magnolia if I recall correctly. This of course would also be a very nice solution depending on the level of integration.

Hi,
Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anything come of these proposals regarding a shopping cart? We are looking at Magnolia to see if it would be a good web CMS for us, but we need shopping cart functionality and would
prefer not to build it from scratch.
Recent news indicates that dotCMS is going to be integrated with KonaKart* and I was wondering if the same thing was happening with Magnolia, or whether a native Magnolia module had already been developed elsewhere.

Cheers,
Paul Fitchett
