Re: Shopping Cart Solutions

I had been doign interchange back when it first changed names to Interchange, I havent used it since it was aquired by Redhat, no particular reason just personal preference. Here is the link to FreeTrade. I believe the Restoration Hardware site started with this code, they have since gone bigger and better, but its a great starting place. This is will get you a site up and running, but this is pretty much framework. http://share.whichever.com/index.php?SCREEN=freetrade

Take it, adopt it and your set for the most of all things you want to achieve. There is a lill tutorial which guides you through the basics of interchange and leaves you with a skeletton but functional catalog after 3-4 hours of reading and typing. Installation is a bit tricky but I managed it though within a couple of hours of try and error. If you eventually pass that phase of learning you could do it easyliy again within 10 minutes. One thing left to mention: It´s Perl not PHP. But I´am on the issue to wrap it into a modul ...... ;) Stephan "Didier McGillis" <codesmoker@hotmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:<BAY7-F488FCDkKDSA7y00016158@hotmail.com>... As everyone has said osCommerce is a good cart program, but if you need a serious customized solution then you are going to need to either spend your time foucsing on that app and get into it, or your going to want to find something a little less polished and more just foundation, not saying osCommerce doesnt have a good foundation, its just that its more of a finished and therefore has a more defined set of rules to work with it. FreeTrade is a good app, they have moved several times you'll have to google it. PHPShop I never really liked, more of a personal decision.

Anyone have suggestions for open source shopping cart apps in PHP? Thanks, Charles
