Works for me, such a funny bug issue.


We're using Drupal Commerce, it's been a fantastic replacement for Magento. It's not reinventing the wheel if you're contributing to a growing and community driven platform such as DC which, is a big improvement over Magento IMO.


I stand corrected!

I actually maintain a Drupal site which sells tickets and things through civiCRM. This Drupal Commerce could work well with that and give me an opportunity to find out 'the hard way' whether I can use it on other projects where I would think Magento.

Thanks for the tip and maybe see you on the Drupal Commerce forums at some time in the future!


How did you go?


Pretty cool, any chance they might end up on Github?


Yeah, I'll put it up on GitHub once I've had time to clean up the build process to separate the new code from the dependencies (which I've had to hack extensively). In the meantime here's a dump of the source: http://jamesfriend.com.au/pce-js/pcejs20131028.zip



Looks like a great service, maybe add a subscribe to your homepage for people who are having issues creating a workspace. I'll check back later. Great work though, looks very nice!


That's exactly what the article says no?


Dammit, I completely read the article wrong. Labs wasn't capitalized, so I didn't grok it correctly. Well, it saves you clicking on the article if you just came straight to the comments...


I'd love to hear others comment on how the Drupal community compares to other Open Source projects?

I've been involved in the Drupal community and it's run very well, the community in general are very patient and always willing to help new users get started.


But the women on the homepage is really selling it!


Seriously, Google walks a mile with this Joke. At once, I thought, they might have discovered something, but when I see no mention of any hardware support, well......


Thanks, I didn't know that existed. The whole concept needs way to many parties to get involved to make it a success so I can see why it never took off.


The main issue is collisions. For that reason alone it will probably never take off. I have a reasonably obscure name, and even mine is taken in that system.


I sure that is a problem we could solve. For example you could have name.familyname-[UNIQUENUMBER].com That would work as long as the unique numbers didn't get to big. If they were categorised by country it's unlikely it would be more than 5 digits.


Somehow I don't think people would enjoy being contacted at john.smith-19F3A.com.
