dulux Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 www.prestatools.comIt seems Jovil closed his best module list website, if anyone want to ask Jovil to make a new module list, please answer this message :-)Thanks Jovil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patric Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Jolvil closed this site because despite having often asked for helped he managed it alone. The free contributions should appear on PrestaStore soon. But as we already said, we will need (like Jolvil needed) the help of the community to manage these contributions.More details here :http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/32721/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulux Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Yes I know, jovil was "alone" and about free modules prestastore project, but I asked if anyone want Jovil continue with prestatools.com becouse I supposed a lot of people want to know more about free modules in 2 or mores sites.I think people can discover new free modules at Prestastore or looking for another websites like was Prestatools.com...This message is for only to encourage Jovil continue, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Dream Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The reason why I joined Prestashop was because of Jolvil great Prestatools.com free modules list. I think he should come back and clarify the help he needs from the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestafreak™ Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Yes, Jolvil site was very useful for us. We don't have to browse all over forum to find useful free modules. I hope Jolvil will reopen the site. Thanks Jolvil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulux Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 I hope Jovil see that a lot of people used that module list website and Jovil come back :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trove Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Is there no one willing to step into the space he left behind? Without that site, Prestashop just became a whole lot less interesting, Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhnstcks Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Its typical of a community, when someone asks for help on a project that helps everyone, and when no-one comes forward to offer help, the project gets put on hold or closed, and after it is closed people start asking about it reopening and offering help, but usually it too late.I also have a site for free modules that i try and keep updated, but as I only know one language, i am unable to add any of the foreign modules that are around. I also run 3 webstores, have a part-time job and a family so it tends to be the last thing on my mind, and only gets updated when i have a spare 10 minutes, which is a shame as its getting 400 visitors a day now. I wish I had more time to update it and scour the net for modules to add to it, but I just don't. I have asked around for people to help, maybe with translations or modules in other languages but again no-one.I don't blame Jovil for closing Prestatools, its not an easy task to do by yourself, in your spare time, and I have a feeling my site will be going in the same direction, not because of the free modules section in Prestastore, but because I just don't have the time.

TropischBruin Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I offered him to help and get the English part up an running but as I only speak English and Dutch I could not get the list translated from French.Second: it is hard to keep up with all the modules and for which version they can be used.I vote for a list like PrestaStore but the BIG problem will be who will keep the free modules up-to-date and how will the PrestaStore keep track of updates etc.?

dulux Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Nice page, jhnstcks, and thanks for your contribution to the comunity, I think is very dificult to have a free spare time to update a page like it, :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolvil Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I offered him to help and get the English part up an running but as I only speak English and Dutch I could not get the list translated from French.

I must stop Prestatools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but if you do not want to manage your list anymore then consider given the last version to him so he can server the community and we can still benefit of you hard work.This is the spirit of Open Source :cheese: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spott Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 This is Your decision. You are owner of PrestaTools domain and You can do what You like. I am maintaining some portals - I wasn't time to take new one - PrestaTools English.What is to me surprise - that You just closed the domain. When I am moving to Magento or in other way stopping using PrestaShop - I am not closing my PrestaPortal website - I am giving away or I think I am selling it for some money for next one. So that users can still use these features, what they like.So my recommendation - sell PrestaTools domain and its content for next user, who wants to go forward with this. You can get some money for Your great work. This list was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulux Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think Jovil made a good work, but why lose that nice work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I can understand Jovil's decision as I have been in a similar situation myself in the past and it can be very frustrating and de-motivating.I do, however, think that the closing of his site is a major set back in terms of image/exposure for this fantastic shopping cart. I really don't understand why there seems to be such a lack of support from the prestashop community when someone asks for help on a project.Granted, we are not all web developers/designers but we can all contribute something, however big or small, when called upon by someone who requests our time on something quite simple. We all really need to get behind the spirit of open source if we all want prestashop to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
