RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Table reconstruction. Able Commerce

I figured that those would be the files. I just forgot how to find them. But I think I know what you are talking about. See Fusion should help me find those files.

As to the 8$ an hour or so for coding this would be an offshore project. I have some developers and project manager connections to help me describe and plan this project.

7K$ for this modification? I can’t even think about spending that kind of money right now. I don’t know what that kind of money looks like yet, hence the reason why I have to learn CF.

Cust data privacy I won’t give it to them. I can copy the DB and dump the content of that table. They only need access to product tables, and vendor spreadsheets. What can they do with that?

As it is now I think that Im going to add separate tables and just have the Able Products prices populated from the other tables that Able is not aware of. This seems the easiest way to keep Able from writing on top of important info during an upgrade. I think I FINALLY (bet you all are glad to hear that!) on the right path.

Thanks all for the direction and as I said above I am getting control of what it is I really need and the ability to define it. Wow what a leaning curve this has been so far!

Wow. Robert just in case you have not figured it out by now the pages that were causing the problems are most likely those that you posted on this list a week or so back. I can’t remember them now , but they were posted here. That should help you if this is still an issue.

As to the mention of several dollar an hour coders, you will get what you pay for there. And naturally you can offshore the development but you are not guaranteed a level of service or the privacy of your customer data etc.

I think Several hundred thousand dollars seems a bit much for the project you are speaking of, however I do not think that several thousand dollars would be out of the question. You have a fairly complex set of requirements, and you do not or did not have a full set of requirements. You need to fully document the requirements and how you expect the new application to interact with ablecommerce and then decide how that interaction should be developed.

Once this is done it might point you or a developer in the right direction. I see too often where I work now, that certain groups attempt to build a boat only to find out they needed something that could fly.

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Table reconstruction. Able Commerce

This is a new thread as a continuation from one a while back that is all revolving around the same issues I am having with trying to get the tables in Able Commerce moved around.

http://forums.topsites.com/viewtopic.php?t=3623

will catch you up to speed.

The topic changes on response 5 from JMESTEP and really does a good job of describing what is needed for me in the interest in getting this cart working like my business model requires.

This is mostly an exercise in planning a modification, or a new app.

Those that feel that they can help please read this thread and reply either to that thread or in here with your perspectives.

I have reason to believe that custom code and an app external to Able Commerce could solve my problems.

Please I beg for direction.
