Can anyone recomend a good ASP/MSSQL shopping cart? I've been running OsCommerce for a while now but the ducking and diving between ASP/MSSQL and PHP/MySQL is starting to grind on my nerves and would prefere to run my whole site through a MSSQL database using ASP... Any suggestions would be most appreciated, My site is for a charity organisation that receives no funding so the cheaper the better  ------------- Handyman man? |

Yup i agree with you there, they look more like shopping lists than shopping carts.

Sounds like it's candypress then... When i tried to buy it before about 8 months ago the payment stuffed up so i decided not to buy it being that it runs on it's own software and i was worried about stuffing i'm my customers payments. So anyone with pro's or con's of using Candypress i'd be very gratefull to here from you here..... ------------- Handyman man? |

Not sure how you're thinking of integrating it, but like Phat, a lot of people have really mangled the front end to suite specific site requirements yet the back end stays solid. -------------

I was thinking about an integrated login, like I integrated WWF, DUDirectoryPro, and numerous scripts I've written myself on http://www.CaribbeanChoice.com - CaribbeanChoice.com . One login for the entire website.

http://www.breathofair.co.uk/ASP/applications/Login/Features.asp - http://www.breathofair.co.uk/ASP/applications/Login/Features.asp I know that people have used it to integrate wwf and existing site logins, but don't know if anyone's used it for v8 yet. -------------

That's neat. I just checked out your arcade. As soon as we get our hosting situation straighted out (don't ask, its a nightmare) and then upgrade to version 8, I'll be one of the first to buy your version 8 arcade. I probably don't need the login manager since I already use WWF as the login manager for my website. But it looks good and people need something like that. ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

I've been taking a backward approach to this myself. I've been working on the newsletter ap to be the "core" membership module and it is hoped to upgrade to the forum if the user choses. BUT... I've been busy with a retail gig as well as waiting on V8 to release before recoding the core modules.
The idea is a little odd but then... so am I.

Borg just released a new API that allows you to use your own membership backend instead of WWF's. It's extremely simple to use. Just make your membership login and logout scripts set certain session variables, and WWF will create the WWF accounts automatically if they don't exists, and log them in if they do.
See, I'd need something like that, except for whatever shopping cart we decide to use, since I use WWF as the backend for membership management. ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

Okay, that's weird. The BBCode appears correct, but its ignoring one of the [/quote] tags. Strange. I even retyped it and it does the same thing.  ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

Has anyone had experience of http://www.cartweaver.com/ - Cartweaver2 or http://www.vpasp.com/ - VPASP . They seem to look ok, plenty of features. Looking at VPASP it seems you need a license for each website, which is pretty rubbish, whereas Cartweaver you can use it on as many as you like. Ideally i'd like to replicate the shopping basket on http://www.pacenote.com - Pacenote.com As it is clean looking at pretty easy to use, however it's not a commercially available package (PS I know it runs on PHP  ) |

These guys are just an application service provider... and not particularly cheap either. But you do get affiliate and referral tracking. Looks like it would be hard to integrate visually into a site. Giving cc info for a free trial strikes me as just being stupid. Maybe I'm overly suspicious but when the first two posts I see from someone are to resurrect a thread that's month's old and spam it for some service... -------------

How does one find the API to integrate my login info into WWF? You mentioned it is extremely simple, how simple?

There's instructions in functions/functions_member_API.asp
But basially, you set up session variables for login and password in your current login system for wwf to pick up. -------------

I thought it would be easier than it looks to be. I created the sesison variables, do I pass them in some way, or does the wwf know how to use them? I added the functions_login.asp to my include list at the top of the default page. Tried a couple of other things just to see if that would work, but I'm not having any luck. Can you give advice? Is this a complicated process?
