  1. In the backend under Localisations>Translations, I can select the "Core (no theme)" and a theme. 

    If I select "Core", will translation apply to all themes unless there's a specific theme translation that overrides? 

    I've been selecting "Theme" but would want my translations to survive even if I change the theme. 

    Thanks

  2. Nice! I like the module. I think it's helpful. I currently I track such things in a spreadsheet. 

    One suggestion: It would be great if it could work with combinations. All our products are combinations. Maybe other users have lots of combinations, too.

    The idea of a list of all products displaying profit margin information is great. Maybe the list could also reflect how special prices impact the margin.

    One thought: Mass update of products price is also offered by the "forum member tool" Prestools and of course also by your Datakick module, so I personally see less value for that at the moment unless lots of supporters don't have any of those modules.

  3. Hi,

    Is there a way to turn off order confirmation emails for a certain type of payment method?

    Background: We use Baselinker to import orders from Amazon. I'm guessing because Baselinker is based in Poland, all order confirmation emails are being sent in Polish, even if it's Amazon.de or Amazon.es. Seeing these are Amazon orders, we don't need to send any order confirmation emails in the first place.

    If not by payment method, maybe by email address? Or by method of order creation (eg here via import)?

    Thanks

    Oh yeah, let's sum this up - I WILL NOT RENT SOFTWARE - NOT NOW - NOT EVER!!! Adobe, Microsoft, and others that started that crap are what drove me to Open Source... now it's procreating like a disease throughout the "open source" community (probably thanks in no small part to companies drove "projects" like CRELoaded and Prestashop). I think this situation is WAY worse than what Adobe and MS did - because people who WANT to see everyone benefit are being USED! You help fix bugs and create top shelf software (mostly) only to have someone else profit off of YOUR work and efforts.
    EVERY single piece of software that has gone to the "rent/subscribe" model ends up costing 10x (OR MORE) than what it would cost if you just buy it up front - death by a thousands cuts, and because each cut isn't all that painful, you don't notice it so much... at least not until you bleed out!

    Some comments:

    • Are we renting tb itself or the non-essential premium modules?
    • Would you be willing to pay a large up-front sum (say a lifelong membership) instead of renting?
    • Have you considered that the buying vs renting depends on the nature of the software? Some types of software need to be maintained/kept current. Other types not. Also, there are opportunity costs involved: Would I rather spend 1000 now or 20 every month? This depends in part on what I can do with the money I have now cash in pocket by going the rental route instead of the buying route?
    • You're not just renting (after a certain membership level). You're also buying monthly support.
    • About one's own work and efforts being used (also) for someone else's profits ... well, that's a different thing. I don't know how I'd feel about this move IF I could and had actually contributed like datakick does. But I can't and I don't. Philosophically, I'm fine with subscription models if you get something back. I'm all for open source but I'm also realistic enough to see that not every open source model is going to survive unless it's driven by at least one person's passion. I don't think anyone here is maintaining their shop because it's a passion independent of economics.
