Bootstrap responsive store design
http://getbootstrap.com/ is a front-end framework for developing responsive designs that work across all devices. While the mobile specific template currently in GOLD has the advantage of specifically targeting the device, The downside is that it's another set of templates that must be designed and tested with each release.
28 votesUPDATE: Gold R10 is available with a Bootstrap Responsive theme.
UPDATE: Using Bootstrap, the next release will have a Responsive theme.
We have spent considerable time investigating on how to add a responsive store design to AbleCommerce. We are considering how the feature can be integrated in such as way that will not make it difficult for existing customers to upgrade.

Notification of new information for developers/bugs
It would be great if you had a news feed or email subscription list or something with new information for developers, like the store event article in your wiki. It would also be nice to have some kind of notification for medium to serious bugs- it would save us a lot of digging around to find out what the problem is. I understand why you have the entire bug private so your developers would have freedom to comment on the bugs, but letting us know when a bug was confirmed would be a big help. You do list them when…
2 votesI have updated the help site. There are really only 2 pages that are important for udpates. I added some code so you can use a free service to receive notifications when there are changes.

Ability to turn off WYSIWYG
It would be a nice feature to be able to turn off/on the wysiwyg editor via a setting in the General page in store configuration. This way we wouldn't have to go and edit each file to replace <cb:HtmlEditor ID="##" runat="server" Width="100%">/cb:HtmlEditor with <textarea>
We use dreamweaver and visual studio to create our webpages and content descriptions, and when we paste it into the editor, even when we go into the HTML Source Editor, the code gets stripped. So we've resorted to replacing the <cb:HtmlEditor> with <textarea> to allow us to use our html code.
14 votesUPDATE: Gold R10 is available now. This is a feature setting from the Configure Store page.
UPDATE: In Gold R10, there will be a new store setting so you can choose whether the WYSIWYG editor is inline or shows an html field (like in version 7)
I can’t agree more. I’m talking with the developers about making this a setting preference. I see no reason why we can’t have it in the next version.

Paypal Bill Me Later
In a near future release of Ablecommerce, can Bill Me Later ( https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/billmelater-productoverview https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/promotional-financing ) be added as a Payment method. Not sure how it goes about, whether it is code that is needed in the PayPal library that needs updating, or just adding a banner to the basket/checkout pages ( https://financing.paypal.com/ppfinportal/ )?
1 voteThis is available in our latest release of AbleCommerce Gold R9, including the ability to display the Paypal banner ad.

Batch Edit Categories
It would be great for bigger catalogs to have a batch edit screen for categories. Similar to products, you can select a master category, and what fields you want to edit, and then have the ability to edit all the subcategories at the same time. This way theres the ability to bulk update visibility, custom urls, and most especially display pages.
It would be so much easier to have the ability at least to bulk update a category's child categories display pages.
8 votesGold R11 was released yesterday. This feature is now available.

Add a Pick-up In Store Option
We'd like to give our customers the option to pick their order up at the physical store. If the pick-up option is selected, shipping options on the checkout page would not be necessary and should be disabled. Shipping would not be charged on the order.
3 votesJust add a new shipping method named ‘Pick up in store’ and set the value to $0. This will accomplish what you need.

Change code which displays missing image in multiple places
I think we have had to tweak this on every Gold site we have done. The code that shows a missing image on basket, checkout pages, minibasket, etc always has to be tweaked because of products not having icons. It probably works OK with new sites where merchant is adding the images from the admin, but it doesn't work well for sites coming from Able 7 or merchants that have no icons. We have to patch it in a way such as this in the shipmethod page
<asp:Image ID="Icon" runat="server" AlternateText='<%# Eval("Product.Name") %>' ImageUrl='<%# AbleCommerce.Code.ProductHelper.GetIconUrl(Container.DataItem) %>' Visible='<%#!string.IsNullOrEmpty((string)Eval("Product.ImageUrl")) %>' EnableViewState="false" />…1 voteI submitted this as a bug to be fixed in R9.

Add "Select All" option when associating products with templates
When assigning templates (custom fields) to all products, it is a pain to have to select one at a time by clicking through on each of the green circles (with a plus sign). There needs to be a "Select All" option in this section. Thanks for listening!
1 voteThis feature was added a couple releases ago. All of the pages that had product assignments were upgraded to allow for multiple assignment or removal.

Monthly sales shows a chart, need numbers please
The Monthly Sales is just a chart, I would like to see numbers. If you want to include them with the chart that's fine but the numbers are more important to me than a graphic/chart. When I am looking at this month's sales it's hard to see where I am as a total in this view. I think 707's way may have been better for getting stats rather than this dashboard element you moved in to replace the report of the same.
1 voteThis is now available in Gold R8

Sales day by Province
You have ta tax report that allows a break down by Province, we need the ability to get sales totals by province due to "Nexus" laws.
1 voteThe tax report was improved to show gross sale amounts and net sales. It already had the ability to filter by state/provice, so with the R8 release, this request should be completed.

Admin style.css differences
It would be good if you could keep your three admin themes in synch with each other except for things like color differences. I noticed this because I always use Minerva on my dev sites so I can quickly distinguish it from the live site. I am creating new admin pages and I had to set the theme on my dev site to default because of changes I had to make not related to colors and there were too many style sheet differences.
1 voteI opened a bug report for this one. I think there was some miscommunication a couple months ago when I brought it up to the developers. I’ve asked someone to reveiw the main admin theme and make sure that any new style elements are also incorporated into the other 2 themes.

Englarge the sku column in options and variants
The column for sku's under manage variants is not wide enough to show full upc numbers on both a pc and a mac.... also just on a mac the right hand image column is somewhat hidden.
https://www.wyomingflyfishing.com/Admin/Products/Variants/Variants.aspx?ProductId=11358
1 voteWe’ve enhanced the variants page so you can select which fields to edit. There was too much information to show all fields at the same time.

Purchasing Reminders for Expired Products
Many products have expiration dates. It would be nice to send out email reminders when the product is approaching expiry. Perhaps this could be merged into the subscription module.
1 voteIn Gold R7, we added a huge recurring orders / autoship feature. When you use subscriptions, then an expiration email can be sent out as many times as you like before the actual expiration. There are actually several email options added with the new feature. To maintain compatibility, the original subscription feature remained unchanged. You have to enable the Recurring Orders feature to see the new template options.

Add CANCEL option to order page
Add ability to CANCEL an order in Admin from the order page. Able 7.0.7 had a drop down with actions that could be performed on the order. Many of the those options are now buttons but CANCEL is not available on the order admin page.
1 voteIn Gold, we moved some of the more common actions to the buttons. However, you can still Cancel an order in Gold. There is a link “Change Status” which will give you that option.
