Didn't cut it

Listing Reviewed: PDshop Shopping Cart & Store
Strengths: Cheap
Weaknesses: Code, too many hidden surprises
Details: (Addon to my last review - www.scottishbeers.com.) We gave up developing it for real world use as we kept finding areas where it didn't do what it said it did. It also kept falling over. In the end we were wasti9ng too much time so we sought an alternative and bought cactushop, which has worked brilliantly. If you are serious about an ecommerce app for your asp site then PDShop pro is not the one - sorry.

Great customisable calendar

Listing Reviewed: MultiCalendars by Expinion
Strengths: A great calendar with fantastic support at an unbeatable price
Weaknesses: None
Details: After several months of searching for an "On-line availability/booking" calendar for our villa advertising company (http://www.discoveryvillas.co.uk) with little or no success we had nearly given up all hope.
Then we came across this calendar offered by expinion.net - absolutely fantastic!
With the minimum of effort we have been able to restructure the script to suit our own requirements whilst retaining the products key features.
In addition, the support was unbeatable with extremely quick, efficient and friendly help only a click away.
Well worth a look!

Needs some refinement 
Written by Stuart L from Scotland (Wednesday, July 30, 2003)

Listing Reviewed: PDshop Shopping Cart & Store
Strengths: Great price, good features
Weaknesses: Database errors, not great for UK shops and some things don't work
Details: We installed it at scottishbeers.com. At first glance it looked excellent but on actually running the app and customising it there were a number of errors and type mismatches when filling in forms. EG if you leave a field empty then it will spit out errors. Almost all of the forms need some kind of validation to stop this happening.
The shipping tax section lists only US, Canada & Intl tax fields...so if you set the LCID to the UK option, it still references everything as a US site for shipping. The image upload feature struggles to upload anything bigger than a 10K file and we had to create our own upload page. The default page redirects to the main shop pages which are in their own directory which is a real problem with customisation. If want this type of directory structure then that's fine but the problems is with the search engine indexing. On the default page there is an instruction to pleace your "doorway" page here. Search engines are banning doorway pages so that's not such a great idea.
It would be much better iof the shop pages were in the web root but because they aren't it makes it very time consuming to integrate the look and feel to that of your existing site.
On the plus side, the price is crazy and worthy of a 5 star alone. It has the best features of any of the shops I've tried by far however, it's spoiled a little by the form bugs. Once they see to the likes of the form validation and bring out a version where it redirects, then it will be a much easier application to add straight into your site. Editing in ultradev was quite easy and we were able to adjust table sizes for the look and feel
It's an excellent app but there needs to be a little bit of housekeeping to make it a 5 star app.

Impressive

Listing Reviewed: Comersus
Strengths: all asp-based, easily connects to many database types such as msaccess, free
Weaknesses: no comment
Details: Comersus is an incredibly flexible e-commerce solution that can be completely modified to suit YOUR needs. It is completely .asp based so that, using a html editor (e.g. frontpage, dreamweaver, etc.), the store/site can be completely customized & individualised. It comes with a msaccess database (and connection already setup), but you can easily (see the included manual) connect one of many other database types (mysql, oracle, etc.). Best of all, however, is that the whole thing is open source - meaning you get almost completely free-reign on the site's design & code. Highly recommended.
