All, I've updated two community modules for OXID available at the GitHub OXIDprojects repo <https://github.com/6vCommerce> as well as the 6vCommerce repo<https://github.com/6vCommerce>. As of yesterday both of the following projects support easy installation on 4.6.x versions on OXID.
- 6vC-PayPal-Basic - 6vC-NA-Shop Below, please find some notes on these projects that should be of interest to developers *6vC-PayPal-Basic* - Although the name "PayPal" is used due to its popularity, this project actually implements a generic interface between OXID and merchant gateways. PayPal support is built into the code but support for other merchants should be possible by simply extending the existing classes. - The built-in PayPal support is for PayPal Express Checkout (through the NVP API). I did not "define" the checkout process, the module simply follows the process already laid out by PayPal Express in it's most compact form (least # of steps). For information on how PayPal Express works please refer to PayPal documentation. Until then, please note one important fact about PayPal Express: the PayPal portal does not charge customers (it only authorizes the payment) as customers are not charged until the order is complete. *6vC-NA-Shop* - A module for localization of an OXID shop for countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. For example, addresses are reformatted. - Module also includes an option to treat taxes based on North American standards (i.e. taxes are only incorporated into final checkout) - Module implements greater control over currency formatting, moving the responsibility entirely into the Model code, rather than dispersing it throughout the templates. And finally, a note for OXID devs: *PLEASE *consider incorporating the formatting of currency, as implemented by 6vC-NA-Shop, into core code or at least something similar. Scattering and hard-coding region-dependent formatting (currency sign position) through-out the templates is so wrong and makes for unnecessary maintenance of too many templates. I hope these project will prove useful to others and attract some community input.
