CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello,

We are seriously considering using this solution for our International Car Club Organization.  We are very please with the flexibility, but have some questions.

Has anyone used CiviCRM and VirtuMart on the same web site built on Joomla CMS?  We need some sort of store solution, but see that CiviCRM doesn't (currently) offer one natively.


Thank you for your help,

Curtis

Hello,


Thank you for your reply.  I reading that thread, it would seem it mentions someone already using Joomla and VirtueMart and looking into adding CiviCRM, but not getting an answer as to whether it will work.

I briefly tooking at CiviCRM and VM, it would appear that no direct integration is being done.  In order to make the user's experience tolorable, we would have to use CiviCRM as the master data and sync the address and other user information over to VM.

Has anyone gone down this road yet?  Maybe a better question would be:  Does CiviCRM have plans to add it's own store extension?  Seems that, with the membership processor in place, it would be relatively easy to add a simple Store to CiviCRM that shares the Membership processors.


Thanks,

Curtis

But you can ask people who posted about it about their experience. :-)
