Shipping calculations? Where did they go in 4.7?
Hi everyone.
I just installed the 4.7 e-commerce package and have configured a webshop. However, I can't seem to find the shipment settings I had i the 4.6 version of e-commerce. The shipment module is installed and active, but this doesn't give me any shipment options. I don't want to use a separate module for shipmens (UPS, Airmail ++ modules). In the 4.6 versions I simply used the "standard" shipping calculation functionality where I could setup the following:
- Shipping costs based on number of items in shopping cart.
- Shipping costs based on total price of shopping cart.

Read moreProducts with different attributes (not so easy)?
I'm currently building a webshop that sell clothes. Before I start installing and configuring the e-commerce module I really need to understand one consept. How can I create different products with different attributes? Here's an example:
Lets's use socks as an example. Socks come in different types (sports, wool, light summer etc.). These are all separate products. However, each product come in different colors and sizes (attributes). The number of attributes on each type is not constant, for example:
Sports sock comes in
- Medium - Black
- Medium - White
- Large - Black
import products/users from XML/CSV files
We are working on several online shops using Drupal + the e-commerce package. At the moment we are looking into integration with backend systems and datafeeds. Using either Drupal modules or programs which will interact directly with the drupal/e-commerce database.

E-Commerce docs management
E-Commerce project stands out from many other drupal contributions, mainly in size. Recently, access to Drupal CVS was tightened, allowing a project owner to specify who has access to the project. gordon has taken advantage of this, for obvious reasons.
So, at the moment, I've got the job of updating README files. I've decided to create this thread in order to inform you how I intend to do that, so you'll know what the heck is going on.
Read moreDrupal code sprint, workshops and conference in Australia
Hi everyone,
My name is Sammy Spets and i'm a Drupal contributor. Sounds like an AA intro doesn't it? :) Anyway, i've been lurking in the shadows of Drupal for just over two years and have just started contributing.
I was chatting to Kieran Lal, of CivicSpaceLabs fame, and he asked me,
02:27 <Amazon> so when are you going to throw the Drupal ecommerce conference?
You might be asking yourself two questions. Why was Kieran asking Sammy to run a conference? And why was Sammy awake at 02:27 talking to Kieran? Well, the second one is easy, Kieran is your all round good bloke trying to make Drupal part of everyone's life. The first question? I don't know the answer. :)

Shipping with multiple shipments per order
Here's some of our preliminary thoughts on checkout and shipping.
Each of our fulfillers and product types has a variety of different shipping calculation methods and shipping vendors. We'll simplify these to make three options available at checkout, economy, standard and express.
Each product type will be handled by a particular shipping module, which will base shipping cost on whatever parameters, e.g. shipping zone and qty of items, or zip code and weight of items. Each shipping module will also create a tracking id for its portion of the order. The shipping prices will be summed to calculate the total shipping cost. But, individual shipping costs for each part of the order will also be saved (along with tracking number), both for purposes of displaying to the user and for accounting reasons. Here we can also saved the exact shipping type/vendor selected by the module (e.g. USPS express or FedEx Overnight)
Read moreenhanced ajax checkout
Is anyone thinking about or working on an improved ajax checkout? The goal would be combining checkout screens, logintoboggan login/registration, and payment into a one- or two-screen form wizard with in-place editing of user-entered data. So users don't feel the burden of creating an account and navigating a form obstacle course.
It seems theoretically possible using some javascript libraries, form_alter, etc.
We'd like to work on this for the 4.7 version of goodstorm and are looking for developers and any sites which would be interested in co-sponsoring development.
