It is not possible to say that it is build in a poor way, but it is possible to see the different styles (mostly it is expected for the open source sofware). Most of the things are build in SEO friendly way and it is very good, but in the same time I see the tables (when it is not required) and some strange code (when it can be much more short). If the strange code can be explained by the software structure, the tables are the examp… text/html 2015-11-28T23:25:22+00:00 https://www.arscommunity.com/wiki/articles/about-litecommerce?rev=1448753122 I believe you are know that this software is released by the Qualiteam, the X-cart is releasing by this company, so you should read the X-cart article firstly. The problems are common and I will talk about the difference only. The Litecommerce software is build on clases and I think that the structure is perfect.

Please read the article about [[articles:about-magento|Magento]. I think that the OsCommerce is worse by every parameter and there are only 2 reasons to use it. * If you are going to customize the cart your self and you are beginner in it. It is much more easy to understand this software and there are enough documentation. * If you are using it already. text/html 2015-11-28T23:25:23+00:00 https://www.arscommunity.com/wiki/articles/about-xcart?rev=1448753123 Comparison of the X-cart software with Magento/OsCommerce/Litecommerce text/html 2015-11-28T23:25:23+00:00 https://www.arscommunity.com/wiki/articles/dokuwiki-exclude-pages-from-google-sitemap?rev=1448753123 You should look into the <dokuwiki dir>lib/exe/indexer.php file.

I think it is not a point to be limited so or use the slow software, so we should look what is possible to make here. Firstly we should understand why it is so slow. As you know the litecommerce is based on the objects and each product/cart item/order/etc is such object. As the result when you try to find 100 products, the system is creating 100 objects of the product.

Ajax estimator will allow your customers to receive shipping rates without page reloading. First, you have to download the jquery lib and include it to your page.

This advanced integration will allow to use the same accounts on the X-Cart and Joomla. The idea of the user integration is pretty easy - we have to disable one software user registration/authentication and make everything with the second software. Since the X-Cart is primary in our basic integration, we will disable the Joomla things. text/html 2015-11-28T23:25:29+00:00 https://www.arscommunity.com/wiki/articles/x-cart-joomla-integration?rev=1448753129 The basic integration of the Joomla and X-Cart software is allow to integrate the layouts the same way as the well know X-Cart - WordPress integration do.

In some of WordPress modules the script execution is stopped within the module scripts. It can happen due to a number of reasons, the main one - a separate page layout of the module.

If the file name is different - just use your own script name below. text/html 2015-11-28T23:25:31+00:00 https://www.arscommunity.com/wiki/articles/x-cart-wordpress-integration?rev=1448753131 If you would like to have WordPress blog displayed on your X-Cart store pages, that is rather easy to do.
