Re: Got my copy of Textpattern Solutions today
It’s a good book, but I think it’s misleading to say “Create several different types of website easily, including e-commerce sites”. The section on e-commerce sites assumes you’re a php expert capable of integrating 3 party software into textpattern.

It doesn’t give code snippets, advices, plugin and the like to build it solely by using TXP? Sshh…

Cart and checkout pages are built using “wfCart”:htp://www.webforcecart.com. Like I said, overall I think this is a good book, but the e-commerce bit is there just to sell the book.

Re: Got my copy of Textpattern Solutions today
from Textpattern Solutions p. 17:
At the time of this writing, there is a fairly extensive calendar plugin in development by Team Textpattern. The process was started by Matthew Smith, a Philadelphia-based designer at Artiswork. He sought to fill a perceived gap in many CMSs—the capability to produce a navigable schedule of events for several months, years or decades…
By the time this book is on store shelves, the plugin will be completed…
Does anyone have additional information about this?

6sigma, that’s the zem_event plugin, I think.

Thanks, Ruud. That’s just the info I was needing. I’ll check it out.

Re: Got my copy of Textpattern Solutions today
I’m glad you guys are liking it. I’ll re-ask what Mary did, that if you enjoy it that you write a review on Amazon. Also, wanted to say that half of all the money I make from it will go right back to the TXP core development. I figure, if not for them, no book (still, it’s nice to have a little for myself).
Are we all figments of God’s imagination?

definitely agree. the e-commerce section was a let down. all it explained was how to make a regular website and then “oh by the way i just used a free shopping cart class and implemented it into my site.”
