An open-source CodeIgniter based e-commerce app that I can contribute to? – Oscommerce

I’d like to get involved in open source projects to try and get rid of the n00b-hood which seems to cling to me like a gecko to flypaper.

It seems that there are no open source e-commerce solutions built on codeigniter – a search on Google, a search on Github, and a search on Stackoverflow all brought out 0 coherent results.

If anybody knows of such a project, please let me know, so I can start contributing my part to the development – that is the only way i’ll ever improve, and i’m sure any mentor would like a little help on their pet project…

Besides, I think Oscommerce (and any of it’s numerous cousins) seems a bit immature in it’s approach even to a non-ninja like me, and magento is totally undemocratic with it’s insistence of innoDB requirement and the impossible complexity of the code architecture.

    So far I have only found 2 e-commerce solutions that utilise codeigniter.

    1. Total Shop UK – Was announced in this thread
    2. Community Cart – recently updated to v2.01

    E-commerce in code-igniter has been talked about a lot. It baffles me why so few have developed apps in this area.

    My personal opinion is that there is definitely an opportunity to create a slick e-commerce app using code-igniter now that CI 2.0 is finally here!

    I would check out OpenCart – it’s not a codeigniter system but it is based on a MVC model and the source is very organized. You can control most of the templates, it has built in localization and multiple taxes etc..
