Kryptronic Software Support Forum

What id like to see

Front End

1) Send users a welcome email with an email confirmation link in it before there account becomes active

2) a 'Your Account' interface which includes the following:

2a) The ability for logged in users to be able to view there Order History(all there orders without having to put in each order number) and list these as pending and Shipped etc and once shipped i would like it to include the tracking number with a quik link to the website
2b) Ability for the user to change there e-mail address
2c) To be able to see there info such as billing/shipping address and then click another link to edit it instead of going straight to edit.
2d) To be able to change there password
2e) To be able to logout of there account

3) a small part somewhere on the template showing you are logged in and giving a welcome message.

4) To be able to select different shipping methods based on the total amount and the weight. eg recorded for under £30. Special for under £250 Special rate 2 for £250-£1000 special rate 3 for order between £1000-£2000. and then i have a table of the different weights and there prices which could be implemented into this.

6) Be able to create different user groups with different prices. in my business i run different prices for special customers etc

7) to be able to have a accept terms page before confirming the order

8) wieght in Kilograms for UK

9) be able to click a remove link on the basket for items

Admin end

1) For me to recieve a printable packing list once the order is placed
2) Intergrate Royal Mail Shipping for UK
3) Better products/Categories view where you can create a catergory then add the product to this category/sub category istead of having one option for products and one option for categories. instead of this product is displaied in there categories etc
4) being able to put my own logo and company slogan etc on the invoices for customers 

I would recommend that you write a sniffer function in your cart code that, if CGI or Perl fuctionality is not achieved or is not accessible, it should Print a blanket statement saying... "Your server does not support CGI or Perl script", followed by whatever else gets spat-out on the screen when Perl is not working. And if the server "does" support it, and script processing is achieved, it will activate code to hide that statement. And once the cart is up and running, give the user the option, in the Admin interface of the cart, to turn off the CGI/Perl support sniffer function. This would sure help you guys trouble shoot whether Perl & CGI scripts can even run on the server that you are trying to provide support for. And it would be easy code to write. Just make it the first check point for the application when the page is loaded.

Pretty good idea ay?

Well ... I agree and I disagree at the same time on this last subject. In order to do this, each ISP would have to give their support as well and not everyone will do so for third party scripts.

Also, it'd require each specific modules to call the server (since the 6.0 version will be done by specific modules for each users) and that could have an impact. If I hear otherwise, I'd like to know a better version of this if I'm wrong.

Please, let's not fight over this. To answer to your if statement strategy. If we apply a Javascript command to check the server, it won't have any garranty that  the information will be sent successfuly since it involves browser issues.

Meaning, if someone has Internet Explorer, another one has Netscape and finaly another who has : Opera or Mozilla ; it could have an impact in the language. Which is why, a module would be required in this case.

i dont know if anyones asked for this or not...
but it would be great if the email-a-friend form was in a seperate window and once a link was clicked on the product page, it would open in a popup
it would also be great if every product page could have a reviews section where only customers have the ability to comment on the product

built-in advanced search features would be very great too :! so that the user can specify and find exactly what theyre looking for within minutes.

thanks,
nabz

I'm not having a go at anyone nabz.  I've headed development teams and have experience with utilizing and knowing what resources are most optimal for web processes.  So if I've dented anyone's ego with my input, I'm sorry that interpretted it as an aggresive act. So lower your defence shield dude.

If anything you're the one striking out at me.  I haven't made any harsh statements toward Scoutch.  He has been trying to help me with another issue and he is very much appreciated by me.

My "Good programmers" opinion is merely my opinion.  If you are offended by that then I recommend you take a chill yourself and stop trying to pick a fight.

If you will recall, is the one who's comment was a challenge to my knowledge as a programmer.  And I was simply responding to his challenge. 

Scoutch, I opologize to you "and you alone" for the direction and misinterpretations from my input and suggestions on this subject.

Chill nabz!!

My apology was not directed toward you nabz.  But I will accept "your" apology if you were big enough to extend it.  What a clown..


DDemay

Apologize accepted but please, like I said, let's not post a 1000 opinions in the bad section of this forum. If you want to do so, go in the : Opinions section (the 2nd link of the forum intro page).

Hello MJ,

It's all good..  thanks for your input..  If I ever get time to take a shot at writing a javascript object to do what I scoped out , I will post it.  But it's not likely in the near future because of work overload on my end.  I'm referring to the work in my sound studio, not programming tasks.  I figured writing that sort of module should be up to the CCP folks.  I'm not being paid...

But I will give suggestions for free..  lol!!

Oh, and Nabz...   no hard feeling bud.

(good programmer...  lol)

roger that..   

lol... i had smilies but i still think that people will think that some messages if read in a different mood than they should be read, this will p*** someone off

anyways, i thought ddemay was actually angry when he was replying to your message because of your reply [bottom of message] :p
