FileCABINET

FileCABINET is a full featured shopping cart database ideal for software. We use this script at Intelliscript.net. Implement any pay system into it easily, enable RSS feeds, Froogle reports, OPML, instant PAD files, and more. As software designers, one of the challenges we face is keeping the information about our software accessable to our users. Our time is often taken up with updating PAD files, maintaining version numbers, generating accurate Froogle feeds, tracking updates, or managing mailing lists. FileCABINET takes our attention off of these mundane tasks, so we can concentrate on what we love: programming the software. FileCABINET centralizes information into one flat text database, so your data is always up-to-date. Live PAD files for quickly submitting your files to software and shareware sites are generated dynamically. Static HTML pages are created so that more search engines find your software easily. Meta tags like Title, Description, and Keywords are created automaticaly, as well as a static HTML index page which links to all the downloads in the database. An important plus is that though these pages are static, they still contain dynamic content, so making a change to a file's description is reflected immediately in your static pages! Everything is always up-to-date! FileCABINET also has a random display feature which allows you to highlight a different item every time a page is called. There are many fields included for each item, like a link to each products unique FAQ page, the download file, a trial page, an icon, two screen shots, a readme file, and more. A purchase shopping cart is built into it too! Add any payment system quickly and easily. Allow users to subscribe to an RSS feed, so that every time you update your software, their news-reader will let them know. Also allow your visitors to download an OPML file for subscribing to all programs in the database at once. Create a Froogle upload file in one step!
