Safe Cosmetics Amazon Mashup (safecosmeticshop.com)
osherl - November 8, 2009 - 22:25
www.safecosmeticshop.com lists only recommended safe cosmetics currently available on Amazon.com.
The heart of the site is the great Faceted Search module by David Lesieur. Other modules used: Amazon, Amazon Store, CCK, Thickbox and a custom module to load/update the data and style the output.
I have discovered Drupal features I never knew existed. The latest lifesaver is the Batch API. Updating the cosmetic nodes with Amazon data takes about 20-30 minutes. It worked on my local machine and of course it was timed-out on the shared virtual server (Go Daddy). Batch API to the rescue! I couldn't believe how easy it is to use... Drupal rocks!
Feedback is appreciated!
