Essential Mods for CubeCart 4

Posted on January 30, 2008

Estelle has two CubeCart modifications that I would consider essential for any serious store owner.

Firstly, Advanced Contact Forms - any store has a basic requirement for customers to make contact with the store owner.
Like cForms II for Wordpress, which I am also a great fan of, Estelle has managed to create a fully flexible form creation package. I purchase a copy for every store I put live.

The interface is extremely simple to use and the front end view is gorgeous, even in it's default CSS.
You can even add reCAPTCHA to combat spam, so at $19.99 it is well worth purchasing.

Secondly, what I consider a necessity, Force Selection of Product Options. It solves several CubeCart 4 short-comings where it stops the customer adding items to the basket without selection and required product options.
You can chose which options will be forced and nice warning messages will fade in.

It's really nice to see other modders start to use the Prototype/scriptaculous libraries bundled in CubeCart 4.
