Version 2.0 of PHP Mall is already available!

You may find below information about the main new features ...

Improved front site layout The front site layout has been improved, it includes already a latest products section in the middle as well as improved SEO urls (for the categories, products and news). The generated thumbnails have been optimized for better performance and to preserver the images ratio. With the current version, it's already possible for the vendors to log in to their admin space using the log in form on the front site. This fixes the confusion in v1.2 in which the vendors have to use a separate log in form), so in the current version there is one log in form and the type of user (customer or vendor) is automatically recognized when entering the username and password.

Functionality to charge commissions for mode #1 The administrator has already possibility to define sales commissions and fee per sale - he can charge after a percentage from the sales of the vendor.

Stock management This feature can be turned on or off from the configuration file. When turned on, the vendors have to fill the number of available items for the products. Every time a product is purchased, this number will be decreased and when it becomes 0, an "out of stock" message will be displayed and it won't be possible to order the product anymore.

Improved vendors admin panel For better security, the vendors admin panel has been separated from the main admin panel (they were common in version 1.2). It's now better organized and improved and is using the front site template.

New store templates New store templates have been added. They are wider and using div / css layout.

Taxes Using this new feature, the vendors can define taxes for their products. The taxes can be defined separately for each region and product category.

Clone store templates A new feature allows the administrator to add new store templates, by simply using the design of an existing store. This allows to add fast more templates, which can be made available for the other vendors / stores.

New payment options Two new payment options have been added for the vendors - alertpay and amazon payments. The vendors can activate them from their admin space and use them to accept payments from their customers.

Newsletter The new newsletter functionality allows the administrator to send newsletter to the registered vendors or customers.

Multi user admin The main administrator can now add additional users (administrator) for the admin panel and assign them different permissions for the pages of the admin panel.

Add vendor New functionality allowing to add vendors directly from the admin panel has been added.

Stores locator The new stores locator page allows to search stores (from these registered on the website) within selected distance. The page can be activated or deactivated from the admin panel.
