Just looking for some insight from members of this community. I've got an organization that's looking for me to update their site. They are currently running a ProductCart E-Commerce style site.

Though, I'm a DNN guy and am curious as to if anyone is successfully running a site that has product cart merged with or integrated into a DNN portal.

Thanks for any insight or advice.

Regards,

Clint

I've not done that but the only thought that comes to mind is the same as trying to share space with Dropal or Joomla. ASP has it's own session environment in which variables are stored (such as cart contents), and if you have the cart totals in the common header/footer of the site, how do you pass that information to PHP or .NET in order to display cart totals on a consistent basis across the site. Other than that I don't see a big issue off hand.

I have a client runing ProductCart inside Joomla but they are doing it using iframes.

Works OK though.

Thanks for the insight and links. I guess the I-Frames would probably be the best way to do it given the ASP Classic & ASP.NET situation. May be a little confusing though to have duplicate Login buttons on the "buy" pages...one to login to ProductCart and one to Login to the CMS. Maybe if I "hid" it at the bottom or something would be good.

Would make sense to hide the other login - dont want the customers trying to log into your CMS.

It's not the way I would do it personally as I'm not sure the seach engines would do it justice with the productcart aspect being embedded inside a Joomla page.

The site I showed you does very well because it had national press advertsing to back it up and even got a mention on 'Loose Women' ( a popular daytime TV program in the UK )
