It'll be interesting to see the new code base and the business model.I hope there is a new framework that could draw in new developers. Devs like to work on cool stuffs. There's been a lot of cool stuffs since OSC and Phoneix--containerization, microservices, ElasticSearch, Kafka, Redis, NoSQL like Cassandra and etc...throw all the bells and whistles at it to make it awesome and stood out from the rest. Let's face it moving from OSC or Phoenix to V4 will not be an easy migration given how the original cart was so "customizable" so make it worthwhile. I spent over 15+ years in opensource/startups and am now working at a big publicly traded software company with a 30+ year old platform/code base, and it's been interesting experiencing the company and it's fortune 100 clients who are used to white gloves services trying to adopt opensource. I don't think that the question on "can it be done or how?" has been addressed yet because it isn't easy...ya, I am interested to see how this will turn out...thx!
BTW, "low-codes" is the buzz word now I think...

Hope it's alright to provide some suggestions:
Record the demo session and provide the recording. The sooner people get to see the s/w, repo, and app features the better to find volunteers. For dotcomboomers they'll be thinking what's in it for me, and for millennials they probably will do things for a cause that they believe in. Wiki type content management perhaps people can submit contents that are pending approval? The thought here was to just make it open. Read a story about Elastic Search and on how the founder was dumbfounded as it gained traction after it was put in an opensource git repo. Thanks!

i think sooner the better getting some kinda demo or repo online to keep people's interest be good for sure. if the migration was to be very complex what gives the new OSC advantage over other carts or SaaS, right?

Hmm...true, clean code is important...
I don't know if this banaid is better than the previous one,  but they both offer a similar solution.
I would really do a var_dump($text_array) or print_r($text_array) just before the foreach statement to get a stack trace of the argument. You really need to know why PHP was complaining. In fact, the foreach statement wasn't just looking for an array, and it was expecting an associative array.
FWR is a smart dude, I would definitely understood why before deciding on a fix. That would be my approach...some upstream setting may just fix the warning.

@Bobber , I hope no one minds me tell you this. @oscoMMarket had shared with me that his posts are being moderated from this point forward. So, I think be patience and if he had responded it may take a while for it to become available.

@piernas You touched on this a little, but the sad thing is that 2.4 makes addons ultra easy to install and uninstall. It almost makes me cry to see the wasted opportunity there.

@Jack_mcs
Does this add-on require View Counter?

Wow, this is my 1000th post

This is the support thread for the Customer Service Portal  https://apps.oscommerce.com/xihXD&customer-service-portal
The primary goal of the Customer Support Portal is to allow osCommerce shop owners to allow their employees to work on order fulfillment and customer support inquiries without having to allow direct admin access. Additionally it serves as a full fledged order placement system that will work with a shops existing payment methods, as well as a couple of new payment modules that could be useful in case alternate means of payment processing are desired, or in person cash sales are needed.
The Customer Support Portal also allows  a true guest checkout option. No customer is created if this option is used. All customer information is stored only in the actual order information. There is a quick link in the Customer Portal Header menu that allows guest orders to be viewed separately from the rest of the store orders. Please note that in the ht_customer_service module settings there is an email field to fill out, by default it uses the store owners set email address. This email is used for certain functions within the Customer Service Portal, such as a placeholder email in guest account creation. It will always be populated on the guest customers information field, just to skip the additional step of gathering an email address from a guest.
Whenever done with guest accounts, or even logging into an existing customers account always go back to the dashboard. This resets the session for that particular customer. If you are in a customers account, then you have to take on a session allowing you to access their info, the dashboard kills any sessions that are not related directly to you the customer service agent.
If you are using the cash payment option, you will need to adjust the sort order of you order total module sp that the order totals and cash back amounts are computed correctly.

Known issues:
This plugin has been used in working shops for a number of years and proven to be stable. There are howver 2 issues I am aware of.
1) If a product in the cart has attributes, the update quantity field wont work properly. If a different quantity is desired, just delete it and add the correct quantity from the product listing itself.
2) I have not noticed this until testing on PHP 7.0, when using the cash payment option, the update button needs to be clicked twice.
 
Feel free to post with comments or suggestions.

hi
i checked
mine has no update button
it just has button linking to the addon area
would i need to manually add this addon myself?

If you need more help let me know.  I think that will work though.

Hello fellow osCommercians.
 
