jkonecn Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 I've installed 2.2cvs and then quantity controller, then attribute sorter. It was a real treat trying to merge the source code from the older quantity controller and attribute sorter to the newer cvs code. Now that it is working I see that MS1 is out. What I have to do to update is compare all the source again to see what to merge and what not to merge. I have to make sure I don't wipe out my changes for quantity controller and attribute sorter also. I'm using Beyond Compare which makes it easier but it is still a huge difficult job. 1. Is there an easier way? 2. Will features like quantity controller and attribute sorter ever show up in the standard product? 3. If not why isn't there some hooks so you contributors don't have to mod so much of the base code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 CVS is the way the devs keep everything in order. Do a Google search for CVS and you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 1. No, not really.... You can use patch files, cvs, and diffs, but it still is a fairly painful process. BTW for cvs info start at www.cvshome.org 2. Not any time soon see: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/workboard 3. The code is moving in that direction, but it is not there yet....
