Anyone have a Virtuemart site up yet

I am currently working to integrate the following:
Joomla
Moodle
Virtuemart
Community Builder

My site is a simple online continuing education provider. Was wondering if anyone had something similar that I could take a look at and contribute or receive ideas from. Specifically:

1. Do you use the Community Buldier Login module?
2. Are courses listed/shown only in Virtuemart or in Moodle as well?
3. How does the course wrapper look with 3-4 programs working together?

Thanks for any direction.

Hi there,

A couple of questions / comments

2. Do you mean sell courses from VM and Moodle at the same time? Whether this was technically feasible or not, would this be confusing for users? IMO, the logical place for selling courses would depend on where your users would naturally / typically visit your site. So is Moodle your 'master' or is 'joomla'?

3. What do you mean by 3-4 programs? What programs? What do you mean by working together?

Hi Chris,

To elaborate:
1. I would not want to sell courses through Moodle, only Virtuemart(in order to offer paypal, cc payments, discounts, bundles, etc). Joomla is the master. So when a user finds a course he wants to take is it done by looking through the Virtuemart shopping cart and paying for it? Or is it browsed from the Moodle course listings and purchased with some sort of a "purchase course" button within the Moodle course description?

2. The programs I am speaking of are Moodle, Joomla, VM, and CB. Specifically, what does it look like to run Moodle inside of Joomla and have it look like a part of your Joomla site. Also, would I continue to use my CB login/authentication system? Or is that totally replaced by Joomdle? (the only reason I use CB is because I need to collect additional user data and I like the ease of registration it offers for my users)

Sorry for all of the questions. It just feels like a mountain of work to get my site from where it is to where I want it to be. It would be nice to see some working site that uses the same idea as what I am trying to achieve to help develop a plan.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi.

1. All options:
- Browse shop
- Browse moodle: if you try to enter in course, you get a customizable meesage to link to product page in shop
- Browse joomdle course listing: courses will offer a buy button, to link to shop

2- Moodle inside joomla: this is done by a wrapper. You can also have moodle outside of joomla (new window) and still have all joomdle features.

You still use whatever components/modules you use for registration: Joomdle can map info from CB profile to Moodle profile to have them synced.

As for a site: we are releasing a revamped demo with shop included soon, so stay tuned.

awesome. can't wait to see the new demo site.
