Improve add products to a products block

2012-02-25T03:58:36-08:00

tonycoffey suggested:
if you add a products block to a page,you have to add products one by one,that's mean you have to add one and click "add and closed " to add another one,why you not change it to "save and continue to add "

Improve the Front Products Search

if we setup products code for each products,but can not search it directly in search bar in sitefront and background, we have to open the advanced search option to type in the products code to search,it's not convient for use. Improve the Front Products Search

Cross Selling Feature

2012-02-25T03:45:59-08:00

tonycoffey suggested:
Cross Selling Feature-----when it will be available for CS-CART? Cross selling is offering a customer products or services related to each other. By bundling items on one page, you offer more options for customers. Cross selling increases conversion rates and demonstrates the diversity of your products.

Add global options admin name in addition to display name [updated]

2012-02-24T19:48:27-08:00

Please add the ability to give global options an Admin name separate from the name displayed in the storefront (e.g., Admin name = Shirt colors and Admin Name = Pant colors would both have the display name "Color") Please see this thread for discussion: http://forum.cs-cart.com/showthread.php?t=16736

Eugene Smirnoff said:

This is very good idea. I have few options with the same name and it's hard to pick right one w/o description or admin side name.

Create a developer front-end skin [updated]

2012-02-24T11:24:46-08:00

Please create a skin that can be used by developers to aid in the creation of a brand new custom skinned CS-Cart store. The current skins contain far too much presentation code to start off a new store with so this developer skin should contain just the very basic elements that are needed. For example the overall layout, blocks. The number of divs, classes and spans should be dramatically reduced and the stylesheets should contain only essential rules. This developer skin could be added to the current list of skins available upon install and should be upgraded to match new version of the cart.

Standardize templates on Grid [updated]

2012-02-22T10:40:29-08:00

create a base blank template based on 960 grid and allow for blocks to be moved to any of the 16 (?) blocks on the grid for unique template layouts and customization.

knoxbury said:

standardization, great. 960, bad. This will shrink the amount of screen real estate we have available in the current version ... i.e. we'll be going backwards.

Add multiple products to the cart with one "Add to Cart" button [updated]

2012-02-21T21:49:51-08:00

Ability to add multiple products to the cart with one "Add to Cart" button. This was available in 1.3.5, but removed from the 2.0.x versions. This feature should also allow different quantities added for the individual products. This feature should list each product on its own entity line in the View Cart Page. This is different from the Configurator or Buy Together feature that lists the products together in the same group on the View Cart Page and ties the quantity together.

Anonymous said:

AKA "Product as Option"
Many other carts have this. The ability to assign one product as an option of another, with a qty box ! This would make csCart So much easier to configure and better for customer experience. Zen cart does it !

Store Email Management [updated]

2012-02-21T21:41:58-08:00

There is a huge need for better control of all communications/emails sent from the store. We need the ability to have our own footer as well as header on all emails including choosing which header/footer to use for a particular type of email. An email center/tab in admin to manage and create emails, attach them to processes such as order status etc.

Also, keep in mind that when using suppliers, each supplier needs a different Purchase Order notification layout. And other Supplier info is needed on the Supliers order email such as
Firstname lastname (It had this when suppliers was an addon in 2.0.15 but I think someone from the Apple team got employed at cs-cart and decided that it wasnt needed)
Account number

Vendor Storefront - Change Design/Layout [updated]

2012-02-19T01:36:36-08:00

You should be able to customize each storefronts look and feel. A new template should be able to be applied to each vendor if they request it OR atleast have a few option/templates to select from. On a basic level, colours should customizable. This prevents all stores looking the same.

Daniel van Schoor said:

I agree, this product is so close to being usable. The current form needs this modifcation done.

blocks functionality improvement

2012-02-16T00:20:14-08:00

Anonymous suggested:
1. There is no ability to add created forms to blocks, at the moment it is possible to add just polls. It would be great to have this ability in future versions. In addition now polls are added to blocks, but work without using AJAX. It would be nice if all polls and forms work without reloading the page. 2. The logic of adding the Poss block is not clear enough. It is possible to fill in the block contents manually, but impossible to add the same poll to many products at once. In other words the same operation is to be performed for each product. Create various types of filling contents of this block, not only manual. 3. It would be good to have more types of filling contents of the Products block. Namely: products of a certain category where the category can be selected by some parameters. Products in a certain price range where the range can also be selected by some parameters. Products with a certain set of filters which can be defined in advance. Such a block is required, for example to show similar products of one collection on the product description page, show products of the same category having almost the same price and show other products with similar features on the product description page. It is extremely tiring to fill in such a block manually.

