After 2 months of struggling with Etailer, EMarket, and ZCommerce I give up! I busted my butt trying to get Etailer up and running only to be told by Adroit that they are no longer supporting Etailer in favor of a commercial app coming out in June (too far away for me). This, after asking a few tough questions about Wampum and offering to pay for help. EMarket is a whole other monster I have fought with for way too long as well. Steve has done a great job and has been very helpful, but still, trying to create even the simplest of stores has eluded me. The whole EMarket experience is like trying to put a puzzle together where someone has mixed pieces from an old puzzle in with the new puzzle and the reference photo is missing. ZCommerce, as simple as it seems, doesn't make any since either. Without the demo store I am clueless where to even start. If I install the demo store and then attempt to view the index_html page my Zope2.2.5 on Linux goes to 95% cpu and locks-up (yes I have a sessionstorage table in my gadfly database). Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer and the site I want the store for is a volunteer effort I work on in my spare time. This post is not meant to start the "if you want a canned app. then pay for a canned app." argument. I'm fully aware that every one of these products is worked on as time allows and are all being offered to help further Zope and eCommerce development. I don't expect anything, but I sure do HOPE :-) If anyone has created a simple store/shopping card that allows for secure processing of orders (and maybe a Wampum hook) and possible product images and would be willing to share the code, I would be willing to try and rustle up some cash (not sure how much). Thanks!!!! Jamey

If you're not a programmer, you shouldn't be messing around with Zope and e-commerce because it's not ready for prime-time and it won't be for a while. I suggest you install something more ready-to-go and proven, like Akopia (www.akopia.com). -- Cees de Groot http://www.cdegroot.com <cg@cdegroot.com> GnuPG 1024D/E0989E8B 0016 F679 F38D 5946 4ECD 1986 F303 937F E098 9E8B

Becaue you are a programmer? I can hardly believe that you are using a Zope product out-of-the-box... There are probably people out there that are making money with commerce solutions based on Intel Macro Assembler, but that hardly is a reason for pronouncing it the best or even a good solution. IMNSHO, Zope is a good content management system but not a very good basis for e-commerce work.

I know, my company sells Intershop 4.2 hostings. -- Cees de Groot http://www.cdegroot.com <cg@cdegroot.com> GnuPG 1024D/E0989E8B 0016 F679 F38D 5946 4ECD 1986 F303 937F E098 9E8B

Zope is an *excellent* platform for ecommerce. However, it is not at this time turnkey: you do have to do programming work to make it happen. --RDM
