Apsona ShopAdmin - a free tool for import/mass update/reporting

[delia]

They have found a money maker (salesforce) so they just simply have a totally difference business now. Since it is their server that it involved, unless they decide to give it away to someone else, it's out of our hands. It's the backend on the server that is the real working part to this.

Yeah, I don't like the way this is heading. My contact there hasn't worked with the store admin in a long time but I might approach them about taking over. Don't know if I want it...

One of the files you got is apsona_config.php - if you've never changed anything since you got it, then you need to make changes to your files as noted in this thread.

Well, I don't know the numbers of people that would be willing to pay to use it, but I would pay for it. Knowing what I know now about it, I would have purchased it for $50 - $100... I know that's not a lot, but I'm broke. haha.. I bought Conner's Advanced Shipper, and it's worth every penny. If you could find a way to charge for service, that would be good. deleted the last part of this post because I didn't see your post above. thanks.

Yeah, I was thinking they would move to a paid module at some point but it never happened.

I have been in contact with them, and the page is back up now.

They do intend to keep it running albeit with no support.
No, they cannot release it to the community as it has a great deal of their current codebase included.

They are in a different market now, they found the zen cart/oscommerce/open cart users didn't want to pay for anything...so they have put that development down to experience.

If it ever does disappear, I have a good friend who does something similar with reporting and he would come up with an equivalent if given a large sum of money!

Thanks delia, and everyone else too. I finally got my ShopAdmin up and running again. I REEEEEEEEALLY appreciate it!!!!!!!

I finally got my ShopAdmin up and running again.

Great...and did you need to do anything that is not already detailed in this thread?

[Johnnycopilot]

Well, if I had to fix it again, I would follow instructions better.. ha. But seriously, no. Everything I needed is here in this thread. Don't forget, if your Admin is secure, change those 2 files!

It seems like service.apsona.com is down. Does anyone know if this is the end of Apsona?

I was assured just about 10 days ago that they had no intention of getting rid of the server. I'm hoping that they are just having issues and it will be back up later.
