Forum: Feature Requests

This is more so a long-term observation than an immediate request. Please take note of the following when you focus your attention on revamping the CP: My store currently has 800+ Options. As the CP works now, ALL of those options are added to every Edit Product page in the Control Panel.The...

Jamie... Will v3 have a "wish list" ability? I've seen many sites (and use a few) where you looking around the site, not ready to buy but, want to add items to your personal wish list. Then when you are ready (a few days, or weeks or whenever) you look at your wish list and add items to the...

What I would personally find useful under a product record is a Manufacturer or Supplier field. Perhaps even some extra fields so that you can enter the Supplier Tel: and Email for re-ordering. Sometimes I can't remember where I have got a certain product from so it would be useful there. ...

I figured I should ask this here, since a tweak in the internals of SC to make this happen should be part of the core cart operation. When a visitor puts items in their cart then decides to empty their cart, the steps are roughly as follows: View cart Select 'Empty Cart' Presented...

Jamie, I remember when I purchased a Dell (a few years ago) on line, it sent an email everytime the status of the order changed. This is a simple email similar to the "Shipping Status" email that you have now configured. Is it possible that you could write some code that sends an email every...

It would be great (esp. for clothing sites) to have the ability to "zoom" or see other views of an item on the detail view. Being able to see a closeup of the fabric or the stitching makes a real visual difference. I believe this is usually done with Flash but there are probably other ways?

I have a client that ships trees and the dimension sizes make a huge difference in shipping prices

Hi, An affiliate program was at an "ongoing development stage" back in 2004 and was going to be implemented in a "future" update. I don't want to sound impatient (6 years later), but did it ever happen? Did I miss it? Just curious as I would sooner give the Squirrelcart Developers my cash rather...

We have been monitoring our traffic for some time on our web site and notice that a lot of people are interested in the postage cost BEFORE they enter all their details. We have manu user accounts created without real names (ie Name a a addres: a etc) so they can just enter their postcode and...

I commend the SC team for their diligence and responsiveness to bugs and repairs to SC. However, most of the fixes involve navigating into the /squirrelcart/ folder and replacing files. While this method is effective, it makes for some ambiguity of whether a certain patch has been applied or not,...

I have a lot of customers who use PayPal. It would be a nice feature if those folks could have their shipping info filled in from their PayPal account. Most won't start an account in my store. The attitude is "why should I do that? I did it in PayPal!"

A few of the templates are used in such particular instances or only ever viewed by a customer, it is sometimes difficult to know what template changes will look like. For instance, Order emails only arrive when someone completes an order. And since there is no mechanism to resend order emails...

As far as I can see, the order that product options appear on product pages from sc_product() isn't the same as when displaying a final order via sc_order_detail(). It would be nice to have the options show up in the same order there as well, or at least the ability to make them do so.

It would be nice to have the ability to multiple thumbnails on the detail page. Customers would be able to see extra views and click on the thumbnail to enlarge the image. Thanks for your consideration. GC

Hey Jamie, Hate to sound like broken record, but searching around and I know you've been saying its been on the backburner for several years, just finally decided I needed it to keep up with my stuff better then my excel sheet. Any Idea if this will be out this year? or any plans to start...

I would like to see a feature where a product can listed but have a discontinued graphic added to it, similar to what happens when a product is New. Discontinued products can't be ordered, but they would continue to show up so that search engines can find the product. That way, folks may still...

I would like to see a new and what should be a very easy feature to implement. When an order status is changed, one is prompted to send an email to the person that made the order to advise them of the status change. What I would really like to see, and this may be a bit more complicated, is...

A new Option type, Number, that allows for only input of proper numerical data. Optionally, it could allow for decimal input, or only integers. Extending further, options for limiting the range of values could also be added; ie 0+, 0-, 1-15. Settings for this field would be similar to those...

This is a feature that I can use from time to time. I do not want this to be a hidden feature from customers. I would like a line item that can show an increase to the total shopping cart. I have customers that sometimes have weird tax laws. It would be nice if Customer A didn't follow the...

I have a slurry of feature requests for you. For one of our customers, we're using a shopping cart from another company that is, well, less than desirable. We have had to highly customize the code to add numerous features that this company couldn't do. In fact, they have features that they are...

Jamie, Would it be possible to add the ability from the Admin screens to send the information in the customers table to a flat file or email it in text to the admin's email address? I have a customer that is requesting this, I know the same could be accomplished by using phpMyAdmin but I don't...

Hi, I read a forum post from 2006 about adding a cross-sell feature to the cart? Please could you let us know if this is still planned development and when it could be expected. I think this feature is a standard offering on most shopping cart nowadays and a valuable tool to increase...

Is there a way in squirrel cart to automatically add a copyright watermark to each product image that we upload into our squirrel cart online store? If not, can you recommend a downloadable program that would work well for this? Please email me at: longarmsupplies@shaw.ca Thank you.
