Can you give us a feature comparison to the RTO Stock Manager extension available here
https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/8402/rtostockmanager-extension-for-19.aspx What does it do different, the same, etc.
I am trying to decide if I want to go ahead and use the existing RTO option or wait for yours to become available.
Also, if I start by setting up a site with RTO, would I be able to easily switch to your extension if it is better for me?
Thanks ahead of time for your input and your development of this project.
I don't know exaclty how the add on you're referring to works because I haven't tested it out. I can tell you that it looks like it is designed to integrate into the Nopcommerce code whereas my application is going to be an independent windows application that only interacts with the database. I may do more development that integrates with the actual Nopcommerce code once version 2 is released. But right now I don't like trying to integrate with current code because there are issues with versions and such... interfacing with the database is much easier as the schema hasn't changed much across the versions so I can pretty much support all of the Nopcommerce versions without having to worry about compatibility issues.
I have been insanely busy of late and haven't had much time to work on any of my personal projects, but my workload has lightened up for the summer and plan on releasing this app soon. I want to rework the code a bit and then I have one more feature to add and it should be good to go.
If you're looking for something that can be used inside of the Nopcommerce online admin section, then you should definitely check the add on out. Even if you do decide to use the app that I will be putting out, you can still use it even with the add on installed in your admin seciton because my app doesn't work the same way. I don't use any of the Nopcommerce code... I just connect to the database and update the actual data.
