Just installed Zen Cart and it Rocks! no more paying for mods for me, everything I need is included for FREE and I don't need to pay for any license to take away the branding, that can be done for FREE too.

BOOYACKA, BOOYACKA, Zen Cart YEAH!!!

It's a good cart based on OSCommerce. BUT has all the downfalls of OSCommerce too...

Wait till Thursday 31st March

Good luck with ZC. We'll see you when tech support doesn't answer.

*buys some party hats and noise makers for March 31st*

My host uses fantastico

i loaded zen os and Cube all too see what i would use

Zen was delted immediatly and OS right after

I have no doubts about Cube Cart being right for me, I looked at a couple of hosted carts, but they couldn't offer what I wanted, then I cam across Cube Cart, once installed I knew that I had found what I was looking for, I am really pleased with how easy it is to work with and to change and mod things.

A BIG thanks to Brooky for not making Cube Cart like the others

Thanks... and thanks from me to all the great people who help out here in the forums.

Even without the Excel mod you can still uplaod as a csv and that alone was a selling point for me

(Now i just need a linkpoint gateway and to install the sales tax mod)

I wonder if zenboy has actually tried using it yet,,,,or if he has just finished reading the features list.

I kinda suspiciious at the fact that this post is made a few days before CC3 is suppose to launch.

ZenCart.... UGH! almost as bad as 'the lumbering beast' (cant remember who said that, twisted possibly...) OSC... carts- you name it, i've tried it, and CC is the ONLY one i've lasted more than 2 days with.

3 Cheers for CC!

OSCommerce.... like using a hammer to crack an egg....

Ya know those hammers they bought out for ladies? Pretty pink and blue ones with flowers? Thats Zen cart....it looks prettier......but its still a hammer!

Yes Rob...it was me that called it the lumbering beast.

In the last 4 years, I have probably tried.....AT LEAST 30 different cart scripts...for the last 3 years, i have been using cubecart [since when it was still known as e-store].

hahaha, Zencart should be wheeled out and added to the pile of s**t outside my gate. CC is by far the best I have ever seen. Roll on CC3.

Spanky

I am not sure about the upcoming upgrade to CC3 if it is as problematic as version 2 then I will keep a wide berth. In my opinion zen cart has much more to offer than the competitors, I have been using zen for over a week now and as yet I have not seen anything of the problems people talk about.

to reiterate my previous excitement:

BOOYAKA, BOOYAKA, zen cart yeah.

Wait untill tomorrow

Is Zen Cart XHTML Valid?
100% Language supported including site docs and products? OH and unlimited amounts of languages.
100% Template driven where php is 100% seperate from html (well 99.99%)?
Plug and Play Gateways/Shipping - Just Upload them
Unlimited amount of currencies
Unlimited Category Levels
Products in unlimited no of categories.

More I'm sure...

Oh and I bet the guys who made it are not absolute legends like me


Saying this CC3 Alpha will be very buggy to start.

Zencart :

Our members have made a total of 113,292 posts
We have 9926 registered members

Cubecart :
Our members have made a total of 32,237 posts
We have 26,410 registered members

And one more thing if you like zencart so much , that's fine by me but why posting your posts inhere if we are all Pro Cubecart

And 1,500 unique visitors a day... Hence the annoying banner ads.

Must work brooky, must work brooky.....

*mouth starts watering*


LMAO, if you do say so yourself brooky Kidding man, you rock!

Exactly, its like eating a steak dinner in a homeless shelter...

*gets the whip back out*

Moehahaha

Zenboy is cubed

Just trying to convert a few lost souls along the way!




Glad to see youre keeping up with tradition

I'm not going to deny the fact Zencart is a good cart.

sorry to all the cube cart users, as we speak my zen cart has died a horrible death and I can't even get into the admin

Anyone here can give me a hand to convert over to cube cart?

You live. You learn. Welcome back.


I'm sure someone here has the know-how for cubing Zen Cart.

I would wait until tomorrow.

Saying that the first release is not suitable for production environments.

I think I want to laugh...

After all your hype for of zencart and putting down of cubecart, look where you're standing.

Apology accepted

i would love to give you a hand zenboy unfortunatly it wont be for about a week until i stop laughing so hard from zen cart failing yet another time

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


rock on cc3

This support is awsome... It's thanks to you guys CC3 is even being /has been / nearly has been made!?!?!?

I'm quite happy to share some of this humble pie (I've got way too much to eat myself) Any way Good luck with the new version.

If it's OK with you guys can I join in the countdown to version 3?

Sorry, but I am laughing. Zenboy, wipe that egg from your face!

I liked the zen cp, it's quite useable, but on my test server (a slow old raq550) it was taking 3.5 to 4 sec to build a page and that was with only 10 test products. That was not going to be suitable as I have a client with the same old server. Changing to CC a month back has proved great and the pages build in a flash. So looking forward to 3, go for it Brooky. Bye bye zen!

Wow and CC2 is very intensive. CC3 is lightening faster.

Get your hands on a server from www.beachcomber.net

I was blown away (and still am) to get a p4 2.8GB (hyperthreaded) with 160GB 1GB RAM and 1.5 Terrabytes of data transfer a month.

Oh and cPanel for a measly $149 a month!!!!

Blown away by that.

Oh and the page size of CC3 is only 20Kb (about 50% being one image) that means you can have a very high traffic site low server load and next to no bandwidth usage.

Big cheer for Brooky! I can't wait now, Is it ready, Is it ready brooky?

21 hours yet.

Can't it be released a day early for licenced customers, a little reward? just an idea!

nope, sorry.

cant wait

Woooooooooooot woooooooooooooot

well..
i like OSC as well as Zen Cart, they are both great.
but CC is more friendly in my openion, the only thing i would love to see in the future is an advance Template system ( such as Invision Power Board 2.0.3 )
and ofcource i would love to see the log in eccapt username instead of email address.
Finally, thanks to brooky for the fine piece of art and thanks to everyone creating mods for CC.

p.s. i cant wait to see how the CC 3 final release turns out

I came running here after trying EasyShopMaker Pro... Nothing easy about it, trust me. And the "support" staff is extremely arrogant and hostile.

So for me it is a relief to actually find a product that does what *I* want AND that has these most excellent support forums, where everyone actually helps eachother.

Well done everyone.

Thank you. It is so nice to hear that and brings a very positive light on future development and a great community.
