Handle coupons and payments for custom products - joomla-extensions

I have an existing 1.5 Joomla site that uses solidcart by Joozen. It basically integrates zencart inside Joomla. Solidcart is no longer supported and stuck at the 1.5 version. I am working to launch a 3.0 website but I need to be able to integrate checkout for my products. The product selection is customized so I do not want to use a normal shopping cart. I need to be able to build my own product selection page along with it's options. What would be great is if I had something that had built in coupon creation and management that integrated with the checkout and payment process under a Joomla login. I looked through extensions but could not find anything that seemed would meet that. Any ideas from anyone?

I am getting page not found on my hybris newly created b2b website using hybris cms cockpit

I have newly created a b2b accelerator website and included catalog, catalog version, category and products, personalization etc. when I am trying to live edit staged version adding home page into it then it is redirecting me to login prompt and if I login then the page not found message showing. I am new at hybris. I don't know what could be reason of prompting login while attempting to live edit. Even using smartedit editing also has the same manner.
I would be very grateful if anybody can help me regrading this issue. I didn't find any tutorial how to customize b2b accelerator website making configuration.
When you see a generic hybris "page not found message" the url you called will most probably not be registered in your storefront. When you open your cms site in hmc/backoffice there is an attribute called "URL pattern". This attribute holds a list of strings, which are regular expressions. Every request you fire against the storefront has to match at least one of those regular expressions. That way, you can have more than one site on one hybris server.
E.g. there are the sites electronics, apparel, powertools, all available on the same machine but using different urls: http://electronics.local:9001/, http://apparel.local:9001/ and so on.

Integrating html templates in Kentico 10

I am using Kentico portal to make an E-commerce site.If I wish to change the design of available sample E-commerce site.Would it be a tidious task ?
Example : If I download e-commerce design templates (i.e html and css files) and I wish to change design of each page of sample kentico site (home page,product detail page etc.)then, what is the most suitable and quick way to achieve this ?
How should I update the html/css of each page of available site with downloaded templates? OR Should I create entirely a new e-commerce site in the portal ?
The out of the box sites are meant to be used as examples and references not to build a production site off of. The markup used on the Ecommerce site will also be different, considerably different than your purchased template. I've found it much easier and faster to start from scratch with a blank site and implement all of the design that way. Make sure you take advantage of shared layouts and templates, this will help make development and re-skins in the future easier.

Bitrix Tasks report

I would like to pull the report of tasks with start date, end date, status of the tasks created in Bitrix of all users.
I have administrative access of Bitrix in self hosted version.
How can I get this?
It was not clear from your question whether your question is about Bitrix Site Manager CMS or Bitrix24 Collaboration Platform.
If you mean Bitrix Site Manager, you probably mean Tasks 2.0. There is no information available on It in English, but you can visit the page https://www.1c-bitrix.ru/products/intranet/features/tasks.php#tab-report-link that describes on how to make reports on tasks, and translate it automatically, for example via the Google Chrome Browser.
If you use the settings that come by default in bitrix, it generates a report but does not show all the information you want, some working time fields would be missing.
what you need is to create a new page in bitrix and using the bitrix api create a task report.

Liferay or GateIn

Now our team is facing new project - creation of new company's intranet portal. Because of some reasons we are considering java open source portals and deciding between Liferay and GateIn.
One of very important requirements is following: portal representation for users must depend on country/language settings of customer computer, it means not only portlets localization but users in US subsidiaries of the company should see probably other structure than users in France.
Is it possible to implement the requirement in Liferay and GateIn?.
This can definitely be achieved through Liferay. Please have a look at the concepts of creating organisations.
Am not sure if this can be done in GateIn. However, there are many other things that you may need to keep in mind before choosing these Portals. I have tried to mention few of them here.
1. Check the stability of the Portal server that you will choose to run on a particular Container. GateIn initially was unstable.
2. You may have to override few files (for your customization) if required. GateIn uses GTMPL view technology for the same. Check how good are you in this. In this case, Liferay is easier (Liferay doesn't use any GTMPL UI framework)
3. Apart from developing a location based Portal, if you are also trying to achieve other things like fully Ajax based pages, a good UI framework (like JSF) etc then check if the Portal server you are choosing runs on a particular Container which supports Ajax, JSF (latest versions)
Above were few and list may grow. But, to conclude I would suggest to go for Liferay :)
This can be achieved with Gatein at different level :
Sites : you can declare multiple sites running on the same portal instance(sharing same User Base). In this case you can automatically redirect user to different country sites, based on the country/language of the user.
Sites Navigations : Gatein provides portal, group and user navigations. Navigation is created dynamically when a user connects to the portal. You can have only websites, navigation will created dynamically by user (based on group and user permissions).
Pages (Dynamics layout rendering): GateIn renders each page dynamically. A page is composed of multiple containers that contains portlets or gadgets.
By setting permissions on each container and by using User Group or Membership of the connected user, it's possible to have different page layout.
Of course, you can also mixed these 3 approaches to build your portal.
Liferay is very buggy, and community is very bad. Unless you pay the support.
GateIn promises much, but still lacks functionality.
You may consider JBoss Juzu and Apache Struts to develop generic portlets in order to void any portal vendor lock-in.
Struts provides features of internationalization, localization, timezones achieve my project.
I make use of struts2-portlet plugin to achieve a reporting portlet running on multiple portals. Here is my sample: code.google.com/p/jasperrocks/wiki/Features
