I announce you begin of development of Open Shop v2.0
1 new feature and 1 new configuration option already added:
- Added Price Policy for all products. Values: Normal or Call for price.
If set to Call For Price then product price is not visible and the product cannot be added into cart. Instead an Add A Quote form will be displayed to the customer. This can be VERY USEFUL to products such as custom services which as difficult to tell an exact price before contacting the customer (eg paint of a house, seminars, custom web development, etc)
- Added configuration option to hide tags in product's page.
Open Shop v2.0 will have more exiting new features* and a brand new design. Stay tuned!
If you have a feature request you may post it below.
* A feature that I plan to add is this: Option to add dynamic characteristics into a product cart item. Here is a usage example to understand why this can be VERY helpful: You have a product named "Domain registration". The customer can add it into a cart and buy it but you dont know which domain he wants to register. By using a dynamic attribute you can attach a custom characteristic (domain name) to this cart item.
-
Great news!
- I like the "Call for price" feature. Will this be a Global setting or it can be applied separately for individual products??
- Also the "Dynamic characteristics" will be very useful.
My requests:
1) As previously discussed :) that double click for the 3 buttons (add to cart, add to wishlist, add to compare list) should change and be more user friendly. Because many can not understand that by double clicking will lead them to another page.
2) Improvement in the way the Offers are displayed on eshop's home page.
-
"Call for price" can be applied to individual products. If it would be for all products then there would be no difference with the "Products catalog" option. So you can sell products A, B, C online and for products D, E display an inquiry form. This new feature is almost ready!
One new feature is been added that solves any display/style/functionality request: Open Shop templates. The "CSS" configuration option (by default "ios" style) changed to "Template". Open Shop templates are not limited in applying custom CSS, they can set custom HTML, javascript and functionality. Although to do such things requires some custom development you have the option to do it without modifying Open Shop source code.
Notes: v1.x "ios" CSS style will be converted to a v2.x template so if you use that option you will not have display changes to your site if you update from v1 to v2. If you use an other custom v1.x CSS style you will have to either use a v2.x template or convert it to a v2.x template. The "agora" template will be commercial.

Two recommendations from my experience of using Open shop, concerning the administration:
- Ability to copy products. As we can copy articles in Elxis CMS.
- This is when it comes to several products and you must add even more! After you create and save the new product, the product's listing brings you to the first page. It would be very useful to lead you to the page where the latest product is displayed.

Added licenses manager (LMS) for downloadable products. Licenses get generated in Open Shop based on multiple complex validation criteria you freely set. When you sell a product a license key is released and assigned to the customer automatically. The key is marked as "sold". Keys can also be marked as "Used" (built mostly for automated remote licensing activation systems). You can also manually change the status of a license key. Each product can have its own license keys. See screenshot on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/IsOpenSource/status/802941014017241088)
Copied from Open Shop related help:
Generated license keys are alphanumeric (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). You can set rules for validating purposes on generated keys. For example you can set the forth character to always be a letter (4:letter[A-Z]) or an integer greater than 5 (4:int[6-9]). You can also set mathematical sum rules. For example the sum for the 3rd and 7th character to be less than 12 (3+7:sum[0-11]) or the sum of all characters to be greater than 199 (all:sum[200-10000]). Note that letters can also be added in math operations. Their arithmetic value is based on an IOS cryptography algorithm (A=12, B=16, C=19, ..., Z=87). If you put too many, or too hard, rules then there might not be enough valid keys to generate.
The 2nd character should be a number greater than 7 2:int[8-9]
The 2nd character should be number 7 2:int[7]
The 2nd character should be a letter 2:letter[A-Z]
The 2nd character should be letter K 2:letter[K]
All characters should be integers all:int[0-9]
All characters should be letters all:letter[A-Z]
The sum of character 2 and 5 should be greater than 5 2+5:sum[6-100]
The sum of character 2 and 5 should be less than 8 2+5:sum[0-7]
The sum of all characters should be greater than 200 all:sum[201-10000]

WoW !!! :o

Great job datahell !

Updated development report for Open Shop 2.0
- Each product can have an after sales information link.
- Each immaterial product can have additionally a download-able documentation file.
- Each download-able product can have additionally a download-able file.
- Each immaterial/download-able product can have license keys using the Open Shop LMS extension (you can set how many per item, so you can create groups like 3 licenses pack).
- Local/Server/No SSL certificate option for automated payment tasks (like Paypal). Added Mozilla's PEM certificate file for PHP's CURL
- Payment transaction data as well as other information are now saved in order. There are 2 texts, one for the customer and one for the site administrator.
- Open Shop control panel has a new look.
- Elxis displays a full Open Shop menu in administration area under Extensions > Open Shop
- When you manually set an order as paid then can initialize the automated payment tasks without an online payment method (eg send downloadable products links and licenses to the customer) - this is still under development
- Much more changes...
-
According to what im reading, this is going to be a great update! :) Thank you very much Gianni

