wiki work

As some might have noticed I started reorganizing the plugin repository. Since plugins are one of my main focus for current and future development it seemed like a good idea to make this section more useful.

Also, even though most plugin pages do look a bit empty right now, I will try to make en effort to improve those over time. I think it just needs some time to getting used to a system where code changed do not only require source code documentation (for the generated API docs), but also some time to document things in the wiki. However, it would be great if anyone could give me a helping hand…

checkout code

On a different tak I have decided to spend some more time improving checkout related classes and code. Since most checkout classes are wrapper around existing zen-cart classes and data this will be a longer process and I expect this to take at least a few minor releases.

search

Also, there is already some new code to wrap the search logic in a way that is compatible with the result list code (the new improved version, that is ;)). Again, not quite there yet, but already looking good. Another good example where unit testing is a great tool to stay sane!

Once this is in place it should be much easier to customize the search and perhaps improve the results a bit.

new plugins

There are going to be a few new plugins for the next release. The list is not final, but so we’ll have:

• firephp
  A plugin that implements logging using FirePHP.
• Who’s online
  I decided to extract this code from core as I haven’t seen too many sites using it
• phpBB3
  This is not finished yet, but it looks like it will be ready for the next version!

tasklist

I’ve added a few things to my tasklist for 1.0.0. Some is just fun stuff (like widgets), other things (for example the product list default sort) would be really good to have.
