I'm stuck on the logic of implementing a cart system for my Application. I have tried using Sessions but I can't seem to make it work. Please any answer would be well appreciated. Thanks
I recommend you to get inspired in some open source projects that nail this specific task, or just use it, like django-carton which is a simple and lightweight application for shopping carts and wish lists.

I am new in django, I have achieved to built a simple website up running in my local sever, but now I have reached that part where I want to add some cool and nice looking graphs to my project, but I see many options that are not that simple, if I could choose, I would use some python-based library or something, but it needs to load very fast. I am looking for guidance and suggestions. Thank you in advance.
I am building an html5 site for someone and I am wondering what the best option would be for a shopping cart. I want something that will be integrated on the various pages, not just a separate area for a shop, although we may utilize that option also. She has used ZenCart on her other sites, but perhaps there is something better. I am not a developer so the simpler the better. There is a lot of merchandise to list. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
You can use OpenCart. Its easy to make websites using it.
zencart is easy to edit ,even in code level.
but opencart is more powerful than zencart,especially in marketing and image manager.
so ,I also recommend opencart.
I am new to Django, I don't know a lot of them.
I am trying to build a comment and rating system for a blog in Django. There are some apps that I can use to achieve this(Comment and Rating)?
Please let me know.
Best Regards,
At Eldarion, we've ended up building and using dialogos for all our comments on sites: https://github.com/eldarion/dialogos
And for ratings are extending agon: https://github.com/eldarion/agon
While agon was originally just about giving people points, it can also be used to give arbitrary objects points and this can be used for both voting and rating.
Both of these apps will have extensive use in the next release of Pinax.
The django.contrib.comments that comes with django works well, even if it is rather simplistic. Seems to be extendable for more elaborate needs, though.
ZEN Cart seems to be able to do anything I could possibly ever want, but seems a bit bloated (for me) and more importantly - it's design process seems unbearable. I don't want to have reform a default design, I have my website design completed other than the shopping cart related items. I want to be able to add them in, working the shopping cart into my site, rather than the other way around. I need a shopping cart that can handle discounts and inventories and such, and of course as small as possible. Can anyone help recommend an OS cart that will allow this?
Thank so much for your time and suggestions!!
You didn't ask for any platform/languages in particular, so.
If you're using Django, then Satchmo looks to be an attractive option. Even if you're not, it might be fairly trivial to mash in, depending on how your site is set up.
You could consider using the cart that Google Checkout provides — is a JS system , easily themed with CSS (if you can learn to accept the !important tag), but SimpleCartJs is as easy as it comes, and it's for PayPal. Re-styles easily and it's pretty elegant.
Any good cfml Shopping Cart app? Tried using one? What's your experience with it?
There are few carts listed in Arehart's list. Haven't tried any, so can't give advices.
I've used SiteSirector by QuillDesign before, and tried a few others. SiteDirector was the best I've seen. It's pretty easily extended and has a lot of features out of the box. I would recommend you take a look at it.
I have been using Cartweaver so far. It has been pretty good. If you are integrating it with an existing site you will have to merge the application cfm/cfc's which can get a bit hairy.
Cartweaver is well written otherwise though. I hope in future versions they will make the entire cart into cfc's, but it is a great value for the dollar.
My needs have allways required completly custom applications; however, this package has allways interested me: http://www.cfwebstore.com/
Great Price
Open Source Code
Good luck.
