Simple poll to find out what you would pay for a iPhone version of CS-Cart for your store? based on the poll results we may possibly develop a iPhone template.

Voted.

I would suggest that a iphone skin with a design make no really sense, because then i have not CI design. It is possible to build a addon to get iphone (or even mobile) compatibility with the own still used skin?

[hostandname]

The Skin would need to a skin on its own, currently you will ofcourse be able to use the current site using the iPhone Safari Browser but when we build an iphone version skin it will know that the user is using the iphone and use the iphone based skin which can also be added to the iphone homescreen etc.... we are still working on the Architecture as this is going to be somewhat of a bigger job.

I'd put €200 towards this,

http refer for iphone, to a touch,

then do another template based with a touch theme

[racingsolution]

Thanks for the update

[simonv74]

Definitely interested in this!

Thought i would update everyone one on this - although we started the developed we have had a few big projects come in - however i have asked CS-Cart how much to build this addon and comes to like $2000 which i was shocked with but it is a big job - so i thought i would make this proposal

we can have this built which would be a big help to a lot of people would you be willing to make a donation of $100+ each person that makes a donation will get a free copy of the addon for the use on there site

once the target of $2000 is met, i will have cs-cart start the development and also manage and keep on their asses to get it perfect - we will also be doing all the iphone theme and doing on the specification etc....

anyone wanting to make a donation, give me a PM and ill give you paypal details and add you to the list to recieve the addon!

it should take around 2 weeks of development maybe a little more - but we will then finally have a nice iPhone version of the site!

[vanderex]

im in ..sending my 100$ right now..

[hostandname]

great news! at this rate we should have the addon done in no time! PM for the paypal address to send to - going to gather funds there to fire over to them!

[hostandname]

I just want to confirm that this addon will be made for version 2.1- just for those that are going to be donating to this addon!

This is just an example to show that a mobile skin can be loaded very easily:

$browser = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
if ($browser == iPhone)  {

.../path/to/mobile/skin/dir/

else

.../path/to/your/skin/dir/

}

Then all you need to do is copy/paste your skin directory and start ripping it apart and making it look good on the iPhone, iPod, iPad ect...

What if you don't have an iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc...? I have a Droid but I can view my site perfectly well just as it is.

You would just add another elseif statement like:

function DetectAndroid() {

if (uagent.search(deviceAndroid) > -1)

  .../path/to/mobile/skin/dir/

 else

 buy an iphone
}

All well and good, but as you know dude there is a lot of more work that just detecting the user agent and defining the skin - we are aiming to build this like the magento mobile version currently out - plus i later plan to roll out somem a small fee an iPhone app which we can put on itunes for users which will be configured and setup to use the mobile skin

I was a little shocked with the costings but i guess it has to be perfect

showing my ignorance but do people really buy stuff using a phone?
If so what items are the people selling that phone ordering is viable?

I do like sites on my iphone that use iphone template, as navigation is easier than normal template, but would always buy stuff from my pc.

Hello,

I have had 3-4 iPhones and have several times purchased items, i can bet that many people dont however but with 85 million iPhone / iTouch owners i am sure that a large majaority would use there handset to purchase items.

there are lots of big brands that get tones of orders through the iphone such as "The North Face", "Tescos", "eBay" to be honest there are so many companies that are doing this for all kinds of products just for the pure fact of the span of the market

Hope this helps!

[snorocket]

All well and good, but as you know dude...

I think this is a great idea, but considering the fact that this is #2 on the Ideas list I would expect that it's next in line to be done by CS, might want to save your money and wait it out.

We've already developed an E-Commerce Connector App and it is in beta testing right now, the price will be $400-600. We haven't decided if we will make it available through the app store and for now it can be installed through iTunes locally. Currently it will connect and manage the back-end of CS-Cart, X-Cart, Interspire, OS-Commerce, Zen-Cart, Pinnacle Cart and OpenCart. Connection to other platforms will be added later - Sno
