Suggestion wish list for vbcart:

Ability to embed license information on products and compress folder of files on the fly (like vbulletin.com )

Would be good to e able to assign in admincp a string of text/code to look for in a file to append the license information.

For license information I refer to, userid, license info and time stamp

Ability to "Delay" (automatically if set to) the delivery of digital products to prevent paypal frauds.

I'm assuming if a payment by is charged back by paypal the cart will automatically lock the purchase.

Most of all I hope is all template based so that the look can be customised 100% :)

I hope it make sense :)

That and more ... already there

has built in anti fraud

I'm assuming if a payment by is charged back by paypal the cart will automatically lock the purchase.

yep and move to proper usergroup if successfull

Most of all I hope is all template based so that the look can be customised 100%

it's template driven.

vBcart is currently in use on this site. The main homepage is vbcart

Yeah ... but you sell styles, right? The current version encodes php on the fly and enforces licenses... which you do not need... so I have to make a trim down version

Maybe you should add an on/off switch for the license enforcing :)

I guess whatever it is easier for you and quicker to do.

I want to be able to edit the .xml files with the user information but you already said that you have already that function so i guess I will just have to wait on you for the actual release and pricing.



Just one more question.....
Currently my customers use the standard vbulletin subscription system for purchasing our styles.
Are you able to provide an import system for vbcart?

Thank you,
Miko

Sorry, no import .... I had no need for it, so I never looked into it.

But if you are dealing with styles, how will license info affects you? By vBulletin this is placed on top of every PHP, not xml!!!

Is that something that I could pay you to implement as moving hundreds of customers could be a very tedious job since i have just moved them from our old system....

We could talk about it ... we would need to 'marry' every customer with a specific style and an activation date

However, I want to make sure that you did not miss my post

I used to use a system (hard coded) that would simply search and replace content in any file extension i specified.

So for example i would enter the path of the actual file of folder where the skin files are located in my server.

and enter look for example:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">


and replace with:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">

#################
userid=$
license=$
date=$
#################



The script that i was using was made to enforce license like vbcart but the coder changed it a little to allow it to modify different file type than just php.

Hope it make sense :)

You can't enforce license on non php

Can that information be appended to the xml files?

It could. But just that will not 'enforce' license.

Licensing can be enforced 2 ways. Both ways are offered with vbcart and only work with PHP

1- Set script to specific domain before downloading it (the way we do it here)
2- Have the script do a call back to set domain and tie that domain to generated license, once or at preset weeks/months intervals. Interval is great for those leasing a script on a monthly basis, offering free trials or for whatever reason need to disable script remotely. Although this method is included with vbcart, we don't use it ourselves in our scripts.

I understand,
I think i was just confusing you, i know that i cannot enforce a license, all i need is be able to "TAG" the flies with the license info.

What about for those of us who want to sell published .PDF's? Would vBcart support this?
vBcover

you can deliver the zipped package 2 ways with vbcart. Pre-zipped from database or zipped on the fly

Superb. I will purchase all of your products, anytime. vBcart, vBherald -- they're all so exciting to me! Great work!

Sorry, I must have missed that post. It's 99% done for the full version, the one that I am currently using here for 3 months now, and 95% done for the light version which most likely will be suitable for most people. The difference is that the full version allows for licensing enforcement and will require you to purchase the ioncude encoder so you encode your files on the fly before delivery.

The bad news is my 7 years old daughter is with me and I am not doing much these days but spending some time with her....
