Don't have time to review this personally, but I will share a quick thought... unbelievable! I'm highly impressed and wish you the best of luck on this project. Lots of folks have asked about just this sort of functionality, and it sounds like you've done quite a comprehensive job. I would encourage you to make a separate post that catalogs as much of the shortcomings in the core access control as possible so we can improve this in D6 and beyond. That would rock!

On that note... I'd recommend making this a project on Drupal.org ASAP so folks can more effectively give you feedback. A project the size will quickly become unwieldy in a single forum thread. You can also make a contrib page here that links directly to your project page on Drupal.org so folks can find the project easier.

Ubercart Marketplace is now a project at drupal.org.

Please check it out there for the latest code and to report bug reports or feature requests:
http://drupal.org/project/ubercart_marketplace

While there is no direct way to remove it, you can choose a configuration like the following to get the same result.

Turn on "Automatically calculate commission" at admin/store/settings/seller. Also, set the Default Commission Rate to 1. This will in effect make the amount the seller should be paid equal to the sell price. This will hide the seller commission field and fill it with an appropriate amount.

I apologize for your troubles. Unfortunately, I have not found time to write better documentation and Marketplace is still currently in BETA (although stable) state and therefore geared towards developers.

Depending on your editor, your line numbers may differ (that is why I wrote ~ approximate symbol by them).

At the very end of this function:

place module_invoke_all('package', 'save', $package->package_id);

like so

Do similar for uc_shipping_package_delete() in uc_shipping.module

I didnt notice it before. But I tried to create the home page link as user/% so users would be directed to there own profile.
But insted i get sent to this random page with files and orders headers tabs. nothing else on the page except user profile.
Anyone else got anything like this.

Thanks Jordan. I am always looking for community input and modifications to improve Marketplace. I look forward to seeing what you accomplish.

Thank you for your compliments of Marketplace. I worked hard to bring such power to the already great Ubercart. The patch you found for Ubercart should help you out. Good luck.

If I remember, that is a simple view with an argument to check the uid of the user's profile from url. Being a view, you could add a product image and in fact that's not a bad idea.

Marketplace will be updated to D6. When? I am not sure when I will get time at the moment. I am open to assistance.

Thanks. I actually just committed such a fix a day ago to BETA5 (along with a few other minor fixes). The hook is a new one provided by Marketplace for a potential use by modules extending its functionality.

I noticed that Rifftrax was updated. Nice new look! I will sign up and check it out in more depth and share my feedback. I can't wait.

I believe I caught the error when I did the very recent update to BETA5 (which fixes a few of the other bugs floating around too). The query in discussion should check if the node type is in the array of product classes and not just product.

Thanks.

Marketplace is amazing. Thank you so much for it!

As I less-than-impressively revealed in another thread, I'm having trouble getting it to work with Product Kits.

If I try creating a Product Kit, I get a "Commission must be greater than zero." error - unless I have a sitewide base price set, then I get a "Sell price must be greater than or equal to sitewide base price of $XXX".

Should it work, and I have it misconfigured?
or
Is it not yet compatible with Product Kits?

Thanks!

I'm getting to the point where i need to deal with where the hell are my products going to ship from problem.

My marketplace project has Sellers & Manufacturers. Each Seller has it's own set of Manufacturers and I was doing this with a custom CCK type and node reference. Created a view for my node-reference, to only display the manufacturers for the current seller. Worked great, but doesn't help me with the where to ship from issue. My client requires I display where the product is shipping from and the shipping options directly on the product page....so I did some diggin' around.

Core-Ubercart uc_quote provides some hooks into a contrib module called uc_manufacturer to allow each product to ship directly from a particular manufacturer. Perfect!

Ubercart product page says this:

When delivering products to customers, the original location of the product must be known in order to accurately quote the shipping cost and set up a delivery. This form provides the default location for products, either individually or an entire manufacturer's line. If a product's individual pickup address is blank, Übercart looks for the manufacturer's. If that is also blank, it uses the store's default pickup address, which can be set here.

I ended up finding the http://drupal.org/project/uc_manufacturer project, which I had no idea existed.

Now the problem with uc_manufacturers is it doesn't use CCK node types for these manufacturers out of the box, although the developer of the module suggest for more advanced users, they might want to do this.

I've put most of my thought on what to do about this issue in this feature request for uc_manufacturers. I simply want to make both projects aware of each other.

http://www.ubercart.org/issue/7617/uc_manufacturers

I feel the integration of Marketplace with a slightly more robust implementation uc_manufacturers would make for a great implementation into Ubercart 3.x and would almost fully complete the multi-seller environment.

Discuss

I'll redirect you to Lyle for the full answer, but the short answer is yes.

