drupal-magento I've been testing out the recent release of a Drupal module created by Adyax that allows for a 3rd party ecommerce system called Magento to be fully integrated into Drupal. But was it really a full integration?

One of the reason why i was excited to try this out is because at my previous job we were using Magento almost exclusively to build online shops because it was fully featured to run any type of online store. Even better, it allows for multiple stores from one installation without the need for a multi-site setup. Magento has certainly been one of the most exciting open source ecommerce application to hit the Internet last year causing a huge buzz and interest. Now with over a million downloads and top brand names using it, it's certainly is living up to its expectations. read more »
