    Brooky's New Toy

    I resigned from my last job to redevelop CubeCart. Whether I become fully self employed of venture out into the world or work again depends on how well CC3 is received. Currently I am gambling and keeping my head above water. I have saved to go to Egypt for over a year now and will be roughing it on a budget tour. :)

    Hotels in Egypt are £4 (~$7) per night including breakfast. Bargain! I'll post the photos @ http://www.brooky.com/photos/ when I get back.

    Version 3 Features

    in General Discussion

    Am I going to have to re-learn everything about the way the cart works in order to design for ver 3?

    There will be a learning curve but you will find it more pleasant. i.e. if you change something in one place in CC3 it will refelect everywhere. (In most cases.)

    I will also have superior stylesheet support and complete separation of html and php (on the front end) although the template system is realtively basic.

    Here is a sample template page for unsubscribeing:

    <table width="100%" class="tblContentBox"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">

    <tr>

       <td class="tdContentBoxHead"><span class="txtMainTitle">{UNSUBSCRIBE_TITLE}</span></td>

	<tr>

  <td class="txtCopy">

  <p>{TXT_UNSUBSCRIBE}</p>

  <form action="unsubscribe.php" target="_self" method="post">

  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center">

   	 <tr>

     	 <td><strong>{TXT_ENTER_EMAIL}</strong></td>

     	 <td><input type="text" name="email" class="textbox" /></td>

 	 </tr>

 	 <tr>

    <td>&nbsp;</td>

    <td><input name="submit" type="submit" value="{TXT_SUBMIT}" class="submit" /></td>

 	 </tr>

  </table>

  </form>

  </td>

	</tr>

</table>

    Right I have to stop waffeling and do some work...

    A lot of PM'S

    I have a wireless router adsl model type thing.

    Funny you mention it afksky I never know whether I should be American or British. Should the admin system have colour spelt as colour or color (maybe I just answered my own question). And I can also never remember whether British has one t or two...

    Now how ironical is that?

    Version 3 Features

    the thing i am hoping for is that the mods for ver2 will work on ver3

    No chance!! Sorry LOL. CC3 is a completely different beast all together. For one the code is way superior let alone the features.

    No nasty nested mysql queries ... Defined variable types... $_GET $_POST etc etc to work on newer php standard installs... Theres no comparison. As a result it will be harder to modify for the novice but thats a sacrifice that is only beneficial to everyone in the long run.

    Many will hate it... some will love it... What ever the reaction I'm going to Egypt!

    Why Egypt?

    ..... no idea!!!!

    Maybe I just wanna walk like an egyption? And hell by the time this is finished I probably will be for life. <_<

    CubeCart 3 Features

    in News & Announcements

    Posted · Edited by brooky

    CubeCart 3 will have all the features of CubeCart 2 with the exception of the backup feature which has been removed. This is because there are already free advanced database tools available such as phpMyAdmin which we highly recommend.

    CubeCart 3 has been completely written from scratch and it is now about 55% complete at the time of writing this but development is fast! We estimate a beta release in late February 2005.

    It has been written to work on servers with "Register Globals" set to off. Superior coding standards means that it will be more secure, modular and efficient.

    The Feature List

    • HTML Templates - Now you can customise your store with absolutely no php knowledge. An array of templates will be available over time.
    • Inventory stock control - Option to allow sales of items that are out of stock or not i.e. Order or Buy.
    • Multiple categories per product.
    • Unlimited product images.
    • Unlimited levels of sub categories.
    • Powerful cross browser rich text editor - Used with kind permission of Frederico Caldeira Knabben at http://www.fckeditor.net
    • Bulk Emailer - Emails can be downloaded as a text file or bulk email sent directly though the administration panel its self. The rich text editor can be used to build powerful vibrant emails (See screen shots in the previous topic). There is a built in unsubscribe facility and the email can be sent at text, html or multipart format.
    • Plug and play shipping & payment gateways - Simply upload the module you wish to use for your store and configure it. We expect this to result in a boom in the amount of possible gateways and shipping methods.
    • Ability to handle digital downloads - This can be anything from digital music to software.
    • Unlimited store administrators - Superusers and users. Users can be granted specific permissions (read/write etc...) and unsurprisingly superusers have access to everything.
    • Automated copyright removal for customers.
    • Improved language support - added 19:04 6th Jan.

    Other features such as testimonials and product reviews will be added depending on progress. If they are not released in 3.0.0 they will be in a future version.

    I think thats everything. Please note that these features are subject to change without notice.

    An upgrade script will be released to modify CC2 to CC3 but this will not be available with the beta release.

    Once CubeCart 3.0.0 is stable we aim to release 3.1.0 with built in ticket support system.

    Please note that current customers will be able to upgrade and have copyright removal. Whether CubeCart 3 is freely available or pay per download is still undecided. This depends upon some unforeseeable circumstances.

    We are also expecting a small rise in our prices upon release so we strongly recommend purchases prior to this.
