It would be nice If X-cart would Create a Forum Specifically for Beta Testing and also Have a methode for Cataloging Feature requests and BUGS!! And show witch one are being worked on or wont be considered.... I have done lots of beta testing and you guys always have me shaking my head. Heck I bet it would be a great idea to package all your custom mods that you do for customers and resell them as modules. I guess you can't charge $/hour for something you already built.
OOhhh wait we are talking about X-cart Never Mind. Hire a business consultant you guys have all the right ideas in your product just sloppy excecution. After 3 years and little to No change in aspects of your company and product that people have been complaining about for 3 years now thats sad because somone else will eventually take over....
I will say its nice to see the slow steady improvement and the focus on Performance. (X-cart has a reputation for being slow)
Sorry I give you guys a hard time I know you work hard!
X-cart is still the best out of box solution I have seen.
Its just so easy to imagine a better product!

The greater part of bug reports we get comes from our clients who contact us directly via the HelpDesk. We appreciate that.
We always examine all bug reports very carefully. But, I should mention it again, NO new features, as well as NO major improvements to X-Cart 4.1.0 will be made after the release of RC1. We have a large number of clients who have suggestions about what features must be there in X-Cart, some of the suggestions are really good ones, but you shoud understand that we cannot put all of them in 4.1.0. The development of 4.1.0 cannot continue endlessly. |
fair enough but ...
many people are just asking for existing features to work how you imagine they should and that all the simple things are fixed before a final release.
Having a beta forum where we could discuss features and be told yes or no would be useful i think. There are just as many people who see problems and work around them every day who DONT report things via the members area. Ive created lists each time that you never know what has been taken on board and what has not.
There are so many little things that add up to be a pain when you have to deal with them every day.
heres a simple one
look how much code gets used to create the menu.tpl and dialog.tpl
another.. look how ugly that 'your order is being processed' page looks
another, get rid of the
at the end of each menu. no need to waste space on the page
another.. thumbnail in the cart page takes no notice of the thumbnail size set in admin. why set a size and not use it globaly
take you 2 minutes each and make such a difference. I know it takes me 2 minutes each every time I have to set up a new store for a client and I know each time I see a site that hasnt had these fixes i think how bad it looks.
next look at the code for making buttons. surely that could be simplified. why do we need full buttons and then go buttons ?
BEFORE a final release lets have a round of simply cleaning things up. Doing things that in no way effect function so wont cause any problems but will banish all the niggly bits forever.
I cant even be bothered to mention that there is no reason to have the product ID show in the product title on the product details page. If it were the sku then i could see some logic but the product ID is only used in the code and end users have no idea what its there for.
Again hate to moan becuase I love xcart but there are many times when i hate it too
As this will be a database only upgrade then you have the golden oportunity to do what you like with the files as everyone will be starting over with the design. Once this release goes public we stuck in the next rounds of upgrades for another 12-18 months
it would be such a shame to move forward to a new branch and still be plagued by the same old things
