EAN 13 is an international system. Is there an API or database that contains all items that have these barcodes? Like all food, goods you can buy in a regular convenience store. Is there a global open database for this that i could integrate with my Database and then use it by adding the just the barcode and the all info related to that product will be autopopulated?
Generally we have several different types of EAN code.
We can call them Gtin code.
It could be 8, 12, 13 or 14 digits long.
You could use this database:
https://market.mashape.com/mignify/gtin2product
It's a very user friendly and intelligent API, U can use it to get directly the product information by gtin. Also It could help u to extract the information of a page from E-commerce site.
And the free calls is enough for my necessary in my project.
Hold could help U. keep in contact.
Look here: https://www.outpan.com
It is an crowd sourcing project and there is also an API, where you can query an EAN code and it outputs detailed information.

I'm using Wordpress and Woocommerce to make an online store. I want to sell some accounts (username and password). For example, the product name would be "Foo" and contains 100 files each containing an account information. So, the product should appear once in store and on each sale one file should be delivered to user. How can I do this? Is there any add-on for this purpose?
Thanks in advance.
You need to be looking at "Digital Downloads". For example a rough overview on this is here:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/digital-downloadable-product-handling/
And then to create the "different" files you will use product "Variations", where each variation would be a file.
I want to develop a website where teachers create exams and students pay money in order to pass these exams, so it's an e-commerce website where products are quiz.
The exams will be managed with a quiz plugin : i'll use Watu.
I still have no idea what e-commerce plugin I'll use.
What I want is to make exams as products so students can add them to cart, but I dont't see how can I do it : the e-commerce plugin manages its own products !!! Is there an easy way to do it ?
This is my idea: alter the quiz module so when an exam is created the script insert a row in the e-commerce table(s), so when I go to the e-commerce plugin I'll find a new product! But I think this is not a clean way !!
You might consider setting up woo-commerce setting a link as a software product that will be delivered on checkout.
You could build a quiz answer table in sql, deliver a generic quiz (via a link sold in the store)
the quiz table could have a field for quiz_id and you could have their answers recorded as a text field.
so the link would be delivered digitally thru the store, your answers 1-100 a-d might look like this:
userid: xxxxx
autodate
test: 1
Answer:abadddaeababadddaeababadddaeababadddaeababadddaeababadddaeab
so one entry would contain all the answers on the test in question in one field.
once committed you could return a result based on a difference function from a pattern mask.
how many wrong answers in the simple query.
You then can store the answers and draw data based on what particular answers they got wrong.
they can also retake the same test at a later date and you can see each time how they did.
advantages of using a single text field means that you can use a single compare to pull the data and it's short to store.
with a membership plugin. Give roles afther payments. Diferent roles for diferent levels of exam. It´s easy than make conexion with database.
Does anyone with DotNetNuke have experience with downloadable content with a shopping cart?
There is a client using CatalooK as their shopping cart. They sell user manuals for a range of car models (one car has multiple user manuals in different languages) but did some test and this is we found so far:
If we have all the downloadable manuals users in the ‘All Users’ role will have access to all the downloadable content by anyone
When a user registers (either from the Login page, or through purchasing a product from the cart), a user account is automatically created for them and are assigned the role as ‘Registered Users’. This solves the problem of having all users access to the content – can just change the permission for the downloadable items to only display for 'Registered User' only
However, anyone can register themselves on the website and automatically be assigned a ‘Registered Users’ role, therefore getting access to the manuals without having paid for them
A step further would be to require the manual adding of user accounts to a new role called ‘Downloads’ which would be the only users within the 'Downloads’ role to have access to the downloadable manuals
Problem here is, if a user purchases 1 downloadable item and they are added to the ‘Downloads’ role, they will also be given access to all of the other downloadable manuals – as they are in the same role
So I guess the workable solution would be to create a new role for every car model to allow people in each car model role access to the downloads – which would also mean manually adding the role of every group purchased to that user’s accounts.
Anyone have any experience or alternatives to this to make it more automated and secure?
Basically no body has access to the downloads unless you have purchased the products.
Upon purchasing some shopping carts send you an email with a unique link to the downloadable so they can access it that way. In your situation you also want them to be able to see the documents on the site at anytime after purchasing them, which makes sense.
Catalook has a 'Your Orders' module, does that show you the document or electronic item you purchased? That might be an option.
