blog for xcart vs xCMS?
We are looking into a blog function to integrate with an existing site that is about to be upgraded to 4.4
Rather than a separate WordPress blog, I'd prefer an integrated solution. I've bought from both safetynet and websitecm in the past, and both are excellent. Based on the description pages: http://www.safetynetweb.com/Blog-for-XCART.html and http://www.websitecm.com/x-cart-mods/x-cart-blog-cms.html, the latter seems to have more features. Anyone evaluated them or had good experiences? cheers

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
I just installed xCMS and can only rave about the mod and Jon from websiteCM.
I tried connecting Joomla and Wordpress to xcart and it just didn't work. Jon has just upgraded this mod to: I can now relate entries (blogs) to any product category or product. So, while browsing a category, you can now display related entries (blogs) specific to that category. While displaying a Product, you can now display related entries (blogs) linked to its product category in a tab for example. I also noticed that google picks up the entries from the blogs within hours. Not sure if it is due to the xCMS alone or in combination with the CDSEO-Pro I installed. But this combination of the 2 mods has definitely helped our google ranking. This is truly the best content management system that integrates with x-cart. I've been waiting for years for this to work.

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
Hi Jon,
Overall xCMS is impressive - it's just what we needed in terms of getting our site noticed by the search engines. However we are having a problem with getting the articles related to a particular category displaying - they just don't. Is there a setting that we're missing? As far as I can see we're doing everything correct i.e. relating the article to the category in the article editing screen. Regards, Chris v4.1.5 CDSEO xCMS

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
Hi Jon,
All fixed now - thanks for your help. Just a bit missing from the installation instructions. For future editions of the mod I might suggest including the ability to 'feature' articles or at least the ability to display in a rank order and also change the default sort display.

We have a demo at http://demo.websitecm.com/ (customer) http://demo.websitecm.com/admin/ (admin).
You can see it active also on http://www.websitecm.com/ Maybe some users wouldn't mind offering their sites as demos also. |
