History of BitcommercePackage
Bitcommerce is a full fledged CMS combined with a full fledged e-commerce system.
Why Bitcommerce?
!!Digital Content, Meet E-Commerce
If you want to create a paywall for online digital content, Bitcommerce does this out of the box using groups from UsersPackage. Assign a group to product, and on purchase users will be placed in that group. Ad-hoc creation of users groups allows unlimited possibilities. Access to file downloads, wiki pages, photo galleries, and more can all be controlled by purchasing a product of your creation.
!!Designed for modularity while retaining pristine source
Simply put, Zen-cart/OSCommerce mods suck in that they litter your file tree with files outside of the primary source tree. We have fixed this. Inherent design to allow for mutli-repository extensions integrated
!!!Fulfillment support
Create Your own custom modules to handle fulfillment integration with back end systems.
!!Want code?
#((GetCode|Get the latest bitweaver)) - bitcommerce requires the latest bitweaver, and the get then clone (or submodule add) [http://github.com/bitweaver/commerce.git] at your bitweaver root.
!!History
The bitcommerce project is a large project, almost as large as bitweaver itself. It began as a fork of the Zencart E-Commerce application at version 1.2.5d. It was converted into a BitweaverPackage that installs into the framework like any other. The approach is just like the TikiWiki -> ReleaseZero -> ReleaseOne approach for bitweaver:
*First, port the architecture and maintain functionality
*Second, expand functionality and greatly improve modularity.
!!Want to know more?
*See [https://github.com/bitweaver/commerce/commits/master] for details and current progress.
*Stop by ((ConnectingToIrc|IRC)) and chat with us in real-time
!!Current Status
*A few sites have it running in production and processing live transactions (that's real cash. woo!) If you want to see bitcommerce running on postgres in live production environment, [http://www.viovio.com/shop|buy something from Viovio].
*The schema is considered to be cooled, though a few small changes are still occuring. Any future schema changes will only be permitted with extreme need.
*__MAIN TODO CHORE__: Port everything in commerce/pages to php & smarty .tpl pairs. This is a lot of work, and very risky due to the high possibility regressive bug introduction. About 10 of 70 pages have been completed.
