  • Latest Theme and Module Development Tools News – March 2011

    Since Prestashop 1.4 has now gone into production,  the original Smarty debug module has been updated to support the latest features. Specifically this means that you should be able to debug both Smarty v2 and Smarty v3 Pretashop themes using the tool. You can read more about it and download the module from the Debugging Prestashop Templates page.

    Another development module to be released soon is an implementation of a code profiler for use in optimising Prestashop custom builds as well as a new release from our Plugins for Prestashop project. The latter has us fairly excited as it has opened up some really original ways of building stores without the need to resort to major code modifications and overrides.

  • Vanilla 2 and Prestashop

    I’ve long loved the original Vanilla forum by Mark O’Sullivan, but I’ve got to say that the new Garden and Vanilla 2 release has bowled me over. Although still in BETA I was so excited about using it in my latest project that I sat down and wrote a module for Prestashop to allow you to provide a slick single sign-on to both the store and the forum — utilising the SSO plugin that comes with Vanilla 2.

  • Revisiting the PayPal Beta Module

    Well I discovered that I had two motivations for revisiting PayPal payments in Prestashop this week. One is a new site that I’m working on for a client (more news on that later) and the other is that I discovered I had some free time in between the festivities. Well, not really free time but I managed to squeeze in a few hours at the keyboard anyway.

  • AddStuff is almost 1 Year old!!

  • Yet another Google Base update 0.6.3

    Get noticed in Google Product Search

    It’s been a busy week here but I’ve still found time for the Google Base module which has jumped another few revisions to 0.6.3.

    As usual I strongly recommend you test this before use in a production environment

    Changes

    Version 0.6.3

    • File IO modified again to reduce risk of timeouts
    • Added g:weight attribute when weight is non-zero for product
    • Added g:product_type attribute based on product categories
    • Changed description input to textarea
    • Added config entry for output filename on server
    • Added advanced settings to allow a feed to be generated for another site
    • Added compatibility with 1.2beta (provisional)
    • Improved error checking for permissions issues

  • General news update

    I’ve been rather busy lately on other projects so updates on this site have sadly been few and far between. With the release of PrestaShop 1.2 coming up though there has been some work done, and yet more in progress to update the modules on this site to this new version. The Google Base module has been updated slightly, and there are many more fixes and feature updates to go. If you wish to test the pre-release versions then you can do so by joining in the discussion in the Google Base forum thread on the PrestaShop site.

    There will also be an update to the v2 Paypal Module and Addstuff modules in the coming weeks, and this site will be undergoing some maintenance so we can look to add some great new features in the future….

  • Random Advert Module for PrestaShop Updated (v1.1)

    Thanks to a user report (thank you Bach!) a bug was identified in our Adverts module that prevented it working in the left column. We’ve issued an update that should sort out the error.

    An updated version of the PrestaShop Random adverts and Callouts module is now available.
