Hi,
I’m starting two projects using CS-Cart. I really like Admin sections and smarty templating system used.
What I don’t like is CS-Cart documentation: user documentation is really poor (it doesn’t add a word to user interface) and developer documentation is simply absent.
This is a big problem if you need to start a project in a couple of week.
I tried to ask CS-Cart’s support, but it seems they need 20 days to start a minimal personalization project…
The question is: if they cannot support too much projects why not investing some hours in creating a basic developer manual?

i’m currently working on a development manual but like everything else in the world sometimes their are more important things to spend your time on so ETA is unknown…
development wiki, maybe?
well i have 3 personalization projects that are being worked on right now
they told me they need 15 days before they can start
but 1 has been completed and it’s been like 4 days for that one
I think it’s talking them longer now since they are probably working on the new version of cs-cart
but if it does take 15 days then i think it’s fair I should get 15 days more support period :lol:
And also make sure that your projects work with the next edition of CS-Cart, or you will be paying out many more dollas. :rolleyes:
I think they should at least tell us a time frame of when the next version will be out
I really wish there was an online tutorial wiki…especially for working with the template setups. I know CSC team has a design doc but it’s not finished, nor is it very in-depth. The great thing about wikis is that users can add info so if CSC doesn’t have time to create one all us of can contribute.
Templating is not difficult: the smarty website is complete and well documented.
There you can find most of your answers.
But for exampe I replaced cs-cart buttons with images. I wanted to know how to obtain language session code to create images for different language.
I couldn’t find it. Then I decided to use a new translation to store language code, but this solution is not a clean one.
If you try to develop a new addon you need to access information easily.
A document in javadoc style would be a good start.
A wiki could be also useful.
