Where is the osC Contributions Guide ?

Hello all,

 

I think the KB is an excellent initiative to document the functionality of the standard osCommerce installation, but I feel we're also in need of a guide that describes the contributions available for particular functional areas and the typical contributions/modifications needed for different kinds of stores. This will allow people to make a better informed decision to go for one or the other contribution; and would generally save time and frustration when it turns out that the contribution doesn't meet their needs.

 

For example, functionality & contribs I'd like to see covered:

* Product Attributes:

- Master Products,

- Quantity Tracker Pro

- Option Types

- Alternative attribute handler

- Attribute Sets

- Static Attributes

 

* Bulk data changes:

- Easy Populate

- Quick Updates

 

* Additional pages

- Article Manager

- different Infobox contribs - don't know which ones

- News Desk

 

* Printing catalog content

- Printable Pricelist

- PDF catalog

- Print catalog

 

As for typical modifications for different kinds of stores:

- Clothing

- Bookshop

- Electronics

- Music

 

Question: is it a possibility to extend the structure of the KB and have a branch that discusses contribution features and limitations ?

Advantage would be that as soon as they would become part of the core, the documentation has been written already.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support).

So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?!

 

Find the most frequent unique errors to fix:

grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt

Adding to the KB site is no problem :)

 

It would be great if documentation regarding contributions can be submited to this forum channel to be considered for inclusion.

:heart:, osCommerce
