Create override if no other solution is there. Never change core files. -> You got that right. There is no need for a second file. As you can make all changes in this one file. Are you talking about the same function or different function? You can add different function into the override. You can even add function which aren't in the original core file.

It's really hard to understand your question. Not sure if I got it right. You want to use AdminProductsController.php in the override folder and in a module? I dont know what happens when multiple "places" try to override it. Once I read, that ps was trying to combine this files into one. Not sure if this is still true. Maybe @Traumflug can answer it!? But in general I believe you are using too much overrides. In a module I try to avoid every override. I only use override very few times if I really need to change the core. What are you tryiing to achieve? If you want to change lists from a module, you can use some hooks like hookActionAdminProductsListingFieldsModifier.

Yeah that would be amazing. You seem to be the guy, who knows this module the best. Of course my view on the situation would be different if michael would still be on the team.

@vincentdenkspel Are you talking about "Advanced Search 4"? I am using this one for filtering. In general I get your point. I wonder how many people are using ES now? I believe we would need a lot of investments to make this project really succesfull. Not only the coding part, but also the documentation & support... I just don't see the guy, who will do that. Cause as far as I can see ES is not something any random developer can do. You really need a quality coder for that. And as I stated above, IMO its better, if the best coder focus on topics, which are important for the majority of users. Have you looked at services like doofinder or algolia? For example doofinder offers a free ps module and 30 days of free testing.

In my opinion ES was a too big project for this small core team. There is no doubt, ES offers great stuff. But as we can see, the set up is quite difficult. Michael is no more on the team and nobody has the time to look at it. I agree with @datakick that ES is mainly for big merchants. The inbuilt search works for smaller quite ok IMO. We still haven't a clean checkout in the core. Order Editing in the BO is a pain for many merchants. Adding custom content to a page is too hard for most merchants (shortcodes needed) Controll of emails (what is send and how does it look like) is very hard. In my opinion this points are much more important for now. Imagine how much time a coder needs to understand the ES module now. As far as I remember there is no support for facetted navigation at all. Is this correct @dynambee? @vincentdenkspel The function of searching products with feature X, Y, Z - what is the difference to a filter?

Well the {literal}{/literal} stuff should actually help. Have you checked what is the output on the browser? Does the html code have your js code? In general I am a bit confused, what this is. Is this a counter how many visits your shop has? IMHO this is very outdated... I used this as a kid in the early 2000 🙂

I am still on 1.0.8. So I can't tell. A possibility to find it out, could also be, to make a second clean installation update it to bleeding edge and check if it's working. In any case such an issue should be solved. Doesn't matter if it's bleeding edge related or something else. In the BO order creating process are some issues. But it's very important to understand, where they are exactly.

@Factor great. Yeah probably you need to save this changes before your update your theme. The changes would probably be lost...

Well when it's a change from zenCart to thirty bees there is no really simple way to make the redirects. I would just make the change and redirect the most important pages manually.

Something like this? https://www.spielezar.ch/marken/ravensburger This is a maunfacturer page. You can achieve it by changing the tpl files to your need.

I dont it understand completly. Will this be the exact same website? Then you just need to redirect from your subdomain to your main domain in htacces...

Right now I can not share this, cause my shortcode stuff is inbuilt in my blog module (which is a paid one). What do you wanna achieve exactly? Cause a manufacturer page (product listing) is quite different from a cms page (html text)...

I believe, you need to save the domain new under "URL & SEO". That should regenerate htaccess - as far as I know. Edit: lol there is even a button "generate htaccess".

I believe there is no easy solution for this. You could code a new FrontController. As this is kind of normal idea, it should be easier IMHO. Thats why I am a big fan of the shortcode idea. I am not sure, if there is a good shortcode module available (I use my own stuff).

I dont get the idea of this project to be honest. To use multistore without having multiple stores is asking for troubles. Why can't you just optimize your theme? Like having a super fresh and modern responsive theme?

I use the module of course, but I use the gamifaction not the coins part...

I dont know. It's long ago I did this and I don't use this coins stuff on my own shop. I guess the button click should be ok for now, as its also like this in the official module.

@30knees yes I agree. It's kind of unlikely. But "unlikely" means for a coder "it will happen". And as datakick pointed out, the coins arent used auto. The user needs to activate it...

Well the intention is clear. But the expiration is not the same. If I implement it (what I plan now), every customer will have ONE expire_date of his coins. If he doesn't order something before this date ALL his coins will be lost. But if he orders, ALL his left coins will still remain. Also I don't get your point, that you can't accumulate more coins than you spend. Imagine you order for 100000$ and receive a lot of coins. Next order you buy something for 15$. Maybe you can pay this completly with coins and still have some left. Or not?

That was also my intention. This makes much more sense to me and is also clear to the customer. I mean a message like: If you don't place an order in your next 7 days, you will lose 10 of your 95 coins is just silly, isn't it?

@30knees But how should this work? When should coins expire? If he doesn't visit the site again? If he doesn't make a new order? Should all coins expire or is a history needed?

What would you need, that you can use it the same way? I would be surprised, if core module is triggering this somehow by a hook or so.

Thats a very bad idea. It was never the intention of my module. I will think again about the integration. Now with conseqs module from datakick, it makes more sense to me, to have this expire feature. I will think about it.

Nice! To be honest. I haven't looked a lot at my own module in the last months. It's just running on my shop and some customer use it 🙂 But I will try to look at it again and to make it more popular. Feedback is highly appreciated. Also the way of using, cause merchants can learn from it.

Dont worry: you are still an awesome backer! The switch to the internal plattform hasn't been done.
