After some 4-5 months getting used to the shop, i thought now would be a great time to update this thread.

Our shop has been busy, on average selling 2 items a day for the last 6 months. The shop item transactions is BIG !

Here are some recommendations for the next version, that i have had trouble with in the past few months:

1) As previously stated the add user needs a search instead of a drop down of all users (we currently have over 7000 members) so it gets confusing using the current drop down.

2) The select item in the Add User needs the catogorie where the download is, unfortunately we have 2 items named the same but in different areas of the shop so a catogorie where the item is would be ideal.

3) The Transaction logs could do with a delete option (we currently have 22 pages of old transactions) Also continuing with the transactions it could do with a search function as its a nightmare trying to find a client who has submitted a fraud paypal claim and you are trying to find the buggers transaction in the shop)

4) The Item manager could do with a search/find option too as we are now have over 90 items in the shop and growing every week, it again becomes time consuming looking through every page for your item you want to edit, i know alternatively you can edit the item from the shop page, but it would be a cool adittion.

5) How about being able to have a sale on ALL items ? i know you can offer a discount on individual items, but say we want a winter/summer sale and add a discount of 10% to all items, it would be crazy going through every single item (90+) adding a discount.

Apart from those small points above the shop has excelled and our site would be nothing without it! Im very very happy with it overall and the above points are only ideas, i would love to have the search functions on certain admin pages as its a nightmare some times.

Is there a planned update in the future ?

Yeah, there is always a planned update, but at this time I don't have a set date. That being said, this next release will focus on usability and stability but will also probably have some new features also.

I do like all of your ideas and too add to your #4 I think it would be cool to be able to export transactions to csv by date range along with delete a date range.

For #1, a temporary fix is to click the select box and start typing a username.

Refrence #1 i tried that and for the life i couldn't get the bugger to work ! i know you have to do it super fast too... but when you have a stupid name it gets hard for a biff like me to type real quick .... when im using my elbows to type !! lol

Nice work m8, im looking forward to it... If you want to jump into our shop admin and have a play with a large shop DB then your more than welcome to

How about a discount code ie enter a code to get a discount on items/all items ?

Ive been thinking about how to promote shop items, i thought about being able to offer discount to old clients good supporters by emailing a discount code on future products... hence why the mod request... ?

WHat you think ? Razz
