So… where’s that store, EH!? If you need help — let me know. Love the latest episode, btw — great stuff man. Wish I would have taken part in that rtt hunt!! Next time, stop using so much rot13 — mix it up a bit w/ uuencode, base64, hex or some other kind ENCODING in plain text (something we can chomp on). Something more web-based, http, php, html, ftp, telnet, html, javascript, whatever, would be cool.

For a quick and dirty solution, try osCommerce. I’ve developed all my ecommerce systems from scratch so I’ve never used it but I know it’s relatively easy to setup and free since it’s open source.

Good luck

Darren,

I’m sure you have it all under control, but don’t forget about all the PCI-DSS requirements that go along with ecommerce.

As an Info.Sec / Audit guy, you give me fits…but you are always right on target. You’ve helped me impress some tech guys more than once!

Regards,

Darren,

ZenCart also has a great FAQ, very helpful forum, and lots of free add-ins. I’ve always found the answers to all my questions during setup on the FAQ or forum. Hope it fits your needs!

PS. I’ve been watching the show since the beginning. You guys do good work for a quality show. Thanks!

Take care,
Marc

I feel bad about failing to have the store up by the air date. When we filmed I really thought it would be online but I ended up having a hell of a time with three different platforms.

In a nutshell the eCommerce wordpress plugins need to come a long way before they’ll be a viable option. See http://forums.shopplugin.net/topic/sql-errors-query-failed

Furthermore, while Magento is open source and full featured it comes with a learning curve that makes piloting a 747 look like a cakewalk.

@Marc, Thanks for the recommendation — I’ll give ZenCart a shot.
