Hi guys
I do strongly agree with the Platform to work from, as a living I develop add on modules for an accounting system, all are built on top of the core financials system, I design the tables and relationship links, write the code logic, and layout the forms, but I find that DNN is not that easy to develop, so I have purchased several of the DNN Store "Solutions" from Snowcovered, non of which have some of the basic product attributes I would expect in a commercial package, although they are sold commercially, so this is my opinion, the better the base, the better the usability.
I love DNN and have two sites using it's many modules "Out the Box", I may in time be able to write a module to get what I want from a DNN store, from the base module, but this will be later down the line, as I have to learn "how to" first, but a lot of users will try the module, see it's limitations, buy several other "Solutions", then give up on DNN, because like me they do not have the skills to extend DNN.
I like to base a solution on real life, I walk in a store, lets say I pick up a shoe, not my size, go to the counter, "Do you have this in a size 11?", answer "Hold on Sir I will Check!", goes to the PC and searches for "Product ID" and "Size Variant" returns the Stock Quantity = 3, goes to the stockroom and I get my new shoes, the store gets a sale!
In the store module I have to set up each style and size as a different product, so I can make my stock available, or how else can I sell my "Variant" products online, shoes, dresses, or other multipacks
I don't sell any of these products, so these are just scenario's I am discussing, what I am looking for was a mulitple price option for the same product, photographic prints in various formats.
If I do build a generic solution, I shall make it free to use!
