The thing about the movie is that they could have shown it last summer but they held it back because the happy meal action figures where going to be two days behind the release date so they descided to just let you think about it for the next year. For all the Halo fans out there, where is the movie that was said to be released some two year ago, then changed to the summer of 2009, then pushed to 2010!!

Apparently they run these in Pennsylvania

Nick,
Can you confirm a release date for CCP8 yet??

Thanks!!!!!

Magwa,

I'm with you on it and my sarcastic posts are a reaction to the utterly ridiculous situation where, as you say, confident release dates are continually knocked at the last minute.  Believe me, if I wasn't hanging in there, I wouldn't be messing around here.  I had several projects to do which should have been done 3 months ago.  If I'd known about this delay I would have bought V6 and got on with it, and upgraded, but with the "it's another few days away" going on it seemed totally pointless to double our work.  I've considered other carts but didn't want the learning curve so have been hanging on.  Wrong decision.

I am sure that noone disagrees with the fact that the unprofessionalism shown with this is extraordinary.  We also agree that the product needs to be right before it's released.  Those of us - ie me - whose project launches are not critical for paying the mortgage are just still waiting because the alternatives are too much hassle.  For those who couldn't wait - well it's been terrible as they've been kept on a hook and then dropped, probably causing them great embarassment and loss of business.

The management of this has been laughable.  It does not mean that the end product won't be good.  It doesn't mean Nick's a bad developer and none of this is personal.  It's just extreme frustration and incredulity at the utter farce that this has become. 

Nick knows this.  He's taking the flack but doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes.  Saying yet again that he doesn't want to rush out a release speaks volumes, unfortunately, and gives me absolutely no confidence that the next release date will be "the day".  In fact let's face it, it won't be.  But who cares - I'll be on holiday and who knows, when I'm back at the end of August it may be done.  Maybe.

For those people who keep saying how wonderful the new version will be, well anyone who thinks it's not worth waiting for is not going to be venting their frustration on here.

My final word on this:  Nick, please, please listen to people.  DO NOT bump the date again.  If the next date isn't an absolute - meaning you've finished it now and have tested it and are testing it and it's ready to go and you're just sitting on it for fun then tell us now.  If it's not going to be ready then give us a date which is realistic.  No last minute add-ons, changes, fixes or bugs.  No rushing it through.  No holidays getting in the way.  No excuses.  Please.  Enough.

I have been using CCP since 4.0 and have been through all the release dates since then. This is typical of all the previous release dates of the other versions.  Frustrating when you are waiting, isn't it? I learned not to let any of my customers know about a new version until I actually had it on one of my servers and fully tested.  Have fun waiting for the release.  I may upgrade in a few months if it has been released by then.

We toured the scotch factory in Oban back in 2000 when we were over there for a friends wedding   Great samples lol

The main and overriding goal of CCP is a solution that works for a majority of people without every bell and whistle known to man rolled into it.  XMODs are available at additional cost to meet the needs of those folks who need them.  They are not things that every shop needs or wants.

The other solutions tend to include everything in the belief that it makes their solution look better when in fact it ends up leading to a much larger and more complex solution than it needs to be for most people.  And with the larger and more complex solution are more chances for security and maintenance issues.

Seriously though...
I'm just not quite sure why HD SEO is an XMOD, i'd have thought that EVERYONE would want that facility.

Quite bluntly it, nor even the basic SEO that comes with CCP, is needed.  But some people insist on it which is why both are available.  Not everyone wants the HD SEO XMOD, not even close, and a good number of people don't even use the basic SEO that's supplied with CCP.

Hello all.  Just wanted to give everyone an update on the release.  We expect to release ClickCartPro 7 as planned on Monday probably around 4:00 PM ET.

For those users of ClickCartPro 6 who are ready for the next generation in E-Commerce, consider upgrading to ClickCartPro 7.

The new software offers you all the standalone power that ClickCartPro 6 does, but also offers you a number of new features including a Web 2.0 windows-like interface for administrators.  Let's face it - the biggest gripe store owners have with ClickCartPro 6 is the management interface - so we tackled that issue in a big way with the version 7 release.  All of the cumbersome tasks like managing relationships and switching from one area to another and back again have been addressed.  Tasks have been made easier to complete - and now multi-tasking is possible with the new interface.

E-commerce features were added to aid in selling using ClickCartPro.  The entire tax system was re-vamped to allow for option-level adjustments and support for multi-tiered and EU systems was added.  We added cool things to the checkout like the option to change accounts, and the option for custom surcharges.  Support was added for cool new XMODs that will release shortly which handle Advanced and Batch Order Management and RSS Feeds.  We added support for file uploads as product options and modified the QuickBooks export to handle inventory.  Changes were made to discounts to allow for application with or without shipping and we upgraded display management using a new skin system that has widgets which can be added and managed.

The entire platform was rebuilt to become faster, leaner, meaner and easier to extend.  It was re-architected from it's foundation.  The result was ClickCartPro 7, a platform which is comprised of application components which manage system, store and cms tasks efficiently and seamlessly.  Everything is now integrated and now the entire system is easily extendable. ClickCartPro 7 is the result of Kryptronic listening to it's users over the past two and a half years and building upon the principles which made ClickCartPro 6 strong.

We've also integrated with Joomla!.  The Joomla! community should be pretty happy about that.  That's because when it's released, ClickCartPro 7 will be the best standalone e-commerce system available - and it will tie into their favorite CMS.

ClickCartPro users will be happy about it too.  Our focus hasn't changed - we're committed to providing you with the best software for the job.  We're committed to making the most stable, secure and reliable software available to you for your online store.  We're committed to your success.  That's one reason we don't push releases out before they're ready.

ClickCartPro 7 is ready.  Are you?

The next year is going to be very exciting here at Kryptronic with plenty of new software being made available for ClickCartPro 7.  A new era is upon us.

Can you tell I'm very excited about this one?  On schedule or not.
