osCmax 2.0.35 (Unofficial)

  • 26 June 2011, 10:27

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.

[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.x, which is still very volatile in terms of development.

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

osCMax Information

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

osCMax 2.0.25 is the previous 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.

As an 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, at version 2.5.3 at time of writing. Clients are already realising the benefits from the 2.5 series release and its' rich feature set makes for a pretty complete webstore application. Image handling is further enhanced along with substantial additions/features to both front-end (store) and back-end (Admin.).

For people who wish to stay with the more stable release (and traditional osCommerce 2.2 look), an unofficial osCmax 2.0.35 can made available.