Uservoice integration into CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Admin Area

2012-02-15T14:29:43-08:00

Darrell Francis suggested:
I think it would be fantastic to have Uservoice integration into the Multi-Vendor admin area of CS-Cart. Uservoice integration with Single Sign-On would allow site administrators to communicate with vendors quickly and efficiently. Benefits to new vendors 1. Knowledge Base - easily find answers to frequently asked questions 2. Helpdesk - for quickly solving all B2B related queries Also instant feedback and streamlined communications between all admin users and vendors. A truly integrated partnership

Addd Home Navigation Icon

2012-02-15T12:05:15-08:00

knoxbury suggested:
It would be really helpful if you added a home image icon to the main nav bar on the front end just like you have in the admin panel on the back end. Of course you could make this optional as a setting like "show home page icon in navigation" to turn it on or off. But this is a very simple change that makes the navigation much more simple.

Central Product Database - No Duplicates [updated]

2012-02-15T07:54:30-08:00

If two vendors both sell the exact same product it will cause lots of duplicate products. What about a way for a vendor to add a product and an auto-complete/ajax tells if the product already exists in the database. If yes, the vendor selects this. On the main store , if someone selects the ipod, you can sort by vendor review rating or price.

Karl said:

I have reviewed tens of different solutions and from my perspective this is vital functionality for a Multi Vendor store.
Everything else seems to be there for CS-Cart, with that too, it would be my first choice to purchase.

Shipping Methods: Assign/limit by category, item, etc. [updated]

2012-02-14T14:49:02-08:00

I'd like to be able to assign or limit shipping methods based on various options, like category, item, location, etc... For example, I have some items that MUST be shipped only by overnight or next day UPS or FedEx. I have other items that MUST be shipped only by Ground carrier. Currently, all shipping options are available regardless of category or product, and it causes problems with having to contact customers to change their shipping method, cost, etc.

BarryH said:

This addon from Alt-Team would give CS Cart a great deal more flexbility for sellers using multiple shipping methods and or suppliers or those that simply have a few products that need "special" handling. CS Cart should develop something like this for future versions ....

VAT exemption [updated]

2012-02-13T23:03:09-08:00

in Europe the VAT tax is applied depending on the seller location, the buyer location and if the buyer is a company or an individual. Take our example: we are an italian company selling our products online: 1) if buyer is from Italy too >> VAT is always applied, no matter if the buyer is a company or an individual 2) if buyer is from another EU country >> VAT is applied if the buyer is an individual only; not applied if it is a company 3) if buyer is from a country outside EU >> VAT is never applied Additionally, an official online database exists to check the VAT numbers validity: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/

2012-02-13T09:35:22-08:00

Modern methods of Vimeo, YouTube embedding etc. rely on the <iframe> tag, not the <embed> tag. To ensure mobile support for included videos, CS-Cart needs to support the usage of the <iframe> tag in product descriptions and blocks.

editable dashboard settings [updated]

2012-02-07T08:34:10-08:00

Many of my customers like to log in daily just to get a quick idea of how their site is doing. They all have slightly different ideas of what should be on the dashboard. (After upgrading to 2.2.1 one of my clients was very upset that the declined orders no longer showed up in the dashboard, another was upset that the YTD totals disappeared) It would be nice to have some simple admin settings so they can customize the main statistics just a wee bit to show what they want to see time-wise and order-wise.

ja said:

What about an customizable dashboard per admin user, restricted by role? Drag and drop different blocks or aspects of the cart back-end. Ie. typical dashboard, graphs.. or maybe a inventory person only can use inventory related blocks & reports. I like the idea of seeing rma stats, summary of outstanding activities (open orders, rma, approvals, etc...) also like to see at a glance most popular items, and stuff like that.

Seperate Support [updated]

2012-02-07T08:28:05-08:00

I would like to see any RMA/message be put into a seperate support section, more like a ticket system so staff can be assigned and the full conversation monitored with ease. Also with the implemention of a RMA system. also perphaps adding the tickets to orders so when we open the order staff can see the relevant messages to the orders.

ja said:

This kinda sorta exists today, but needs to be tweaked. I think the RMA add-on needs ability to support attachments and maybe a view on the dashboard with a message counter.

currency rate at placed orders should be static in DB [updated]

2012-02-04T00:39:07-08:00

Weird behaviour when using additional currencies... Base currency is EUR and customer uses USD currency. The item is 100EUR so their order/invoice shows a price of $150USD, the currency rate is 1.5. But when I change the rate to 1.4, his past 'completed' order/invoices will change the price to 107 EUR ($150USD divide by 1.4). This is incorrect because he paid 100 EUR and not 107 EUR. All placed orders and invoices should be have fixed amount at moment of placing that order.

imac said:

From the merged idea:
This feature is a must for merchants using currency conversions in their store.
EX:
- I buy from another country in Euros (primary currency)
- I sell to my customer in TRL (turkish lira) (secondary currency)
- I only display prices in TRL at the front-end
- If the currency rate changes after an order is placed, the order total and item prices of that order is only displayed based on the current rate.
- However for every order, the currency rate at the time of the order should be kept in the DB and the order total and item prices in the order should be displayed accoring to that specific rate value
