Survey about Cars Attributes Plugin
« on: February 26, 2016, 05:02:02 am »
I'm working on a site that will be run on OSClass and I'm using the Car Attributes plugin. There are a few things in the plugin I'm changing for myself.

As I'm already going to be modifying it, I thought I'd do a survey to see how many people are using this plugin and if it would be worth the time and effort to try and improve it for others. I'm asking because doing the changes for myself is easy enough but if I'm considering other people, backwards compatibility, compatibility with standard OSClass, and updating it increases the difficulty/time investment by a lot.

The questions are:
  • What version of OSClass are you using?
  • What theme are you using (please include theme version too)?
  • What version of Cars Attributes are you using?
  • Is your Cars Attributes plugin original or modified? (If modified can you give a basic example of what was modified? Were database tables changed, code customizations or just simple tweaks/wording?)
  • What is your skill level when it comes to coding or database changes? (Are you comfortable editing code/database tables or do you need everything done automatically?)
  • What are the most important changes/features you want specific to this plugin?
  • If the work done was helpful would you be willing to provide a link back or small donations for it? (Not a big issue, this isn't much of a deciding factor so please just answer honestly.)
  • Any other comments or notes you have would be great.

Thanks!

Dear envmar,

What version of OSClass are you using? - 3.6.1

What theme are you using (please include theme version too)? - Bender Black 3.1.3

What version of Cars Attributes are you using? - Latest as of now - 3.0.4

Is your Cars Attributes plugin original or modified? (If modified can you give a basic example of what was modified? Were database tables changed, code customizations or just simple tweaks/wording?) - First I modified the coding (did not touch the DBs since I have 0 knowledge in them) to reduce number of attribute fields (left only make, model, year, engine size and mileage), but the plugin did not work properly (you can find my post related to it on this forum). Now, using the stock plugin (with additional localization).

What is your skill level when it comes to coding or database changes? (Are you comfortable editing code/database tables or do you need everything done automatically?) - For DB - 0, for coding - some basic knowledge.

What are the most important changes/features you want specific to this plugin? - Simpler front-end interface, i.e. there are too many fields that confuse users. I would leave only make, model, year, engine size and mileage. The best option would be to integrate a back-office option to add/reduce such attribute fields thru enable/disable ticks.

If the work done was helpful would you be willing to provide a link back or small donations for it? (Not a big issue, this isn't much of a deciding factor so please just answer honestly.) - If the work would be done, and the plugin would work smoothly with OS Class (asking for tech support and upgrades over time would be too much to ask :)) I would gladly link back, or pay some $$$ for it.
