CMS Made Simple Forums

Recently I came across this very nice webshop script at: http://www.freewebshop.org

This shop is multilingual, has several payment options and is written in clean, lean PHP.

I'm not a programmer myself but I can very well imaging that is should be quite easy to make this a shopmodule for CMSMS?!?!

Would somebody please take a look at it, try the demo and give any  reaction?

I would very much like to implement this kind of webshop with a.o. Ideal- and Paypalpayment (great for Dutch shop!), with the ability to use CMSMS template formatting

Could somebody please try to implement this?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

aroelink,

I didn't do any demo-ing or download/install thing. From what I read in the online manual, the application is not set up as CMSMS is. I don't see the word CSS mentioned anywhere. Pages are prepared using includes instead of layout type of template as CMSMS uses. Functional side seems to be quite ok if your shop doesn't have that many items. In my opinion it will be a difficult job to include the script in CMSMS as a module (while keeping in mind what CMSMS is about: devide layout from logic).
I think that if anyone is going to try to integrate this script CMSMS it will result in what I have seen with the module Esshop (it works, but there seems to be no assistance, it doesn't follow the 'standards' that are embedded in CMSMS).
Either wait for a solution in CMSMS or use the script separatly.

Hi Duketown,

Thanks for your quick respond!
You are right that this script isn't made following the CMSMS standards, allthough it uses a kind of template system with CSS!
But you are right that it uses simple includes to "fill" this template.

I just thought it would be an easy start to create a webshop-module for CMSMS.

I'll try to think of another way to use it...

Regards,

Andy
