This is HTML/PHP/CSS/SQL webdev stuff

There's no thread for webdev geeks on r3v.
How many of you are out there?

As a first discussion, I'm wondering what core you guys would use for a hosting reseller site.
I have in depth experience with osCom, oscMax, but I'm thinking I may go with Wordpress on this one. mainly because there's virtually no inventory, no more than a couple products, no shipping etc. I've done regular WP sites and a highly modded classified site, but I don't have experience with the WP store modules, integrating payment methods etc.

I like wordpress for how simple it is, but I like joomla for how complex/versatile it is. From reading what you're saying I would just go with wordpress.

As of now I am getting my ass kicked by mod_rewrite.... grrrrr

Do it for a living. I've been specializing in Wordpress for the last 7yrs so I'm a little biased, lol.

As far as eComm stuff I use WooCommerce for a plugin. Its easy to setup and style. Not to mention I have yet to have a client break it.

Try dropping this in the top of your .htaccess file.

#Fix Rewrite
Options -Multiviews
# Mod Rewrite
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Who is your hosting company?

Cool what did you guys build it out in?

Sounds beefy. I tried rolling my own around CodeIgniter but couldn't make it work proper.

Dayjob, sidejob to the dayjob, freelance, and new startups. I live in it.

I've been using it almost as long, we could totally g33k out together.

Only on occasion do I use it for eCommerce though. Do you use a PCI Compliant addition (the few out there I've been recently comparing enough to make someone go crazy) to Woo or let the payment processors do that?

You haven't had a client break an ecommerce site? That's impressive, clients will break anything if they have access in my experience even after proper training.

In most cases the processing goes to an offsite gateway via a payment extension, so that gateway handles the PCI-DDS Compliance and I dont have to worry about it (Sage Pay has the cheapest rates last I checked, if your client dosent have a processor yet). WooCommerce by itself isn't PCI-DDS compliant though.

Im stoked for the new 3.6 release. We finally get a proper self hosted audio and video support.

Right, Woo isn't by itself. There are some extensions out there that use their own PCI compliance before it reaches the gateway. Basically this just makes Woo itself more secure and the few options I've looked at charge nearly exactly what the payment gateway would charge for PCI compliance.

Ditto! WP has really come into it's own with everything past 3.0 IMO. Seeing as what it started as to where it is now is beyond impressive.

fuсk PCI, a lot.

I might as well get in here. My daily grind is building out SOAP/REST services in PHP.
