Keith,

I saw both of your posts regarding this. I too had some difficulty with it due to Magneticone's terminology...

You need to type out the "root directory path" where XCART is installed. this may vary depending on your installation and host.

IE: httpdocs/xcart

It is installed in my Root

So I type my IP for FTP server

Then in the base directory field...put /home/user/public_html/ ?

Because that has not worked yet either...

I've been seriously looking at this product for my virtual mall. Will this work in this type of setup? Also can i give licences to my vendors so that they can manage their products only using this software? Also is there an accounting component rather than just an product management component? How is the order management part of it?

When is the estimated launch of this? Will there be any sort of accounting component to this package as well, as well as vendor/PO control? I think a lot of people would be interested in a package that would take care of the entire backend/accounting operation on their own computer.

If you distinguish order management and accounting part - than order management is completely ready and works for 1-2 months.

What I mean saying order management:
1. List, filter, create/remove orders
2. export orders to csv/excel - including custom format
3. Advanced search (really advanced)
4. send email on order status change (i.e. process orders from store manager)
5. Order editing (add/remove products, recalculate etc)
6. Reports on orders, including ability to create custom reports
7. Import orders

Accounting (integration with existing acc software):
Is in progress now, 95% done for initial beta, will be announced a bit later. Should come as final version in early 2009.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Curious how this will translate to 4.2 (for those who have already purchased for previous version ala 4.1.11)? I presume it's not quite ready for this, but is there any timeframe in mind, and/or upgrade path for existing users? thanks

I process credit cards manually and use store manager - but unfortunately it doesnt display the card details on the orders so I still have to use the webpage admin to get these details - am I missing something or is this meant to be excluded ?
