We decide to establish a community testing team for v2.0. So, we could get some valuable proposals from community quickly.
1. Although the framework of v2.0 is improving and adjusting continually, we consider send the source code to any community member who want to test it.
2. This prototype for v2.0 can't be installed yet. But, it will work as long as configuring it. Most of the basic features are completed except the payment module.
/*****************************************Admin Panel**************************************/
. Content Group -> Article Categories, Articles, Slide Images, Guest Book
. Configuration Group -> Homepage Info, Configuration
. Catalog Group-> Categories, Products, Product Variants, Manufacturers, Specials, Ratings, Feature Products Manager, Products Expected, Reviews
. Customers Group-> Customers, Customers Groups, Invoices, Orders
. Definitions Group -> Information, Currencies, Countries, Zone Groups, Tax Classes, Product Quantity Units, Orders Status, Image Groups, Languages, Weight Classes
. Reports Group -> Products Report, Orders Report
. Templates Group -> Logo Upload, Templates
. Tools -> Administrators, Cache Control, Images, Newsletters, Server Information
/*****************************************Front End**************************************/
The payment section and system service haven't been implemented yet.
3. The template engine could mobile device now
What we are doing now?
1. We are finding the solution to let the developers extend or override our core resource such as library, function and modules etc. Since there are some limitations in codeigniter framework, so we must extend the core framework of codeigniter to make it more flexible for this project.
2. How to let the admin and front share the same model, library etc?
3. How to load the view in the admin with the new mvc infrastructure in the extjs4.x?
4. How to integrate the system service in the new framework? How to define it?
5. How to integrate the payment module? Should we use the hook feature in codeigniter to implement it?
6. Improving the template engine
Definitely, the core team will works hardly to complete the task day by day. There are more points in the new framework need to improve.
If you could contribute time and feedback for v2.0, please join in the community testing team for v2.0. You just need to send email to
jack.yin@tomatocart.com. We will send the source code and sql to you asap.
After testing the prototype, you could discuss it with core team or other members in
www.tomatocart.com/community/75-discussi...-tomatocart-v20.html
Thanks in advance.
