I stopped the eC development for a while. Its because i was preparing my new project. But it uses D6. I asked Gordon to hurry things up to let me start as soon as possible the Drupal 6 port of eC4. Here is a basic roadmap
Roadmap
- Implement the hook_schema on all hook_install
- Change all hook_menu data scheme
- Change all hook_help functions
- Split all form_alter into specific form_FORMID_alter
- Use Views on as many listing as possible
- Split the files using the new hook_menu include feature
- Do all other the minor conversions listed on http://drupal.org/node/114774
- Launch the code and be happy!
Module Convertion Strategy
All modules must be converted, but we need to focus on the core modules first. As soon the main Core modules are converted and working fine, contrib modules should be the target.
Prerequisites
- eC4 RC released for Drupal 5
- Views for Drupal 6 (at least a RC version)
Update
13 June 08 - Any progress made so far? You can put up the tasklist so that more people can contribute & take up those tasks. I'm willing to take up few tasks. TechRobo
15 June 08 - I started a separated project to hold the eC4 port. its called e-Commerce PLUS. Soon eC reaches the RC state that project will be merged to eC. But you can download the dev code and see the progress.
28 August 08 - That e-Commerce PLUS project does not seem to exist. Has it already reached RC status then and been merged back into eC ??
28th September 08 - The eCommerce module page says that '5.x-4.x-dev' was released on September 28th, but the Project page says "Drupal 6 has no release date fixed yet. The original plan is to release some time after Drupal 6 itself, but it can be released later.", Drupal 6 was released in February! Is there any chance of an update as to what is happening?
