Questions about Aimeos

Hello,

This shop seems very impressive, very nice, thank you!

I have a few questions before using it please/

1)Is it open source/ free or do we have to buy anything down the line(no hidden features that require payment) ?

2)I could not see anything about theming, is there any other themes with it as I found the demo one a bit old colour wise.

3)Is this a true Laravel application? ie: I can create my own controllers, models and so on?

4)Can this run the latest Laravel 5.8?

5)Does this uses vue.js?

Thank you so much!

It's Open Source and free of charge. There are only a few extensions for B2B, market places and #gigacommerce:

Aimeos is fully themeable but only the default theme is publically available. Feel free to create your own one.

Aimeos uses Laravel controllers, the complete infrastructure and you can also use Blade templates. Laravel models are not used because they can't handle huge amounts of data in milliseconds. Aimeos cares about storing data itself in the Aimeos core composer package.

Yes

Yes, in the administration interface.

Thank you for the reply.
If you wish to edit a controller and some of the logic at the checkout for example, would you need to modify the cost files or is there another way around?

Thank you.

Not sure what you mean. You can overwrite, add or remove any functionality of any class in your own extension without touching the core libraries.

My apology, there was a typo in my last post, I meant "core files" and not "cost files".

ie: Usually when I use Laravel I have all my controllers in the app/http folder.

Imagine that there is a feature I do not like in this ecommerce but your core files are in the vendor/ folder.
How can I modify the logic of your code without touching the vendor files. This is what I meant sorry.

Thanks.

Create your own Laravel controller in ./app/http/, overwrite the original route - or create a new route and configure the route name in ./config/shop.php. You can use the Aimeos frontend controllers to get the data you need for custom features, e.g.

Code: Select all

use \Aimeos\Shop\Facades\Product;
$items = Product::uses(['text', 'media', 'price'])
    ->catetory(123)->text('sneaker')
    ->sort('name')->slice(0, 48)->search();

I just wanted to let you know that on your page here:
https://aimeos.org/docs/Laravel/Supported_versions

Is says that your ecommerce only supports up to Laravel 5.7

Thank you.
