History of CommerceResearch
We hope to add commerce to TikiPro in the near future, but definite plans have not been set in stone yet. for now, here are some possible webapps:
Open-source, php options:
^[http://www.oscommerce.com]
world class installer. up and running in seconds. mysql only. Many root execed files, and *all* have <html><head>... makes for very difficult theme and placing in a center column. - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.phpshop.org]
installed very easily. not bad looking. mysql only. under the covers there is a lot of mixed SQL and HTML output. Everything filters through a single index.php file, so output buffer capture is probably quite possible. Some concerning schema design choices like: category_id varchar(32) - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.fishcart.org]
I wrestled this installer for over and hour and finally gave up There demo looks decent, but nothing fancy. The unbearably complicated installer was ridiculous and I never got it working. - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://ezybiz.sf.net]
I installed this from the version wolffy shoved into tikipro's cvs. This is a "business sales chain management web application for sole traders to medium business, it is based on ossuite with many customisations." so it's not really a general purpose cart, but would be great as another option. Also seems mysql only at the moment - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^

(:razz:) Looks like we have a winner! postgres & mysql. decent templating. great installer. very nice package!!! - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.affero.org/]
PHP , PostgreSQL , and Smarty - seems to be combo of commerce and karma. could be very cool, however, the download seemed to have no installer? - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://qc.dotgeek.org/]
Quick Cart, based on flat files (:eek:) - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.ecommerceshoppingcartsoftware.org]
php, mysql seems to have been taken from bits of other apps. install sql failed from the tarball, and I just couldn't get motivated to get it working. - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
not test installed:
[http://php-multishop.com/] - fork / collision of PhpNuke and osCommerce. mysql only obviously - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
[http://www.cubecart.com/] mysql only Price: Free / $59.95 to remove copyright
[http://www.123tkshop.org/] mysql only
[http://www.pcnuke.com/] - fork cpg-nuke fork, has amazon support
