brentellis2 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Okay I know its been asked before, but does anyone have a dvd rental module? I have my site perfect except for I need a queue that is capable of changing rental order. Thanks Brent
lwseagull Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I am looking for something similar. I want to receive from a customer as well as ship. And maintain this information on the customer record. If nothing exists I might try writing one myself, but I am new to php.. I hadn't heard of it 2 months ago. If you find something let me know. I will do likewise. Liam.

tfortango Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 I am also looking for a rental module for a rental site. Any information, please let me know.
Guest Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 you have to spent some time for this. It's not simple as you have to create a process for a renting checkout similar to the regular checkout but simpler. And then you also need to setup the admin end to handle the rental titles. ie each request will generate something similar to an order. That's at least the bare minimum to have something functional. How much automation you want can really simplify or complicate things. You may have to setup cron-jobs for processing the rental queues, there are plenty of little details. The wishlist is a good starting point but it's nowhere near to fill the requirements even for the catalog end. Since your customers likely are going through different rental plans you need to alter the products related tables to handle purchases of specific products differently. The same approach applies if you say offered services and you wanted the client to be able to have a number of requests per registration. And to minimize this complexity is best to use the existing product tables and filter them for rental titles. Since your may want with your store to also sell dvds.
ozEworks Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 rental queues are more than a wishlist because what can be sent out is based on stock numbers and other people's rental queues. that is a complex algorithm. As far as I know there is a commerical oscommerce solution available. you'd need to google it. oscomerce dvd rental. should be #2.
