eastcoastsupremacy Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Hello all, I am new to this software, but know my way around php fairly well. I was wondering if anyone can break down for me if there are any bugs or anything that are ABSOLUTE MUST FIX'S before i begin really working on customizing the shopping cart system. From the looks of this forum, it seems like the bugs are endless, and im trying to decide if this is the best solution. I'm not scared of troubleshooting, but the code to develop this system is extremely bulky and confusing... Is there anything that i shoudl ABSOLUTELY fix before beginning my customization? like common bugs that will perhaps be fixed in the next release? so far i havent had any real bug issues or anything, but i also am still working with the default set up of the application. Not looking for an answer, but more or less just some advice before beginning my journey into the oscommerce world. Thanks in advance The bossman.

Most of the bugs are from improper installation of contributions. Most of the contributions that have been found to have bugs have updates or scripts that customers have written in order to fix. If you feel confident in your ability to properly code it really isn't all that much of an issue and problems can be solved rather simply. The only thing I would say is to secure your site.
