Rules Elibility to Front page on dolistore
Proposal : Only modules eligible to Front page on Dolistore must fullfill these criteria
- with a link to documentation - from a Dolibarr Preferred Partner - maximum ok 10 modules by partner - only the one compatible with last stable Dolibarr version - only one version per module (as functionnal feature module not based on named) - an exception can be done for free modules that are really interesting
=> Need to add 2 specific fields on module cards for editors to fill : documentation link => TODO (2) Nicolas: Must complete the wiki page about rule of dolistore with a new chapter
Dolistore
Regis has delivered the work to enhance the Dolistore platform. The 2 main enhancement are :
- A feature to send a message to the editor of the module to warm it when a module is disabled - A new field "support" is available and is mandatory when the price is > 0
We need to test and publish them in production => TODO (1) Laurent
Make proposal for specification on Dolibarr e-Commerce
=> GIFF to organize to have workshops and define the specification for this project => Goal is to have a specification about an e-commerce module in Dolibarr and to replace the Dolistore website (currently on Prestashop) => A consultation will be made to seek for developers to implement this module based on the specification
Note by LDR: Step by step contribution may be more efficient than GIFF. This is the next step: A step to go to walk toward the eCommerce into Dolibarr is to create a template of the existing DoliStore, into the Dolibarr CMS (header, menu, terms of service, contact, basket, one page for a product..., no need for dynamic page working, just static template with content as it is on Dolistore).
