This last update erased all calls to the fck editor. I "updated" to the ck editor but can't stand it. Spent an hour writing fck back into incprods.php and all is well again.
Can you put it back for people who liked it?
The fck editor never did play really well with <ecttab>'s (copy/pasting in the WYSIWYG would create a new tag pair), but the ck editor destroys them completely; moving the tags around to completely wrong places.
Also, new Froala code?

Froala is currently the best editor we have tried and it should be coming very soon.
I have looked at their website and it's awesome. Looking forward to this one for sure.

Well that's a bummer!  I was looking at this to use on the front end for customers to create personalized text for some products, it looked like it can be called with javascript. I guess I better take a closer look.  |

Since PHP runs just as well on Windows it would make sense to focus just on PHP and drop the asp version.
That way we would all get updates, fixes and new features much more quickly.

Not to mention the (many) thousands of $$$ invested in additional apps to handle other tasks that are tied to our .asp version.  Eventually I guess something will need to be done. As for the new editor, I have been testing it as a way for customers to create personalized products and I am thinking I can get any images the customer provides to upload to our Amazon S3 account maybe. They have a .php example for that. I do like that editor though. |

Migration to PHP is really not that hard... Did it a few years ago and used a simple ASP to PHP re-direct in apache however it is hardly even required if already using the ECT SEO config.
With say one or two years advanced notice that ASP will transition to stability releases only then everyone will have plenty of time to migrate... and you can even offer a migration service.
With two sets of code and feature sets that are already diverging it will only get worse over time and trying to keep both sets of code closely aligned then a great many of the advantages of the inbuilt library's of either PHP or ASP are lost without the focus on just one.
It is so very clear that development is more complex, restricted and convoluted with two sets of code which only results in progress being much slower, costly and inefficient than it need be.
At some point something's got to give... let it not be your customers who will eventually out grow your platform if progress is not matched with competing platforms.
Everyone benefits in the long term by phasing out ASP over time and it should be very seriously considered indeed... after all it is not by accident that the top 5 Ecommerce platforms by market share are PHP only.
Discarding the emotion on either side of the argument it is clear the logical and correct business decision is to focus on just the one set of code to better serve customers and their customers.
