List of Proposed Changes for next version

I it possible to give us a list of the changes you are expecting to put into the next release.

I am holding of on a decision if I should use this based on what will be in the next version ( mainly replacing the tables based design with CSS ) and it would help the decision process.

Hi All,

excelent Software !!! much better than dashcommerce !!!

But i miss in both Tools the posebility to have Localized Categorys, Vendors and Products (Discription, Names) and all the other infos what are needet for an World wide acting Shop.

Go on like this !!!

Thanks! Localizable products/categories will be available little later.

Something I think would be quite useful is to build in a banner/advert system.

What I would probably do is extend the existing ASP.net banner control and have it retrieve information from the db.

Requirements:

> An admin user can create an unlimited number of banners
> Banners can be grouped into different categories
> A banner url can be set to either a category or product (so clicking on the banner will take you to the relevant page)
> A banner can have a start date and an end date (after which the banner has expired)
> A banner can be set to default. If there is more than one default banner then they are rotated based on their priority (see below)
> A banner can have a priority level set. The priority determines the likelihood of the banner being displayed (within it's category)
> A banner should record how many times it has been clicked. This opens up the ability to have third party banners on your site and charge "per click"
> Standard properties such as alternate text and target window can be set within the gui
> The banner images will be uploaded using the existing upload functionality. It is down to the user to create the banner at a specific size.

The way I see this working is that you could create a Category "HeaderBanners" and a Category "SideBanners". Your HeaderBanners will be larger banners set to scale the full width of your page. The SideBanners may be smaller images advertising things like free shipping etc.

So then on the markup of your page you could have something like:

<nop:Banner ID="banHeader" runat="Server" BannerCategory="HeaderBanners"/>

or

<nop:Banner ID="banSide" runat="Server" BannerCategory="SideBanners"/>

If this is unlikely to make it into the new release (let me know if it is) then I will probably write this feature myself and submit for the next release.

Thanks,

Ben
