Hi, when you visit http://nopcommerce.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets

you will see the list of changesets - on the upper right of the screen you will see the word 'download' (between the words'clone' and 'follow') click it to download the latest source code.

don't confuse this link with the one that says 'downloads' which appears to the right of the highlighted words 'source code'

hope this is clear :-)

The beta code sports version 2.80 until official release AFAIK.

*Just checked version is changed to 3.00*

On another note I downloaded the current version from Downloads> Download nopCommerce and did not get past Prepare.bat
Encountered an error

One more thing, I've noticed category titles are now present - I think they look better centred and even better after the Sort by/ Page View?

Ah, see it now - giess thats what happens with tired eyes !

I'm wondering about the language used to describe vendors and I think it's a little confusing i.e. I think it is confusing to use the term 'vendor manager' to describe the vendor assosiated with a customer


So, I know this is purely semantics but i think it would be more clear if we used slightly different (and consistent ) terms  ie

on Admin/Vendor/List
we should use the term 'Vendor ID' instead of 'Vendors'


then on
Admin/Customer/Edit/
instead of the new term 'manager of vendor'  we  should reuse the same term 'Vendor ID'
also, the first item in the drop down shouldn't be 'No Vendor' but instead something like 'Not a Vendor'

The tooltip wording and 'note' should also use the term 'vendor id'


opinions ??