Added licenses manager (LMS) for downloadable products. Licenses get generated in Open Shop based on multiple complex validation criteria you freely set.
Could there be a function, in order the administrator/seller to manually input License codes for sale?
-
You manually set the generation rules but the keys themselves are generated automatically and saved in a special file. However if you dont want the automatic license keys generation feature you can upload your own license keys files with any keys you want... My recommendation is to use the automatic generated ones because, most probably, they will be better than yours as their generation follows mathematical and cryptography methods.
Note that this feature is already complete.
BTW some newer additions and improvements already implemented and finished:
1. CSV sales reports export replaced by Excel documents (xlsx).
2. Added statistical graphs
3. The administration css became almost images-free due to the usage of font awesome (Open Shop is compatible with Elxis 4.5 or newer)
4. Documentation file (downloadable) can be attached to immaterial products.
5. Information link can be attached to any product.
6. You can manually begin the "mark as paid" process from the admin area. This process mimics an online payment functionality (sends mail to the customer, invoice, download-able goods, etc).

Σωστός! ;)

Hello Datahell, just starting using Open Shop so my request can be obsolete but anyway .
I would like to suggest a Bulk import procedure for product using CSV or xls files ... if it's not already implemented :).
Jointly with Cron can be a great thing to have always synchronized price, quantity, from warehouse with the eshop.
Moreover will let user import 1000 or more product in a really simple way.
Let me know if can be possible to do.
-
Latest features implemented: Create pdf invoices, Excel export instead of csv, income report like an official logistics book (can be exported as excel too), mail pdf invoice to customer. More are coming :)
-
Import csv: More problems than solutions with this of the csv is freely generated. Maybe migration from an other specific shop system would be a better idea. In any case I cant do that now.
-
Impressive job !!!... :)
Count on me for italian transaltion !!!
About import csv or xsl. I've experience with prestashop that has CSV import function and it works pretty good.
Prestashop release the template with the first line filled; user should adapt his warehouse according the template filling the other line.
That's all !!!
IMHO using a generic way for importing product give us a great opportunity to migrate from another eshop or insert a lot of product in a really simple way.
Thank you for your attention.
-
Ciao Datahell here another useful (IMHO) request for the next Openshop:
Availability to can specify another e-mail adress where the Open Shop orders are sent. Currently order are sent to the site administrator e-mail but many times Site tech reference is not the same of the sales office.
Let me know about this request too.
Thank you in advance.
-
Ciao Datahell,
Always IMHO another useful option is to have an option that hide the price to all not registered users. Then to see the price user registration is required.
Shortly:
1) Bulk product Import option / procedure for massive product insertion using csv or xls;
2) Option to add another e-mail address specific for orders where the order taken from online ehop will be sent;
3) Option to hide price for not register users.
That's all :).
Thank you!!!

I attach screenshot of sample PDF invoice generated by Open Shop v2.0. The screenshot is smaller than the original dimensions.
Note 1: The invoices numbering format changed from E-{ID} to {YEARx}{MONTHx}-{IDx}
Where
YEARx: A for 2016, B for 2017, C for 2018, etc..., when Z letter is reached it starts back from A. For example for 2015 YEARx is "Z"
MONTHx: First 2 letters of order month. JA for January, FE for February, etc..
IDx: Incremental invoice number 0 padded (5 digits length minimum).
So for example invoice number BAU-00023 is the 23rd invoice in total of an order in August 2017.
AAP-00012 is the invoice number 12 of April 2016.
So all invoices of a year will start from the same letter.
Open payment invoices follow this format: OPN-{IDx}
Note 2: PDF invoices also have a barcode following the Code 128 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128) method (Europe's standard EAN only supports digits this is why I picked C128).

It's a BIG NEWS! Great job!
Thank you datahell.

Good new !!
First little problem:
Trying to update from 1.6 I've got this error:
ERROR in file /web/htdocs/www.algostream.cloud/home/components/com_shop/install.php line 112 Call to a member function getConfig() on a non-object
-
Oooops! I will fix it later as I am out of office now. If the installation was OK and you dont see errors when you edit/save products then you dont have to do anything.
Else login in phpmyadmin and execute the following SQL queries:
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_products` ADD COLUMN `callforprice` TINYINT(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_products` ADD COLUMN `docfile` VARCHAR(180) DEFAULT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_products` ADD COLUMN `doclink` VARCHAR(180) DEFAULT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_products` ADD COLUMN `licperitem` SMALLINT(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_orders` ADD COLUMN `dataprivate` TEXT;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_orders` ADD COLUMN `datacustomer` TEXT;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_openpay` ADD COLUMN `dataprivate` TEXT;
ALTER TABLE `elx_shop_openpay` ADD COLUMN `datacustomer` TEXT;
Sorry for the trouble.

Why does the admin receive Notifications of orders, twice in his email?
