Hi everyone
I have decided to go with osCommerce for my ecommerce solution as the current modules don't suite my needs.
I am wanting to know how I can get my shopping cart to appear inside my drupal pages. Currently it acts as a stand alone cart operating beside drupal. I am attempting to get some consistency with look and feel.
Many thanks in advance for any comments.
Regards
Fred

reading through this list http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=oscommerce+drupal of related topics. I don't see where anyone has accomplished this. Those who have tried all wound up back at the ecommerce.module.

I've worked with oscommerce, zencart and Drupal ecommerce. What is the problem you are having with Drupal ecommerce?

To be very honest, the lack
To be very honest, the lack of support for the Drupal Ecommerce module was the driving factor, and after 3 weeks I gave up. I have managed to get osCommerce up and running within a week with minimal problems, and the problems I did have were sorted out within a day. The only real issue I have with it is that it operates independent of Drupal, this means that a user has 2 sets of login and I can't share the look and feel. The logins (data sharing) I can resolve, the other I don't know about yet.

Lack of support
I had no problem finding support for the ecommerce module, you can usually find the chief developer on
#drupal-ecommerce on IRC. FYI, zencart is much easier to customize the look and feel than oscommerce (zencart is a oscommerce fork).

Who's the chief developer of e-commerce ? Gorgon ?
What do you mean by IRC ? (what's that ?)
Do you have a link to this ?

IRC is a protocol similar to
IRC is a protocol similar to instant messaging but much older, where people hang out in rooms ("channels").
These channels have a subject and a name (such as #drupal-ecommerce) and they belong to an IRC network (accessible through different servers composing this network).
Drupal's IRC channels are on the "freenode" network, and they are #drupal (the developers), #drupal-support (we module pushers) etc.
To get there, you need an IRC client program (lately I use a free one called "kvirc").
A quick way is to get the Chatzilla plugin for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/16/). Then you can open Chatzilla, and type:
- "/nick Chill35" to get a nickname
- "/attach freenode" or "/server irc.freenode.net" to connect to the network
- "/join #drupal-ecommerce" if that is the channel where you want to go. You will see people there and you will be able to chat by typing.
Another way to open Chatzilla and connect to the network is by typing "irc://irc.freenode.net" in Firefox, and then you can join a channel. Other IRC clients can do more fancy stuff (scripting).

No offense but sounds like a very geeky widget ! LOL!!! ;)
CogRusty I think you saved my life in another thread.
You were on to something... About www.mySite.com versus mySite.com and cookies. I think the bug has to do with that. it's very tricky. I'll go over there and explain what I did. What I think I did that I think solved the problem. I don't want to be overly enthusiastic.

Saved your life because you
Saved your life because you didn't jump out of the window? You are exaggerating. Don't you live on the first floor? :p
I hope you have a success story useful for others. Going to look.

I was actually quite discouraged.......................................................... I always use humor not to scare people. I care a lot about people. Anyway that's the past now. I feel good again. I hope that my findings will help others.
