Displaying the shopping cart within OpenCMS

[michaelwechner]

Hi

I have read the OpenCMS module documentation

http://www.konakart.com/opencms.php

and

http://www.konakart.com/documents/KonaKart_OpenCms.pdf

but IIUC the module does not provide a way to display the shopping cart within an
OpenCMS screen or did I miss something?

The only possibility I currently could imagine is acting the CMS as reverse proxy, because AFAIK one cannot
share the session between the two separate webapps of OpenCMS and KonaKart frontend.

Any ideas and pointers are very much appreciated.

Thanks

Michael

I guess another possibility is using an iframe in order to display the KonaKart shopping cart content, but I'd rather not want to use iframes for various reasons ;-)

Thanks

One of our partners http://www.tfsla.com/ has created a tight integration with OpenCMS . See the blog post http://blog.tfsla.com/ . Since they are OpenCMS experts I suggest you contact them since they should be able to give you some hints.

Our OpenCMS module shows examples of how to use the KonaKart web service APIs. All you need to be able to do at the OpenCMS end is to save some state such as the KonaKart session Id or basketId which are ids returned by the API after logging in or adding a product to the cart.

Thanks for this pointer.
