Anyone have any luck setting up a shopping cart on a e-smith server??  If so which one did you use?

Many Thanks

Joe

I have successfully used a couple of the cgi based shopping cart systems in past releases of e-smith (sorry name escapes me right now). I rememver looking at Akopia's offerings for a few hours but it requires a little more extensive configuring and I only had 25 products to worry about.

I would do a search for cgi/perl based shopping cart systems that are not database driven. If you don't have many products this should be more than enough.

Ok my brain is unthawed now.

commerce.cgi

Looks pretty plain but once you get into it there is all kinds of features. Just remember that the performance drops as the number of products increases.

If you need any help with it let me know....

You could just use simple HTML files for that ?  I guess it depends on what you're trying to sell, a single item or are you expecting your customer to select from a list?

If your looking for something simple to set up.

It's php but requires no database.

I tend to look at PHP before cgi stuff, manay security issues with cgi.

Take a gander at http://www.hotscripts.com, just about something for everybody there. There are also some other sites that are great script resources.
