Donator Thanked: 5 раз	Very nice basic shop system! Is it possible to add additional options to the products? Maybe you can use the extra fields with it? <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

Members Thanked: 12 раз	Thank you foxhound, what additional options were you thinking of?

foxhound	#4 18.12.2012 10:30
Donator Thanked: 5 раз	Well, I can not really say which options cause that depends on the product. But lets imagine you want to sell a bed there, the bed is available in 4 different measures. Depending the measures the price changes. By making those 4 measures an option with the product listed you prevent a shop owner from having to list the same product 4 times, each time for a different measure. All the shop owner does is add a product, add 4 different measures to be selectable and all those 4 measures get their own price. I hope the above makes it a little bit more clear, if not I can show you maybe some examples. <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

Members Thanked: 12 раз	I get what you are saying. Shouldn't be a problem.

Contributors Thanked: 12 раз	Nice shop plugin :) It would be nice to display a message through cot_messages() once somebody performs an action in shopping cart (like update quantity). But overall very nice!

Members Thanked: 12 раз	Plus it looks like its storing peoples bank/card details? Added 4 hours later: Twiebie's suggestions: Add ability (tag) to show a quick list of what is currently in the shopping cart. So a customer can see in the blink of an eye how much the total price of everything in his basket is while shopping. Feature for custom shipping costs, maybe depending on destination, weight, size, etc. Receipt/order confirmation via email and confirmation of payment via email, that sort of thing. List of orders in the administration panel and feature that allows an admin to simply change the status of an order, bit like the ticket/support module. So an admin can change the order status to 'Dispatched' when an item has been sent. Send email automatically on order status change. What you have in most webshops.
