Enhancement Request - Shipping, Memo Area, Packaging

Hi David

Some things for future consideration perhaps...

1.  A memo/note area where one can jot down things, possibly under the 'Tools' option?  For myself I'd find it useful particularly in relation to dimensions of packaging and their weight.  I can leave a note for myself to follow-up on something as well or, if there's more than one person with admin access, for them as well.

2.  The main packaging I use are tube cartons (different sizes and weights), packing tapes, envelopes, A4 paper and address labels.  It would be good if this stock could be recorded on the system and that it could be 'applied' to a product so that when a product is sold, this is reflected against the packaging stock and it's reduced accordingly. 

Taking it further, as one of the products I sell are posters, these could be recorded as a Purchase item (showing what I paid to my supplier for them) then they are entered as a Sales item (a product) and when one is sold it will not just show the quantity still available for someone to buy (which I know it does) but it will reduce the Purchased stock as well.  I'm only a small fry but for people with larger businesses this might be very useful.

3. I know you're working on some changes to shipping... 
a) When I delete a shipping rate or zone the system will take me back to page 1 even though I might have deleted something on page 5
b) Could there be an easier way to delete shipping rates please as I had to delete 9 pages of rates for individual countries having made a boo boo on weights - twice! LOL

Many thanks David smile

Re: Enhancement Request - Shipping, Memo Area, Packaging

You're welcome David smile  This may have already been mentioned, but facebook and twitter links would be very useful so that a product can be shared/posted directly from its own page.

Thanks again.

Maian Cart already supports Twitter and Facebook. And many other bookmark options via the AddThis widget.

Re: Enhancement Request - Shipping, Memo Area, Packaging

Thanks David, I will check that out as it would be good to have something on each product page.

Re: Enhancement Request - Shipping, Memo Area, Packaging

I've inserted the AddThis code to the product page in the full description field but the icons for twitter etc are all cascading down instead of being in a straight line.

Here's the code and a screenshot...not sure why it isn't functioning correctly.  I do know that if bbcode is used on the same product page as .html that the .html stops working so I'm not using bbcode:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4eb104cb5274aa7b"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

Re: Enhancement Request - Shipping, Memo Area, Packaging

You won`t want it in the description area at all as you`ll have to do this for all products. Add it in the settings and will automatically appear on all product pages. See the docs.