But worst case, I guess you can implement your 1 role per product. Sounds like a lot of work though! Or, do some custom :]coding.
Based on your situation the cart I use the most DNNspot (mine) - it would be similar to Catalook. Where you would need to create a role per product. Or use the orders module to show your previous orders which would link to your document you bought.
How good is your SQL? You could use the core DNN 'reports module' If you analyze the database and orders table - with a little bit of SQL you could setup a custom Report and maybe solve this.
This is very interesting an challenging. probably, this is not supported by catalook store module by default. If you are looking to implement a new simple module, there are some simple solutions to this.
Using personalization: you can use dnn's personalization provider to store user products. initially empty, and as user purchases the products, you can add comma separated list of productid to maintain it smartly. check that values back to validate downloads
Using custom user profile property and use it in same way as [1] above
Email option suggested by #Ryan is good option when you want to allow users to download manually only via email links. But again, you will still need to validate if a user is allowed to download that product or not that you can achieve via the above suggestions.
Let me know if you need more help with this, I have good experience to deal with catalook specific small modules for such extensions.
Happy coding
So, I'm working on a Drupal 6 project that ultimately replaces a big, complex Excel spreadsheet with a workflow as such:
Customer books an appointment via the Bookings API
Employee goes to customer and does a bunch of measurements
Employee enters measurements into either an uploaded Excel spreadsheet or a web-based form
Website generates a PDF with measurement sheet and the output from the Invoice module
Customer receives an email with link to watermarked version of PDF.
Customer pays online and receives link to unwatermarked PDF.
My questions are:
What is the best way to go about Part 3 (Such that the data can be used by Parts 4-6)? CCK fields and a custom content type?
What is the best way to combine content types (I.e., "Measurements" custom content type with "Invoice" content type) into a single PDF?
Bonus Marks: Any way to auto-populate Invoice module content types?
Any help will be muchly appreciated!
You are actyally trying to sell a product with customisable input (comparable to a t-shirt with a custom print, but instead of using a custom picture, you use custom data).
Here is what I did for a comparable project:
Use ubercart: http://www.ubercart.org/
Use the UC Node Checkout extension, this allows you to link a node to an ubercart product and use the information in the node for your customised product: http://drupal.org/project/uc_node_checkout
Here's an excellent walkthrough for UC Node Checkout: http://drupaleasy.com/blogs/ultimike/2009/03/event-registration-ubercart
You can use FileField for uploading the Excel file: http://drupal.org/project/filefield
Make sure you use the Transliteration module: http://drupal.org/project/transliteration
The PECL upload progress is also nice to have
You will also need a csv reader, but haven't tried this yet
Finally, to give a link to the file, you can use the Ubercart selling files mechanism: http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/3345/selling_files
Bonus:
You can use the Automatic node tite module to autoname a node: http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle
For other fields, you can use the token mechanism: http://drupal.org/project/token
I ended up using:
a. Storm for CRM functionality
b. Simple Payments for Storm Invoice payment
c. Print module for PDF output
d. Calendar (+ Views) for appointment booking (Used internally; stage 1 changed to "employee sets up appointment" in Storm Project)
e. CCK + Flexifield for the measurement sheet content type
f. Custom-written module to pass cost values to Storm and automate tasks between Storm/CCK measurement sheet.
Ubercart really is overkill for simple payment applications. Alas, Simple Payments is pretty poorly supported. If only there was a unified payment API or something...
If an User has X amount of credits on his account (I think CCK can store this value). He can create specific Nodes (requests for admin). Each Node has a Type (Taxonomy defined, may be. Or via CCK). Each Type has associated number of credits. When user publishes a Node providing certain type, his balance of credits decreases by the number of credits Node Type has (admin will perform this request and send user notification email).
This is some kind of very simple e-shop for activation codes. I didn't want to use Ubercart due to it's complexity. May be this functionality can be achieved using some simple Drupal modules? Or may be there are some alternate ways? Or it is better to go Ubercart (can it do what I want BTW)?
I've seen folks in the Ubercart forums do this kind of thing for purchasing/posting ads on a site.
Check out these modules:
http://drupal.org/project/uc_store_credit
http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_ubercart
https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/taggartj/2343093
may be worth a look it is a credit system, adds a product feature to give user credits also has good helper functions to integrate with rules ect , also has a sub module to limit a content type by amount of credits and then deducts after the new node has ben created & has blocks to show the user their credits and credit history :)
