Joomla & E Commerce

@Kevin Morrison You could try looking here.

EastCoast took the trouble to reply when you decided to pick up on a post he made eight months ago. Seems pretty courteous to me and it would be a benefit to us all if you could respond in kind.

Check the link. Over 800 exploits for the joomla system versus 200 for wordpress. A handful for more modern cms systems. I guess when you’re a joomla ‘enthusiast’ when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Don’t take it personally because you have an emotional attachment to a popular (but in my opinion old fashioned and not very good) bit of software.

Exploit-db was one of the databases I had in mind, but I chose not to link it because I generally feel these kind of sites are generally better not publicised, there are enough script-kiddies out there already. There are other sites such as the now defunct milworm, the exploit lists scanned for by pen testing software, and also lists of hacked sites… any of these will back up my contention, I could spend the time linking all these up but as you’re happy with Joomla it’d be pointless me trying to dissuade you from using it.

<starwars> These are not the joomla exploits we are looking for. You can go about your business. Move along </starwars>

the new virtumart v2.0 was made available from March 20011, for joomla 1.5* and joomla 1.7.

Joomla is really a great CMS to choose. As one of our friend said that almost 3% websites are run on Joomla, yeah its great to have a website on this open source. But for ecommerce use Joomla is not that good (Pardon me Joomla lovers, I love it too). Instead one should choose oscommerce to have better implementation.

Joomla is good but it can be pain sometimes. Definitely not ecommerce solution. I think solutions that offer both capability are coming. :slight_smile:

I think after nine months, if the OP hasn’t returned, they’re not that interested.
