I hesitate to ask what may be a ridiculous question; however, I need
to know the following: Can I utilize the ETP package for modifying
ecommerce page content? And if so, how? I didn't see too much in the
way of documentation. TIA!

Hello,

I don't see why that's necessary. After all if you're running an
ecommerce site - all you need to really feature are your products
and the product templates/product administration in the Ecommerce
Package can help you with that.

However, if you are running a marketing/ecommerce site - it might
make more sense to mount ETP as a separate subsite from ecommerce.

Lack of knowledge of the OpenACS system is plentiful when it comes to my understanding of its concepts, features, and implementations. In the spirit of MVC, templating, cobranding, et. al., I was fantasizing that the EDT technology would magically expose edit links in the other packages while in admin mode (I think I'm beginning to sound delusional.) In other words, it would offer web based editing for content and script (now, I think what I'm asking for would compromise the code base of the package.)

Hamilton, thank you for your reply. I'll revisit template/product component of the ecommerce package.
