FEC vs. PWA

Dear Community;

 

I have spent several days looking at the options to purchasing with an account, however, I am confused. Do either FEC or PWA keep accounts as an option, or is it all or nothing? The boss wants both. Is there a third alternative that I haven't found?

 

Thanks.

I know that PWA gives the customer an option to continue without creating an account and FEC actually requires them to create an account, but makes the process quicker on the customer..

 

In my mind, i would rather have FEC because you are making the customer create an account and you WANT them to.. with PWA, the customer will almost ALWAYS choose continue without an account..

Another duestion: How do I open the files in FEC? I have downloaded them from the site, but I cannot get the files with the new php codes to open. I had this problem bedore. I was able to get some to open in Word, but not this time. Gelp! What do I do?

you need to download a php code editor.. I use dreamweaver, but you can easily use notepad + just google it for some downloads.. Doing ANY code changes in word is risky to say the lease, as word adds code that y ou dont even see for formatting and what not..

I noticed. I dl a program called ;EditRocket', but all I have gotten open so far is the first file. Looks like I have to get used to a new program.

 

Thanks for all your help. At least I feel I am going in the right direction now.

Dear Lindsay or whoever reads this:

 

I have been copying the files from FEC using a php editor I got on freeware. Everything seems to be going okay, but I have a few questions:

 

a) How do I open a .js file, as in global.js

B) what do I do with the file marked "global.js.bak

 

A little help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
