Opensource Shopping Cart Software
Opensource Shopping Cart Software
Such is the power of open-source that even the White House website has acknowledged it and made a switch to Drupal, a popular open-source CMS to manage websites. Even social media scripts are being designed on the open-source platform so as to launch powerful social media campaigns through social media websites.
So what exactly is open-source? It is nothing but a simple approach towards designing, development and distribution of software along with its source code and making it open for public for further development and maintenance. One can build upon a social networking script using a free to use open-source platform such as Drupal.
Drupal has gained prominence as an ace open-source technology and many tech companies are designing services such as Social Networking using the social networking scripts designed on the open-source platform.
One can easily create a social media script using Drupal, which according to my experience of using various open-source is the most robust technology which is constantly re-inventing itself with every newer release. Many popular websites on the internet have deployed Drupal and are benefiting from the fantastic functionalities that their Drupal-powered websites are delivering now.
The Following modules can come in handy in implementing a social networking script:
• Activity (Tracks activities which people do on your
social networking site. Eg. Jim is Louis’s latest fan)
• Appbar (A toolbar at the bottom of the window with links and AJAX-driven notifications just like Facebook)
• Invite (helps in sending and tracking invitations which are an important element on building upon a network)
• Comment Notify (a utility to alert viewers and notify them of areas where comments were left after their interactions)
• Content Construction Kit (cck lets you make any type of content allowing you to add custom fields to nodes using a web browser)
• Private Message (Enables messaging from user-to-user)
• FlagFriend
• NodeProfiles
• Event
• Friendlist
