1.0.9.2 is almost all changes in the Admin Side

[burt]

1.0.9.2 is 99% changes in the Admin area. As well as change in the Install SQL.

Now is your chance to;

1. request cosmetic changes to any part of the Admin
[eg: Customer ID is now a column on admin/customers.php]
2. request optimisations to existing Admin codebase
[eg: the Total Revenue Dashboard module has been optimised rather elegantly]
3. request new pre-placed hooks
4. request for existing uninstalled Core Modules to be turned on "out of the box"
[eg: the SEO modules are now installed when shop is installed]
5. request for existing installed Core Modules to be turned off "out of the box"

Or any other request you wish to make. All requests/ideas will be gladly received, I cannot promise that all will be acted upon but at least it will give us a steer for future versions of Phoenix.

If you are going to request an Addon to be made Core Code, please think twice and then three times on it prior to posting...
Would the Addon be used by vast majority of shopowners?
Is the Addon an Admin side addon?
Is the Addon well coded?
Is the Addon license suitable for Core Code?

Very good news

I dream of an admin/catalog.php that can be modularized like the Pi modules in product_info.php
It will be more convenient and faster than tabs.

yeah it would be nice if we could "turn off" the fields we have no use for

Sort-able Order status, ability to click on customer there too.

Thank you for the ideas, please keep them coming.

Remove input of 'Products Quantity' from Edit Product and New Product and make a product receiving module with input of Supplier, Cost, stock location, Invoice number and date.

Searchable product sold history to link Invoice number and customer. Or at least make changes the database to allow this as a standard for Dev's in the future so plugins for this would be consistent and avoid a duplication or pollution of the database structure.


On my wish list for Phoenix.

Put specials entry boxes in catalog page along with Products Price


Oh and while on the catalog page having the input boxes loaded the same way as the customer data would be good too

Great ideas, please keep them coming.

Part of the point of these admin side changes is to allow addon makers to do more, and easily.

As a quick example, I made a script which allows Shopowner to add a Customer from within Admin, see images below. All done, from 1.0.9.2 onwards with ZERO CORE CODE CHANGES.

Imagine you, shopowner, on the phone to a customer who is maybe not internet-savvy. Here you can make an account and then simply tell him to go to the shop side login page (note the second screen shot does not show full page, but it is, more or less, a copy of your shop-side create account page).

1. Add a Button in the top right called "Add A New Customer"

add_customer_1.jpg

This button opens up a new page which allows Customer Details to be inserted

2. Insert Customer Details, scroll down and press "Save"

add_customer_2.jpg

This redirects back the customers.php page which (obviously) shows the new Customer

3. New Customer showing in the list of Customers

add_customer_3.jpg

Obviously this is a new install so only shows one customer

Take note, this is all done with NO core code changes at all.
There is no other cart that can do this, this easily.

Have a product 'status' as a drop down {editable reasons like order status allows user to define them} to allow more status like 'Obsolete' 'Do Not Reorder' 'Archived' etc. instead of just
in stock/out of stock, maintain existing core comparability by each of the new Status's being in-stock/out of stock.

This way there's more info about why an item is not in stock and an expanded admin search could be made ..later on.. baed on the status of items with some items status to determine if be left from searches both admin and client side. The use of this could be very helpful to plugin authors.

On my current site (Ms2.2) I did this (in red the English translation) but as a radio button, which allows more possibilities.
For example when "Product status is in stock" and "supplier stock is permanent shutdown", the text on a yellow background appears: "last items available, manufacturer permanent shutdown".

This sort of thing will be very easy to do if admin/catalog.php could be modularized like the Pi modules in product_info.php
