Re: [cgiapp] E-commerce frameworks - DMart, OSCommerce

["Bill Catlan" <suppressed>]

Interesting thread ... I apologize for the delay in my joining it!

I have made some progress on the DMart Perl Commerce Framework, or DMart PCF.

I am satisfied with the configuration module, the display module, the state 
manager (for uniform getting / setting of cookies, form variables, session 
variables, program runtime variables, and configuration variables), and the 
login manager.  Ironically, while a design is in place, I have not yet 
implemented / integrated the commerce stuff (cart / credit card auth handlers / 
tax calculator)!  Still, I am very close and I am looking for the time and 
opportunity to finish these pieces.  I anticipate that they are about 4 weeks of 
full time development away.

You can view a demo page at http://dmdemo.distens.com, but don't expect a fully 
polished demo.  Its really more of a testing environment.  What you will be 
looking at is the display module being able to integrate variable data at any 
template level.  Thus the "main" page and / or "modules" can display error 
messages or other variable data without excessive work by the programmer.  The 
core templates support "context messages" (the green boxes) and "error messages" 
the red boxes for communicating with the user.  Of course, custom templates are 
unlimited in what they can display, but this is just some "built-in" capability.
