message for Gordon and the EC DEV Team
I've been playing around with the recent dev versions of the new ecommerce suite of modules and I'm amazed by how tight and also how expansive the new ecommerce framework is.
I'm just getting my head around how it all works together - I'm aware the checkout has some work to do, but, I'm impressed with what I've seen so far - - in particular the inclusion of the advanced Views.module and Rules.module integration which blows wide open the scope and capabilities of ecommerce with Drupal..
The new framework design makes it feel more like a Drupal eCommerce API than a regular module download.
Is that correct? i.e. am I right to refer to it as an eCommerce API for Drupal...in a similar way the Forms API has evolved?
And if that's the case, how do you see it moving forward...do you envisage eCommerce profiles...like distribution profiles for Drupal?
For example, as I see it, now that the eCommerce suite has been tightened up so much, it makes it practical now to submit music download shop profiles or apparel shop profiles that sit on top of the new Drupal eCommerce API?
Appreciate you're all obviously very busy with the new dev versions, but, any thoughts?
cheers
