SCH_001 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 For stock? Can't go wrong with Easypopulate I use it every day, many times a day EP as progressed to a tool for exporting product details for easy editing in text or with Excel. After, we can import the product detail back into the osCommerce database with changes. EP lets you quickly populate and update thousands of products in many categories for an OSC store with data from an; Excel spreadsheet, OpenOffice spreasheet, Filemaker database, Access database. Any delimited text file (you can now set a config var for the separator character). We can also export sets of products based on a category, manufacturer, or the product's status (visible/not visible) for editing, moving to another site or storing. EP supports multiple categories, multiple languages, creates Categories and Manufacturers on the fly, unlimited levels of categories/subcategories are supported, products without pictures can be defaulted to a standard "no picture available" image and file uploading via browser or grab a file from the temp directory.

♥Smoky Barnable Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 No, I mean import/export of the module itself. So, for example you could export a module from one cart/domain/test environment and import it into another easily. Export would create all files needed while maintaining file hierarchy.

♥14steve14 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Code something up. Let those in charge see what you have done and if good enough it may get added to core. Personally cant really see a need for it as addons are now generally only upload and a turn on. Cant get much simpler than that.

puddlec Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 with the uploading the module, what is wrong with using FileZilla? how would you handle add-ons like https://apps.oscommerce.com/oS9zZ&jcm-footer-brands-logo-s-v1-0-ce which has a folder for bs3 and another for bs4 as well as a read me files you would also still need to know where all the files were uploaded to Phoenix support now at https://phoenixcart.org/forum/ App created for phoenixTinyMCE editor for admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Smoky Barnable Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I suppose the idea of exporting modules is geared towards developers/coders. For example, I'm currently converting modules from BS3 to BS4. It would be nice to be able to easily export those and import into different testing environments or easily post to the apps marketplace. The key word is "easy".

peterbuzzin Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Personally I think it's a nice idea. If you're just looking after one store, probably your own then you wouldn't have much need for it. My employer has nearly a 800 clients and nearly 2000 hosted sites. We try to save time by reusing as much previous work/code as possible to make us more efficient. We also have live/production and staging/development areas where we may duplicate sites and place them for additional development without affecting the service of the live site/store. At the moment after testing, I'd either have to copy rows using Navicat from the DB and paste in the live DB or install the module and manually enter the details again into the live store/site. This would be a nice feature. I might add it to my to-do list Smoky! If it still don't work, hit it again!
