Well, there we are - learned something new today!
The Dirty Little Secrets that no osCommerce template sellers want you to know...revealed...
Support is commercially available. The question is whether you value your business

Good to hear peoples differentiating opinions!
As I dont have the time to learn a new programming language, I can usually get by, with looking at examples of previous code, understanding the logic and then re-applying it.
As mentioned by others here, many people from different backgrounds, in regards to skill, knowledge and proficincy levels use OScommerce for their required needs.
Some as stated are HTML only peeps, other PHP peeps, and others like myself a mix of whatever we can get our hands on! LOL
Now, looking at the code base of OSCommerce, including addons, its quite clear that there is a mix and mash of various methods and techniques in achieving similar results.
Trying to pick up on things with this variation is not something that I have found easy to do.
Having more experience programing with .NET specifically C#, we were taught to keeps things modular, in the sence that HTML code is kept seperate from C# code, just as when coding with CSS, CSS separate from HTML.
Then we get what occurs in OSCommerce (and probs all other open source projects), a mix and mash!
Looking at PHP code is quite brain mashing (for me) as my eye and brain function has been trained to see things quite differently!
I cant say that I enjoy the mixing of code in PHP, but it is another challenge.......
PS I have things working as I wish, am actually modifying 2 different contributions, one which that is disabling cart functions whose code base is for RC2.2, the other contri is for RC2.3.1 but am modifying this to correspond with the disabling cart functions.
Will contact the authors of original contributions, when I have finished to see if they interested in having my code (kymation, one of the contributions is yours).
Oh and realised I posted this thread in the wrong section! Should have been posted in 2.x addons.....Doh!!
