osCmax 2.0.35 (Unofficial)

This is the final release of the 2.0.x line of osCmax e-commerce, prior to the introduction of osCmax 2.5

Although available directly from http://oscmax.com, via an SVN client, it is made available here without the .svn files, until it is officially released.

Download osCmax 2.0.35

[if you use this please show your appreciation at the osCmax forum.]

Advantages over osCmax 2.0.25: bug fixes and a few of the features enhanced.

Advantages over osCmax 2.5: easier migration from osCommerce and easier to integrate osCommerce contributions.

Disadvantages: as an 'end of line' package the included feature set is now fixed and is in a maintenance/bug fix state. It is however built on a stable base, unlike the current osCmax 2.5, which is still in a Release Candidate cycle.

[Personal views/experience are expressed here and do not form the 'official' osCmax standpoint.]

osCmax 2.0.x Restricted Articles

Create Articles that only certain users/customers can view. Might be useful for Distributors and Wholesale clients, for example.

osCmax 2.0.x Find Unused Images

Ported from osCommerce, with 'Max specific instructions.
This unofficial contribution will search for orphaned images. For those unfortunate enough not to have put their images in subdirectories, it will likely be too confusing/long-winded. I was asked to do the port by a 'Max forum member and it didn't take too long, so it's presented here for anyone who cares to give it a go.
Non-osCmax-specific support will be limited, so you're better off looking to the original osC forums for this contribution version - "Remove Unused Images".

osCmax 2.0.x Wholesale Contact Form

Ported from osCommerce, with 'Max specific instructions.
I was asked to do the port by a 'Max forum member and it didn't take too long, so it's presented here for anyone who cares to give it a go.
Non-osCmax-specific support will be limited, so you're better off looking to the original osC forums for this contribution version. Basically, it's a clone of the Contact Us page, with customisable fields via editing of the php files - I added a few notes to assist with this, in the readme file.

This contribution will likely have a limited lifespan due to the upcoming release of 'Max 2.5.

osCMax Information

The highly uprated version of osCommerce 2.2
"osCommerce with teeth"

osCMax 2.0.25 is the current stable public release of the package.

It contains masses of bug fixes over previous releases, which pushes it well beyond the
standard installation of osCommerce. In addition, there have been a few feature enhancements, not least of which, to image handling capabilities.

With this release, the software has support for PHP 5.3, in addition to the more common PHP 5.2. This will provide compatibility with this programming language for
quite some time to come.

osCMax 2.0.25 Demo

As an official developer, osCMax Team Member and frequent forum 'helper', ejSolutions (aka Ridexbuilder) is able to provide a quality service for the installation and support of osCMax.

Though web design is not a core competence, ejSolutions can provide customised templates to give your site a unique look.

The main target of work, is in the efficient smooth running of the e-commerce aspects of your website - products, payments, orders, shipping/postage and other
business related matters.

My clients benefit from custom coding, often released to the osCMax community where appropriate.

osCmax 2.5 - the new era.

Substantial upgrades and alterations have been done, with this version currently in RC2 stage. Personally, I don't see this as being stable enough for production use but I'm in a minority as far as the Development Team is concerned. Also, some of my clients are already realising the benefits from this release.

For people who wish to stay with the more stable release, an unofficial osCmax 2.0.35 can made available.
