Incredible E-Commerce solution!
Permalink
Hi all.
A friend of mine was trying to make a magentoGo store...
Magento is nice but not at all as great as Concrete5!
So he decide to ask me to help him out.
i've checked with the e_commerce add on but it is not quite what he was looking for neither.
While searching for a solution (and chatting with folks on the IRC channel) i found this! :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9ei6GT6Ngc...
nevermind if the guys is talking About Muse... it's perfect for c5
Check out how this guy is embedding the Wazala demo store, then do the same in a html block on a hidden page of your favorite c5 site.
i did it on my site and it worked right away!
i can't beleive this! its exacly what i was searchin for for weeks now.
for those of you who don't want to look at the video, paste this code in a html block and check for yourself:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><!--
var is_ssl = ("https:" == document.location.protocol);
var setsHost = is_ssl ? "http://www.wazala.com/widget/" : "http://www.wazala.com/widget/";
document.write("<"+"script src='" + setsHost + "js/widget_over.js?v=1&rnd="+new Date().getTime()+"' type='text/javascript'" + "><" + "/script" + ">");
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var store_widget_options = {};
store_widget_options.ver = 1;
store_widget_options.display = "overlay";
store_widget_options.placement = "right";
store_widget_options.label = "Demo Store";
store_widget_options.nickname = "wazala";
store_widget_options.lang = "en";
store_widget_options.btn_container_width = "960";
store_widget_options.wazalaURL = setsHost;
var store_widget = new WazalaWidget.widget(store_widget_options);
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-1625379-15']);
//_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.wazala.com']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
leave the code like this to have the cool little tab on top, or change: (store_widget_options.display = "overlay";) To: ("embed";)
to have the store load in the block.
Also: change the language if you want (we did it in french)
hope this post isn't going to hurt anyone.
but this solution is absolutely perfect for us.

Their solution is very affordable compare to Shopify (whom btw dont have multilingual option) and or Magento...
maybe a great coder in the c5 community can make an add on for this.
also this is what they say on the mighty Drupal site:
«The Wazala service offers a low impact, easy method for web site owners and developers to include eCommerce in their Drupal sites, without the additional, often significant, effort other Drupal eCommerce solutions require.»

Its a good script but there is lack of security. I don't have any option to secure my orders, like if I don't want to reveal my orders to others, it's not possible as it is stored in third party database. Also if the Wazala site is down, there is no way to run my site. So I need to depend on a third party for my store. Also I cannot play with the e-commerce as it is for end user. There is no option for developers to edit. Sometimes it might be required to show the store as a page rather not as fancybox. i don't see any option for that.
But it is good option for those who don't worry about the above mentioned points.

The "Lazy me" likes the ease :)
The "frugal me" hates the monthly subscription :(
Nice to have options though
