Not wanting to put my foot into any sort of politics here, but I see several references to know bugs in this forum going back to at least January, and even code patches floating around and people sending one another fixed dll's.

I myself have made a couple of changes to my copy of the source - to enable UK style vat handling (ie show VAT inclusive prices in the mini-cart and the main 'basket'), and to fix the emailing to use the main DNN settings, and most importantly from my point of view to fix the second email sent to customers when using Paypal, to NOT show just afghanistan as their address. Also I've got mine showing the orderStatus on those emails so they don't just get two identical emails, the first one shows the order as Pending, the second (after they've done paypal) shows as Paid.

Is anyone else interested in these fixes?

I'd like to be able to share these fixes with 'the community' without posting code patches or emailing people 'fixed' dll's. How should I go about doing this?

I am exactly in the same situation. Have implemented about 30 fixes and enhancements to the store module and now I am wondering how to synchronize this stuff with next official module release (if any?) Also I attach my voice to Dave’s subject question above…

Hello Dave,

The store team is now testing version 2.1.7, one of the most awaited feature beeing the quantity in stock management.

As for bug fixes or suggestion, please send them to Gilles ( gilles at dotnetnuke . fr ) This is the most efficient way to get them included into the code.

Correction : Any issue and enhancement suggestion needs to be entered into the public issue tracker at support.dotnetnuke.com and will be validated by the QA team. We'll review them there.

What so specific about the UK vat ?

The country list is DNN's list, not store, and Afgfhanistan comes first. Next version will remember the customer's adress so everybody should read his own country rather than the standard list. As a quick hack any admin may change the country list and get whatever country he wants to come first

We hope to push version 2.2 into the release tube next week.

Thanks for coming back Benoit,

The 'standard' in the UK for retail sales is to show all prices including tax, and only show the tax breakdown at the final checkout stage. It's easy to tweak the templates to show the VAT price in the catalog and product detail views, but the mini-cart and 'basket' show just the excluding-tax prices (which is seriously confusing if the catalog and product detail pages show the including-tax prices). Essentially the fix is to have a boolean option on both baskets to say whether to show the price including or excluding tax.

The Afghanistan problem I was refering too is the underlying 'forgetting the address' problem you mention. That was a show-stopper for me - there's no way I could send my customers an email with a blank address, even if the country is correct, it must show the full address. So it's great news that you guys have fixed this in the main branch. Personally I felt it important to have OrderStatus in those emails too as receiving multiple otherwise identical emails is confusing.

There seem to be quite a few people in this forum who are comfortable hacking on the source. Is it possible for us to get read-access to the development branch of the code so that we can be beta testing this new release before you guys finalise it? It would help those of us happy to use 'unsupported' versions, and presumably would give you guys extra testing resource. It would also give us some extra time to fold our own changes into the new release.

Dave

Regarding the VAT, the good news is that it works everywhere the same, there is nothing UK specific there. The point that you mention makes sens in any other european country and it deserves a comment in it's own post, so I'll be back on that later.

Regarding beta testers, the problem is that we get very little feedback from testers. Seems that everybody wants to have a look at the new features, but nobody wants to do the dirty job : doing stupid or extraordinary things that the developpers has never done before, and try to crash the code. If someone is serious about sending me his feedback, he can email benoit at dotnetnuke. fr
