  Wait until the bugs get fixed - if they ever do, February 20, 2008 |

There is so much hype about this app and when you look at it, it really does look good.
Problem is, there are severe problems in the core of this app. Problems that have been posted on the developer's forum since last year, yet still not addressed nor even replied to.
The two biggest problems are:
1. Import of CSV product data does not work.
2. If using sales tax, pricing does not work!!!
If you're only having a dozen products or so, you may be able to live with not being able to import your products - but the developer has been aware of this bug for over a year and hasn't fixed it.
Random pricing? Actually, random discount pricing! Sales tax is usually subtracted after being subjected to seemingly random math functions.
I'm a web developer/database guy and have installed hundreds of Joomla (and other) components, plug-ins, etc., so it's not like I'm some newbie user who doesn't read manuals.
One annoying bug in the /administrator/index2.php file will keep loggin you out, but is easily fixed by adding ob_start(); immediately after the first php tag (include the semi-colon).
Unfortunately, the other bugs aren't so easily fixed.
