What's Coming For Cs-Cart 4.1?

General Forums General Questions
#1

Simbirsk announced in October that CS-Cart 4.1.1 will exclude some addons. The road map states that some addons are being developed. But it does not seem clear what's coming in CS-Cart 4.1

Could you please elaborate a little on this?

Also: is 4.1 coming anytime soon, or is it many months away?

#2

They made it sound like it would be the end of the year, but I haven't seen anything else yet either.

#3

CS-Cart 4.1 release is coming within January 2014. Most probably its second half.

Once again release dates being pushed out. Worth waiting for if it actually fixes all the bugs. But if released with new add-on's and more bugs many will walk.

Here's what I use for multi-language images (V3 probably needs some adjustment for V4). Usage in template is like:





You might have to adjust common_templates/image.tpl (or in V4 common/image.tpl) to get it to work with all images.



Basically it assumes the base image name exists and if it exists with a '_' followed by the current CART_LANGUAGE (language selected by the client). If not found then the original path is returned. I.e. {“images/product/detailed/abc.jpg”|lang_image} would resolve to (if CART_LANGUAGE == 'fr' and the image file exists. “images/product/detailed/abc_fr.jpg”. If it doesn't exist, then “images/product/detailed/abc.jpg” would be returned.



It ain't that complicated…



// Add support for multi-lingual imagery
// Assumes (mabye incorrectly that $file will always be a path relative to $config.skin_dir
function lang_image($file) {
$http_path = Registry::get('config.http_path').'/';
$f = $file;
if( preg_match(';^'.$http_path.';', $file) )
$f = preg_replace(';^'.$http_path.';', '', $file);
$skin_path = strpos($f, '/') === 0 ? "./" : '';
$d = dirname($f);
if( $d == '.' || $d == './' )
$d = '';
$d = ltrim($d, '/').'/';
$basename = basename($f);
$fx = explode('.', $basename);
$suffix = ".".array_pop($fx);
$basename = implode('.', $fx);
$lang_file = ($d ? $d : "$d/").$basename."_".CART_LANGUAGE.$suffix;
if( file_exists($skin_path.$lang_file) ) {
return $http_path.$lang_file;
}
return $file;
}
