This week in LFS (29)

This are the LFS news for week 29.

New Shop:

In the last couple of weeks we migrated http://www.demmelhuber.net/shop from EasyShop (Plone - http://www.geteasyshop.com) to LFS. Demmelhuber is a (inofficially) top-500 shop in germany and has >1000 unique visits per day. This give LFS a lot of requirements and use cases from a power user (e.g. interfaces to ERP, ebay, amazon, price comparing portals a powerful management interface, etc.).

Products: 

• Display and find only active products.

Variants:

• Variants can now be sorted within the product. 
• Some improvements concerning data inheritance from the base product.

Criteria:

We added some more criteria: combined length and girth, valid shipping/payment methods (which opens some powerful possibilities to make shipping/payment methods dependent from each other) and some others.

Addresses/Localization:

Michael created a branch for the dynamic display of certain address fields, like state and country. This is (could be) a start for some kind of localization (addresses, currencies, etc.). We need some more insights and discussions. So if you are interested don't hesitate to get in touch.

Carts:

Added first simple views to manage carts (this needs more improvements).

Bugfixes / Cleanups:

• A lot of template cleanups. 
• Several bugfixes concerning to variants.
• Several bugfixes concerning to the checkout page.

SWFUpload:

I still don't get SWFUpload with lighttpd or Apache/WSGI to work (frankly, I don't really tried it very hard). Anyway, with Apache/FastCGI it's working here.

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