  5. OSCOM v2.4: Multiple Templates and Apps Proposal

    Mark Evans replied to Harald Ponce de Leon's topic in Development Proposals

    I'm not sure we need yet another place to do things, redmine is great if you don't have Github but I don't really see the point in using it for osCommerce, we can easily achieve the same thing with the tools we already have
  6. I'd use 2.3.3 as the base, 2.4 will be on the way soon but will be pretty similar in terms of functionality, I would then suggest keeping an eye on the 3.x development as once we get closer to stabilising the core codebase we will look to prepare a full functionality release which will be radically different to the 2.x series

  7. Caching Strategy

    Mark Evans replied to bruyndoncx's topic in Development Proposals

    I have some proof of concept code lying around somewhere which made the caching system work with APC, Memcache, Wincache and the current file based system. APC is great for working across just a single webserver but when you need to deal with load balancing APC is a pain, in this scenario memcache is the better solution. I'll see if I can dig it out if anyone is interested? I also wanted to look into Redis support at somepoint as well, maybe during the Xmas break I'll get some time to do some proper coding again!

  9. Implementing Behat testing into osCommerce

  10. Meta Robot NoIndex Header Tag Module Proposal for v2.3.3

    Mark Evans replied to Harald Ponce de Leon's topic in Development Proposals

    jQuery is already used in the front-end of osCommerce, integration into the backend was only a matter of time. Personally I think the many benefits of jQuery far outweigh the few negatives and the no-support for older browsers is a good thing, the whole world would be better off not supporting IE7,IE8 and IE9

      I whish the bug tracker was more "live" That is confirm, fix or remove.

  14. Its time to stop talking and start coding! PHP 5.4 you will be tamed

      osCcommerce v2.3.1 needs the update to work with PHP5.4! That does not work with PHP5.4. I'm checking out upgrade changes now. Quickly question: When will the new version be released ?

    2. Mark Evans

      Mark Evans

      I would hope to release it shortly after PHP 5.4 becomes a final release

  15. Roadmap for OSC 3

    Mark Evans replied to tmbiz's topic in Core Development (Archive)

    The roadmap can be seen at http://countdown.oscommerce.com/index.php?article=roadmap In short, there is a lot of work to do on 3.0 and it will take a while, if your a developer then why not help out

  16. OSC V3

    Mark Evans replied to justinswaa's topic in Core Development (Archive)

    There was no way we could be backwards compatible and move the codebase forward enough to be a good base for the future. As I've said a few times recently, if your not a developer don't use v3.x for now, 2.3 is a supported released and will receive more updates to keep the general userbase busy. If you really want v3.x then you pay a little more per month and get a VPS, there are 1000's of companies offering them which will give you PHP 5.3. Supporting every shared hosting company out there will do nothing but hold everyone back
