[Closed] FEEDBACK ON BETA of v1.5.5

includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_checkout_confirmation_default. php

No functional change, but file did change, "not tagged in header". (previously commented out content was simply removed.)

includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

Modified, but not identified as such...

,

Performing install. Site does not have SSL enabled/available,
Did not click on the "advanced tip" on the first page, but once continued, catalog (storefront) settings included pre-selected Enable SSL for Storefront. Would think that there be some form of internal check first to validate that SSL would be supported before offering the suggestion as default selected.

Also, it seems that the admin server domain being asked up front, if it is different for https: as compared to http: seems like might be better left for a follow on screen?

Somewhat surprised that there are so many "disjointed" fields to fill in their entirety: Domain and URL where URL contains the domain but is not auto updated when the domain is edited.

There is no "back" button, for example when at the database setup, can't return to the system setup section if something were "entered" wrong or needed to be modified. It would appear would have to restart the entire process.

So far during install have also noticed that there is nothing indicating what version this install is to provide... Wouldn't that be something worth having without revealing "too much"?

Database User tip: Is: "... For PCI reasons you should NEVER user 'root' here." could be either: "... For PCI reasons you should NEVER use 'root' here." or "... For PCI reasons you should NEVER use user 'root' here."

Database Host and Database User fields provide auto help if the field is blank and the cursor is placed in the block, but on initial loading the host is populated with localhost and therefore the autohelp is not provided until the field is emptied.

Database Password does not have an autotip (in red below the block) like the previous two, but it does appear when clicking on the field title as described at the top. (Perhaps intermittently applied, recommend review of why and what is to be presented the way(s) it is. Kinda' cool/nice to have the autotip without fear of leaving the page if a link is clicked and without the "popup" information being in the way of starting to type in information.

Database Character Set: Maybe lat9 already made this comment; however, the dropdown selection shows UTF-8, while the help information indicates to possibly use UTF8. Seems like "can't complete the installation" because can't choose what is suggested...

SQL Cache Method tip: Says: "...If your server is really slow, use 'none'. If your site is moderately busy, use 'database'. If your site is extremely high traffic, use 'file'." Also may be something from lat9, but it is not clear if slow is to mean infrequently visited or does not respond quickly.

Auto generated password, would think perhaps it might be possible to have it autogenerate again if "don't like the one provided".

Admin Directory provided, there is a bit of a conflict in description: Says: " We did not change your admin directory automatically as it already seems to have been changed from the default." Thing is, somebody (we?) changed it from the default and it wasn't me... When the files were uploaded an admin directory named admin existed... At this stage of the install, admin does not exist, but the newly created/renamed admin directory does...

Admin Directory tip: Haven't progressed to the next step, but should it indicate that renaming should at least wait until the install is complete?

Finally into the store:

Little surprised that so much of the initial setup (setup wizard) was removed from initial install, but it also somewhat makes sense for those that do the software side. They then let the store owner login and complete the initial information. Also, great that can navigate away from the home page to do other things, though if "needed" to verify home page information and the information was not available for the initial setup, then there does not appear to be a way to "set aside" the initial setup wizard to see how the home page is "coming along". Maybe set the information as a clickable link in the top of the screen (message) after initial display perhaps after initial display per login? (SESSION)

All as one here: related to Developer's Tool kit and hopefully different than what has previously been discussed. Tried to take some obscure actions to just see how things resolved. Overall like the additional options and how the data is highlighted for display.



developer's tool kit: Like the "context" option; however, seems like there could be a little more "clarity" on what it is/what it means, also would be nice if whatever value was entered previously was available again somewhere on screen, either in the results section or back in the box itself (preferred)



Developer's tool kit: search of information in an observer using the look-up classes or things in classes files does not provide results... Example, vanilla install, search in look-up classes or things in classes on: products_viewed_counter extends

No results, place the same search criteria in the Look-up in all files entry and the default observer is searched.



DTK: Not sure what's going on, but I expected different results: using the template search (wanted to see if template override files in the modules directory would be searched since not in the dropdown list for that selection). Entered the following search:

params' => 'class="productListing-hea


Two results returned: both line 69 of: includes/modules/product_listing.php
I expected that the sub-folder responsive_classic would be included...
Search using the "Look-up in all files" option produced the correct result of the same filename in two different folders...
Didn't try searching for information below any change/difference that would change the line number(s).
