osCommerce New CSS Template Structure

Long over due but and certainly welcomed is the osCommerce version 3 alpha 4 release. With this release we were able to get a peek inside the new methods being attributed to a more compliant design structure as the default layout is nearly all CSS.

This version of osCommerce will likely bring down the price in stock templates across the board as a template support and methods are greatly enhanced and much easier to work with as designers will discover.

I brief look at some of the features;
* New object-oriented framework
* New installation routine
* register_globals and magic_quotes_gpc compatibility
* New template structure implementation
* Search-engine optimizations
* Service modules
* Checkout procedure cleanup
* New language definitions implementation
* Updated payment modules with post-transaction actions
* Catalog front-end, administration tool, and installation routine combined
* XHTML/CSS based default template layout for the catalog side
* Multiple product images implementation
* New action modules
* Administration Tool access levels
* Administrator Log
* Administration Tool batch action capabilities
* HTML Editor for product descriptions
* Full zone entries for most countries
* Language injection feature for similar languages
* GeoIP Modules for the Administration Tool Who’s Online section
* … and more! (application_top.php has never been so clean!)

Professional PHP Applications

Okay so play time is over and after many years of hacks, tweaks and hobby code, PHP has reached a level in application development that corporations are taking it real serious. Granted PHP isn’t quite as robust as ASP among others, PHP has managed to hold its own quite well and developers are beginning to take it a great deal more serious. Joomla, osCommerce, and several other application developers are delivering earth shaking quality applications based on lessons learned from all those years of discovery. The overall quality of php applications available on the internet is almost as pronounced as the overall quantity. PHP milestones are being set as application developers and serious businesses start to pursue this easy to learn and easy to implement code engine at exponential pace.

All I can say is “It’s about time”
