Hi,

The kb has been updated with an article about database errors into one article with what the error is, what the correction is, and any references to read more about the error.

8) Database Error Corrections Article

This information has helped me with problems due to a server change or simply forgetting something so hope it will be valuable!

Thanks for your continued support!

Hi,

The documentation is up to date except for a few articles left so nothing to report this past week but I did have a restful labor day!

Thanks!

Hi,

The knowledgebase tips and tricks section is almost complete with updates to the milestone 3 update.

There are 5 articles left to change that are turned off at the moment.

Thanks!

Hi,

The docs for the Tips and Tricks section of the knowledgebase are just about complete for the ms3 version with the addition of a few more articles today. These all will be tested in the upcoming days as to accuracy to use for the milestone 3 release. Any that are not compatible will be turned off until they are updated.

A few new articles were added today to the Catalog Area/Boxes area:

and to the Catalog Area/ Design and Layout sections:

The new pdf download for the ms2.2 is available online:

This is a brushed up version of all the wiki docs so is complete. This was the first documentation available for the osCommerce store so this is close to my heart. A lot of information was gathered from the community on how to do and change code in the osCommerce store to give everyone a starting place to learn more about osCommerce.

We are very excited about the ms2.3 upcoming release! The code has changed and a much nicer look in the admin area plus better code throughout the catalog store and more features than ever before.

Thank you osCommerce community for hanging in there with us!

Hi All!

We now have a new tree menu in the knowledgebase!
KnowledgeBase

Please refresh your page when you get there if needed.

This new layout makes it so easy to see where you are while reading the articles and I want to thank Harald for the tremendous work he continues to do!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I hope everyone finds this more effective and as always we appreciate your feedback.

The knowledgebase is really moving along thanks in a great part to Scott typing his little fingers to the bone! He’s a blessing!

My house has been in a mess for a couple of months due to remodeling and once those doors were painted I was ready to get to work on the ms3 docs for the knowledgebase.

I think we have finished the installation and admin sections with new screenshots (as low as they could go at 600 width), updates to the articles that were already there for the ms3 version of osCommerce, and writing new articles.

The installation and admin sections are designed to show you a particular page section with a screenshot and an explanation of the links available on that page to make it easier for a person totally new to osCommerce to be able to install osCommerce and administer their store administration area. It does take a little studying of the articles but a “picture is worth a thousand words” as they say.

Some new ideas have recently come up to add a new “guide section” in the knowledgebase that will have articles based on how to setup the shop catalog so we look forward to the challenge of this section.

I hope the osCommerce community will visit the knowledgebase more often and give us feedback! We always appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Melinda
