Fork with osCommerce (Score 1)

Dear All, We have created a fork off osCommerce specialising in service based eCommerce but it works quite well for plain old product sales as well. Things are going well. You should come and see what we have done. www.oscommres.com (OS Commerce Reservations). Last week we released ticketing and ID cards. The month before, a full Subscription module with fancy eMarketing suport. We are close to completing the mother of all shops where you can by a product or a service like a car service and have all the marketing bells and whistles to support those sales. At osCommRes, we can't say we have completed a full rewrite to osCommerce but we are on the way. Right now we are in "an accommodation phase" with the osCommerce code but we have commited to a complete backend rewrite with lots of AJAX and MVC underlying it. We are gradually introducing AJAX into the front end too. Like everyone who has wrestled with the osCommerce code, we hate it. But osCommerce does have a lot of good extensions. We have incorporated many and like how we can add a payment module very easily etc. On one hand, we are doing things the hard way by hacking away at osCommerce, on the other hand, we are glad to have started with a shopping cart solution that did a lot of the core eCommerce functions. Just so you know, we have no relationship with the osCommerce development team. They ignore any offers of help or provide sponsorship. Recently, as part of our installer upgrade project, we decided to drop support for converting from osCommerce to osCommres and use an installer that will allow simple upgrades. Cheers, Damian Hickey
