we do not provide our ecommerce package as an open source addon to brix - that is our special sauce :) besides, it will not be of too much use to everyone since it is highly specialized for selling wine. it should not be too difficult to integrate brix with another ecomm backend, we basically have 4 tiles that interface our backend with brix: a product catalog tile, a product detail tile, shopping cart tile, and a checkout tile. we do have additional tiles that we may release later as open source addons to brix: news, events, recipes. -igor > > -- > Jeremy Thomerson > http://www.wickettraining.com > > [1] - http://www.oscommerce.com/ > > On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 3:42 PM, Igor Vaynberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> there is no BrixPanel yet. should not be too difficult to build, we >> just havent had a need for it yet. >> >> -igor >> >> On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 1:21 PM, Korbinian Bachl - privat >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > Hi Igor! >> > >> > Igor Vaynberg schrieb: >> >> >> >> On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Korbinian Bachl - privat >> >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> >> >>> Hi Igor & Company! >> >>> >> >>> nice to see your CMS nearly ready!
