The quote feature  is  an implementation of a shopping cart within prestashop framework, without the price : we have designed this feature for specific groups, for which we deactivate the price display on the shop.

• Deactivating price display for specific user group (below : group 2) is a long task that involves 2 different steps
  • in init.php : set the smarty variable around line 116
    1. $priceDisplayConfig = intval(Configuration::get(‘PS_PRICE_DISPLAY’));
    2. if($tmpCust->isMemberOfGroup(2)) $priceDisplayConfig = 3;

    And around line 155

    1. ‘priceDisplay’ => $priceDisplayConfig
  • use the smarty $priceDisplay variable in the templates to hide prices and change the “cart’ (panier in french) to “quote” (devis), example from homefeature.tpl
    1. {if $priceDisplay<3}{l s=‘Add to cart’ mod=‘homefeatured’}{else} Ajouter au devis {/if}
• Quote / Devis module and status :
  • Download and install the “devis” module Module Devis pour prestashop (284)
  • create the mails/devis.html and mail/devis.txt and change texts according to your business
  • create the order status “devis en cours” in BackOffice >> Orders >> statuses, check the created id (12 here) and add the following line to config.inc.php :
    1. define(‘_PS_OS_DEVIS_EN_COURS’, 12);
  • You can optionnally deactivate the order confirmation email in classes/PaymentModule.php, line 288-290, replace the send email to customer test by adding a new condition :
    1.         // Send an e-mail to customer
    2. if ($id_order_state != _PS_OS_ERROR_ AND $id_order_state != _PS_OS_CANCELED_ AND $customer->id
    3. AND $id_order_state != _PS_OS_DEVIS_EN_COURS)

w-script is a nice example of how a good development framework like codeigniter can deliver solid applications. W-Script is a simple wall paper script that comes free opensource with many functions, one them is the color indexing that allows searching colors in pictures.

while gmail is certainly one of the most professionnal email readers, I still like to sort messages in folders and sub folders the way I used to do in old outlook clients. Even though google tries to promote its wonderful search capabilities, argumenting they remove the need for hierarchical labelling, I can’t get it out of my mind, and I ‘m not the only one. As of today, is takes a few minutes to configure your PC / chrome navigator to process sub folders.

1. download the sub folders script from the adresse below and save it  to chrome’s directory :

   Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts
2. enable user script on your chrome application by using the –enable-user-scripts command line tag,a s sexplained here

In spite of its remarquable popularity, Prestashop still suffers from a complex layout design that makes it quite hard to customize, especially when one  compares with the flexibility of zend framework layouts as they are implemented in Magento. This is why a shop built with prestashop often bears a strong resemblance with the default design, and designers find it hard to get away from the usual 3 column layout with rounded corners block that’s presented by default. Below you’ll find 10 shop sthat display a good work on prestashop, customized  to a level where  one wonders if this is still Prsetashop behind : yes  is it possible to do opensource ecommerce at a fraction the cost of setting up a Magento shop, and do it well too. It’ s intersting to notice that most of these  shops share the common love for the top horizontal drop down menu.
