I want to find sites using ubercart marketplace module because I want to see how it looks and inspiration on how do I make my site.
Is there any google search syntax for finding such sites?
I am not sure how will you get such list of sites that are using Ubercart marketplace.
There are two live sites links given on Ubercart Marketplace-Drupal Project Page
These two live sites are using the same module, one is not working but the second link is perfectly fine.
You may visit that site to check.
Hope this will give you an idea, for what you are looking for.

I was trying out AMP and wanted to make it work with Wordpress. I found the https://amp-wp.org plugin. I primarily want to explore AMP Stories, so when I read the plugin documentation here - https://amp-wp.org/documentation/amp-stories/ it says that AMP Stories are coming out as a separate plugin. So I checked https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/amp+stories/ but I couldn't find a plugin by the - AMP Project Contributors . So is this plugin still in pipeline?
Thanks
As an engineer working on both the official AMP plugin and on Stories, I am happy to answer your question.
First of all, it's great that you're interested in Stories! I'd be curious to learn more about the specific project you're envisioning to use Stories on. Would you mind sharing some more details about this?
To answer your question: Yes, this plugin is actively being worked on and it's coming soon! We want to make sure we create a captivating solution for visual storytelling that WordPress users will love, that's why you can't find it yet on WordPress.org. It'll take at least another month until we feel comfortable sharing the new Stories plugin with the community.
Once it's ready, we will make sure to announce it on various channels and update the https://amp-wp.org/ website accordingly. Until then, you might want to follow development progress on GitHub.
I am looking for a WordPress plugin/theme that offers similar functionality to this website: https://secure.heathrow.com
The search would essentially be the same, leading through to a few options which you can then book/purchase via a payment merchant.
I have ploughed through wordpress.org plugins section, and had no joy.
If anyone can recommend or know of anything similar, as has any type of solution I would be most grateful! :)
Thanks
You will not find a specific WordPress plugin tailored to that type of search and purchase function. If you look at the source code for that site (in Chrome, View -> Developer -> View Source), you will see that the main script that is running the search is an .asp script (Microsoft product). This is likely a custom built site.
There are some plugins that will help you with e-commerce on the WordPress platform such as WooCommerce, Shopify, WP Ecommerce, etc, all of which do charge fees for the services provided in the plugin. Many people who run e-commerce sites often find developers to work with them to build something more custom than these platform plugins can provide.
Instead, look for a search function plugin in WordPress to go through your database, then evaluate the e-commerce platform plugins for a functional match. A good rule of thumb in WordPress is that if you can't find an exact plugin for what you want, try to break the pieces down into components and search for a plugin for each of the components.
We are planning to create an asp.net website (probably mvc), that needs a cms for news items.
Our content managers and others who require to publish news have asked if they can use wordpress for content management.
Our users have different roles, and news items should be visible to certain roles, or even specific users if possible.
The reason they want wordpress is the manager's user friendliness, so if some other alternative with the same kind of user experience would be ok.
Could anyone please point me in some direction?
NOTE: I'm still doing research at the moment, so I've got nothing holding me back at this point.
There is an API plugin that has been developed to spit out information in JSON, but I have not actually implemented a site with it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
Perhaps you could have the authors work on a wordpress install and create your app to draw content via that plugin?
I too was facing the same issue, little different. We want to have WP as CMS so that our site can take the benefit of SEO which is very easy with WP. SO we installed WP under a folder in the Main ASP.net based website. Initially there were issues, I was unable to run it. Finally managed to run it. Solution is posted here - http://www.wwwlabz.com/how-to-run-a-php-based-website-from-a-subfolder-in-asp-net-website. Hope it will help someone. Actual site where we implemented this is http://www.periproperties.com/content/.
Now I want to have specific section of WP to be accessible on my site. SO I am exploring different options and will post, if found something
Thanks.
DotNetNuke is the most popular ASP.NET based CMS (source). I am implementing my first project in it and so far I am very happy with it.
Note the free edition will not work for you since you need customizable security roles and free has a limited set of predetermined roles. You'll need the pro edition.
I don't know how similar it is to WordPress. Overall, WordPress is much more popular but of course there are platform issues with WordPress since it is Apache based and you want to create an ASP.NET website.
I'm working on a site that is built in WordPress and I want to add ecommerce functionality. I have some products, and need a backend for these products so I'm using wp-ecommerce plugin - but how do I use this functionality on frontend?
If anybody has any ideas how to make a shopping related site in WordPress then please let me know.
I would suggest you to go straight to the source and talk to the guys that did it
http://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce/
and see some video tutorials on the subject
also, you can try different methods, for example, if it's a simple shop why not give FoxyCart a go seeing this good screencast from CSS Tricks

I have been making plans to create a site that would contain several different sections, such as several blog feeds for reviews and articals, a forum, and also a stock site where people can sell/buy photos.
I was planning on doing this in PHP, but have recently started using wordpress and found it to be very powerful. is a site like this too "advanced" to be done in wordpress?
WordPress can be used for more than just blogs, having recently won an award for best CMS proves that!
The reviews and articles would just be posts, in different parent categories.
The forum could be implented with bbPress (http://bbpress.org) or SimplePress (http://simplepressforum.com)
The buying/selling photos could be done with a combination of either the built in WordPress gallery or a wordpress plugin such as NextGEN (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery) and a shopping cart or paypal plugin.
It would take some integration work, but it certainly is all possible with WordPress :-)
This is not the question you should be asking IMO.
The question to ask is: "Does using wordpress make creating this website easier ?"
If the pages you will be creating are related to the blog posts, then yes. For example, with Wordpress, your posts categories can be listed as sub-menu items.
But, if your pages are not related to the "main" blog, why bother using Wordpress?
You mentioned you were gonna do it in PHP but now are thinking about WordPress. I just found that funny because WordPress IS written in PHP ;). Wordpress has been used as a CMS for a while now and I think it's often a great place to start. I love WordPress but it's not the only CMS out there you should look at Drupal, Joomla, Movable Type, or one of many other Open Source or even commercial CMS'. You may also want to look at other products in the Automattic family such as WordPress MU, BuddyPress and BBPress. I would say using someone else code can save you a lot or time but not always. In certain situations writing your own CMS may be faster and better.
Hope this helps.
But, if your pages are not related to
the "main" blog, why bother using
Wordpress?
It's a well known plataform, tested and used by millions of people;
A Huge plugin ecosystem that deals with SEO, Backup, Twitter, E-commerce, you name it;
A great documentation;
A great admin interface with WYSIWYG editors already implemented;
An interesting approach to use "static pages" along with your posts, so you can have a full blown CMS application.
These are just some advantages. I don't recommend Wordpress for huge enterprise portals, but if you're not doing a complete different way of interaction (like stackoverflow, which is unique in it's way of work) for a website, I think it's a better approach then trying to code everything from scratch.
To write plugins you just use php, html and some functions aviable at plataform's core. No useless XML configuration files, no proprietary template languages inside the plataform, nothing. Write a bunch of php inside a directory, put inside "plugins" and you're done.
Here are some sites that I've done with Wordpress that are more than just blogs:
Driia's Dreams, which is blog and online store for my wife's jewelry business. (I take no responsibility for her theme.)
Barking Mad Productions, which is primarily a CMS for an event production company, with a blog.
Ludus, which tracks the games that we play each week (blog), along with information about the games themselves (CMS).
Craig's Chaos Machine, which documents everything I'm learning about Chaos Toy and Chaos Machines. (Still a work in progress.)
