Feature Requests item #769977, was opened at 2003-07-12 02:31 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=538277&aid=769977&group_id=73598 Category: Interface Improvements Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Shaun Murray (singletrack) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Expanded Categories/Shopping Sites Initial Comment: Don suggested I RFE'd an email I sent him earlier about expanding the remit of phpwsListings in a more shop style.... I'm doing a shopping cart/payment gateway mod at the moment and phpwsListing is on the face of it, nearly good enough to use as a shop mod provided I add on a payment method. Where there is a 'Mortgage calculator' plugin now, I add in an 'add to cart' button. Simple enough. The one thing I'd like to see though is an expanded way of categorizing items. As an example, say I'm a department store like http:// www.johnlewis.com I sell clothes, bedding, tools, crockery... etc. At the moment, phpwslistings has 'Listing class' so I could define a class for t-shirts (which come in S, M, L, XL) and ties (just the one size) and the forms would be just fine. These are both in the clothing department so it would be also useful to classify them as 'clothes'. Either you need to provide a mechanism of grouping listing classes or perhaps use fatcat to categorize them. That'd also tie in nicely with the rest of phpwebsite and offer multiple levels of categories. Once you've added categories, it opens up another bunch of possibilities like a lead listing or 'main featured listing' for that category. You could also do random listings within the category too. The other feature there would be 'Best Sellers' if I get the cart software up to scratch although perhaps 'Most Viewed' would also be nice for non-shop sites. 'Latest listings' might be good too. There's a whole bunch of blocks there. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=538277&aid=769977&group_id=73598 |
