advise needed

[gasemans]

I am going to create a small webshop for some art work.
Nothing fancy

now i am looking for a shop module.

I have tryd to install cart,shop made simple and some others.
Checked several others like shop made better but that one hasnt got a release

I am using cmsms 1.7.1 to test things
if needed then i can switch to the latest version
just installed this one because i still had it local on the HD

[so what?]

You'll need the modules:

• CGExtension
• CGSimpleSmarty
• Products
• Cart
• FrontEndUsers
• SelfRegistration
• CGPaymentGatewayBase
• Orders
• PaypalGateway (optional)

but most important:

the Book "CMS Made Simple 1.6 Beginner's Guide" (https://www.packtpub.com/cms-made-simple-1-6-beginners-guide/book) which shows you on about [Update] 14 34 [/Update] pages how to add a web-shop to your site. The above list of needed modules is from it .

It's worth every penny. If you don't believe me read the comments on http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/2010/03/10/book-cms-made-simple-1-6-beginners-guide/.

Don't worry about it describing CMSms V1.6. It will work with your version too. But I suggest you update to at least 1.8.1 since this release fixes an important security vulnerability and the CMSms dev-team recommends that ALL users upgrade as soon as possible. But while you update anyway why not go straight to the latest 1.8.2?

[Update] Sorry for the typo. There are 34 pages about setting up a web shop in the book. [/Update]

This blog post from calguy1000 is well worth a read through too. Bit of an oldie but still a goodie.
