[ic] Error in strap for interchange e-commerce.

[Jon Jensen]

David,

Interchange is not dead, but nobody is actively putting work into maintaining the parts used to build a new catalog from scratch because most active Interchange users don’t start new stores that way.

The checkout problems you’re describing affect new deployments and the demo, but most production Interchange stores are customized and do not have the problems you’re finding. What you found of course still matters, but I wanted you to know why it doesn’t resonate with many of us.

Also, dumping an ITL file like that into email doesn’t really work to contribute back to Interchange—email affects line endings and whitespace, and we can’t readily see what you changed.

To increase the likelihood that a maintainer will look at what you’re contributing, you can create a pull request in GitHub: https://github.com/interchange/interchange

That won’t mangle your file and makes it much easier to see what exactly you changed.

HTH,
Jon