This is the support topic for the addon SEO Friendly Urls.
 
SEO Friendly Urls is a new addon for the osCommerce CMS that will change the default urls into what a modern website's urls should be! (at least that's what I think)
 
I will shortly add the zip file into addons page. (I just wan tto grab this topic link in order to add it into the addons page)
 
Example: of SEO Friendly Urls:
 
www.mystore.com/product_info.php?products_id=17
 
will be
 
www.mystore.com/scarves/oval-crystal-scarf
 
Urls possible structure examples : *
www.mydomain.com/category-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/sub-category-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/sub-category-alias/sub-category-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/sub-category-alias/sub-sub-category-alias/sub-sub-sub-category-alias e.t.c. www.mydomain.com/product-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/product-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/sub-category-alias/product-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/sub-category-alias/sub-category-alias/product-alias www.mydomain.com/category-alias/sub-category-alias/sub-sub-category-alias/sub-sub-sub-category-alias/product-alias e.t.c. * Can also add any desired extension. Can also add language alias.
 
Example with language alias: www.mydomain.com/en/category-alias/product-alias
 
Extras: You can also create alias for core pages such as specials.php, reviews.php
 
For example you could change specials.php to specials (www.mystore.com/specials)
 
-------------------
 
EDITED: Here is the addons link:  http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/9371
P.S. I did not added this topic url to the addons page. Damn, I forgot.
 
P.S. I hope I don't break any rule this time.

What ever you are saying I am not following, but usually toggling the caching scheme should fix your problem (in between toggling you can delete the cache file). Now, without knowing your OSC/PHP and etc. version, check out this post as you may need to update some sqlite functions. I suspect you have other issues, BS or no BS it should be the same.

Performance!? That's an interesting question as it also depends on your hosting plan/server power...memcache should be the best and to me I luv throwing hardware at increasing performance as it is still the least expensive. Well how about a multi-tier with MySQL on raw devices...well, they are all good until you hit a bottle neck...you get my point...my $0.02.
 
 

Hi all,
 
my Extended Search Bar pushed out for BS stores.
 
http://oscom.hu/images/store_search/store_search_bootstrap_oscommerce.png
 
Add-On : http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/9328
 
 
If products are found more than 5 result then advanced search link appears in dropdown as 6th line. If product is not found then advanced search link is displaying in dropdown. Exception: typed single "b" or "B" has no effect. Store Search field working as an origin Search bar with typed enter/return or click on button. Search in description configuration mode has effect only as origin Search method. File content searches are only in "OR" conditions. Categories and product results are working by "AND" conditions.

FYI...I built a module for that and you should be able to find most of it here...

My bad as my github isn't that tidy....I was learning git and I was under a tight timeline to get the site relaunched...
 
Those in the addon won't work for sure as FB had a new requirement beginning of this year on re-request due to the permission restriction and what not so the module above should give you a good starting point...also, the current core can't deal with checkout without addresses so you would have to modify the checkout process as well...do checkout the simple register module as well as they kinda go together...
 
Also, before you venture of this route...consider the pay FB login service as well as make sure that FB login is for your customers...I found older customers least likely to use FB login...

SQL-Ledger has a POS...with a touch screen u may be good to go. I know the rest fairly well but not the POS as I had never the need for a POS. Post back here and I'll see if I can help...I came a long way it has import functions now...but the api import are just as easy...perl and postgresql knowledge would help...

@@piernas...I'll LUK when I have a chance to go over what you are trying to do...

@@piernas, looks fine to me...may be your reset the cache? I bet you the problem won't come back...I hope...
 
U may want to remove the index.php at / page...or redirect the index.php index.html to /...I thought there was a setting in USU5 for that...

I have started a git repository for FWR's USU5 for BS. So far I have added a page for BS integration and it was tested on Edge. I am working on getting the MySQL cache bug fix for the next commit. Please feel free to download and use.

Include the new Root 2 Geo Trust Global CA in the authorize.net.crt file as replacing it will wipe out the other certs...for some reason the Root 2 Geo Trust Global CA isn't in either of the default files. I would just make the change in the authorize.net.crt file and leave the cacert.pem file alone. The if block reads from the authorize.net.crt file or the cacert.pem file.
 
Mines working as well...also make sure that your SSL is SSH2...and follow the Authorize.net instructions you should be good to go...Thx for letting me know! Tim
