We have been using 4.0.0A for about 2 weeks now LIVE and have had no problems with it. The only bugs we encountered were simple superficial ones like color problems in the admin area, etc. As far as functionality goes however, it works great. We average 35,000 unique visitors per month with over 20 million hits per month and the cart is taking and processing it great. Over 50 sales per day with multiple checkout methods with no problems either.
Anyone else using 4.0.0A LIVE yet?

thing i would like to see in the next release
1)
Example: I have 700 product and 23 categories. i have 120 products with the word "summer" which are scattered in 6 subcategories. Today: I make a search for all the occurrence that contain the word "Summer" And I get a list of all the products with that name in them. (so I get a list of 120 products) Desire: What I would like to get is the page of the subcategory where the word summer was found, and only then when I click the category I desire, I will see the products in that category. that will help the customers to find what they are looking for a lot faster. 2) A map of the source, which files call who (that will help us to make better mods). 3) A search on the main screen. Today : Search ___________ Go Advanced search Desire: Search ___________ Go Category [DropDown] SubCategory [DropDown] (depend on the Category) MakeOrModel [DropDown] (depend on the Category and the SubCategory) Advanced search 4) In the registration form, the option to decide which field we are mandatory, which are optional and which we don't want to see. And that it will be reflected in all the email that go out. 5) Category menu. Today when we use the default category list it look something like this Computer Book TV Map It would be nice if we could go one level deeper like that: Computer -------Screen -------HD Book -------Mystery -------Comics TV -------21" -------25" -------Plasma Maps -------EUROPE -------North America And also the ability to decide if a one of the wich category will have the Ability be open or not Example : TV not Open Then it will show in the menu only the Main category without the SubCategorys. Computer -------Screen -------HD Book -------Mystery -------Comics TV (it won't display the subcategoy) Maps -------EUROPE -------North America

We just install it last night and so far the only bug we found is that the buy button doesnБ─≥t work.
The new admin look and functions are nice.

thumbnails images
there should be 2 types thumbnails images folder.
one for the main page(where we see a bunch of products and we could save those images to the size of 70*70 (for real, so it will weight only 1K), and for the detail page of the product we will use the second folder which will hold the more heavy thumbnail. (150 * 200, something like 3K-5K) this way we can speed up the page upload and still use a good quality images.

I read that production release will be compatible with PHP 5.0 -that's great! But what about template engine, almost every PHP developer knows that Smarty is the slowest template engine system you can find out there. The latest version of Smarty offers a visible speed and security advantages over current Smarty 2.5.0. So, why not to upgrade it before xcart gets in production
I think it's about the time to upgrade, look here: Smarty 2.5.0 Source April 11th, 2003 Smarty 2.6.3 Source June 16th, 2004 Will we be able to upgrade 4.0.0Alpha to production release down the road as with 3.5.x through admin interface, or production release will needs to be installed clean to function correctly with all the features I want to start to work on design now and be able to upgrade it later. |

What to expect with upgrading
Hi
I'm wondering what to expect with upgrading to 4.0. Will it be similar to going from 3.5.7 -> 3.5.8? Or, will it require a completely new install of X=Cart? Also while on the subject of upgrading, it would be nice if 4.0 could complete the upgrading process even if the .tpl files have been compiled. Thanks Mike

Hello,
I think a great feature would be something like amazon has, that is when you login to your account it shows new products that you might be interested in (the feature should look at what the customer has purchased in the past and then base the new products on that). Just my thoughts -Mike |
