CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi All.

So i'm going to try and set up an ecommerce site using CMSMS - a first for me. I have used Magento to do ecommerce in the past, but i dont like the product and the community is very disappointing. I think it might be that ultimately the creators want to sell you support... so you always seem to be moving closer to the center of that whirpool. Anyway...

I was wondering if this guide is still relevant?

EDIT: So i followed the guide i linked to and with the exception of Cart that i replaced with Cart2, it seems like it worked in much the same way.

I only have one issue: I don't see the option to actually add the item to my cart, but that could be a configuration thing.

Check out the cart template help because I think there is a smarty tag to place there that will show the add to cart action.

If you are using Products there is a Cart call at the bottom that is smarty commented out, uncomment it to see Add to cart...

I have tried both your suggestions. I found the commented out lines. I uncommented them. Didn't work. Searched for any commented out line in every possible template that seemed related - still no luck.

EDIT: Give your product a SKU. I noticed that the SKU was used in those lines you guys had me uncomment and that gave me this idea. Added SKU - button showed up.