Turgrid, I noticed on tazetta you have done EXACTLY...and I mean almost exactly what I need.

http://www.tazetta.com/taxonomy/term/12/2/1/0

You have the sort by desinger and sort by price high to low, etc...

I have custom views set up for my project...so using table view for sort is out.

It looks like you managed to expose sort criteria (views 1.x only allows exposed filters)

Exposed sort criteria is exactly what I'm looking to do. I was wondering how you went about that. Thanks!

I was going to use Views until I realized the limitation. What you are seeing for the taxonomy pages is custom sql I wrote for the purpose that makes use of the arguments passed by the url (which come from the Drupal form with sort methods). I don't see any other way to do it efficiently. I can dig up some of my snippets, but I have provided the general outline of how to do it. Let me know if you have troubles at a point and I will try to provide an example.

As far as I can tell from a quick venture into views-2.0, it doesn't support sorting either =(

Supposedly in view-1.0 you can sort when you're using a table output, but I haven't played around with this yet, nor do I want a table output (but I assume you could use a table view and then re-write the output with the theme engine to steal the sorting feature).

Sometimes things in Drupal are too round about though and you need to get "lazy" and do stuff for yourself instead of relying on modules for everything. I think views make me waste more time than they ever save me anyways.

@divinevette:

Well...the products your sellers create will be attached to their user accounts. You can use an existing Drupal modules like Node Profile to extend said users "Profile Pages"...then you can link to this new "Profile Page" from the product page.

That should get you moving. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@divinevette:

As far as I know, the buyers pay you and you dole out the cash to your vendors. I personally haven't played with this all that much, so I'm not 100% sure how it all works. Someone else can probably clarify better than I can, but I think you're going to have to write something custom for this.

I don't believe there is a way to do this. BUT! you can set the shipping address for each individual item.

So what I did was installed uc_addresses and then overwrite the default address (and create a selectable drop down) with the default uc_address for the "seller" of that item.

I don't believe market place can deal with this out of the box.

This is more of an advanced topic, but I'll give you the overview. It's going to require for you to do some custom programming and reading some documentation.

uc_addresses allows you to associate multiple addresses with any particular user. Sellers in uc_marketplace are "users", so we can use uc_addresses to store multiple addresses for your sellers.

When you create a product in Ubercart there's an area which allows you to enter a different address where that item will ship from instead of your stores default shipping address. I personally only pull in their default address from uc_addresses.

What I've done, is use hook_form_alter (see drupal api docs) to modify the product add/edit form (form_id product_node_form) to include the additional addresses associated with the user from uc_addresses into the shipping addresses drop down.

Here's the snippet

Can't confirm the code will work 100% because it's cut and paste, but should give you a general idea of the direction you should be heading.

I have setup Ubercart Marketplace to serve different Sellers who reside on my website.

I need help to get the below mentioned scenario working:

Each of the Seller can have their own PayPal account, and when the Buyer purchases any Seller's product and makes payment using PayPal, the amount must directly go to Seller's PayPal account without using the MassPay option.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Thank you j0rd for the code.
I got an error message when I enabled the module.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEFAULT in /sites/all/modules/myaddress/myaddress.module on line 28.

What's on line 28 is "default:".

Thank you for your reply.

I'm still getting the same error at line 29. "default:" is still causing an error.

Is this new code part of the module of the initial code that you posted above or I have to create a new module for it?

Thanks JORd. I already created a seperate module, I was asking if the second code you posted should be added to that same module. I kind of figure that out.

I will look for the missing brackets when I get home tonight. I appreciate the help.

Is anyone having success with the marketplace module for Ubercart 2x/Drupal 6x?
If so, can you share with us your issues/use-cases?

We are beginning implementation for a multi-seller site and would like to use Drupal 6x but are not sure if the Marketplace module is ready for production yet on that version.

If it's not ready for production, is there someone that wants to pitch in with us to donate some money to get this ready for production in the coming weeks? We would consider joining forces.

Thanks.

Thanks Turgrid for all your hard work!

I am using D6 and am bumping into some things with ubercart_marketplace...

I have a few questions that I haven't found an answer to yet. My apologies if these are lame...

1) How do I set up marketplace to where the site owner keeps the "commission" that is set on admin/store/settings/seller? So if set to 1%, once paypal mass pay is ran, sellers get paid all but 1%.

2) If a buyer wants to buy multiple products from multiple sellers, how does marketplace handle that?

3) I see in D6 marketplace module, seller can add their shipping address. Will this code support uc_addresses too? So when seller is filling out the product node, they will see their address from "user/*/selling/settings" and uc_addresses addresses?

4) Site owner would like to charge a flat fee per sale, instead of a percentage. Any plans to support this option in the near future?

5) For a specific role, no commission will be charged. Seller will be charged a monthly membership fee instead. Is this taken care of through "admin/store/settings/seller/commission"?

Thanks again for your module and continued support.
