I'm new to nopcommerce and I think it is a wonderfull piece of software. But I think the category view in the admin is somewhat plain and confusing as it is. I want to change the admin category for it to look like the one from Magento. I like it because it still simple in looks but has a beter visual management of root categories and sub-categories. And it shows the number of products in each category.
For those that don't know: http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/6776/category.jpg
Is it too dificult to code the total products on each category? And the tree visuals? I'm asking before I start to code here and this proves difficult...
If I can pull it out, I will share with everyone of course...
Well I have both ComponentArt WebUI ASP.NET/AJAX and OBOUT ASP.NET suite, both have very nice treeviews. Anyway Ablecommerce (a very nice software) uses a lot of ComponentArt WebUI and it is fast. I've used ComponentArt WebUI for a number of projects, but never the treeview. I still prefer OBOUT ASP.NET though.
Do you accept code contributions? I was looking at how categories work at nopcommerce and I think I can make a nice looking treeview for nopcommerce using OBOUT treeview.
i like those tools too but the problem is that not everybody has them , not everybody can have them or can purchase them.. and mainly, the project is a good open source solution also because it is all hand crafted and does not rely on third paty tools with no source code access.
