    Smoky Barnable reacted to osCommerce-Official in Multiple Design Templates and built in Designer   
    osCommerce v4 is coming with support for Multiple Design Templates and built in Template Builder. 
    Template management doesn't require any PHP coding, and is done via the back end of the website. 
    It is possible to create, import, and export multiple design templates. This opens ways for professional designers and developers to offer their osCommerce templates for sale in the future App Marketplace - announcements to follow.
    Design templates are managed and modified via the back end of osCommerce, using a special built in Designer.
    It is possible to edit template settings in several ways (visual editor and CSS editor).
    It is possible to add, move, and delete various widgets from any page of the osCommerce website. 
    Additionally, all documents (invoices, packing slips, emails) can be edited if required.
    It is also possible to create copies of the existing pages. For example, there can be 2 or more product pages, and different products can be assigned different designs of the product page.
    Support for Responsive design is implemented, as well as an additional optional Mobile view for each template.
    The system allows both professional designers and end users (i.e. shop owners) change the look and feel of the osCommerce online store without going deep into the code or even without HTML knowledge. Of course designers and developers are able to modify widgets or create new widgets to extend functionality of osCommerce v4

    Smoky Barnable reacted to osCommerce-Official in Menu Editor   
    Menu is a totally new concept in osCommerce v4 that comes built in and "out of the box". 
    Instead of website menu being effectively a copy of the category tree in previous versions of osCommerce, in version 4 we have created a totally separate entity for menus, which can be embedded into any part of any page. 
    And so, Menus are managed from a special section of the back end:

    You can switch between different menus existing in the system or create a new one.

    It is possible to export and import menus, to move them between websites.
    A menu is a list of a tree of choices. Each menu item can have its own name, link (if not predefined link to one of the website's pages), and style class:

    So, it is possible to rename categories as they get added to the menu, or even have the same category more than once in the menu. 
    Besides categories and brands, It is also possible to add links to website's pages (like Shopping cart, Contact, etc), to the content pages (like About, Privacy policy, etc), or to a completely random URL (custom link).

    Smoky Barnable reacted to osCommerce-Official in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)   
    osCommerce v4 comes fully prepared with modern on-site SEO features.
    1. Page properties 
    Every entity like product, category, landing page, website pages have editable page URL, title, description, H tags, image alts, and so on. 

     

    It is possible to set templates for each type of page in the SEO settings in the back end. And it is also possible to override those settings to make granular changes to, for example, product catalog.

    2. Rich text snippets describe pages in a better way for Google and other search engines 
    3. Pre-integration with Google tools (Analytics, Tag manager, various Trackers), where only the account code needs to be specified in the back end to complete the integration
     
    4. osCommerce v4 allows for redirects (301) to be set for particular entities (like products, etc) or through the whole website (SEO redirects functionality)
    5. XML site maps are generated automatically by the website

    6. Page load speed has been optimised to pass Google Page Speed test successfully 
    SEO functionality comes "out of the box" and will be included into osCommerce v4 FREE and open source version. 
    Watch this space, more updates to follow!

    This addon is meant to inform the shop owner when someone who isn't marked as valid logs in to the admin. This can be used to catch hackers, past employees or just anyone that shouldn't be in the shops admin.
    This addon will work in any version of Phoenix. It may work in Frozen though the hook may need to be altered or added.

    A new version has been uploaded with these changes:
    Changed the code in the HTS display module in admin to prevent php warnings. Changed the code in the HTS test file in admin to prevent php warnings. Changed the code in admin/categories.php to automatically fill in the stock SEO fields. Found by @alix32. Changed code on the keywords page to fix errors in the position code. Changed code in the test file to fix errors. Changed code in the Version Checker for php warning. Corrected link in Version Checker that gave incorrect results. Corrected the install instructions. Found by @geoffreywalton. Moved the keyword search handler to a hook in Phoenix. Removed some unused defines left over from a previous version. Notes:
    1 - The only changes are for the -14 and -15 Phoenix versions. Though the -14 changes will apply to some previous versions.
    2 - Don't rely on the change instructions for the categories.php file. Due to the changes to that file with each Phoenix release, it is just not feasible to keep the install instructions updated. Use a compare program to find the needed changes.

    JcM Footer Info Links2 V1.0 Phoenix
    A simple add-on’s that allows you to display stock links in the footer of your site with more display flexibility.
    It’s a simple no core change add-on so just copy files over go to admin and install and setup. It uses the stock Phoenix links
    The display of the links can be set in admin to be row or column.
    When set to row and seen on a small screen display will show only one link at a time as they auto scroll by. Touching the link will stop the scroll.
    The add-on includes one additional link to a price list. This is optional if you don't need it then don't use it. As with all stock links they can be added to or removed in the language file.
    That’s it enjoy.
    It has only been tested on Phoenix 1.0.5.3 only.
    Can be see working on this site
    Row display,

    Smoky Barnable reacted to burt in Header Tags SEO   
    Core is always evolving and getting better, it will eventually end up in a place where everything can be done without core being affected at all.  To get to that place means some "hurt" for existing addons. What we have is a small team of addon developers who are actively involved in helping Matt @ecartz and myself to "bend" the core code to better suit their addon needs, which means their addons become much easier to install.
    Think back to the days of 2.2 (or even 2.3) where you would see addons changing core code on lots of different pages to do something.  We've massively reduced that with the help of supportive addon makers and supportive shopowners.  
    On the flip side of that coin are the addon makers and shopowners who have zero input into the core code.  If one has zero input, one should expect to have to deal with problems as they arise, rather than know upcoming problems in advance.
    I can summarise this as so:
    The core does not stand still because of addons.

    Smoky Barnable reacted to Jack_mcs in Header Tags SEO   
    The changes in Phoenix will sometimes change the code to where it is no longer recognized by the code in addons. For example, a function may be moved to a class so the code in the addon can't find the function any longer. There's no way for developers to plan for this so we just have to react after the fact. But as soon as we upload a new version of the addon, the code in Phoenix changes and breaks the addon again. Testing the addon with the new version of Phoenix, identifying the new problems, fixing the code and then uploading the new version of an addon is not a small job so upgrading can't be done for every version of Phoenix. Unfortunately, there's just no way around it.

    It's because they changed the minimum width and height to 6x4. Deleting those lines probably cause their default to be used but you could leave them in and change the sizes accordingly.

    As far as I know, WebP images are not (yet) supported by the GD library which is used to generate the thumbs.
    Edit: just checked and the latest version has it added:
    https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagetypes.php
    but the support needs to be added to kiss it.
    I’ll check for the next update. But I don’t know if that version is already widely installed on the servers.

    Thanks a lot for answering Jack.
    I know these guys won't give an answer. They have such a principle.
    Harald's updates required a lot of work, but were very simple. Updating in connection with the transition to the SSL was also not very difficult. Updates related to changes in the PHP version were also not very difficult. Most of the users did all these updates themselves.
    Order from professional coders. It is possible, but if you need 1-2 modules. When you need to update an old, large, multifunctional store in which there are many modules, everyone refuses such work. I made applications to almost all the leading coders of OsCommers, but everyone refused my order. I have kept the applications and answers to them in my archive. The main answer is "sorry, I have a lot of work and I don't have time to deal with your store ..."
    The problem is big.
    Today's concept - a stable breaking of the kernel code once a month, creates additional problems. Which coder would dare to adapt an existing store for a phoenix? What guarantees can the encoder give to the customer?
    Nothing wrong. Life is a difficult and difficult path. We will go forward, even if there are artificial obstacles on the way.
