ukclearance Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am in the process of moving my site over from PS 1.6 to TB but I do require a module be created for a feature that isn't implemented that i need. I am not a coder so will be getting a developer to create the module for me but I want to know what the plans are for future TB versions when it comes to modules? Will a module made for TB version 1 be compatible with future versions of TB? I don't want to end up in the situation like with Prestashop where you move to a new version of the software and old modules don't work especially if I have to pay someone to write modules for me.

lesley Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 You should be fine, we are not planning on breaking compatibility anytime in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukclearance Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 That is good to hear. It give me more confidence to move over completely to TB knowing that your not planning on dropping compatibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Compatibility is one of our main focuses. We are always looking at ways to add new features and improve the core without breaking modules and compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukclearance Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Compatibility can be a big issue with open source projects, Firefox decided to change their add on modules format in the latest version and it caused a lot of modules to become incompatible with no new version available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Right, it is. At some point we are going to have to break it, but not in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeta Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 @lesley for you near future is like a year? not before three years? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 At least for a year. We have not solidified our road map yet, but we are going to keep the 1.0.x compatible version active for at least 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathaneo Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi, What's the module? What are the main functions? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukclearance Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 The module is going to integrate with an API offered by the drop shipper i use, so that it can automatically keep track of stock levels and pass on customers details when a new order is made.

lesley Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 What drop shipper if I may ask? We are going to have an inventory source integration soon, id your drop shipper on their list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 @lesley What list? What kind of inventory integration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 From inventory source, its a company that facilitates drop shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.Roberts Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @lesley You're doing a native inventorysource module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I had a meeting with them last week, they said they would add thirty bees to their supported platforms. They have more of an integration than a module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.Roberts Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @lesley Ahhhh, that's a bit different. So it's not gonna be a native opensource module. (that could be forked for my purposes) An integration from their end would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Sadly not, but at least its an integration with a major data company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.Roberts Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @lesley That's cool too, i see they've added a lot more suppliers since i last checked (including Doba) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy.Roberts Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Inventoryshource.com is the company and they do an meta integration with other dropship suppliers. So you don't have to do a custom integration with each supplier to handle the quirks of their inventory feeds. Just use their integration and sign up with the dropshipper that they support and they handle the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Ok I found this: http://www.inventorysource.com/ Now how do I know which dropshippers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.Roberts Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @alwayspaws I think you have to create an account with them to see the dropshippers they support. But creating an account is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
