Hi,
- Does this install like a vB 4.x product?
There is a 2 part install, an .xml for product installation and an automated script for configuring the shop.
- Is the shop running on this site what it is like, including my account / Cart Content / Checkout?
Yes.
- Can the code add users to a certain group when they have ordered & paid?
No, this hasn't been added to the code yet, but should be added in the next release.
- Can I test drive (the back end) somehow?
Yes, you can do a test buy on www.satviewers.com. All purchases there will not be processed.
- Is there any support / documentation for importing shop content and / or orders? I have a proprietary code with a few hundred shop items and a few thousand customers and orders?
Sorry there is no documentation for importing shop content and / or orders. Any support questions will be answered on the forum.
- Can I install this on an active vB site, hide the shop (from regular users) until it is configured and ready?
Yes you can install this on an active site.
To hide the shop button in the NavBar do this:
If you go to your Admincp 'Plugins & Products' -> Plugin Manager -> oscShop process_templates_complete.
Remove the below code at the end of that plugin, will remove the Shop Button.
PHP Code:
$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="osc_shop.php">Shop</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>';
