Kryptronic Software Support Forum

So are we on schedule for today? It looks fantastic from what I've seen so far.  Can't wait!

Tom

This is a new version, so there will be a FULL version and an UPGRADE.

I just pushed back the date to 07/02 to allow for more complete beta testing and pending certifications with a couple of processors.  CCP works with all the new ones listed - I just want to ensure full certification for a few of them.

Also, I've just been made aware of a couple of feature requests from the beta team.  They've helped so much testing that I owe a couple of enhancements based on their specs.

We're very close here - and don't worry - I have a fairly strong feeling we'll make the 07/02 release date.  This isn't going to be pushed back to the middle of August like 5.0 was.  I can assure you.

Nick,

No where in the update/upgrade do I see the
Quickbooks 2003 Integration we talked about.
It that a dead dog?

My wife and I need that integration to seamlessly
work in the office. She is an accountant and would
make her job and the program even more robust.

Thank You, Nick Hendler, Terry Ames and the TEAM
for all your hard work! :9

Sincerely

To answer your question about entering the shippers email,
open up config_product.csv in Excel

Look for where it says Shipper Email under the config_description.  It should be the last one.  Then
under the column config_display_value on the same row as where it says shipper email you would put the email address in that you would want it to be.  I only have one email address for that so it works perfectly. 

If you want more than one email address I think you would put email1@email.com|email2@email.com  under the config_display_value.   That is a pipe between the 2 email addresses.  You hit the shift key with the  key and that will create the pipe!! 
Save the file then upload the file to your server in BINARY mode!!

Hope this helps!!

Nick-
5.0 is so well done and meets so many of our needs, I don't think anyone will give you a hard time (this time) about rollout dates. Get it done to your standards and we'll live with the delays.
Rich
ps: Can you get it done yesterday? ;-)

I agree with that post. The only complaints I get from customers is the multi-click task involved in determining categories and options. In 4.0 it was all condensed in the Add Product page which made adding products a snap. Now it takes 5 mins. instead of 1.

Any way to consolidate that back to version 4.0 style, Nick?

Same here jaav, I do all my relations in SQL and CSV, I don't even botrher with the relating in CCP admin because it is so tedious.

I would love to see checkboxes but from working with Nick I am told that it would require massive changes to the code that at this stage of the 5.1 release is not practical.

If I remember correctly, I think he mentioned that it may be in a future release.

ignore that question

Whoah!!!  That was music to my ears!

The new relationship functions are gonna rock!

Nick, this all sounds really great!

A few questions/requests (if not too late, although I've requested these features b4...):

For manage orders, at least have the OPTION to view the tables sorted from the MOST RECENT to the oldest.

That way every time the table refreshes we don't have to page thru innumerable previous sales to get to the latest data.

Every other cart I've ever seen presents the sales data this way, and it would save the admin a LOT of time and paging thru old data to be able to have the data presented this way.

Second, and your new functions described just above may handle this... but the ability to have the View Printable Invoice as a column in the Manage Orders table... It's a REAL hassle to have to hop between two table screens to view a printable invoice and then have to go to another screen to update the record.

Lastly, PLEASE give us at least an option to view/print printable invoice in PORTRAIT rather than landscape mode.

On my system EVERY SINGLE invoice I have to print, I have to go into the print screen and change from default (Portrait) to Landscape.

This is just extra work for no good reason that I can imagine.

Please at least give us a selectable option to always display the printable invoices in PORTRAIT (i.e. printer default) mode.

THANKS!

Take your time on the new release... I think everyone agrees tis better to have it right, since for most everyone 5.0 is stable.

Jack

PS... Looking forward to that TWO-CLICK option! (Just a reminder...)

PPS Boo Boo looking forward to your two-click hack, (I'm one in a line of folks!) in the meantime.

Best to all,
JJ

Yes, the affiliate function will be in the release.

As far as using two shippers at once, that won't be directly supported, but a very simple hack will get it going for you.  I think it may just be a line or two of code.  The new shipping API makes it simple.

I've just added two items:

View most recent orders first in Manage Online Orders.

Move invoice link to Manage Online Orders screen.

To the todo list.  Just as an update, the following items were finalized today:

~SQL Engine - Allows admin users to execute SQL on select tables from admin. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE only. SELECTs handled in Manage interfaces.

~Change admin displays to display LBS/KG or IN/CM instead of conversions.

~Change oversize field to number of boxes field under Manage Products. Products can ship in own box, multiple boxes or be combined with other items in a single box.

~Product options can now be required or not required.

These were the biggies that were marked as ready to go.  There were some others as well.

I just did a count of the enhancements made in tiki and we have topped out at 101 different updates.  Most of them (as you can tell) are fairly major.  I counted 81 that either took at least 1 hour to code, or were very hot requests on the forum (5 or more users expressed interest).  22 of them took over 5 hours to code correctly and 9 took a full day or more. 

All of the requests for changes were made on this forum, by the beta testers or via email at some point since the release of 5.0 in August 2002.  Every request for a change was given careful consideration and I would say around 85-90% of the changes requested have been implemented.

As of tonight I've got 310 support hours into this release since heavy coding began on 04/01. This does not include all of the time the beta team has spent banging away on it.

Well, it's back to work now.  I'm not adding anything else to the release...
