My fellow developer and good friend Scott over at www.thatsoftwareguy.com has come up with an interesting system to allow discounts up to 100% on products when purchasing other products. For example, you can set up: Give 100% discount on “The Matrix Reloaded” when purchasing “The Matrix”. In this way, it is like giving a free… Read More »
Here’s the next script that I need a couple of testers for, a cleanly coded “Header Tags” module for Adwords Conversion Tracking, written for 2.3 series of osCommerce. This basically installs very easily, like any other header_tags module and allows you to track your adwords conversions on a order by order basis. What do you… Read More »

Yesterday I was asked by a client to create quite a complicated shipping module. The module (now it’s completed) is a mash up of zones (but by states not countries), by weight per kilo and half kilo, via two separate couriers. It basically covers 3 different zones, in zones 1 and 2 are a number… Read More »
Today I had a client who needed HT SEO installed on a site – no real problems as it’s a nice contribution that is well maintained by Jack MCS. However this client is running a Template Monster template, which, as we all know, is the epitome of crap coding… However, the installation was made. To… Read More »
