wish lists

Hi Liana

We'll need to know more than that you're using Frontpage.

Forgive me if I sound patronising, but:

What operating system is your server using?

What database is storing your shopping cart?

What scripting language do your pages use to up date the shopping cart?

Do your users have to login to add items to the shopping cart?

I ask because a wish list stores the wish list in the database. A scripting language allows the list to be created, added to, edited and removed.

To match the user to the wish list there has to be a login process.

The operating system often defines what database and scripting languages you can use.


Personally I don't think this is a job someone without some web scripting and db experience can do easily.

Who built the shopping cart for you? Talk to them first.

Again forgive me if I've underestimated your web development skills.

Hingehead,
Thanks for your reply...you are about right in my knowledge of computer programming. I know just enough to be dangerous but not enough to know what I'm doing!

Currently we use MicroSoft's B-Central shopping cart, but because of some limitations we are going to use MivaMerchant. I have found out that Miva has a module that they can add for you.

Miva has the ability to have customers sign in and create accounts. B-Central does not. Both shopping carts will create the web pages for you what you input the information about your product into the wizards.

FrontPage we use for the pages that don't actually list the product, such as the home page, specials and "coming soon" pages.


I hope that I answered all your questions.
It might be just as easy for me to go with the module since then it would be a matter of using the wizards to manage the information.

Thanks for your input!! I greatly appreciate it.

Hi again, yep, if you've got an out of the box solution you should be talking to the people who supply it.

Cheers.
