FoxyBack-MODx Status

FoxyBack was released as alpha software, and while it's been helpful to some, it's also confused many others. FoxyBack will not be developed any further (unless somebody really wants to take it over), but development on a similar FoxyCart order management solution is being worked on here: http://github.com/chucktrukk/Foxycart-XML-Order-Management/tree/master

if you really want to have at FoxyBack-MODx, please read the below, but keep in mind that it's alpha, it will take time and energy to get working, and unless somebody new wants to pick it up, it will not see future development, as this project has taken the baton for an open-source FoxyCart-friendly order management solution.

FoxyBack-MODx is Alpha Software!

It works, and we have it on a few live sites, but there are rough edges. If you don't know at least a little PHP you may want to wait until we get some documentation up.

A MODx backend for managing orders, built to integrate with FoxyCart. FoxyBack-MODx attempts to be as flexible as MODx itself.

JOIN THE GOOGLE GROUP to get updates. You should do this, as there may possibly be security issues and such that would need to be patching.

The Basic Idea of FoxyBack-MODx

Customer places an order on a site using the FoxyCart ecommerce system.

FoxyCart sends an encrypted XML datafeed to that site's FoxyBack url with information about the recent order.

The order is added into the FoxyBack database (currently using MySQL), including all addresses, transaction data and custom fields.

A customizable MODx web user is created for the customer to allow them to log into a limited interface to view their orders. Member management also possible. (Apply for membership, manually/automatically approve, add user to webuser group, send email notification, etc.)

Order information is sent to the order fulfillment system of your choice. (Code currently available for AtLastFulfillment and Smart Fulfillment.)

Customizable HTML email is sent to the customer when their order has been shipped, or on any other action.

Code coming soon!
