• Ready for web services !

For more details and link to download the alpha package ; please check the full article here: HikaShop 3.0 Alpha - blog article

Thanks !

Hi,

For the moment, only the starter is available (for everyone).
But when the "alpha" will become "beta" ; we plan to give access to the essential/business packages through the "my subscriptions" system.

Hi,

We don't have such plans in the short term.

Hi,

It is gone from the new checkout and the new add to cart system. The only place left is the carousel system. But if you don't use it, then you won't see it.
Note that you might still have it here and there in the Alpha as we're still working on it and the work is not finished. For example, the product content tags plugin still adds the mootools library to the page even though it's not necessary anymore. It will be removed for the final release thought

Hi,

Yes, one month ago we started the implementation of some other features in our TODO list for HikaShop 3 and we are almost done to release a beta version.
That version will include somes features like "infinite scroll", new backend interfaces (configuration, email, users...) and much more.

I'm still working on the refactoring of the "mass action" ; I have almost rewrote all the system and the plugins in order to unlock features which should be available for third party extensions to perform an integration.
As you might understand, that work is pretty big, the mass action system is around 9000 lines of code.

Hi,

As the rewriting of the mass action system is taking much longer than expected due to the shear amount of things to handle and its complexity, we've decided to pause it for the time being so that we can finish the HikaShop 3 release.

So we're expecting to release the beta in the next few weeks, and yes, it will include all the edition of HikaShop, not just the Starter.
However, it won't include the new mass actions system which will probably be added to HikaShop 3.1
And yes, we're planning on being able to have concatenation operations like {category_id}/{product_id}-{product_alias} with the new system so that it will be much more flexible.

Hi,

Thanks everyone. We're also eager to finally release the 3.0

@kyratn : We don't have a Business version of the alpha available, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit more.

Please be patient.
