Hi,

I'm about to start work on a new e-commerce site. I saw this web site that looks like it is using drupal with the e-commerce module: http://store.altenergystore.com/Solar-Panels/150-Watts-Up-Solar-Panels/c...

Would they have used Views to generate the listbox which allows the customer to select how to sort products?

They have added a $/watt attribute to this type of product. Do you think they created a new e-commerce module for product type solar panels or is this something that they would have done with CCK?

At http://store.altenergystore.com/Solar-Panels/c541/ is a product category list. Is this something that would be generated by the categories/taxonomy module or would it have been customized with views or contemplate module?

I know I can build this website with drupal but I'm trying to figure out exactly which modules and methods are the best to use before spending lots of time entering products.

I don't mind programming if required but there is no sense writing a custom module when all I need to do is use the right combination of existing modules.

Thanks for any insights

cdiggity,

It's a shame no-one answered your post here. That is a fabulous site if indeed it was created with Drupal 5.x and e-commerce. Do you still think that it was? Further, I am asking the same questions as you have asked above, so I am interested in any answers you might be able to shed some light on.

This post is over a year old so I have no idea what the site was back then, but I see no sign of drupal in it currently.

In any case, i see nothing there that can't be done with drupal plus one of the e-commerce modules (ubercart or ecommerce).

Hello there I would appreciate if someone could help me I'm currently working on a project that needs the exact same layout as this for the e-commerce all products on one line with a nice scroll bar. Here is the address again http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category1_10051_109....

I think this could be done through theming a view, but like I said I'm not to sure on how to go about this. Plus I am using drupal eCommerce and not ubercart, is that OK??? I think yes...

So please much help would be appreciated even a link to a tutorial would be a good start.

Thanks in advance.
