Cart forums

Ruralweb

The forum is getting loads more active now and would it be a good idea to alocate a forum to each shopping cart so subjects could be separated out rather than one huge thread such as the interspire one which covers lots of different subjects.

I think this would help with people finding stuff and seo to bring in new members

Chunkford

Just think in years to come, TA$ will be the No.1 resourse for selling online.
And us bad boys/girls have been here at the start!
Bring it on! hehe

Quarm

Totally agree with that Mal, good idea.

Ruralweb

There could also be a thread about cart features to discuss the relative Neots of each. The review posts today is a good example about what I'm suggesting as I'm sure that subject could go on for hundreds of posts.

Doing this we can see what features are important to people and how beat to use them another example would be the best use of mini carts

mods could prune the current forum content to get it better organised as the review stuff will soon be burrows under interspire chat

Gabriel Crowe

Excellent.

I'll investigate immediately.

Darren

Gabe are you done investigating yet? :D

i see it along these lines under the section "Software For Selling Online"

we list all the carts with their own sections eg
Actinic
Interspire
Erol
Magento
Cube Cart

and ill spend a little time moving stuff around

MoleEnd

Plus another one maybe for feature comparison, where each topic would be a feature and people that know about each cart could describe the features.

ok im going to look at adding some new sections, if they end up in the wrong place please dont shout at me :D

let me know here if you like and i will adjust them

Gabriel Crowe

I have added some descriptions, i think they may be too much, opinions?

GrantG

From experience, the description should be on 1 line - the Actinic and Magento descriptions look perfect and keep the layout nice and tidy without too much clutter. There's too much info for OSCommerce on first glance IMO.

I see Erol have just signed up to this forum too :)

Parklife

Would tend to agree with Grant, too much text for oscommerce and Cubecart.

Would also like to see Payment Service Providers given its very own area.

Darren

okay a few more changes, i hopee you lot dont expect this l;evel of service all the time ;)

Fantastic!!

Chunkford

I must say it's look more focused now. Nice one!

Quarm

Save some space, have Actinic/Erol, after all it looks the same anyway?

PMSL are you asking for trouble

Quarm

I was being serious, if one party has sold out to another, then surely merged info would be best?

GrantG

Would be cool if somebody developed a vBulletin/Twitter plugin which allowed you to @username through the forum and notifies the forum user of the reply directed towards them.

Then we could @cbarling and ask what the situation is with Actinic/Erol...

Erol are now owned by someone else, well not sure how recent but when i rang the phone was answered with another company name, perhaps our new member could enlighten us

Darren

ok so perhaps if we have a section that is titled

"Tools for selling online"

with the following subsections

- Ecommerce Carts
- PSP's
- Hosted Solutions (Ebay, Amazon e.t.c)
- Comparrison Websites

And these would then list the threads/sections we already have for each one

Darren

OK seeing as you lot have probably gone on holiday already i have made the changes suggested

over to you guys

Also your notice a neat little addon gabe has done to the bottom of your browser window, it contains a list of shortcuts

GrantG

Can't remember how this is achieved, but it may well be worthwhile adding the Subforums of Ecommerce Carts to the homepage (eg, http://forums.ukwebmasterworld.com/) for link advantages. Are X-Cart and Zen Cart not worthy of a description, or too masterful to be described to noobs? ;)

Darren

ok added some loose descriptions for zen and x cart

cbarling

Actinic and Erol have no association. As far as I'm aware we've only had one contact with them in the last 5 years or so.

The new ownesrhip of Erol was news to me, but two of the directors of the new company, (including the main man) were major shareholders in the previous company, Dreamteam Design. So probably not much change.

Chris

Howdy, Stranger!
