Hello from Intrinsic :) Hi All!
I've been working on my hobby/biz project vjfx.com selling realtime video fx plugins and some of my artworks. I'm pretty new to oscommerce/oscmax as of this year, but been programming for something like 28 years, assembler/tp/c++/java/shockwave/flash/php/++, yeah I'm old :P
I'm running OscMax integrated with Joomla, using JFusion - JFusion.org - Joomla Universal User Integration a tip: use "oscommerce 2.x", not "oscmax" in jFusion in Joomla (as of writing moment), only "oscommerce" seemed to work in plugin config. It's not perfect but semi-working with OscMax as master since the other way around was a pain (with lots of joomla plugins too).
Well it turned out ok'ish? you tell me. ..mad hours spent on all sorts of tweaks, almost all custom templates and onepage checkout, ++, it's a mess be warned, specially the .CSS (might be different in a couple years hopefully!) ..but atleast there IS some OscMax left in it! And I must say; good job guys, I like OscMax, and I am happy to see it progress
I am not getting rich on this biz, a lot of goodwill and efforts and hopefully it gets more viable so I can pay the bills in the end, mostly it is about the love not the moneyBut if/when I make more from it, I'll be sure to donate due to the OscMax project too!
Lately I've been on the lookout for a good video integration, a friend suggested to use html5/h264, as I am selling my videofx plugin packs, and also plan to sell more from other vendors, both videopacks and clips, ++. I got betatesters nearing a "go" for a release and someone helping out with making new sampleclips too (pre/post), and I wanted to make a grid with a demoreel from each pack, instead of just stills! so, if anyone got any tip(s) they're very welcome.
Another (dubious?) tip: If you are pulling your hair bco shipping & handling or lose customers bco shipping expenses, a solution might be just to skip it all, as freeshipper == less to worry about, just have to bake the shipping expenses into the product price (an average will even it out?), maybe not the best in your situation, but it was what I ended up doing. And also, for the onepagecheckout issues I've had, a solid zonefile fixed things, don't remember the link, I bet 2.5 will be good, I will check more things out when I got more time, great work guys!
Cheers,
