I'm trying to use this chat system for Drupal to help my visitors.
https://drupal.org/project/drupalchat
I could manage to show it to visitors, but the problem is that visitors can see a list of all people on the chat including other visitors. I need they only see administrators to get help from. Also the title of the chat box is "chat", do you know how can I change it to something like :" support". As last question, do you know any alternative solution that be free? I saw one with voice and video!! But I couldn't find any free one.
DrupalChat module (https://drupal.org/project/drupalchat) now provides this functionality. You may use free plan of its cloud based commercial version in order to access this feature. Thanks.

I'm currently working on a site which provides information about local hotels and resturents.We have decide to integrate a external system which provide rating and comments.We though Google plus local is a good one to integrate
Ex : https://plus.google.com/112054268577917984776/about?hl=en
The issue was we could not find a widget for WP which provide a UI as the above link.
Appreciate if some one could explain the better approaches to achieve this.
I think you need to check Google Plus Apis section for this as they are still limited (really dont know if any plugin available for this feature or not)
Good link to follow, I think need to create plugin for that on your own or customize somewhat similar to your requirement Places
You can also check their Business Map APIs if its fit in your requirement.
I've been looking for the 'perfect' comment system for a wordpress blog I'm working on.
First, there is Disqus/intensedebate/etc... :
Pros: Easy to set up, somewhat customize-able (to a limit), removes load from your server, social.
Cons: Syncing with wordpress can sometimes be a problem, external bugs can ruin your comment flow, there's no fallback for javascript-less users, lots of embedded code.
Then, Wordpress native comments:
Pros: Deeply integrated with the blog, highly customize-able, saves the huge junk of javascript thats being embedded into your blog, easier to provide fallback options
Cons: Not native-ly social, ???
For me, Wordpress comments would seem like the best option.
The only problem is the social integration.
My questions is ;
what do I do with the data I receive by the users AFTER they log into a social network? (I already know how to create the login gate and get the required info back...)
I thought about simply saving their; email, name, picture (which you get from the social network) like what's being done when people comment without a social network...
The problem is I don't have any experience with the wordpress database and I have no idea where to start. Normally my best bet would be to use the wordpress codex but I couldn't find much there.
P.S; Please, no plugins!
There are amazing plugins out there but I love to learn to do stuff by myself.
If someone could just throw some useful links to me or theoretically what needs to be done, I'd be super thankful!
I was looking for the same 'solution', but couldn't find a proper answer (like 5 months ago). I recommend the Nextend series of plugins, Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Maybe you can look at the code inside this great plugins. Here's the Nextend Facebook Connect http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextend-facebook-connect/
For me is the 'cleanest and unintrusive' way of implementing a social connection for the comments in Wordpress, because you can handle the users as you wish, and the comments template works in the way you want to work.
You can look in here http://dfine.me/2012/11/500px-lanza-aplicacion-oficial-para-iphone/ to take a look to the implementation.
An article that maybe can help you a little http://www.tutorialstag.com/create-custom-wordpress-registration-page.html maybe with that you can write the 'Social Info' to the Wordpress db.
let me be clear first its not like i am trying to build a members area. There are hundreds of posts on that topic.
this is what i want to achieve.
1)a very basic website where registration is completely free and no credit card details or anything is required at that time.
2)a section in the website where a person can upload files (music created by the user or his band in my case).
3)everytime he wants to upload the music (a singe or an album), he pays using credit card or paypal and then has to pay every month until he mails us that he doesnt want t continue.
4) for an example head over to www.tunecore.com but with drupal obviously.
5)I am hoping to use drupal 7 as it is newer and will be supported for a longer period of time and as i have read many features come out of the box but drupal 6 is also acceptable if i can achieve the goals .
P.S. i tried searching for this(9 days * 11 hrs to be exact) but couldnt find anything thats why i am posting here.
the reason we are choosing drupal is that its completely free , highly customisable , very secure and best of all easy to manage so it will decrease our setup cost which as a startup we always look for.
i am looking for suggestions,modules, custom builds, tutorials, blog posts or basically anything to help me and my startup to achieve what we aim.
Thank you for your help
If you're going with Drupal 7, you should probably try Drupal Commerce.
As for what you're trying to achieve, you could probably look into Rules as well as user roles.
I have implemented Google Checkout sandbox for testing buy button which successfully allows user to place their orders. I want to add order of Google Checkout sandbox to my database by using asp.net.
Can anyone tell me how can I implement this scenario?
There are multiple interfaces to Google Checkout . By far the easiest is a buy now button, which is what it sounds like you've implemented. Now the limitation with that method is that it places one item into a cart at Google and that's the end of the interaction. So you need to process the order in the Merchant center. Nice and simple for small sites processing few orders. But doesn't sound like what you want. At the other end of the spectrum, you can do a custom cart using the html or xml interfaces. Using the xml interface, you have complete control of the order. Google will then do call backs on complete order to post the cart back to your site. Taken to the extreme, you can automate pretty much anything that could be done in the merchant center: canceling orders, issuing refunds, etc.
It's all a question of trading off integration effort with control. They offer a number of different integration patterns. There's a nice comparison on in the developer docs. But with the buy now buttons, I don't believe that anything ever comes back to your system, and it sounds like you want the order details back on your system/site. You may also want to take a look at Ways to integrate with Google Checkout and pick the integration pattern that makes the most sense for you.
I don't have ASP.Net code to hand you, but I'm sure it's doable and there are examples in the developer docs.
See this site for Checkout Client Libraries & Sample Code (including .NET and Classic ASP):

I want to build a website to allow users exchange clothes with each other.The website will be similar to an online auction site and a book exchange. This will be a point-based exchange community. The website allows users to
1) register for a private account
2) list items based on a specific, yet simple form that they can keep track of in their account
3) Rate items that they have received based on three simple criteria
4) Admin can add/delete products and also categorise them
5) Sizes labels etc can be assigned to products
6) Other users can upload their products/categorize them assign
7) users can perform faceted search on the products and filter by size, label etc..
One main point here is that there is no payment involved. I was thinking to use virtuemart over joomla for this kinda website and needed an opinion on how tough would it be customize virtuemart/joomla to meet the requirements.
Can you please suggest some other architecture if you think that the above arechitecture is not feasible to build this sorta website? Magento is not an option.
Thanks.
Surely people need be able to exchange items? From taking a quick look at your specification, I don't think your list covers all of the required functionality.
While cash payment isn't required, it sounds like payment might be involved because your site is a 'point-based exchange community'. I think this might actually make the task of creating your site slightly more complicated because there's less chance of using pre-written modules (most e-commerce CMSs are geared towards cash payments).
I'd suggest you look at an ecommerce system called Ubercart (which is based on Drupal). This can be customised reasonably easily by writing modules which plug-in to the main CMS. There's also a very supportive developer community. To work out the feasibility of using Ubercart, I'd recommend posting your question on the Ubercart forum (www.ubercart.org).
