I've been trying out 1.6 on a local machine to see if it would be suitable for use on a project and everything looks good, but I have some questions and would appreciate any answers/help you can give.
(My current webhost only supports .NET 3.5, so the latest version of nopCommerce is not available to me until they upgrade - or with a change of host if the benefits are great enough)
1) I see options that can be enabled in the web config file to enable shared SSL but this aspect of hosting is new to me. Please could someone explain which parts of the application should be uploaded where when my host only allows shared SSL folders, and what should be set in the config file so that most of the site runs over http and the login and checkout functions alone would run over https?
2) Is it possible to enter all of my product details into the local version of the site and then upload everything to the host (as opposed to doing all of the initial work on the live site)?
3) Is the same thing possible with the configuration options? I've spent a lot of time tweaking things to make sure that nop is suitable for what I need and would prefer to be able to import this to a live site than have to go through all the settings again ;)
I apologise if these questions are answered elsewhere, I have tried to search but the posts I've found haven't really answered properly what I need to know.
nopCommerce looks like a really good piece of software and should I be able to get a site up and running with it I'll definately be making a contribution - very good work, thanks to the programming team :)
Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide - Regards.
