<snip..> and really has zero to do with MODx in particular.
That’s 100% true, but it seemed like an appropriate subject line for the "Flame Bait" forum ;-)

Or if the system is totally modular and people can choose whichever they want and easily editable and extensible so they can add whatever they like. I think that MODx is ideal for creating such a system, given that its modular framework and API already get you halfway there. SHOPx is an attempt to do this, but it’s been bogged down for quite a while in the chaos that is my life lately.
I started this thread to share what one half of my brain feels about the subject, but in truth, I agree with you ZAP. I think if I integrate my whole brain, then what I see as being possible is the creation of an
e-commerce framework, just like MODx itself is a framework. I keep seeing attempts at building "shopping cart systems", and these are what continually irk me, because they always feel like they’re supposed to be a solution for everyone, but built-in limitations are always lurking not so deep below the surface.
Creating an e-commerce framework is no small task. I have one started myself, but it’s a ginormous project, and like you, life-chaos does not create a suitable environment for me to plug diligently away at it.
Thanks for your thoughts guys.
