Hi Bigo,

I will test it with the latest version of Magento and let you know the results.

Grtz,

Dion

Ok I have a new site which I am developing at the moment.

I am running
Joomla 1.51
phpBB3
I am waiting for a bridge for this.

I will be a beta tester for you. I have never used Magnito before so this will be a from scratch installation.

thx for the ext.. I be glad to help. Am working on it!

hi..

Everything is configure and status says good, but when am trying to login from joomla, it says username and password fails. but when i try to register, it opens magento in a wrapper.

I’ve setup magento on http://www.badurally.com/magento/
and the joomla integration is on http://www.badurally.com/magoomla/

username:
password: magento

or
username:
password: magento

Am using magento version 1.0, joomla 1.5.1, jfusion 1.0.4a and magento jfusion plugin from bigo

Hello Saleem,

first thanks for testing. The available integration won’t work for versions > 0.7 of Magento.

I’ve been working on a new plugin that should be available for testing tomorrow.

I hope more people will join us for testing in different environments.

cheers

Hi Guys,

I would love, to test JOO+MAG, lolz
thanks for this bigodines.

How is this coming along?  What is involved in getting the latest Magento and JFusion releases to work with each other?

I’d be happy to try some basic user level testing....

Any progress updates ???

joomla user here, hope there’s a way to integrate it to magento 1.0 which i am using now.

Anything ??

Anything ??

I can’t believe there is no programmer who could write the Magento-specific plugin for JFusion. By the way, in case this information is not spreaded enough - the new JFusion framework 1.0.7 has been released (though it has bugs) that allows integration with third-party apps. Obviously every app needs a specific plugin but programming that on the base of existing JFusion mechanism should be easy (for Magento programmers).

believe me share there are many programmers who can write that plugin, but you have to remember that this is open source and 14 posts in 6 months are not the best way to motivate a developer

wgalindo: it’s erroneous to base developer motivation on just the comments on this post. Perhaps the reason the low level of posts is that this isn’t the optimum place for Joomla developers to discover and learn about jFusion and/or Magento. A post at a Joomla-freelancers/developers site as well as the e-commerce-specific Joomla forums (Virtuemart, etc) would generate broader interest.

In my personal case, I have been receiving the post alerts and remain on the sidelines “listening” to the discussion - until now. I’d like to see an educated & skilled Magento or Joomla developer/evangelist/staffer pick this up and lead the charge. Since I don’t have the ability to code, I - and I suspect many others - are hopeful that they’ll be more action on a bridge between these 2 great products. Meanwhile, we’re patiently waiting.

Hey,
I think this is a great idea. Personally i feel joomla is the best cms around and magento is by far the best ecommerce platform. Ive only just managed to get magento working on my server due to the very tempremental permission settings. But i am interested in merging joomla and magento. How does jfusion work? Which parts of the website would joomla control and which magento. I think a demo would be a good idea so people can see how the two would work together.

JFusion is just the way to share usernames/passwords as far as I know. If I think about INTEGRATION than it comes to integrate TEASERS into joomla content. featured products and so on.

I suppose there is no JFusion needed at all.

Magento has its data in database tables and what the joomla plugins for virtuemart mart do they should also do for magento tables.

So the guy that produced the products plugins for virtuemart would be perfect to make some changes on the plugins so that you can choose where the data comes from!

I would be interested in helping beta test this bridge/integration.

Please feel free to contact me in ref to this.

Thanks

PHP/Architect’s guide to E-commerce programming describes a solution.. I am trying this solution out.

I am stuck with the step that deals with connecting to joomla database.
The book seems to take this step for granted or I miss something

Unfortunately I don;t have the time to be a beta tester, but I will test nevertheless (beta testers do more than just try out the software). I think Jfusion is brilliant and I can;t wait to try it out, but to integrate magento and Joomla I think there is more to it than just synchronizing users (although, that would be a fundamental feature).

With my limited magento experience I may be wrong, but I believe that for successful integration Magento should be left to handle the catalog and checkout area. Then Joomla would need a number of the Magento “modules” turned into installable Joomla modules that talk to the Magento database.

I think Magento Itself may be too complex to be slaved as a component inside Joomla, but I believe with a bit of Magic it can be bridged properly.
I don’t know. Too soon for me to say.

One thing I know: I despise the Magento template and content management system. It reminds me of working with OScommerce. Something the Magento developers I am sure would be horrified to hear.
