| Olédrion, a native e-Commerce module for XOOPS by Instant Zero | ||
| Published: | Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:10:00 -0400 | |
| Description: |   The XOOPS Community will finally have a native top-notch eCommerce module! In 2006, for two of our clients we developed Bookshop, an eCommerce Xoops module for selling books. Development of this module was a great learning experience and we've received a lot of feedback and ideas from its users, so we decided to developed something more generic - Olédrion. Olédrion (which previously was also named "Myshop") is a Xoops module based entirely on Bookshop, but which allows the sale of any items, not only books, i.e. sale of "physical" products as well as of intangible products (such as PDF or download files for example). We are very pleased to announce that today we are releasing this revolutionary native XOOPS eCommerce module to the XOOPS Community Before to give you a summary of the module's features, we would like to draw your attention on 2 points: 1) The module requires PHP 5 (a very recent version) 2) A recent version of MySQL is also necessary (at least a 4.3) Here is a brief summary of its features: 1/ Vendors manager 2/ VAT (Value Added Tax) manager 3/ Categories manager 4/ Manufacturers manager 5/ Advanced products management (with the possibility of linking an unlimited number of files for each product) 6/ Orders manager 7/ A very advanced Discounts manager 8/ Newsletter 9/ Inventory Control 10/ Online and off-line payment 11/ Use an internal cache to limit Mysql queries 12/ RSS 13/ Integrated with the XOOPS search (and advanced search) 14/ Notifications system for sales 15/ Several blocks 16/ Integration of the XOOPS comments 17/ URL Rewriting 18/ Compatibility with XOOPS 2.0.18.2 AND XOOPS 2.3 The module is available in French and English. The English translation is not of good quality so we are looking for people to improve it. We are also looking for translations into other languages. If you are able to translate the module in your own language, we would be grateful if you could contact us through our website. Writing documentation is underway and once again, we will call for the community to help us in its translation into various languages. The module's Logo and Icon were difficult to find, therefore we would love to receive some ideas from the artistic talents of the XOOPS community. With regard to the discounts manager, we tried to make a manager that is as flexible as possible. However, each case is unique and you should no doubt that it's not possible to make a module that meets the demand for each, therefore there might be some customization needed. Similarly, on methods of payment, there are an infinite number of online payments, some are even specific to some countries. At the moment, the module comes with 2 methods of payment: 1) Paypal (which is an online payment widespread and very reliable) 2) "off line" payment (you can validate orders manually) If you need an online payment method or a specific discount manager, different from what is currently in the module, you can contact us so that we estimate the work needed.

| New Module Logo design for XOOPS 2.3 | ||
| Published: | Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:10:00 -0400 | |
| Description: | In preparation for XOOPS 2.3 release, we're changing the Module Logo design. As mentioned in our WOX Newsletter #10, our XOOPS Friends in Spain Eme3Design developed a new look for the standard Admin Theme (see here...). We liked the idea a lot, so we've decided to follow it and change the logos for the XOOPS 2.3 release as well, but with a blue color. We believe that the new design makes them look more modern, professional, and hip   We would like to see all the XOOPS modules that have been successfully tested for XOOPS 2.3, to change their logos to the new look, so our users know that a particular module will work in 2.3. Some of the modules logos could look like this:  Of course, it's up to the module designers to finalize their module's logos, but we hope that the logos will share similar look and feel with XOOPS logos. As always, we're looking for talented graphic designers to help us and those module developers, who might not be so good in graphics design. And congratulations to Eme3Design for their great design ideas! more... |
