ExtJS + Oscommerce = ExtOSC???
Recently I started work on making a more user friendly and responsive version of oscommerce. My plan is to add bits of AJAX to the admin area, add sort of live help, and rethink how the admin area is structured. Added to that im thinking of breaking up the script into four, one for the main file, one for the javascript code, one to contain the actions and the last one to contain php code that would serve data to the javascript. It would somehow make my life easier in developing code that would make oscommerce even greater than it is right now.
The ultimate goal is to release some sort of a branch of oscommerce added with essential contributions much like oscmax or oscreloaded with some modifications to make the learning curve for using oscommerce a bit easier. One area that needs a lot of work is the product options area, the one that comes with oscommerce is very complicated and is very hard for novices to get their minds around it.
After 48 hours of work, i have sort of finished the configuration area. I think it is a much faster way of working in the configuration area. Hopefully i will have the time and the resources to convert the rest of the admin area to the look and the feel of the finished configuration area.
You can download the code at Google Code. You can download my first release there. I do however suggest not using it for anything in production since it might have MAJOR vulnerabilities.
