I hope by the time 1.6 will be released it's more viable to do this.Xsecrets wrote:well that's certainly something that can be done by a third party, but if it was put in by default there would be a huge uproar. If you look around the forums you'll see that there are still alot of people here who complain about IE6 issues even stupid ones like the admin not looking right in ie6, so if you went and completely broke the layout for all older browsers I think there would be massive blowback.Julian wrote:HTML5 and CSS3 powered template would be cool.
I certainly feel that having a mobile store front will find many takers.
a mobile store front would be a very interesting option, but I don't know so much about admin.atulagarwal56 wrote:How about having mobile version of OC. Both store front as well as the admin. I know that there is mobicart, but am not very sure if that is a solution which many store owners would want to use.

I have done the mobile detection on my website. you can check m.teesort.comXsecrets wrote:well there's some javascript in the checkout, but that shouldn't be an issue in any phone you would want to be shopping from. It should be easy enough to do a mobile theme. I actually played with the idea a while back, but got busy with other stuff an never finished. My idea was to create a mulit-store with m.blah.com and put the mobile theme there. The only problem with that is that then you need a wildcard ssl A better solution would be to put in just a bit of browser detection code and kick the person over to the mobile theme automatically.
Right now its only a static html page I made for mobile phone. I did this taking help from a tutorial online.
vqmod is nice don't get me wrong but I've worked on another project before that has a plugin system that suits Xsecrets description better. i suggest looking at the pulgin system that is running in PFSense web interface http://www.pfsense.org/ this is much easier and hassle free to use. What xsecrets is suggesting is to have a real package management system along the lines of RPM, Ports or Apt-Get. having a system like that would go along way and make the task of novice administering that less daunting.Daniel wrote:Xsecrets wrote:plugins should be at the minimum bundled up into one file with an admin control where you can browse that file and install it track what plugins are installed etc. If it can be made to link back to the extension store so the users don't have to download the extension first even better. Look at pretty much any CMS on the market none of them require you to unzip the extension and upload all the files separately. The end user many times has no idea what ftp is. If you wanted to take it farther looking into hooks and class overrides would be good, but with the current situation most of this can be gotten around with vqmod, but of course that is not in the core distribution at this point either. Basically it needs to be made much easier for a non technical user to install extensions.
yes i was thinking about adding vqmod to the core. only well tested plugins would be available to purchase directory via the admin.

Well yes and no. I was thinking about a gui management system, but it would utilize vqmod to allow plugins to make changes to core files. Someone recently released a gui management for vqmods, but the system needs to be expanded to include packages so that you can have new files as well. I think daniel understands what I am proposing.zeroevil wrote: vqmod is nice don't get me wrong but I've worked on another project before that has a plugin system that suits Xsecrets description better. i suggest looking at the pulgin system that is running in PFSense web interface http://www.pfsense.org/ this is much easier and hassle free to use.

then i would highly suggest looking at the pfsense package management system at http://www.pfsense.org/. maybe it will give everyone some ideas on how it should operate, run & etc. etc. I just love the idea of just running thru a list of free/commercial clicking on a button and installing a mod without having to edit any files manually. such a system i think would really set OC apart from everyone else out there.Xsecrets wrote:Well yes and no.

sorry, but things like this are far to specific to be included in the core. Things like this aimed at a small subset of sellers should be handled as mods.unclek wrote:For Image Options, the ability to have a generic product option such as "Fabric" (a select with an image preview), but that does not need to have specific option values specified - options values apply across all products that have the Fabric options specified.

also it would great if opencart could keep compatibility between the new version and the old one.

I have to thank you all for this great software. It's a life saver to have a truly open source e-commerce that is so good.
You may have already think of this but I would like to suggest that a mobile compatibility is becoming more and more needed as in a few months or 1-2 year most people would do the shopping or some shopping from mobile devices.

I'm talking about the web interface "Application Layer" of pfsense not the os side of it. BSD is part of it but if you think about it in the long run using the OSI model OC & PF have the same elements, its just the former has less layers to deal with then the latter. But if you require only an app layer example only to draw from I think Joomla has a similar system.Xsecrets wrote:well there aren't many shopping carts with it, but pretty much every cms has it, so I think people have plenty of examples to pull from. besides pfsense is not really a good example at all. It's an OS not a program.

So basically when the OC time releases updates for Open Cart you can just update it via the admin panel. Similar to the the suggestion of adding an interface for MoD updates but for the cart itself.

- Make a Wizard to do the OpenCart update, like WordPress?
- Design an interface backoffice able to manage, add or edit translations added in later versions?
All users OpenCart administrator and users (custommers) are not English.

Given the way OpenCart works that would essentially amount to a "break my shop now" button for anyone who does any serious customization to their shop with modules, themes, extensions, etc.zeroevil wrote:So basically when the OC time releases updates for Open Cart you can just update it via the admin panel.
A better change might be breaking up OpenCart into bug fix releases (which could conceivably have some automation), feature releases, and version/core releases.
