Cubecart – some things to consider

After building a website using the Cubecart software I have made the following observations.

On the front end:

• The search results page doesn’t have any text for when your search turns up no results.
• When you add an item to the basket there is no obvious visual clue that the item was added successfully.
• Longer product options in the dropdowns are cut off.
• The thumbnail images randomly disappear.

In the admin area:

• When editing a product or it’s options clicking submit takes you back to the main product list, this makes editing very long winded.
• Tidying orphaned thumbnails deletes any thumbnails whose larger image is contained in a subfolder.
• Adding extra images to products involves searching through all of your uploaded images.
• The setting for maximum file size for uploaded images is apparently ignored.
• Image file names are not tidied, i.e spaces converted to underscores, etc.
• There is no facility for adding alt tags to the uploaded images.
• The stock level works on a whole product, not on specific options with that product.
