Inifnite loop node/add/product
Hi, i just want to know if anybody experienced an inifinte loop when adding a product into a database. When I try to add a product the page stops loading and stays blank. With no error. I have checked the code and I discoverd that when _product_form is called than at the end of the function in this line
line:284 $form['product'] = array_merge($form['product'], (array) product_invoke_productapi($node, 'form'));
e-Commerce v4 Alpha5 released.
I have just dropped a new version of e-Commerce, which had a lot of problems in certain situations, but now I think is working right and should do what it is meant to.
We have a lot more payment gateways theKeyper for porting Eway, and brmassa for porting the COD module, and lastly I got the emails working again.
The big thing about the emails is that now this is handled by the store and not the payment gateway. This means that we have will a lot more consistent delivery of the completed email messages.

shipping charges based on total cost of items
In Drupal 4.7 or 4.6 it was possible to set the shipping charges based on the total cost of items.
This would be very similar to what PayPal offers.
I cannot find anything like that in Drupal 5, using eCommerce 5.x-3.3. The user documentation downloaded with the module (docs/user/index.html) still mentions this options, but it is obviously outdated (screenshots are from Drupal 4.7 or earlier).
Calculating shipping using one of the major carriers is an overkill in my case (and I assume in most cases). A simple, basic, shipping calculation method would be very useful.

e-Commerce site, poll and the new logo
Guys,
We are launching the Alpha versions of e-Commerce, but we should continually seek improvements on eC.
So, we are gradually increasing the content on our new site and i created a poll to give us a direction. You can choose what should be the focus of eC dev team. Among the options, "visual improvement", "bug-free first", "business " and "site admin driven pages", "user" and "developer documentation" and "general improvements". Help the eC development!
Read moree-Commerce Alpha 4 released
We have been working hard and have fixed many more bugs.
We have ported the Authorize.net to use the new ec_receipt API. I was actually quite impressed how easy it is now to create a gateway, esp where it is a gateway like Authorize.net where the input form in on your site. This is now an inline gateway and people will just load the credit card details directly into the review page, and the order will not be submitted until the payment has been accepted. This should get rid of a lot of these pending transactions that never go anywhere.

Can PayPal & "recurring submissions" be easily automated to allow instant log-in?
Or does it take a lot of coding?
I have a few questions regarding PayPal and allowing a customer to instantly log-in to my web site after having paid for a recurring subscription. You can check it out at Is this PayPal process automated to allow instant log-in? By this, I'm meaning specifically allowing my customers to log in to my Drupal Organic Groups driven web site immediately after they've paid via PayPal.

Over the next couple of week I am going to be starting to release some screen casts for e-Commerce. These will be based on v4 and above. First I am going to be doing a small screen cast on how to install e-Commerce, and then beyond that I will see.
If anyone has any suggestions, please add them below.

Read moreHOWTO: Roll your own Gateway Payment Module
I haven't a clue how to "Roll my own" payment module.
This is a wiki to start my path towards creating one.
Hopefully someone will have more information and chime in to help. :-)
Then the next bloke who comes this way will have something better to start with.
Now let's begin.
The best advice I've found so far is to use a currently existing payment gateway and transform it.
This is great and all.. just hope it works for a Non-XML interface (the one i have to work with).
I'm going to tear apart this module:
\modules\ecommerce\contrib\authorize_net
But I also found this module:
Possible to have a multi-priced item?
Hello,
I'm building a shopping cart for a non-profit organization. They want people to be able to sign-up for Conferences through their site.
A single conference will have a 3-level pricing structure:
1) Early Bird Price (reduced price before a certain date)
2) Members Price
3) Non-Members Price
Is the e-Commerce module capable of something like this? If so, how would I set this up?
Thank you.
Brady
Read moreAnonymous purchasing
Hi,
Recently I've posted (http://drupal.org/node/172845) a suggestion for changing the anonymous purchasing scheme. In the suggestion, an account is created behind the scenes for anonymous buyer, which lines up with non-shippable items, such as files, as the user gets an access to the "myfiles" directory. This scheme however, can be used for any type of product.

Can eCommerce power an Auctions site?
Hello
A potential client recently approached me to ask for a quote on a site he wanted built. In short, the site is to be similar to http://ridesafely.com.
Ideally, I would prefer to base the site on Drupal. However, my quote will depend heavily on whether eCommerce has the capability and maturity to run auctions like would be needed here.
I have heard that auctions are a feature in the 4.x release. Is this true? And would the module be able to handle the type of auctions required here?
I appreciate any thoughts & comments!

Read moreAffiliates System
Also I forgot to add that I have started adding the affiliates/commission system so that people can start paying referring parties for sales. And the way that it has been created the method of building the commissions to be a pluggable hook system so you can build anyway you want to give credit to people.
There is no payment system yet, but this will come soon, and can be implemented into any payment gateway. To start with it will be PayPal, but others can be done, and even systems like printing cheques can be supported.

Read moree-Commerce site and IRC channel
Some people dont know but e-Commerce module now have its own site. It was only used to host the module API documentation but now its going to have tutorials, news, and some other things. The address is http://drupalecommerce.org. Currently, we will publish all news here on groups and there. If it works, we might adopt it as the main eC resource of information. Note: if you are a good web designer and want to give to eC a good looking site theme (Garland is nice, but it is Garland), you are welcome!
Also, you can contact the dev team directly almost at any time of the day on IRC. Go to channel #drupal-ecommerce on freenode.org. Its a real-time information. We will help you as much as we can. I, Massa, am almost all days and Gordon is almost all "nights" (once he is in Australia!). There are also many other people that can give some help there.
Read moree-Commerce emails
With the new version of e-Commerce we now have a lot more control over when events will happen.
No longer do we have just "on payment completion" as a time when something can happen, and also the creation of emails is no longer handled by the payment gateways.
Read moree-Commerce 5.x-4.0-alpha1
We have been extremely busy here developing the new version of e-Commerce. There has been a lot of interest in the up coming v4 so I have decided to start releasing alpha's so that people can start playing with the new features and help us achieve our goals and get out another great release.
Read moreNot new to Drupal, art, or music, just this group
Hi all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been an amateur musician for about 20 years and a professional programmer for about 10. I've been using Drupal for a year or so and have built a bunch of sites with it.
Now I'm building a site for my new band (I haven't been in a band since high school), and I've decided to do it with Drupal's multisite feature under a fresh install of a fresh domain. I'll be starting with some (or all) of the suggestions from http://groups.drupal.org/node/5167 and I'll try to report my findings here.
Read moremodules for product catalog (without on line purchase)
Hi,
Our interest is to make a site (with Drupal, we have otherwise done this with custome programming) for product catalog, where products are grouped in a hierarchy (1-2 level only). Obviously, the category needs to be displayed as a grid and specific prod information to be viewed as a product info page (presuming this will be a cck node)
Can anyone please recommend the modules to use for this, esp. the image (thumbnail and grid display processes)
TIA
