v1.17 is now available for download for Retail, Source and also Free users (new free version has been produced which is a copy of the latest build but with features disabled). For changes see: http://www.d2-storefront.com/D2-StoreFront-Version-History.htmPaul

Thanks Paul,
But I think adding all the features on your dll but just disabling them will be easier for crack heads to enable them don't you think?

Its always a possibility but using a cracked copy always has the drawback that you dont get any support, you dont get any updates (and theres some nice ones coming, the free editions arent updated the same) or fixes. And chances are, like with a lot of hacked apps, those that 'altered' it also added bits of code to merrily churn away and report your customer details back to a server somewhere. I'd like to think that the bulk of D2 StoreFront's potential customers know this and are wise enough to not use a crack for an application such as this and know not to download the app from anywhere but the D2 StoreFront site.
Source customers will be able to see at a glance how the various versions are locked down, i dont try to hide this and make the code as transparent as possible. I could have gone down the route of multiple builds, obfuscating code, complex registration and product activation procedures etc but after giving it much consideration decided all that sort of thing just makes life more difficult for our genuine customers, takes my attention away from developing the product itself and the hackers and crackers will just carry on hacking and cracking regardless because thats what they do.

Thats a good point Paul,
Anyway, is there any plan of including subscription on the application too? I think in this way you will have a wider market compared to your competitors since you will be able to support selling tangible goods, downloadable software and subscription.
Thanks.

Hi Paul,
I downloaded D2StoreFront117_FullSource, deployed at localhost.
After admin login http://localhost/Sitelock.aspx shows "Free Edition" in the top banner. The storefront home page has no such reference except free store banner at the bottom. Am I missing unlocking steps? I see both Logo_right_free.jpg and Logo_right_full.jpg in \images. Also did not see .sln and .prj files - no big deal to create but aren't they coming with full source?
Thanks,
Alex

Sorry, my fault, it should have been set with a full build mode for the source version! But full marks for sussing it anyway. As for the project files, its built as a website rather than a web project so within VS just go 'File --> Open web site' and it'll know what to do with it. Paul

Hi Paul,
I think the additional drop down option is not working for downloads? I have not tested it on tangible goods but for downloads it creates 2 dropdown box. By defualt those two are selected and there is no option to not select one of them so it ended up adding the two prices as your total even if the count of products says only 1.
Also, is there any way we can make the additional drop down option to be more than 2? Right now you can only have up to 2 drop down list. Maybe atleast 5 option do you think this will be an easy feature you can add? The more the better I guess.
Thanks.
Arnold

Arnold Hi Arnold, seems ok to me. I create a download, give it dropdown option 1 values of: small 0.00 medium 0.00 large 1.99 and it just creates the one list with these options and adjusts the price accordingly if large is selected Then i fill option list 2 with red 0.00 green 0.00 blue 1.75 and the second list now displays and again alters price accordingly. If i remove all options then no lists are displayed - is this not what happens ins your instance? Paul

Hi Paul,
Two things: "Featured Items" and "Items on Sale" would be nice to have. This way it would be easy to generate homepage.
Welcome message is nice but in many stores just omitted in favor of featured products.
Another thing is a top horizontal bar for brands and categories drill down...
Is above on your drawing board?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Paul,
To clarify:
I could not figure out how to set featured items in admin module. In store index.aspx I saw user control FeaturedProd.ascx, i.e. my question is basically how to configure in admin. I added products and they showed as featued without me setting them as such.

Alex Hi Alex, the featuredProd.ascx control is populated with a range of products that have the 'Is special offer' checkbox selected. So if you edit a product and select this it should appear in there. Paul

Hi Paul, could you please clarify on PaypalIPN.aspx? There is no source or sample.

Alex Hi Alex, what do you want to know about it? PaypalIPN.aspx is the page that handles incoming IPN notifications from Paypal. Its code source is within PaypalIPN.aspx.vb if you have the full source version and is compiled within the D2StoreFront.dll file and not viewable if you have the retail/free versions. Paul
