Need Shopping Cart Script With These Specs . . .
Mike
I'm looking for a shopping cart meeting the following specs:
1. Product pages produced by database file information, including a
graphic.
2. User clicks on product category, then a page with all the products in
that category is displayed.
3. All displayed pages are web-master-configurable.
4. Sales tax calculated on area sold to, shipping calculated on weight
and distance. Can customize this code.
5. Must be frames compatible.
6. Code must be highly configurable in all aspects and well documented.
Perhaps there is nothing out there that meets this description
perfectly, but as long as I'm pointed to a good customizable script
generating pages from a database then I'm sure I can eventually make it
do what I want.
I wish to tackle this project myself as a learning experience so I won't
be needing any responses from persons wishing to do it for me.

Hi Mike!
Your email doesn't seem to working, mail bounces, so I'm replying in
this newsgroup. You asked about a shopping cart script, so please let
me tell you about our program, Surf Cat.
Surf Cat produces on-the-fly catalog pages, with data read from a
tab-delimited text file. The data is divided into categories (multiple
levels of categories in the final release). You can navigate easily
among the categories. Each item occupies one line in a table, but you
can click on it for further info. When you click 'Grab', the item is
placed into a 'trolley', the word we used instead of 'cart'. When you
choose 'Checkout', you enter your name and other info and the order is
emailed to some location (optionally PGP-encrypted). An electronic
receipt will be output in the final release. You can review your
trolley, including subtotals and totals, all the time by clicking
'Trolley'. A search function is planned, although not currently
implemented.
The program is driven by .html-templates, so every single line of
output can be customized. It's easy to customize, you just deal with
the templates, an .ini file and some optionally additional files. Surf
Cat will support multiples languages. While Surf Cat is written for
Windows NT, it should port easily to Unix. It's written in the
language Perl. It's designed to be secure. For example, you can't take
another person's trolley. Surf Cat is NOT exposed by the reported
Windows NT/perl.exe security hole. New modules, for things like your
shipping calculations, are easily added.
The current Surf Cat 0.03 (unfortunately in Swedish) is available at
http://www.databasen.se/cgi-bin/hotstuff.exe. Please try it out!
'Kundvagnen' means 'Trolley', 'Gå till kassan' means 'Checkout', 'Sök'
means 'Search' and 'Beställ' 'Place order'.
We're planning on introducing Surf Cat for an introductionary price of
USD 495. That will include the program with a license for an unlimited
number of users, a year of free updates, utility programs for
preparing the data and post-processing an order, a setup program and
many setup examples, detailed documentation and e-mail / phone /
fax-support. The first release version should be ready during November
1996.
