Kryptronic Software Support Forum

My old eyes would go nuts looking at long page. I for one appreciate the sections; makes getting what I need to get to allot quicker.

Does CCP7 support google checkout?
and
I currently use CCP6 does this or CCP7 have an module to allow customers to leave reviews?
Thank you : )

Wowza, I guess I was alone on the "I like the all information on one page approach to adding new products"   Good thing I am adaptable and get to like change once I get used to it.

In regards to the post above wherein Dave mentions some things on the list for the next upgrade version or XMOD, can I suggest you alter the SiteMap XMOD to include submissions to Bing?  I am really excited that the SiteMap XMOD submits daily to google, yahoo, msn and ask, but it seems this Bing thing has jumped into the picture.   I know when checking my analytics, I see lots more people coming from Bing than from msn or ask.

Thank you to all above who took the time to comment on my comments.  I appreciate the opportunity to see how CCP users think.  My concerns when asking about the several pages instead of the old system one page is that Kyptronics is now rebuilding both of my sites and it is up to me to put in all of my products and product information (price, description, tags, keywords, related categories, etc) and going page to page is going to increase my input time by at least twice.
However, for modifications, the several page system will definitely make it easier and faster once we learn what page is for what information.
And yes, the spreadsheet method would be better but I have no idea how to create and upload the information from a spreadsheet to the software so I will put in products one by one.   Ahhh, computer illiteracy.

I'd like to ask why we're still using names like... System components, Website components and store components..and my favourite ... namespace..(whatever the hell that means  !!!)
Why when i've looked at other carts (while I was waiting for V7) and quite frankly havent needed any tutorials because they were quite self explanatory, do I look at Clickcartpro and think... WTF does that mean ???...
Having played with CCP7 it doesnt look too much like CCP6 apart from the separate windows.. nothing seems to have moved on.... it may be me.. and if so, sorry, but i really thought CCP7 would break through the "built for techies" barrier and allow non techies to actually understand what goes on without having to resort to the manual..
I've said it before.. its time to listen to what your customers want, not what you want or you think we want.....
Its not meant to be a downer... its just that if CCP is going to progress.... someone from CCP  (with no beind the scenes knowledge to play "I'll be the customer and try and  use CCP"

If I had a problem, and this is with all of them, is that the submit button is always out of reach. In 5 and 6 it was at the bottom causing one to scroll all the way to the bottom when changing a field at the top of the page.

I found that a way around that problem was to click in a nearby small text box, wherever you are on the page, and press the Enter/Return key on the keyboard

I'm on board with dh783. Only, instead of using a spreadsheet, I simply perform queries via the phpMyAdmin page. And, I wrote my own product submission form to shorten the data entry process. Example, my products codes are numerical, like 88-1234, where 88 is my drop shipper and 1234 is the related product code. All my sm, lg and xl images match the product codes. In my form, I just add two numbers, 88 to represent the dropshipper and 1234 for the product. Using 'join' in php, it takes the two pieces of code and creates the product id, and using the same method creates the file names for each image. The form even automatically retrieves the matching email to the dropper code  and inserts that. A lot of the data related to a product's entry into the db is repetative, or related to known variables, s sometimes its a matter of 'if...else" or similar php code. I can easily add a product, filling in all the variables, on a form that fits above the fold of the browser...including the Submit button

And..this part I love...when I need to add similar products from the same drop shipper and only need to change the product code and a bit of the description, all I have to do is go back in the browser (Firefox 3.5.1), make the changes and hit Submit again. Now THAT's something that CCP Admin cannot do. And its what prompted me to write my little submission form.

Though I still use CCP Admin for a quick edit. As for scrolling in CCP Admin to bget to the SUbmit button, again, like kidsandco, I simply look for the nearest single line text field or radio button and hit the enter key.

Many of us non-techie types understand and appreciate your frustration neglet.  Still, I think CCP7 has many features that make it better than CCP6.   And those few times I will need something modified that requires computer code language (HTML, XHTML, php, CSS, Ajax, and lord knows what else) I will just get my webmasters to do it.
neglet, if you really looked at several off the shelf shopping carts, I KNOW you did not find the beat all to end all.
What makes CCP special is the support and service.  When you need help, are they there to give you a hand?
So far, I am pleased as punch.
