osCommerce Gift Registry

templateteacher · 09-03-2006, 08:25 AM

Has anyone implemented the Gift Registry contribution in osCommerce?

I am looking over the contribution and see that nearly every file in the /catalog/ folder needs to be modified. Does anyone have any pointers with installing this contribution?

Just have a backup and go for it. OSC is a mess. I used to write contributions for it and used it for a few ECommerce sites. It's great for what it is but sadly they need to release a new milestone. I was one of the few that realized it wasn't going to happen years ago and stopped working on the project. I see they are still on MS2.2 and that's been the case for like 5 years now. That's messed up.

Anyways...good luck on your coding.

Just curious here. I hear lots of people badmouth OScommerce. But, is there a decent alternative?

Osc works like a champ in the right hands.

We're moving some sites to Zen Cart...which is just Osc on steroids.

Not really...especially for free. Zen cart as mentioned is great but as stated..it's just OSC on steroids. I had my own version I was going to release as SuperOSC (registered the .com even) but got bored of it. It's a pretty bloated version I ran with just about every damn contrib possible.

If today I needed a commerce site..I would use OSC without hesitation. I am not gonna pay for software that actually isn't better.
