Hi there.

I'm looking to get a custom bit of code that I feel UC is a perfect baseline. Basically I have a drupal site where I would love to take "orders" for some of my videos. Here's what I'm looking for:

On the product browse page (e.g., http://livetest.ubercart.org/catalog/25/uberthreads)
- Have a thumbnail of each video
- Title of each video
- Date of each video
- A brief description
- and the TRT (Total running time)
- No Price at all, but still have the add to cart button.

On the product page (e.g., http://livetest.ubercart.org/node/6)
- Have an embedded video from YouTube, AOL Video, Google Video or others. I'd upload the video to one of those sites, then would need to post the following example code into a UC form/drupal form:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tKg5-asGRHY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tKg5-asGRHY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
- So, on the actual product page, this code would show an embedded video.
- There would also be the Title, some full description text, date, and TRT
- No Price or Weight or anything like that
- Would like a dropdown allowing the user to pick what format: DVD, VHS, etc.

In the Cart Block
- No price. Replace that with the format of the video.

On the Checkout Page (e.g., http://livetest.ubercart.org/cart/checkout)
- No price. Replace that with the format of the video.
- No billing section, calculate shipping costs, payment options, or even the Customer Service section.

The admin-side might need some tweaking as well. I'll have a co-worker go in, and print out the orders, then send the DVD or VHS tape to the orderee.

Anyone interested (and capable) to provide something like this? If interested, send me a PM containing a cost estimate based on above, and examples of work ASAP! We need to have this up and running by the end of the month!

Thanks!
MisterTC

most of the above stuff you can switch off in the admin store, the youtube issue can be installed into any node and i think the rest can be somehow handled with file download as product ...

So, you're looking to really just use Ubercart has a sort of free giveaway system, where folks would browse the catalog, add videos to a cart, and then give you their shipping address and you'd mail it out? Do you have thumbnails of the videos already, or would you want them auto-generated?

Ryan,

This project sounds like another potential application for the $0 payment method (in which users can checkout without a giving credit card number if their order total is $0 due to "free" products or coupons).

I know you said that this is more complicated to implement than it initially appeared (it was originally on the Alpha 7 and Alpha 8 battle plan list), but I'd still like to voice support for the inclusion of a $0 payment method in the upcoming Ubercart beta release.

Thanks!

Hope all is well,
Ben

was just looking around for this too! I add a vote to a free checkout system - we'd like to offer people the option to add free items to their cart mixed in with paid ones - but if all they choose is free items obviously we don't want any payment info from them.

If this is way down the list of priorities I'd be willing to make a donation to bump it up a bit.
