[Adrian Stein]

Hi guys,

Short week due to Queen's birthday or whatever it was, and I am a bit disorganised. I propose we skip this month's meeting unless anyone has any objections. We'll also be looking for topics next month if anyone has been working on anything they'd like to share.

Adrian

Next week sounds good. 

I have had some success with Advanced Custom Fields plugin in WP, can discuss!

[Adrian Stein]

That sounds pretty good, we should do a session on Wordpress.

I need an ecommerce solution for wp.

I'm not a big fan of ecommerce in Wordpress - it all tends to be a bit flaky - but I've used both Shopp and WP Ecommerce and they're both OK. The latter I think was slightly better.

[Stephen Neate]

For something out of the box, have you looked at http://www.opencart.com/ recently ?  If your client does need ecommerce (not just for 10 products for sale) on top of a few hundred articles then yeah OC is the wrong tool, but if its for the reverse (a few articles / pages and many products) then WP may not be the right tool.

From a product management point of view it does everything a client wants, all user documentation is online, and the install is very easy (no offence Magento).  Also with the multitude of payment gateways available and free/commercial extensions you should be able to get what you need.

Customising themes on it aren't too hard, and its easy to purchase one, drop it in, then amend if you are after speedy delivery.    

At least then you only have to worry about page content, design and SEO and can forget about all the ecommerce nuances.  

Cheers,
Stephen

If tonight is still happening I wont be there.. Next time for sure. WP mashup

[Adrian Stein]

No, we are going to skip this month and come back in November with a bit more fighting spirit. Still fighting off a nasty bug - can't drink beer so what's the point?

[Wayne McFetridge]

heya

are we on next Tuesday ? Its Melb Cup -- thats all

[Adrian Stein]

Ah - that totally was not on my radar. Thanks for the heads up. 

I think it's best if we postpone until the following week to allow all those office parties to take their toll. Let's do 13th of November (the following week) instead - Wordpress smackdown. 

[Luc Baissac]

Sweetness. Book me in
