Re: [ic] Agora Shopping Cart is a lot better!
G'Day Again Steve,
I too have used MiniVend and now Interchange as a front end to an SQL database
and not to seel anything. It is PERFECT for this application.
Personally I treat MiniVend as a tool for a dynamic content based site. Any
site can be braught to life with MV/IC.
As to who should and shouldn't use it. Well if you are not a programmer you
shouldn't use it or you should hire one. Minivend is not for new users. If you
don't know or can't learn Perl, and have no idea what a shell account it, don't
bother me hacks about an excelent product. I actually wrote that guy an e-mail
he pissed me off so much.
There are three types of people in this world smart, stupid, and ignorant.
Ignorant people are just people with a lack of knoweldge. After you teach them
they are fine. Stupid people however are just stupid, and I can't deal with
stupid people. He is stupid.
As to a single store using MV/IC, why not! I have setup two of these. Most of
the time you just replace the graphics, and do minor mods to the template and
away you go!
