This week in LFS (34)

Sorry for being quite for such a long time. We'll try to be more regular in future.

There has been a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks. Here are the important things:

Improvements

  • A more generic and flexible category tree (added start level and expand level)
  • Better manage views for products, customer, orders, carts, reviews
  • Improved topseller portlet
  • Removed all URLs from Javascript

Bugfixes

  • Calculation of average rating
  • Calculation of delivery time for variants
  • Take care of non active products at several places (e.g. product navigation).

New stuff

  • Pluggable credit cart handling (needs some improvements though)
  • Pluggable generic export of products

 

And that's all for this week. Next week there will be more about LFS.
