IWE Catalogue
You can buy it in the shop section of this site.
I will soon insert a download of the application with the possibility of requesting an evaluation license for a limited period.
Features
- It's made by implementing many design patterns but it's uses now also a few code to allow the system to be faster.
- This catalogue is made up by two modules, a frontend module and a backend (admin) one.
- It's also completely customizable (frontend, but also backend, if you are able to "play" with templates and css). The customization can be easily achieved editing the template files (html). Templates are located in the /template directory and have a .html file extension. All graphics are CSS managed, so you can edit the css files that you find in the /css folders located in the public directory.
- The system is PHP 4 compliant, even if I recommend you to use it in a PHP 5 environment, as it's never been tested on a PHP 4 server environment.
- It's been projected with several security concepts in mind: all the input is filtered and the output escaped, all core and library files are located in a private layer above the web server public directory, so the web server does not have sufficient permissions to allow someone to touch the core files. Among these files there are also all the backend files, so the backend is well protected.
- IWE Catalogue has also been setup with spiders indexing in mind, so it's got also a SEO friendly URLs engine that creates and parses .html pages for each catalogue's frontend request.
- This system has been optimized with bandwidth saving features in mind too: its WEB 2.0 interface is equipped with a strong caching engine (that for the frontend helps to speed up reading operation for both documents structure and media elements - images) and a full set of AJAX components that help bandwidth saving as well as usability in the backend. All these elements are built over a very advanced AJAX library (DOJO) and give also the system an up-to-date dress.
- Creating products categories is really easy from the backend, and IWE Catalogue lets you create infinite subcategories relationships with a powerful dynamic assignment engine.
- Products can be easily assigned to categories, and/or subcategories as well, from the backend.
Server requirements
I recommend to install this software on a *NIX OS server because of it's native permissions features.
Anyway, the machine on which you will install it should meet the following requirements:
- Apache webserver with PHP 4/5
- MySQL 4/5 database
- IonCUBE loader (bundled with the software package both for Linux and Windows) must be set in the php.ini.
- uploadprogress PECL PHP extension installed on your server http://pecl.php.net/package/uploadprogress/
a serious hosting company is a good starting point. Even a shared server can be a valid base to run IWE Catalogue, but take care of the services offered by your hosting provider: if they don't offer custom extensions installation you'd better try another one. A VPS or a dedicated server is recommended.
No assistance will be given if your server environment does not meet the above requirements.Licenses and additional information
Another important feature is the licensing system that helps customers to be sure that the product they have bought will work only on their domain and so cannot be stolen. Core files encoding increases also security avoiding malicious people to take unauthorized control of your catalogue application.
You can see a frontend DEMO here.
This Catalogue system is just born, so with time it could grow and it will be improved as more as possible. All customers that have bought a license of IWE Catalogue will be able to download minor releases updates and install them without any extra costs. For every questions related to this software or would you need further assistance in downloading, installing or even setup your IWE Catalogue, please contact me using the contact module on this website.
You can also buy an installation/configuration package consisting in remote installation on your own server: the price of this package starts from EUR 70.00 per unit. For receiving further information about it, please contact me.
