you should check out http://www.x-cart.com
Their pro cart looks like it will handle what you
want. Not free, but you do get the source code. 

Plus it uses smarty (smarty.php.net). Right now I am
working on an osCommerce project and while it is a
great project I cannot believe it has come so far
without any template system.

You might want to look at eShox, it's based on osCommerce, but in my
opinion
it's quite a lot better.

Cheers!

Modifications are pretty straightforward if you're fairly experienced with 
PHP. However the major drawback is that any modifications you make may need 
to be redone each time you change versions (upgrade). And because there is no 
plugin architecture most of the contributions (~plugins~) requires direct 
modification of the OSC files and thus are mostly attached to a specific 
version making upgrades very tedious.

My conclusion is that if the base system does more than 95% of what you need 
then it should be a good choice.

thanks Richard, I will take a look.  osCommerce does a create job of
creating an online marketplace.  The problem is to add items, you need to go
through the admin pages.  We need to be able to allow users to add items,
sort of like ebay without the auction.

[PHP] osCommerce and modifications

2003-07-18 Thread Edward Peloke
Hello,

I am helping a friend with an eCommerce site.  We have decided to use
osCommerce.  The package looks really nice and is completely PHP.  My
question is, does anyone have much experience with modifying it?  We have to
make some changes but all of the code looks fairly intertwined.

Just looking for others who have done this and what changes you made...

Thanks,
Eddie
