itguyRich Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Can cubecart be used with Joomla? Is there a plugin or does a sub-directory need to be created and installed there? If there is a plugin will it use the installed template with little to no CSS editing?Thanks for your inputRich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I once ran Joomla (about five years ago) for about five weeks. It wasn't the solution I was looking for at the time (eventually went with MediaWiki).CubeCart is self-contained and expects to be self-contained, so it is best to run it in a sub-folder.By self-contained, there are two key files: index.php and admin.php. 99% of everything CubeCart executes is managed by these two files. There are too many places where CubeCart will tell the browser to 302 Redirect to the "implied" URL -- a URL that does not specifically include the index.php part, but instead relies on the web server's 'default document' setting. Thus, there is little to be gained by finding all such occurrences and recoding CubeCart to use a file other than index.php (although, this is exactly the case with admin.php).One can design a skin to match whatever theme one wants CubeCart to look like. But the task is not one for someone with too little free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that is possible but just needs changes to Joomla and CubeCart installing in a sub-directory. We dont use Joomla but very often do this type of integration using WordPress which can be done in one of two ways1) Have WordPress installed in root and develop a frontend website with a link to the CubeCart store installed in a sub-directory. A WordPress these can be designed along with the CubeCart skin so they look the same2) Install CubeCart at the root directory and WordPress in a /blog sub-directory - mainly used this way to provide simple blog functionality for a store. This is the most common integration method we do and again skin and theme can be developed to matchIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
