As far as trying to ram something down people's throats .... gee, I didnt think that an non-emotional discussion could get so emotional on your part - especially when you violate the terms here at SuN by calling folks complete idiots simply because they have a difference of opinion or are asking questions. I find it amazing that the "gurus" here are so closed minded and have not even contacted Spads.com to understand more about AppleCart - I guess the gurus are just soooooo smart - that they already know it ALL !!

I have gone the the site and found it not too helpful to learn about the program, what it can or can not do. There is a list of lastest features .

As for SUN's terms of use... I think this thread is way off track from the original post. Maybe a new thread to compare ecommerce solutions would have been a better forum.

The biggest problem I have with this prolonged dialogue is you keep saying the same thing over and over again... and keep spewing the same misrepresentations over and over again. Thus, it is not helping SUN members.

In an effort to end the spread of misinformation, this is my last post on this matter.

Respectfully submitted, Roland

First of all, the term "guru" is an acknowledgement of a level of expertise far above others here. It was never intended to degrade or demean anyone. It was simply an attempt to identify those that have skills far superior than us "peasants".

No need to run away - I simply was asking for some real life examples where price changes can be made within the ZenCart or osCommerce style store to multiple items - without have to go each and every item.. In other words, a "Global Search and Replace" for a difined group of products. (Now thats a real life application within retailing !!)

There is also another thread going in the Sales area heree in the forums talking about customer discounts based upon a customer profile - and the use of accumulating sales history to impliment those multiple level discounts. (Again, thats a real life application that in fact CraigL was asking about.) And Roland you even admitted that your ZenCart application did not offer such a feature.

So why be so closed minded - when in your bag of tools not only would you be able to offer your ecommerce clients your ZenCart solution - but also be able to offer another solution with the AppleCart Shopping Cart and Data Base Management System.

Well thats pretty obvious, because it has been the "3 Amigos" here that have shown just how closed minded some of the "gurus" are - when it comes to other shopping cart solutions.

So now, rather than providing actual web sites that are using the things theat the "3 Amigos" have posted about ... the 3 Amigos "pick up their marbles and go home".

I can understand passion in your positions ... but somehow this entire scenerio reminds of Ann Coulter's book ... "How to Argue with a Liberal and Win". In her book she outlines that when a Liberal's arguements fall flat on their face ... since their arguements and positions are based solely on emotion - then Liberals will attempt to go "personal" (like TwighlightPics did with his "idiots" comment) or Liberals will run away (like you and Roland have done)

I'm not saying that the 3 Amigos are Liberals ... I'm just saying that it reminds of Ann Coulter's analysis of  Liberals.

Again, all I'm asking for is a few web sites where they are using an either osCommerce or ZenCart - that offers a "Global Search & Replace" for multiple price changes - since that function is a common retailer practice (both for bricks & mortar as well as on-line stores.)

Let it go.  If someone wanted to inquire about Apple Cart, they would have done so by now. 

A good suggestion to you, would be to start an Apple Cart blog.  Then the people that wish to read about it can.

Good luck in your biz
