EOS Online Merchant

EOS Online Merchant http://www.eosonlinemerchant.org has added the ability to define product extra fields in many language definitions. In osCommerce and CRE Loaded, only categories, Products, etc could use this feature. Track it at http://smeagol.strikehawk.com/mantis/view.php?id=712

Add feature on product page which facilitates allowing the customer to ask the store admin a question about the product. http://smeagol.strikehawk.com/mantis/view.php?id=757

We are adding kits and packages which use tables external to the product table to store the relations ships. It would be advisable to change sub products to use this same method. Where we use an external look up table it use to identify which child products should be attached to the parent when purchasing the products.

EOS Online Merchant announces that its Event Management System has been updated with the following improvements as compared to the base CRE Loaded distribution:

1. Ability to link to multiple promotional links, independently to product categories, products, product specials and product manufacturers.

The Product Review System has received updates including additional rating fields, ability to edit and create new reviews from Admin and improved presentation. These features will also be applied to content reviews.

We recently began the migration of all product quantity tracking into a new table set and adding new user interface elements to support inventory tracking for all products.

As with previous releases this one is likely to include improvements which "break" osCommerce compatibility. In particular, granularity of language management has been somewhat improved, and the language system rebuilt to use RFC 3066 standard language identifiers rather than an arbitrary language ID. This has been extended to language directory names and other modifications to improve i18n utilitzation/compliance have been made.

Today we released EOS Online Merchant 0.52 Alpha.

This release features fixes of some of the more annoying display related bugs as well as improvements in the Admin reports from the standpoint of user interface consistency and accuracy of calculations. Also new to this release is our initial documentation package.
