What do people recommend here now that interakt have been bought and
abandoned all their customers? :-(

Primarily interested in PHP although would consider other language if
particularly outstanding.

Intellicart seems to have just died from what I gather. Felixone? any
others?

I'll put in a good word for Cartweaver...although I am biased because I
wrote the PHP version. Take a look at http://www.cartweaver.com/demos to see
if it meets your needs.

Hi, Tom

Well, I have had a look under the hood of the CF version of CW. A lot
of the CF CW is written hand-coded rather with SB's available in
Dreamweaver. This weakens the WYSIWYG in design view. Which probably
means learning the language.

Presumably you've done the same thing with the PHP version - hand
coded rather using the DW tools?

Should have added that there is also a doubt about CF future under
Adobe - what do you think?

Unless you have been sitting in on the board meetings, I don't understand
how you can come to this conclusion. Anything else is pure speculation .

Cartweaver is a complete e-commerce application, so it is completely coded.
I'm not sure I follow what you are saying about using SB's available in DW.
You could not create a complete e-commerce application using those limited
number of server behaviors. That would be almost impossible. DW server
behaviors give you a very limited set of functionality. For example, there
are no server behaviors to email a customer or upload an image for the
store.

I was recommending the PHP version, so the future of CF has no bearing,
although CF will be around for years to come without question.

Here's the official view on Adobe's own website:

"Adobe continues to focus resources on moving ColdFusion forward,
leveraging the rich family of products and technologies now offered by
Adobe."

Yeh, but thats just 'their' opinion David.....

<ducking for cover>

Seriously, it is probably the most common question and concern for those
considering venturing into CF development, but it has only gone from
strength to strength in the few years I have dabbled in it. Lets hope it
continues that way.

Thanks, David. I hadn't seen that. Seems reassuring. Perhaps along
with a lot of others we are a bit cynical after the interakt affair.

Well at least we have established you know nothing about CF's future
but seemingly a lot about a**holes :-)
