still not working? :p

updats?

you would think that with the number of third part applications out there that the vB staff woudl actually sit down for a day and make a plugin or mod or hack and write some documentation that a moderatly knowledgeable coder could use. Now that would be what I call support .. yet here I am still waiting and hopping someone with more skills then I will come up with a way.

I create a package a few months ago http://www.oscommerce.com/community/...arch,vbulletin

I have had a few inquiries but not sure if anyone has tried to implement it - I am always happy to do so for a fee

Interesting david, i'll test it, thanks. :)

any update?

no, its not much use to us mere installers :)

somebody found out how to use vbulletin user DB with the one of OsCommerce???
like use one for both so ppl don't have to sign in 2 times...???

so far i accomplish this (mi store)

just iframe inside of a custom template including the header and the footer... and also modify the oscommerce css to make it look like part of the forum...

if any one need help on this to make it look like that let me know....

and also if somebody know how to combine vb and oscommerce BD let me know too plz...

pd: It is a Spanish community so the main language is Spanish....

im gonna work on this with my group...

nice idea i read the docs and looks very good to me...

but the problem is use one BD for both :)

will see what we can do :)

maybe we come out with something

Any progress?

Interesting ....... will check this out to see what can be done.

There used to be a contribution at the oscommerce site that did this for their 2.2 CVS version. Not sure if it is still there.

I think that Zen-cart has an integration module as well. Its an oscommerce fork.

Given the amount of OScommerce stores out there and the popularity of the software, a vbulletin integration would be a good step and would probably attract quite a few OScommerce webmasters to vbulletin.
And aside this; it would be a great add-on for vbulletin users as well.

I concur... :P

Does anybody found a Satisfactory Solution??? :rolleyes:

Will have a look at that too, just going over oscommerce-2.2rc1 atm.

Yeah I was quite surprised that there really isn't anything out there. Wound up writing my own store script. I probably wouldn't use an osC bridge now, but I agree it would be a very good thing to have available.

Same here, it's something I've been thinking about for a while now.

Me want this, too! :)

Reviewing the options at the moment before choose one to use in a framework.

I have something like this done for another product to integrate into osCommerce already, I'm a read through this here more, but I think overall, when you have a customer sign-up, all you want him/her to have is just a login directly made to your vB board is it right, because vB to osCommerce wouldn't benefit too much if they didn't purchase yet???

Because that's the only option I see for integrating osCommerce into vB is good for....

osComm :: vB

I think you missed the other way. If you have a large community and want to sell community related merchandise then you would want OSC to be a secondary software to vbulletin. (ie. you would want vbulletin to be the main software with OSC integrated into it instead of vbulletin integrated into OSC.

By the way, I am just looking for a way to put vbulletin header/footer on the OSC page without using iframe. That way I can have specific title/meta info while still maintaining a seamless visual integration. If anybody succeeds please post up :D

I would think it's the other way around you know? Why would you want a forums member in your "shopping cart" admin that hasn't bought a thing from you? Do you think that inside vBulletin's Members area you would be a customer already in their "admin"? Just by simply using their forums as a "simple member"? Seems sorta odd to have it that way though...

See what I mean? Or am I missing something here???

A OSCommerce customer account has much more information fields that are required to shop, then the vbulletin forum member account has. Therefor, it is not possible to shop with a forum account, but it is possible to browse the forum with a OSCommerce account.

Why not a bridge between both, plus a plug in that refers OSCommerce account to forum account and vice versa?

I think that it would be good to have a option to allow or not allow members without a OSCommere account to post in forums.
I also think it would be good for admins to easily check OSCommerce orders linked to a forum account. (In case of complaints, product reviews, etc.)

I thought OSCommerce was a query killer for small and medium forums. I do not know why vBulletin just not make a cart or redo subscription and purchase though cart system.

I created a contribution that uses nusoap to connect between the 2 apps - this is available from oscommerce downloads.

Currently you register in oscommerce and this also requests a forum name and then creates your vbulletin account. It should be failry straightforward to change it to work in reverses as well.

Currently you need to login to both applications separetly (ran out of time to implement one login- but can be done).

The contribution would probably need to be modified to suit your circumstances but the source code is all available so you could hire a php developer to do this.

Any news on this?

yeah, any news?

hi

i use the oscommerce since 6 years and i can tell that i know this engine (oscommerce)
to make a good brigde you need make this:
1) changing password function in vbulletin - and use from oscommerce (its better than in vb)
2) add some queries to both registering pages
3) make a one mod in activity link (add one param to check that user wants to have shopping feature)
4) in register form you should put the checkbox which tell to the script that user wants to be forum member (and vice versa)

thats all

as additional stuff you can add the "your basket" in forum navibar and of course link to the store.

i thinking now about a special promotion (in usergroup) for users which buy more than one time or leave for me some ammount of $$$ :D

there is a many ways to make this a one system with really good feature. if you wants i can in next week write more description about this bridge.

That would be great.

This is related, but not complete: http://webscripts.softpedia.com/scri...tion-6061.html

At least there is some progress. :)

I did cubecart+vbulletin...

check it out here: http://supplies.truckmountforums.com | http://www.truckmountforums.com

Whatcha think? Good enough?

Does it work well? i might try cubecart myself but then i dont know what i would sell lol but how did you get the two to work together? care to share the wealth there friend?

I will email you the person that helped me set it all up, he did a GREAT JOB and is from up northern usa.

I bought cubecart and installed everything, works great! This guy just helped me set it all up to make it look like my theme and charges really cheap!

Oscommerce has been Integrated into vBulletin 4 here:

http://www.itvault.com

That looks seamless :cool:

I see you have it on your own site, is this your product or did you purchase it?

More info on would be appreciated :up:

Hi,

This is my own product

Then please do not advertise it on our site. If you want to share it, please release it as a modification.

thats set up as paid one.. ?85:rolleyes:

So $120 +/-

Anyone else using this?

Some feedback would be good before dropping the funds. :up:

If anyone is looking into this script from IT Vault I would like to add that so far its top notch. Good service and a well designed product. Finally someone stepped up and made a VB Cart system that works. :D

I suggest anyone needing a solid cart to give it a try and no Im not making a cent off this. :up:
