			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.humblesoftware.com/flotr2/index">Flotr2</a> is a library for drawing <a href="http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/html5/">HTML5</a> charts and graphs. It can generate line graphs, bar charts, pie charts and bubble charts. These graphs and charts are generated using HTML5&#8242;s canvas and work across several desktop and mobile browsers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.humblesoftware.com/flotr2/index"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2519" title="flotr2" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/flotr2.png" alt="" width="543" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>Flotr2 is a fork of the Flotr project without the Prototype library dependency and includes some extra enhancements. It doesn’t rely on any external library and its built-in framework has a great API that you can leverage to build new graph types. Once you provide the data points, the application will automatically calibrate the scale of your axes. Graphs can be zoomed and downloaded as PNG or JPG images.</p>

Also commonly referred to as tooltips, these in-line boxes provide a great way to return relevant information all the while keeping your visitors on the same page. They can be really handy when displaying people&#8217;s bio information, book author and pricing details, or loading other contextual information on-the-fly.</p>

The most recent version has built-in Twitter and Facebook hovercards functionality whereby which recent Tweets or Facebook account details for a person or group are fetched and rendered in the hovercard automatically.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.joomla.org/">Joomla!</a>, one of the most popular PHP-based open source content management system (<a href="http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/content-management/">CMS</a>) went through a major upgrade with their version 2.5 release. Along with the new features such as advanced search and automatic notification of Joomla core and extension updates, the Joomla! CMS now also supports MS SQL server as database. Previous versions of Joomla were compatible exclusively with MySQL databases.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2504" title="screens" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/screens1.png" alt="" width="557" height="351" /></p>
<p>Joomla!&#8217;s search engine feature now handles better natural language search and auto-completion. The new automatic update mimics WordPress built-in notification and update system whereby which site administrators are notified of new updates for Joomla! as well as third party extensions they have installed. The updates can be performed right from the administrative control panel.</p>
<p>According to <a href="www.waterandstone.com/book/2011-open-source-cms-market-share-report">water&amp;stone&#8217;s 2011 CMS market share report</a>, Joomla ranks second, just behind WordPress in terms of overall weekly download. The overall adoption rate of Joomla has also increased significantly since August 2011 when the community released version 1.7 that expanded Joomla!’s functionality to handle more than just web content.</p>

It supports all the features you’re already accustomed with on Twitter and also includes a lot of extra functionalities aimed at enterprise-level microblogging.

<p><strong>PeoplePods</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://peoplepods.net/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2469" title="peoplepods" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/peoplepods.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="200" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now, you probably understand and value the importance of social media as a catalyst for driving more traffic and engagement to your site. <a href="www.hotscripts.com/blog/facebook-twitter-website-integrations/">Integrating social media on your site</a> takes only a few minutes — most social networking sites provide snippets of HTML or JavaScript code that you can simply copy and paste to your template file(s). One thing I find frustrating about these sharing buttons is that they all sport a different size and style, so customizing them to match the theme of your site or positioning them properly is such a pain.</p>
<p>Luckily, there&#8217;s now a sleek, lightweight, and feature-rich plugin called <a href="http://sharrre.com">Sharrre</a> that ends this frustration. Sharrre is a <a href="www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/javascript/javascript-frameworks/jquery-plugins/">jQuery plugin</a> that allows you to create and personalize uniform sharing widgets for popular social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn and more. All Sharrre&#8217;s buttons are similar in size and design style and use API to fetch real-time sharing counts across different social networking sites.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2460" title="sharre-screen" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/sharre-screen.png" alt="" width="484" height="354" /></p>
<p>The script comes with different pre-built styles and also includes a total sharing count aggregation feature. Sharrre also includes support for Google Analytics social tracking and works across most popular browsers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nadlabs.co.uk/seemelikeme_download.php" target="_blank">SeeMeLikeMe</a> is a free <a href="http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/" target="_blank">PHP</a> and <a href="http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/javascript/" target="_blank">JavaScript</a> user voting system inspired by YouTube&#8217;s “I like/dislike this” buttons. Once installed and configured, it can be applied to any page on your site to offer two buttons for users to cast their like or dislike votes. The script uses AJAX to provide an on-the-fly vote count update.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2452" title="Picture 1" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Picture-1.png" alt="" width="558" height="90" /></p>
<p>Along with the voting buttons, SeeMeLikeMe also comes with “insight” data collection and analytics. The insight data displays referring URLs and will plot a graph that shows traffic over time. It also includes a geographic map that allows you to pinpoint where most traffic originates.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2453" title="Picture 2" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Picture-2.png" alt="" width="450" height="304" /></p>
<p>The script is smart enough to limit voting to one vote per visitor based on their IP address. All voting and referral information is stored in a mySQL database. The only limitation is that at this point, there&#8217;s no interface to manage voting, but it’s unlikely you’ll need this.</p>
<p>You can find similar rating and voting scripts in our <a href="www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/polls-voting/" target="_blank">PHP Polls &amp; Voting</a> category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The foundation of a successful ecommerce website lies in choosing the right shopping cart solution.

<p>Since its first beta release, <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/" target="_blank">Magento</a>, a PHP ecommerce platform, has evolved significantly. Now used by over 90,000 merchants to power their online stores, Magento’s success lies in its versatility, offering unrivaled cutting-edge features with different extensions. Its array of built-in marketing tools — like SEO-friendly URLs, A/B split testing, cross-selling, and email campaigns — help optimize and increase online sales. Magento is backed by an expanding community of developers offering free support through an online forum.</p>
<h2 id="toc-2-asp-net--nopcommerce"><a style="color: #157A43;" title="nopCommerce" href="http://www.nopcommerce.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">2. ASP.NET – nopCommerce</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nopcommerce.com/default.aspx"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2382" title="nopcommerce" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/nopcommerce.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>As a fully customizable ASP.NET and MS SQL-based ecommerce solution, <a href="http://www.nopcommerce.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">nopCommerce</a> is maintained by a vibrant community of developers passionate about developing a robust ecommerce application. It has everything you need to help you get started selling physical or digital goods. One key feature is its pluggable modular/layered architecture that lets additional functionality and presentation elements to be dynamically added to the application at run-time. The pluggable modularized architecture makes it easy to create and manage websites. A lot of SEO effort went into this product.

<h2 id="toc-3-ruby-on-rails--spree"><a style="color: #157A43;" title="spree" href="http://spreecommerce.com/" target="_blank">3. RUBY ON RAILS — Spree</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://spreecommerce.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2384" title="spree" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/spree.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>With a Ruby on Rails ecommerce platform, <a href="http://spreecommerce.com/" target="_blank">Spree</a> combines Ruby-powered performance to provide a simple and highly scalable solution. Its powerful extension system makes it easy to customize the application to suit your exact business needs, applying custom logic to your checkout, shipping, or payment processes. It also has tight integration with Google Analytics ecommerce tracking and supports SEO-friendly URLs laid out to provide multiple entries to the same product page (helps with internal linking). Spree’s forte is in its API, offering a secure way to modify orders, shipment, and product data via third-party services and software (CRM, QuickBooks, iPhone applications).</p>
<h2 id="toc-4-javascript--simplecartjs"><a style="color: #157A43;" title="SimpleCartJS" href="http://simplecartjs.com/" target="_blank">4. JAVASCRIPT — SimpleCartJS</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://simplecartjs.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2383" title="simplecart" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/simplecart.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>A lightweight JavaScript shopping cart, <a href="http://simplecartjs.com/" target="_blank">SimpleCartJS</a> impresses more with each new version. You can set up an ecommerce checkout in a few minutes, with no database or programming knowledge (just some HTML/CSS skills for skinning). Unfortunately, there is no backend for inventory management, and it only works with PayPal and Google Checkout. But if you’re looking for an easy-to-set-up checkout for a landing page with a simple and uncluttered interface, it may be perfect.</p>
<h2 id="toc-5-java--konakart"><a style="color: #157A43;" title="KonaKart" href="http://www.konakart.com/" target="_blank">5. JAVA — KonaKart</a></h2>

<p><a href="http://www.konakart.com/" target="_blank">KonaKart</a> may be a good choice if you need a Java-based ecommerce solution. It can provide a powerful solution that should cover most, if not all of your requirements, delivering unparalleled price / performance. It has a rich feature set to provide your customers with all of the information and functionality that they require in order to shop at your online store. The only downside is that, realistically speaking, it will require some JSP/Java development and deployment knowledge to bring a store into production.</p>
