Hello Martin!

It is so cool that your still in the forums for so long! I remember the first time we spoke on #ezpublish (freenode.net irc)!

<i> > After tweaking ezpublish upside-down for 3 years now i would suggest a list of improvement by order of importance...according to me :</i>

I think this kind of feedback is fantastic because with eZ it can take time to become strong enough to really know / make time to point out all the issues from one's perspective.

<i> > Interface
>
> In admin children list view : I would replace the "remove selected" button by a html select menu that would apply those functions to the selected list of nodes : "move selected", "remove selected". This would allow to move multiple nodes to new location. For now its very tedious having to move every node individually.</i>

I have to agree on this one. After using gmail for a few years. There have been times when I noticed that this change would be most useful over the existing feature.

<i> > Transform "Repository" into an array in icon.ini . This would allow to have a per-siteaccess icon config with a fallback system.</i>

We have spoke on this a few times. It's more and more an issue which affects an increasingly larger number of people as time goes on and it's not addressed.

<i> > Shop
> In admin order list view : Being able to modify the item limit (15 by default). And the fact that the item_count in the title doesn't reflect the order total but only the orders in the page. So its always 15 even if you have 300 orders.</i>

Again, Agreed :)

Further worse that you may not order / reorder the list by the column headers, ID, Total, Time or Status. The user / shop admin really would prefer this flexibility.

<i> > Operators
>
> Modify the treemenu operator to allow showing of the whole subtree. Not only the one under current node. This is so frustrating having to use a nested "fetch list" to achieve this.</i>

I heard in 3.10 there is an updated admin menu tree but I can't say much more than point to the changelog.

The following documents say / mention ...

<i>http://ez.no/community/news/ez_publish_3_10_alpha1_released</i>
- "Improved tree menu"

<i>http://ez.no/community/news/community_newsletter_9_20th_july_2007</i>
- "an AJAX-based dynamic content structure tree menu (in the Administration Interface)"

<i>http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/changelogs/3.10/unstable/CHANGELOG-3.9.0-to-3.10.0alpha1</i>
- Unknown / N/A ..

Cheers!
Heath

Hi Martin,

I sure appreciate your feedback when it comes to eZ commerce. There really needs to be more of us speaking out. I ditto everything you and Heath have said. I just would like to point out that we had to create a new shop orders pagelayout that allows our administrators to select orders by date ranges. It is really quite nice. Here is a snapshot of it. It makes a world of difference to our Admins

Hi Heath & Clay !

Thanx for those informations. Its cool those issues are being adressed.

The orderlist view you have created is great. There is a pretty small work to do in the shop menu to improve shopping (admin+public) a lot.

Later.

Hi Martin,

It really is crazy that the Quantity is hard coded. We have to hack the kernel for this which is really a quite dumb thing to have to hack. EZ please fix this!!! It really is extremely important for commerce sites.

Yes this is difficult to understand. There must be a reason but its very annoying.

Heath: The tree menu operator and the content structure tree menu are two different things, the latter is the one used on the left side in the admin interface.

<i>@Martin</i>

I think it is a good idea to add these comments to / in the form of enhancements/bug reports to the issue system at, http://issues.ez.no/

Then publish the links to the issues you file here in this forum thread so other users who wish for these improvements can comment, vote and subscribe to these issues in a show of support.

Cheers,
Heath
