Katmatcreations Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 About a year ago i offered to build a multipurpose PayPal module that would intergrate all versions of PayPal into a single module, all i wanted in return was to partner with Prestashop which at the time they seemed interested in doing and i even received a few emails about from the Presta team.On top of that at the time i was being flown by PayPal to innovate 09 in San Francisco which was where PayPal was launching its new API platform PayPalX. In conjunction i was more than happy (as a Prestashop partner) to represent Prestashop at innovate 09, i expressed that at the time in the email contact i had with the team. however after the initial emails i had no further contact from them. Today in the news it seems Prestashop has missed the boat with Magento now using the PayPalX APIs! The PayPal BlogI used to be a fan of Prestashop but it seems they dont like engaging the developer community very well, its a shame because it did have something going for it at one stage but even looking at the new version there is so many things that could be done better to improve the customer experience. It seems most of the releases are bug fixes rather than functional design changes to improve the user experience.One of the sites i built i actually rebuilt the customer interface to build everything all into one page using JQuery modals. Im in no way the first developer to abandon the prestashop forums, indeed ive seen many that came up with some great modules loose interest because they just dont engage and encourage the developer community in the right ways.Im not writing this to pick a fight because quite frankly ive got better things to do with several worthwhile projects under way, but rather to bring perspective to the fact that unless they change direction i dont think they will have the developer support its going to need to last and become what it can become.

Burhan BVK Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 For Prestashop to become a truly open source shopping cart, it should open up for community contributions. Presta team should move from developing to managing, and let the developer community suggest and implement features into Prestashop.I was planning to start a topic on this but I soon won't have the time follow up on it. There were also a few attempts at redesigning Prestashop, but I have not seen more news of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyrosT Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 and let the developer community suggest and implement features into Prestashop. That would be GREAT!!!And if you still want to start that topic, you have the first vote and support from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taoreflex Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 They were probably just annoyed that you were flying and they were expected to go by boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 PrestaShop has now released PayPal v2.0, which combines all the PayPal methods into one module. It has standard PayPal, PayPal API and PayPal Express. It can be downloaded from the Downloads link at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taoreflex Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 PrestaShop has now released PayPal v2.0... It can be downloaded from the Downloads link at the top of the page. According to the download link its for Prestashop v 1.2. Will it be available for newer versions of Prestashop or does Paypal v2.0 live in a time warp?

rocky Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It works in the latest version of PrestaShop. Those modules are designed for v1.2 and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taoreflex Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Is there any way to pass on to those responsible that they've got the wrong text in there.Or maybe they could just put something like "This works with version [ask Rocky]" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamel Boukhateb Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think you guys are speaking of :"These modules need Prestashop v1.2 to be installed. "Just under the free modules listIt means you need at least Prestashop v1.2 to make those modules work.so Rocky is right, it's 1.2 and above.

taoreflex Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm impressed. It says you're a beginner yet you can change the prestashop site. Did you hack in or was it an inside job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taoreflex Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 So that leaves two possibilities - bribery or an inside job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
