All Activity

Why I'm on X, to read several different opinions, and can adjust my own feed. Which is impossible to do in other "social networks". For some yes but for most no. I've seen people creating websites with AI, and no privacy rights, no details of who they are just the sales crap people push out. AI does not help if you don't know what to do. TB is also just a tool and it works, it is more dev friendly than most others. They are understaffed and remain so till they see the light.

We are not talking about the same things. AI is just a powerful tool. It can be used for the good or the bad. I would consider myself as using it for the "good". Think of it as electricity. How many shitty things wouldn't happen, if humans don't have electricity... But also how many good things wouldn't be there? You cannot judge revolutionary techniques simply as "good" or "bad". Btw: why are you even on X? Isn't that pretty much the definition of a shitty place? 🫣

Narrow? Why should I trust a software which spies on me and gives my 50% of lies (politely called hallucinations). That bubble is already bursting, you see that on the Twitter X shout outs of the known snake oil sellers.

OpenAI.. the company that is not ethical at all.. OK ^^ 😂 I banned them for all my usages.

@zen no, i won't switch to any other plattform. I know this setup and I think it's actually still pretty ok. You are right!! But my main developper is called codex not claude 😅

I have to admit to your are right about the "community" and even indivuals can be fed up with so less activity, that's why TB is just a fun project but no one take it seriously anymore. Are you gonna go to use another ecommerce CMS for your buisness wakabayashi, like syllius maybe or stick to TB and go further with the help of the very skilled developper called Claude 😁

I have been here from the beginning. I can't remember any serious collaboration by the community. It were always individuals, that were investing some time here and there. There was once the idea of developping a new theme together. I failed very quickly. 90% - 95% of the improvements came from the core team. That's just a fact. It was Dekker, Traumflug and Datakick. Then there was Lesley and Smile who were more on the business side of the project. The core team isn't anymore active. That's why the project is likely to be dead. Who will fix major security issues in the future? Who will update to newer php versions? Who will handle github? There are 50 open PR. Who can update smarty? Who could fix the core updater if it breaks? These are the major questions. And the only decent answer in recent years was Datakick.

Your way of seeing AI is very narrow. I envy people who can afford that.

Hello everybody, TB is not dead .. it just smells funny, sorry that I couldn't resist. 😄 “Jazz isn't dead. It just smells funny.” ― Frank Zappa but it's up to us to make something different.. I have not much hope from the TEAM.. but from the community maybe things can go further. I still use and work with TB often, but now it's complicated to promote it to anybody because the lack of presence from the official communication. I still make many modules for some users, it's really fun to make modern modules with super cool looks on something that looks "dated", front and back end. Performances on TB are still the best ^^ php 8 does the job, no need for fancy framework. Best Regards to all of you guys !

Not my cup of Tea (Coffee in my case) Automatic content is not liked by search engines. And no wonder. AI neither is a good idea, Only some people would like it. AI has also collect same bad fame under no developers. AI Fatigue, AI Slop. You go to YT and see comments and many voice their discontent.

I don't know, how ecommerce is working in your niche and in your country. But here it's damn competitive. Not moving forward, means losing relevance. Automatization, Automatization, Automatization. Clean Proceses. AI Intgerations. If you don't need this, you are the luckiest ecommerce business owner on earth 😵 But I am a realist. I have to go my own way. It's ok. 😅

What are you after? Don't touch a running system. Someone said once. Do you change every time into a new OS once it comes out? TB Could contact @zen and introduce a new template, just to do some cosmetic changes.

It seems like the PS Checkout module will not work correctly anymore, because the version for PS 1.6.1 relies on PHP 7 and if you use an updated version of ThirtyBees with PHP 8 there are incompatibilites with the Symfony framework. At least I couldn't add products to the cart anymore when testing and the debug mode showed a lot of error messages regarding this. So what actually is the current best Paypal Module for ThirtyBees?

Shopify makes its money with the modules. When you see the base price it seems not that expensive. But every module is another monthly expense.

Does anyone have experience of running hosted ecommerce or know what goes wrong? I have none; I don't think I'm the best person to do it.

I don't wanna spread bad moods or so. But imo the signals are pretty clear. There won't be any big developments of thirty bees soon. On social media they would chose a clickbait title: "It's over".

"Either you have good programmers or you have good salespeople" if anyone starts hosted Thirtybees as a rival to Shopify Weebly etc. and if that person mentions this host-yourself version of Thirtybees with one-click install that we use (like Wordpress.com mentioning Wordpress.org) then the code becomes better known, including being better known to shopkeepers willing to pay money who want to migrate from the hosted version and tweak their own code. I'm not sure if I have put this in the best way. I seem to have started writing like an AI search result! I mean that a lot of people nowadays choose hosted software by default. It's quick and easy, if template suits. This is very different to how things were when I started doing ecommerce. It saves having to be the responsible person if something goes wrong. It's $x a month which is not much if you make $1000x a month. If someone fancies making a living by promoting a hosted version of Thirtybees, and if they mention this free version that we all use, with one-click install on a lot of servers, then a few shopkeepers might start on that hosted version but move to the free host-yourself version and be willing to pay for software development.

I use "Email Templates Manager" module: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/email-marketing-automation/25939-email-templates-manager.html To build email templates compatible with module, use Emails SDK: https://github.com/PrestaShopCorp/email-templates-sdk Like any Prestashop module, this one has a lot of bugs and needs to be fixed first. The screenshots show a sample email and the email configuration in the module.

You can get close by editing the product route in SEO settings, but the exact p/88-21 pattern usually needs a custom route override or a small module to handle that format.

I hope I have something to show in the recent days.

In that case, screenshots wouldn't be helpful. We have them as standard and have only really integrated the logo well. By "adjustments," I meant technical ones, like placeholders or modified uses for standard themes (such as notifications about partial deliveries). We use a third-party theme for the shop and the relatively clean standard emails are quite suitable for it (thankfully).

Yes, by using it you don't have to change your csv format. But of course it skips the whole column and if you need some data from there it becomes a problem.

Ok. I got it. This "0. Ignore this Column" is exactly what I need. Somehow I have forgotten all this. An there is even way to save what do You need. So there is no need to "play" every time what column You need to ignore. I use excel to make CSV. This way I can combine names because they vary, depends on functionality. And if there is 10 000+ items there's no way to edit all these by hand. Excel itself can't handle some specific symbols like Greek letters. So there are some formulas in on cell with 60+ variables. Also in my language there are letters that is best to give with CSV. And due to language peculiarity I need comma in description. So field separator is in my case semi-colon and for value separator I need to use this sign - &. Finally it is more confident to use Notepad2 where I can set encoding and line ending. I even don't dream that this is handy, but at least so far this all works for me. Anyway Big Thank You, if this is enough

I'm giving an example with Excel: In this case id 2 and 3 will override the price with 0 and not simply skip the import and leave whatever price there was. Empty cell = ;; You are missing one more separator; you are starting with ID, which is empty in the example and you should have it as ;1;test;;; If your example with only 1 row you can set up your import template to ignore those columns: But of course, this does not work in my example above as you won't import any price for 1, 4 and 5.

I don't get it. What is empty column ? If there is no field separator (originally it is , ) then how will TB understand what do You need import at all ? Or I understand something wrongly ? For example this : ID;Active (0/1);Name *;Categories (x,y,z...);Price tax excluded or Price tax included 1;test;;; It is 5 values. Given are only two, but TB rewrites all. And if there is no value, then erases existing. Does column mean any of these 5 values ? So at the moment column 1 has value 1, column 2 has value test etc ?
