We have started the bitcommerce project. This will be a large project. Almost as large as bitweaver itself. We have taken the Zencart application version 1.2.5d and are forking to a closely integrated application.

There is now a demo at the sandbox
user: admin
password: qwer
Check out the bitcommerce admin too

There is now a bitcommerce blog and forum for discussion about bitcommerce.

The planned approach will be just like the TikiWiki -> ReleaseZero -> ReleaseOne approach for bitweaver.

Current Status

• The installer is currently working. Currenly we are routing out bugs - particularly with MySQL specific queries

Phase 1

Port code to ADODB and get SQL running on multiple platforms. Try to get everything working "as-is" with a pristing Zencart 1.2.5d schema.

Proposed Architectural shifts

• Replace all $_GET and $_POST and $_REQUEST - seems to be some issues with this en masse do to very poor HTML form naming conventions
• Refactor all of includes/modules/pages/ and the sister files in includes/templates/templates_default/templates into sibling php and smarty .tpl files.

Phase 2

Condense all the ghastly functions running around in logic classes and libraries.
