phpgiftreg-develop — Regarding development, feature request, and bugs

[phpgiftreg-develop] Committed some files

[Ryan W. <gen...@ya...>]

In the spirit of release-early-release-often, I just committed all the
work I've done since 1.4.  It adds messaging-by-email, fixed injection
bugs (all, I hope), quantities (mostly complete) and an increased dollar
amount.  I'm not going to cut a release.  You'll need to get the new files
out of anonymous CVS.

If you want to try it out, you'll need to run 1.4.x-to-1.5.0.sql but BACK
UP YOUR DATABASE FIRST!

$ mysqldump -u jack --password=jill phpgiftreg > backup.sql

If you want to be really helpful, let me know what version of MySQL you're
using after you run the upgrade script.

Personally, I think multiple quantities is going to be a continued nagging
problem, because of issues like this:
a) if John says he wants 10 pairs of pants, and people mark off 7 pairs
for him, then he changes his mind and decreases the quantity to 5, what
happens?
b) (you'll understand this when you try the Receive Item process) if John
says he wants 10 pairs of pants, what's stopping him from doing a Receive
Item from everyone and checking the Pants item after every one to see when
it goes down?

Anyhow, quantities *work* (although the shop.php doesn't respect
$OPT_anonymous_purchasing for multi-quantity items).  If you want to shut
it off, there's a new $OPT_multiple_quantities in config.php.

Enjoy, and comment directly to me or to the list or forums.

Thanks,
Ryan Walberg

[phpgiftreg-develop] Status update

[Ryan W. <gen...@ya...>]

Yep, 1.5 is being worked on.  
 
Currently, I have quantity support in place. There are some issues that
should be commented on to avoid making changes later. Please feel free to
followup by e-mail or in this forum. 
 
Issues at hand: 
a) Since now you can reserve a quantity of an item *and* purchase a
quantity, when you purchase an item and have some on reserve, does it
decrement the amount reserved by the amount you purchase? 
b) Now there must be a function in your own item list called "Item
Received" which will decrement the amount purchased. But you must say who
you received the item from, so it should present a list of all people who
shop for you. (It can't show a list of people who bought it for you,
because then you'd know about any as-yet-unreceived purchases.) 
 
Other features that will be included: 
a) fixing all potential SQL injection spots 
b) sortable shopping list 
c) sortable "My Items" list 
d) changeable currency 
e) option in your profile that says if you want all messages addressed to
you to be sent by e-mail as well (done) 
f) table prefixes to support multiple installations in one MySQL database 
g) increasing maximum dollar amount 
 
Items I want to include, but may not be able to in this release: 
a) price range 
b) mutually-exclusive items 
 
Thanks for your patience.
