E-Commerce - Call for Developers, testers etc
Hi all, As a lot of people here know E-Commerce is a great set of modules and adds a lot of functionality to Drupal that a lot of web site use and love. A lot of high profile sites like goodstorm.com, and many others use E-Commerce. The unfortunate thing is that with the major changes to Drupals formapi, and many other changes the current CVS version of E-Commerce is not working. With the pending release of Drupal 4.7 we need to fix this problem. This is a large job and I really need help to get this done. I know that I have had kind offers from Bryght to use the svn servers to coordinate the development, but because of the type of system E-Commerce is I feel that the level of accountability needs to be higher. We need to be able to track every change back to the developer that made it. So making the changes in Bryghts svn server and coping the blob of changes to drupals contributions is not going to be acceptable. Since we have a code management system in Drupal (namely cvs) which works fine and most of the E-Commerce developers have contributions cvs write access, I am going to get everyone to commit changes directly into contributions. For developers without cvs access please email me the patch and I will commit them. For testing I have built a web site http://ecommerce.heydon.com.au which is updated from cvs every 3 hours. so any testers can test the latest version of ecommerce, can create a login at the above site, and if you need administrator access, just email me, and I will give it too you. If the frequency needs to be increased I will increase it. I have started converting the store.module to 4.7, and if I can't find someone suitable to do the product module I will also be doing this. Other wise people can email me what they are going to be doing, so that I can coordinate it. I will also be trying to hang out in IRC a bit more so that I can be contacted easier. I would like people to work on the core modules first, but any help is welcome. Thanks for any help that people can give. Gordon.

Are you publicly or privately coordinating who is doing what, and if publicly, where can I go look up the info? -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadae.net/ jason@oadae.net

At http://ecommerce.heydon.com.au I have created a page with a list of all modiles and who is doing what. Gordon.
Hi Gordon, I'd be happy to put my name down for upgrading cart.module, and then seeing how I go after that. I've been doing a lot of module development with the 4.7 code base and the forms API recently, so I guess I'm reasonably qualified to help out. :-) I've also found E-commerce to be of use in a number of projects - although I've stuck mainly to the core system, and haven't looked under the hood much before now. Jaza.
Everyone, alas I do not really have the time to do actual porting but if you have form API questions, just drop me a mail, use IM (details in private) and ask. I'll do my best to answer. I usually do it anyways, but mention that you are doing ecommerce porting and you get an answer faster :)
Hi, Thanks for this, This is most appreciated. Any help will allow us to get this done faster. Thanks again. Gordon. On Sat, 2006-01-07 at 12:04 +0100, Karoly Negyesi wrote:

I have a number of items that I have requested in the past for changes to enhance ecommerce. I realize that the major push at this point is to get it working at all with the new forms, but some of them may be easy to incorporate in the process. Here are the forum pages: http://drupal.org/node/6034 Discounts http://drupal.org/node/6033 Fixed shipping costs http://drupal.org/node/6038 Taxes http://drupal.org/node/6032 Handle donations http://drupal.org/node/36306 Add an optional comment field for each item ordered http://drupal.org/node/36307 Add general form fields to order page http://drupal.org/node/6035 PayFlow (see below) http://drupal.org/node/36304 If only one payment method available skip screen asking for which payment method Some of these have been addressed at least partially since submission. I will test any of these features in the new code. Payflow - there is some code that Chad did for us on early versions of 4.7 that no longer work at all on current versions. This needs to be integrated in (as well as the other non-PayPal payment methods. I do not know core coding well enough to contribute much but I have a very vested interest in getting PayFlow to work, so please put the code in the tree and I will test it against the new base code and perhaps fix some bugs where I understand them well enough.
Gordon My contribs are COD, Service, and UserPoints. UserPoints is about 80% migrated to 4.7. I still have to a) find time, and b) figure out form_item() and form_set_error() migration to FormAPI. I will get to COD and Service at some point.
Hi, Thanks I have added your name Gordon. On Sat, 2006-01-07 at 10:58 -0500, Khalid B wrote:

Hi Gordon, I've developed a few sites with 4.6 and E-Commerce so I feel quite confident with it. However my experience with the new 4.7 is still very little. I feel like I have to help to this port of e-commerce to 4.7 So I would like to try with the shipping.module first. Robert Garrigos Gordon Heydon wrote:

Hi, Thanks for this, I am going to update the page. Gordon. On Sat, 2006-01-07 at 08:47 +0100, Robert Garrigós Castro wrote:
