Moving to Drupal

Our main site and our shopping cart are moving to Drupal with Ubercart. We are going to continue using WordPress for our web log and will post information about the site move here. Those of you that are our customers who have used our shopping cart in the past may have to re-register when the new shopping cart is in place. We are going to attempt to migrate the old database to the new shopping cart. However, this may not work.

We are doing a “destroy and rebuild” as that appears to be the clearest and cleanest route for moving forward. The old www.eracc.com was quite clunky and becoming very outdated. With this move to Drupal we expect to be able to offer a much nicer web site at www.eracc.com as well as a more robust shopping cart system with Ubercart.

Existing or new customers that need to contact us for upgrades, new software, parts and computers please use <sales at eracc dot com>. We will be glad to quote pricing through e-mail the same as in the past.

Edit Sun Oct 5 22:09:55 UTC 2008: With Drupal we plan to have public content and private content. The private content will be available only to customers and/or subscribers to the web site. Customer files that were held in static areas in the past will be moved to Drupal content and protected by requiring a login ID and password. This will allow ERACC to place customer licenses online for easy retrieval in the event a customer loses a license and needs another copy.
