ViArt,
 
Since this is going to be released this month, I'm sure you already have all the new features in a list. How about putting together a shop feature update listing on here so we can see what to expect rather than wishful thinking? It's the middle of the month, and even if it's not released by the end, if I have a feature list that would help do some prep work.
 
Regards,
 
Dan (TOCDCO)

Hi Vito, thank'you for reply a re: of Dan.

Vito, you don't mention one page checkout?

Hello now we are using cscart but thinking about viart
we have a few questions
 
which version php we need have to on server
and if is working on nginx
and why we are not able to see our page in viart through iphone ?
 
Thanks Marian

Hello everyone,
  
We want to release it next week.
  
Most likely it will be released a little bit later.
  
Usually there is no difference what version of PHP you will use on your server.
  
It should works well on different mobile gadgets including iPhone, as we don't use any platform specific coding.
 
Thanks,
Vito

Vito:
 
Thank you for all of the information you provided. Very insightful.
 
As for the response:
  
Can you provide an idea of how long 'little bit' is supposed to mean. Can you tell us what the complication of this project is? I'm not sure that the 'multi-shpping' or 'mobile-version' are more important. Just trying to figure out this since it's been years since its expected release.
 
I like to say that this cart is a powerful product, and has worked for my clients over the years. My customers really are desiring the addition of OPC, and it's impact on abondoned carts. This is something very important to us, and I truly hope ViArt understands the demand for such feature.

Also, just putting it out there, Vera said on 4/5/2012:
  
Last release (4.0.8) was released 08/23/2011. Tomorrow marks 1 year point from such release. I stand correct in my statement that fewer updates/releases are coming out. I know there's much improvement in the product in 4.0, but I'm hoping we can get our community back to what/where it was. I miss the days of such an active community on board.
 
I don't say this to be negative; I say this to show how important an active community can be to a product. This product IS a fantastic solution. It just needs some fine-tuning which I know you ViArt can accomplish.
 
Thank you for allowing me to have a product to supply to my customers over the last 5 years. I truly hope for another great 5 years.

Hello Dan,
 
ViArt Shop is not an easy thing for programming as it has quite a lot of different functions and options which we need to bind together to make OPC works correctly.
 
Next release is first stage of OPC functionality where we will release a little bit updated shop logic so then we can build OPC.
 
I won't give you any promises before we will know it for sure but we would like to realease OPC in a month or so after next release.
 
Thanks,
Vito
 

Vito,
 
That's great news to hear. As long as your timeline isn't pushed out another 6 months to a year, I think we've got a better estimate. Saying little bit longer, just wasn't soothing enough to the mind.
 
I am very much so excited about the growth of the product. Seems its going through a good overhaul while not reducing the functionality but growing it.
 
Thanks for the updates.
 
Regards,
Dan (TOCDCO)

Marian, just wondering why you're leaving CS-Cart? We're actually contemplating the opposite, and would like to hear where it's not meeting your needs.

I keep hearing, by end of August and any day now. Please can you give us a specific release date. and will it include Real-time drop shipper support?

They still have 3 more days until the end of August.
 
Also, he stated above:
  
 

Hi NTM cscart is the best cart I ever had and ever seen but we are doing electronics repair service and that is why we are looking for another one
 
cscart is a pretty well and has everything what you would need for online shop
 
but does not have
reminder
help desk
cms
forum and etc.
 
its compatible with PHP 5.3
for running on nginx guys from cscart had to make some correction in our cscart soruce code
 
of course you can buy addons for everything
they did new version 3 and looks super but has same functionality as version 2 and addons from previous one are not working with new one
 
We are waiting for new viart and we will see then how about
 
 

A little question: So far you have been pretty good at working with SEO, but since it has been long time since last update the websites are now a bit oldfashioned, have you done any improvements of SEO in this coming new version? Like a hierarchy in the headlines or making all the important text in the webshop as titles?

It's the last day of August. is the release today or not?

 
Sure, we will post link to download new version later today.

Thanks Vito

I have two site's that use stock css templates and a site that is a custom design css. What do I have to worry about on the custom styled site when I upgrade to 4.1 version?
 
Thanks
Bob

I noticed in 4.1 that the Demo and Double themes added in 4.0.5(?) are no longer there. If we use one of these themes, will we have problems with the upgrade?
