ok i contacted xcart to get a quote on this. If its even possible we'll pay for it and resell the hack at an affordable rate depending on what the development costs for the hack are, cross your fingers !!!

Anybody else looking to make a quote?

have a test site up, the xcart team is looking at it to see if its feasible to integrate, we need to get as many people on the list who are interesed, it will lower each of our out of pocket expense the more people we have interesed in xcart/vb integration, if your interesed post a reply and only post if your seriouly willing to help pay for the development, we have no idea what the costs will be untill i hear back from xcart, thanks

[Jon]

I'll put money on it.

It's 2 months later. What's the word?

i never heard anything back from x-cart after i made a whole new test site, installed all the software and sent them all the login info they needed to ftp to the site and check it out, since then i took down the site and said the hell with it, by now they've scene this thread and know people want it, also we decided we did'nt want a message board on our business web site "but we are still interested" in having the ability to choose to run the software. Their really needs to be a better arcitecture of the software, theirs been talk about a modular x-cart just like phpnuke is, this would be the route to go. If we had the ability to just install vbulletin, photopost, amember, ecttt.. and just log-into x-cart and "activate" the modules that would blow x-cart sales through the roof, are they listening? hopefully because taking advantage of what others have already done and riding their shirtails is the road to success. x-cart (rrf) do you have any idea how explosive your sales would be if word got out on the photopost/vbulletin message boards that an out-of-the-box ecommerce solution had modular plug-ins for vbulletin/photopost? I'd like to buy some stock options before you release, OK?

If your using the same database for phpBB and x-cart its somewhat easy to make the x-cart registration form, process the users data into the table for phpBB so that customers don't have to register twice. Just takes a bit of php knowledge.

I'm not too big a fan of vbulletin however.

I agree, vbulletin is actually a pretty horrendous piece of software, especially since you have to pay. It is bloated, slow, and doesn't handle high flow sites well at all. You are paying for nothing more than the support.

I would recommend to you...

Invision Power Board (#1 recommendation)
phpBB (#2 because its been known to be unstable, and has corrupted a few databases, and has some security issues)
yabb SE or SM
