Hi new to CMS and portals etc and I am looking at what product to go with, eZ publish looks very good but I also use OsCommerce for our online shop - does, or has anyone, integrated the two together?

Thanks

Greg

Greg, I haven't heard of any OSC/eZ integrations; but that's not to say it can't be done. All in all I think that there is a lot of overlap between the two.

What features of OSC do you want that eZ publish doesn't have? OsCommerce is a great package and I think there are quite a few features that can (and should) be added to eZ publish.

Hi,

with webgrab in ez you can include nearly everything.
It is not integrated yet. But I think it is better to integrate the function in ez because of updates.

Interesting product ekke. Have you used it with other programs? If so, what do you think about it? Are you planning on implementing it with eZ?

>Have you used it with other programs?
Yes, it is in typo3 and contenido and i tried it in phpcms to. Works fine, look into the forum for problems:

>Are you planning on implementing it with eZ?
No, but you need not a lot of time. In Ez you can develop everything, what you can do with osc or phpbb2.
I made some shops with osc, but update with own layout and improvements is terrible. Here you have XML in database, so the dream of crossmedial publishing is possible.
With osc you get faster results but later more problems.

And do erverything in one place is better for customer.

If you want to stay with osc:
For OSC there are some cms like functionallities, go into contributions there and search for news or forum etc.

If you want to migrate to ez you can have a look at
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/contributions/import_script_for_data_import_from_22_to_31

and modify it for your need (and post it ;-) )

Hope it helps,

greetings ekke
