A couple Italians working on a WAI compatible fork of osCommerce and Zen-Cart

I just came across Facil-e-commerce website. It is an initiative from 2 italians to make a Web Accessibility WAI compliant open source cart. They started of on Zen-Cart, but then decided to go (back) for osCommerce because of the bigger community and available contributions.
You can try out and download both versions from their site.

Is there anyone that has experience with these forks ?

NING Free vs Premium Services

NING Premium Services



"No pain - no gain" principle.
This site is setup on the ning infrastructure, nothing paid. Ning hopes to get enough money out of the google ads, or by selling the premium services.

At this point I don't see any reason to pay for any of the premium services, I can only see a possibility in the future that if this site becomes hugely succesfull there would be so much traffic that traffic units will need to be bought. I guess at that t… Continue

Waiting on a friend or two

Just started this site, and feeling lonely, I'm waiting on a friend or two to join the party ;)

Hi Carine,

So I'm finally learning php and have been making great progress with the coding I needed to do. :)
My biggest problem though is getting the spacing on objects to appear exactly how I want it to.

Do you have any advise for a php newbie?

Very cool. I'll consider the list.

Anything really worthwile helping you technically with the setup on an oscommerce site, you have to pay for I'm afraid. I'd get these 2 books, they have pdf and full cover
1) Building Online Stores with osCommerce: Professional Edition by David Mercer
http://www.packtpub.com/professional-oscommerce/book
2) Deep inside osCommerce: the cookbook by Monika Mathe
http://www.packtpub.com/inside-oscommerce/book
So if you order book and ebook, you can get the ebooks immediately and the hardcopy in a few days.

If you are looking for user admin documentation, there are a number of movie files on the DemoDemo site:
http://www.demodemo.com/tutorials_osc.html

On http://www.oscbooks.com/ you have some shorter ebooks on specific topics. This is what I used to get started.

I have also bought copies of the oscommerce manuals written by Terry Watson, but the electronic ebook format really annoyed me. That was in early 2004, it could have changed since then.
http://www.oscommercemanuals.com/

and evidently there is the http://www.oscommerce.info knowledgebase, but sadly enough it is not for the version that you currently can download. Luckily, on the osC Answers forum, a pdf download with the 2.2 contents has been posted:
http://forums.oscanswers.com/index.php?showtopic=4
along with a quick install guide:
http://forums.oscanswers.com/index.php?showtopic=3

Hope this helps you to get started.

Carine do you have any basic tutorials or e books that you could forward to me regarding OSCommerce. I need to learn about it before I can move forward. danauito@tampabay.rr.com Thank you so much in advance for any helpful information you can provide.

If you want to visit Florida USA I can provide you your own guest house for a free stay!
