Every contribution should have a "sample" site displaying it's functions...

especially the ecommerce one... which i only found 1 site using it...

are there any others?

i'd like to see the other site you identified... there was a sample site, i believe it was the creators' wifes' site included on the module page about 6 months ago... that link is no longer there... my site is currently trying the ecommerce module but i'm looking for 'other sites' that use it as well, as when going through the 'file download' payment process i found no link to the file i just bought (using my girlfriends paypal account). Like how I just changed the subject to my problems? :)

sorry i was trying to be funny, but i created a new forum topic for my specific problem
http://drupal.org/node/14123

still interested in other e-commerce sites though, as i remember the one that was an example being just a shop and nothing else but a pretty good example of what it could look like.

I use it on my site http://www.freejournal.net . Kind of a mini Ebay auction for users that keep their journals, diaries and blogs there.

http://www.mypillowshop.com, a site selling bed and travel pillows, is a retail site using authorize.net for their credit card processing. In this site, we have turned off all of the comment features, and used drupal for content-managed shopping only.

I use ecommerce on my site... but it's an unconventional implementation of it.

look at any of these pools to see what I mean.

I was a bit too tired to understand what i was looking at last night. That's a really interesting way to use the e-commerce module... what is powering the choices? how do you sift through who wins and who loses, is it an auction of somesort?

And there are three other ones in the works that I can't mention yet. Once finished, I'll showcase these on the ecommerce project page.

I would like to know how you guys add images (which module) and how did you get the image to align next to the text. i use the upload module via the tinyMCE module to add images to product discriptions. This method results in the first row of text aligning with the lower right hand of the image and the second row below the image.

Sonic Heart uses e-commerce to manage our magazine sales. We sell single issues, print subscriptions, and web subscriptions.

Wow! Excellent info on which modules power Sonic Heart can be found at http://sonicheart.com/about/about_the_website/drupal_modules_powering_so...

I really appreciate that Sonic Heart made the info available because it helps me think about what's possible for my web site as I explore the modules (both core and contributed) Sonic Heart is using.

Does Sonic Heart run on Drupal 4.6? Or has it been updated to run on one of the 4.7.0-betas? If using 4.6, you can skip the rest of this paragraph. If using one of the 4.7.0-betas, I noticed under the 4.6 ecommerce module the following, "Do NOT use the 4.7 tar file as it is not a complete package. Use CVS instead." Are you using the CVS ecommerce module and, if so, how has that worked for you?

For either the 4.6 or 4.7 ecommerce modules, how has that worked out for you? Was it pretty much a straight install of the module or have you had to tweak it quite a bit?

Thank you in advance and keep up the great work on Sonic Heart!

Thanks. I have to remember to keep that list up to date.

Sonic Heart is running the latest 4.6. Originally I installed 4.6RC but found that there were some bugs, and CVS modules weren't helping. After some long nights fixing things I decided to keep Sonic Heart running the latest stable release instead installing any Betas or Release Candidates.

For e-commerce it's pretty much a straight install. I decided to use image module for the shopping area, as it was the easiest way to get a cover image associated with a product. In the future I'm looking to replace that with the CCK, esp. since we'll be offering other types of products.

We offer all of our back issues for free online, but people can order a print version as well. I'm experimenting with putting all of the articles (story module) into a book layout, then associating the main page for each issue with a product as well. I think it's still a little early to tell which is a more successful method. So far it seems that people are viewing each article of the issue, so that's a plus.
