What I would like to see are that the pages are based on templates. Now only the header and footer are 'editable' but how about changing the layout of the checkout page for example? I know it is not something that most of you require but for the designers out there this will be a blessing. Every page will have its own template. |

I second that. How about some respose???? One more thing. Seperate the layout and formatting from the functions. Make sure all functions ever churn out is data and leave the layout to templates. I'm new to Product Cart and I was asked to customize the design and it's a total nightmare. bits of table codes everywhere and nowhere, mixed into loops in unreadable uncommented stupid ASP code. So do us designers a small favor, make it totally controllable by CSS, XHTML-Compliant, truly customizable (it isn't now). Being just able to edit header.asp and footer.asp is NOT customizable!!! |

| Even though you're saying it kind of blunt, you're right! I have, however, worked with PC before and if it would have what you just said, it would be the best shopping cart script out there. |

We have spent several months reorganizing the code in many areas of ProductCart for version 3. We hope that you will find this version a big step forward in the direction that you described above.
The bottom line is that when you have several programmers involved over the years into a project that comprises hundreds of thousands of lines of code, it is hard to output beautiful, perfectly commented code all the time, and still meet new feature requests rapidly and without substantially raising prices. By the way: the "stupid ASP code" mentioned by Aeon above is used by thousands of successfull e-commerce stores around the world, many of them selling millions of dollars of products and services over the Internet ------------- The ProductCart Team Home of ProductCart http://www.productcart.com" rel="nofollow - shopping cart software |

ASP (vbscript) is not so stupid.
Perhaps, ProductCart is alittle (grin) due to the use of cdbl(), sparse remarks, and minimal error handling. (like expecting a valid record to exist when doing a query)... but, alot of programmers have created many wonderful applications with ASP. |
