Q: If we bought this
package, could we make modifications to the CF code (for
aesthetics, maybe minor modifications)?
A: Yes. You can make
changes to the application. The application provides a
foundation and I highly encourage customization. This is 100%
open source - NO Encrypted Files.
Q: Can an existing
database of products be easily used without having to use the
admin function to manually enter products?
A: Sure, this is just a matter of implementing the existing
Table(s) and field(s) in your SQL and CFQUERY queries to take
the place of what is currently coded. You can also replace
the Update products page to accomodate your existing database
so that you can edit and add products.
Q: If a merchant
provider is not created, can the application be modified to
send an email to someone with an order without having to go
through some external credit card system?
A: As it stands right now the application already sends an
e-mail to the site administrator (or whoever) notifying them
that a sale has just occurred and to the customer, verifying
their purchase. The credit card processing tag can be taken
out with no problems. All that the Credit Card processing tag
does is recall the credit card number and billing information
that the customer has already put in and processes it.
Q: Can batch
processing be done?
A: There are several ways that this can be accomplished.
ColdFusion has a function referred to as CFSCHEDULE that will
process information as set up if the CF Administrator. With
this function you can schedule certain events to take place at
certain times automatically.
One of the other alternatives is to build a module in the site
administrator, that with one click of a button will execute a
chain of queries that will generate reports, process e-mail
orders, etc.
Q: What type of database
does this application integrate with? (Our servers currently
support MySQL)
A: The application is
currently developed using an MS Access97 database. A SQL
Server 2000 version is coming soon, however the cost will
increase significantly for this version. If you are familiar
with SQL (structured query language) you should have no
problems integrating the application to MySQL, SQL Server or
the Database of your choice
Q: Can we use this
application for multiple sites, or do we have to pay per site?
A: Please refer to the
License.
