I've been reading all throught he forum... I've done lots of Google searches.... I've looked at VirtueMart ... not really quite what I want... Willing to look at good commercial software... Just want the best shopping cart system possible... Any suggestions? Cheers!
I`d say OsCommerce. It might require some simple php editing if you need one of thousands of contributions for just about anything. Zen-cart is pretty much the same but the plugins/addons you might want to add require no manual php editing, much more simple.
Thanks for the input and help everyone... I should have been more specific in my post though. I was looking for something that has a module for quick integration with Joomla... My programming / php skills are very limited and I'm behind on this project... Don't have the time to try to learn / figure out the configuration and integration... Normally, I'd have a programmer do this, so it wouldn't be a big problem... however I've had difficulties finding a suitalble programmer... Now being behind schedule don't really have the time or remaining funds allocated to get one.... I decided to go ahead and try using VirtueMart... now I'm having issues with it so I'm starting to get frustrated... sigh... Can't do anything with the products - get permission errors... Warning: unlink(/home/dir/public_html/dir/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/8716aefc3b0dce8870360604e6eb8744.jpg): Permission denied in /home/dir/public_html/jcom/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_main.php(275) : eval()'d code on line 2 Error: The following image update command failed: if( file_exists( "/home/dir/public_html/dir/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/8716aefc3b0dce8870360604e6eb8744.jpg" ) ) { $ret = unlink("/home/dir/public_html/dir/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/8716aefc3b0dce8870360604e6eb8744.jpg"); } else { $ret = true; }
Regarding your errors: make sure that the directories have the right permissions for the Apache user. In response to your original question, I use Virtuemart but I can definitely see why you would want to use osCommerce. There is a group that have done a 'port' of osCommerce to Joomla, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I just did a quick Google and found josCommerce at http://developer.joomla.org/sf/projects/joscommerce , but I'm not sure if that's the one that I was thinking of or not
Thank you kindly TwistMyArm. I believe I have now solved all the problems I had when I first posted this thread... Have fixed the errors.... I now have a programmer working with me. Thank you to all for your assistance - greatly appreciated. Cheers.
