weekly update

Tags: , , , , , , ,
Filed under: ZenMagick — DerManoMann @ 1:12 am

Things done

  • Fill a few more gaps in the generic MVC code
  • Fix quite a few regressions on trunk code (Thanks, Nathan!)
  • Add fulltext support to the product search (Again, thanks Nathan!)
  • Add a few more options to the pageStats plugin (as suggested by Nathan)
  • Added a new class ZMPhpSourceAnalyzer that I’ll fill with the actual logic to create core.php
  • Added upgrade option to the new Plugin Manager

Things NOT done

  • Work on site relaunch – I am still looking for some marketing person / writer that could create some meaningful content for the main site
  • Pretty much everything else listed on the 0.9.10 roadmap :<

I have to admit that I immensely enjoyed this week as it was the first time I actually received proper patches to fix/improve ZenMagick. It’s been great and I do hope it’s not over yet :)

This, IMHO, is the proof that my claim that ZenMagick is a project that people can influence is true! Changes I didn’t plan include:

  • MySQL fulltext support for the product search
  • Performance improvements to ZMCategories (for large databases)
  • Performance improvements to the product search (without fulltext)

BTW: The new code to improve core.php generation is actually not really just for that. It works so far, but it is not complete. I found out about that trying to compress the source for Swift Mailer. Swift Mailer is a library to send emails. Zen Cart announced this for their 2.0 release, so I figured it might be good as email API for the generic code.

If there are good libraries around, please let me know – this isn’t decided yet.
