You’ve got all the mods. You’ve implemented all the hacks. Your osCommerce store is more tricked out than a magician on steroids.

Now you’re looking for the ultimate in geekyness. Something that you don’t really need but is so cool you just have to have it. The thing that will make your osCommerce buddies crumple to their knees and proclaim you as their new master.

Imagine if you osCommerce store could do this…

  • You call a telephone number and an automated response tells you how many pending orders you have and how much they are worth.
  • Whenever your store receives an order, your phone rings and an automated response tells you who it’s from and what they ordered.
  • Customers call your store, enter their order number, and an automated response tells them the status of their order.

Well my friends, imagine no longer. In the next few weeks OSCT (oscommerce-tips.com) is going to attempt to make this dream a reality. If successful, I’ll post a full article on how I did it.

To follow my progress, subscribe to OSCT via email or RSS.

  1. I like this new addition for automated phone assistant , however this means you need to add a pbx to the server where oscommerce is installed. Are you using asterix ?
    Ash
    Thanks

  2. Hi Ash,

    Yes I used Trixbox, which includes Asterix as the PBX server. I have two servers. One for Asterisk which runs on my home network, and then a hosted web server which runs osCommerce.

    You could install them both on the same box, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

  6. I have been a onlooker here for sometime now. I didnt want to post until I was able to give back just as I have recieved from here. During the hard time
    of the economy today I felt obligated to share with you how I have made it the past 6 months. Now I know this really has nothing to do with this site but as we all know
    we each need tomake money and survive ourselves. Furthermore I wanted to share a site with you that can easily help you as it has helped me. In the past 6 months
    I have been learning Internet Marketing techniques from using Blackhat and WhiteHat stratigies.

    With these techniques I have been able to quit my job and focus just my time to internet marketing and now am making arounf $400 a day. My goal in the next 2 months is to beable to make $1k a day.
    If it wasnt for this site http://www.InternetMarketersforum.com None of this would have happened. If your down and out and needing to make some online I suggest you check out this site.
    If you join the site then you will ba able to see many more private methods to making anything from $100 a day all the way up to $1000’s daily. It just takes a little work on your part but in the end these methods truly work

  11. Здравствуйте!
    ErDis.ru Сайт посвящен такой деликатной мужской теме, как мужская потенция и эрекция.
    Название сайта отражает медицинский термин – эректильная дисфункция (er dis)
    Как научно определяется этот термин?
    ЭРЕКТИЛЬНАЯ ДИСФУНКЦИЯ или ИМПОТЕНЦИЯ – это неспособность достигнуть эрекции
    или удержать ее на уровне, достаточном для совершения коитуса.
    Содержание сайта - дайджест статей для практикующих врачей и специалистов.
    Может быть полезен и для всех интересующихся этим вопросом.
    Надеемся информация сможет быть вам полезна.

    Не в тему, но я недавно посмотрела замечательный документальный релакс фильм “Вселенная глазами телескопа Хаббл”. На торрентах есть. Советую для поднятия настроения. Радует глаза. Честно.
