A few years ago I made a system that allowed the Shopowner to create Email templates (which I call slugs) – these slugs are then used to create a completely hands off system of emailing your customers, these emails are not sent immediately, but are sent on a schedule (eg “happy birthday” email would go… Read More »

I set out to update some much older code which allows the shopper to select two (or more) products to compare them side by side.  New buttons in each product_info page Once the “Add To Compare” button is pressed, the user is shown a message, as so, and the Add To Compare becomes “Remove From… Read More »

A long time ago I wrote about protecting contact_us.php with a simple Maths question. See http://www.clubosc.com/add-math-protection-to-contact_us-php.html This has been possible in Phoenix for years, with no core code changes. Just upload a hook file and your contact_us is protected. hCaptcha I have just completed another way to protect your form, and this is available free… Read More »

I’m really glad I tried my best to keep osCommerce alive and somewhat relevant. Some people are not glad. It’s demoralising to see these images posted on the osCommerce forum – plain and simple, it’s bullying behaviour. UPDATE:The guy who posted this, now has this to say (after being tackled about his poorly coded addons):… Read More »

Open invitation for any ideas for small/medium modules that would be suitable for inclusion in the 28d Project for 2019. Now is your chance to get that module you always wanted at a bargain price, so let me know what you have in mind… Thanks.

Been slowly working on updating osCommerce from BSv3 to Bsv4 – mostly on my own as and when I can give some time… It’s now released, enjoy it.  Apparently there are some users in the osCommerce Forum who know Bootstrap 4, so you should be able to get some help.
