CF Webstore
Thanks to all for the comments about AbleCommerce. Based on what we're hearing and looking at the CFDJ readers survey CF Webstore looks like a reasonable alternative. If anyone has used CF Webstore and modified the code let me know what you think. Another consideration is whether it can handle a large amount of traffic. Hopefully a good package would use CFTRANSACTION processing for reliability.

CF WebStore
Having looked at various options for online transactions and credit card processing, CFWebStore seems to be were it is at. Could someone who uses CFWebStore, tell me whether it will facilitate customer online order tracking? That is to say, a facility whereby a customer can login to their own account to check order status, despatch status etc. etc.. like e.g. like Amazon. This is almost a defacto requirement these days, and the customer feels alot more confident having ready access to such information. Thanks.

RE: CF Webstore
i have put up 4 e-commerce sites with cfwebstore, and have one in process: one uses it only for the backend, have made alot of addons/mods to certain areas, v3.12 one is v3.02, 2 are v4, one will be v4.5 other than needing a visio chart for program flow, i've found it reasonable to modify - and with v4.5 using cflock extensively, as long as you use a solid db - NOT access - you should do ok - mary jo could probably tell you which customers have the biggest trafficked sites - email me offline if you would like the url's ~~ Your ad could be here.

Re: CF Webstore
I guess you're right that there are other ways to accomplish the same goal. A different method for scalability might be better for us especially if it works well with MySQL which apparently does not support CFTRANSACTION. We've been using MySQL and find it easy to work with, but weren't sure if it is the best solution for our e-commerce. I think CFWebstore can use any database.

RE: CF Webstore
The CFTRANSACTION tag is used to bundle multiple queries into a single transaction so that the queries can be committed or rolled back as a group.

RE: CF Webstore
MySQL will work... and work well... ideally, you will have some workaround/redefining to do since some things most of us take for granted are not supported... they have a large client base with usage across many industries... The cftransaction workaround will be an interesting one... as with most things you can't yet do by default in MySQL... surely there is a longer more pure way to likely achieve the same thing... -paris -Original Message- From: C Runyan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 14:05 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF Webstore I guess you're right that there are other ways to accomplish the same goal.

Dito. The purpose of the sql transaction command as he said is to make groups of sql statements what is technically called "atomic". This is absolutely crucial in real-world enterprise environments. Any database that doesnt support transaction rollbacks I tend to sneer at as being a toy. --min ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

I think that what Jon meant (and I kind of agree with him, if this is in fact what he meant) is that transactional processing should be handled within the database, as opposed to within the application. So, rather than using CFTRANSACTION, you'd put your transactional processing within a stored procedure, and simply call that from CF. Of course, maybe he meant something else entirely.

RE: CF Webstore
Ah, yes, in that sense, I would agree with him, too, from a performance stand point. It still might be preferable to use CFTRANSACTION and rely on ColdFusion's inherent database abstraction when building a packaged application or any other application that could be expected to run against different databases. I still don't believe that an application that uses CFTRANSACTION is necessarily a bad one, as Jon stated. Perhaps there are some issues with CFTRANSACTION I'm not aware of though? In any case, I hadn't considered Jon's statement from the performance standpoint when comparing the use of CFTRANSACTION to its native equivalents. Benjamin S.
