A) FREE MODULE (ARS Community Website)
I spotted this free x-cart module, from the Arrscommunity.com guys - please see http://www.arscommunity.com/wiki/articles-cart-wordpress-integration

B) PAID MODULE (X-Cart Extras Website)
I came across the X-Cart mods site offering Extras module...
- please see http://mods.x-cart.com/home.php (wordpress integration $329 up).


It seemed to me that both of these mods, offer basically the same final end result for customers
i.e. integration of Wordpress into X-Cart... yes?

So would people here recommend, just going with this free mod version and forgetting the paid X-Cart one?
(or am I missing something here?)

Cheers and thanks for comments - Asiaplay

1. Their module will affect your store/server`s perfomance, because it launches a PHP script each time your browser needs to download a CSS or JS file.

2. Their module is potentially insecure:

 if ($_GET['incl_file']) {
    $incl_file = preg_replace('/\.\./', '', $_GET['incl_file']);
    $file = $xcart_dir.'/blog/'.$_GET['incl_file'];

..

echo file_get_contents($file);
