NYCPHP Meetup

[Herbert M. Tucker]

Hi Christopher and Stephen,
Thanks for your feedback.
@ Christopher: I'll give Tienda a look over. Do you have an  example site I
could look at utilizing it?
@ Stephen: Have you used or heard any feedback about the OpenCart ports like
JooCart or JHShop?
Cheers!
Herb

If you want a joomla solution
Tienda
http://dioscouri.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&
id=167&Itemid=410

If not joomla
http://www.magentocommerce.com/

Magento has a community edition, it is really powerful but ti doesn't fair
very well on cloud or some virtual hosting solutions

if you only have a cart, and very simple cms needs and a good server magento
is the way to go. 

If you need more complex CMS needs, like a forum, blog, you should check out
tienda

redShop can solve your problems.

OpenCart is easy to use and stable. I have used it for a couple sites -
collectible plates and a vintage book store, but I don't think it can handle
14,000 items, but it might as you can make product categories. The problem
with OpenCart is it has limited CMS. You can create pages, but content
management is not nearly as good as Joomla or WordPress.

If you have the time, I would try Magento. I have played around with it, and
it is an enterprise-grade e-commerce system (think Amazon-level), but it is
complicated and there is a learning curve.
