All, The latest version 1.11 has been available for a couple of weeks.
Check out our dedicated site at http://bigfish.solveda.com. A quick refresher on what BigFish is: * it does not compete with OFBiz in anyway, it's an add-on, focused on the business of eCommerce * in a nutshell I would describe BigFish as o a business extension, focused on providing business users (in our case that is our clients) with tools to build a scalable, feature-rich eCommerce online presence o as well as back-end tooling to allow business users to maintain all aspects of the eCommerce site such as content, products and configuration options * we have carefully tried to completely use the OFBiz data model and service layer o and have extended the data model only very slightly to accommodate specific eCommerce functionality o and re-used the service layer almost exclusively o so, for example, an Order placed via a BigFish eCommerce "front end" can be viewed, modified, fulfilled using all the great features of out-of-the-box OFBiz (always the ultimate test for us as we expose more back-end features into the BigFish Admin Module) What's new: * now available for download via SVN (http://bigfish.solveda.com/bfDownload.html) * TXT messaging integration using clickatell.com * custom attributes for Customer Registration o many retailers need specific prompts during registration o for attributes such as "shoe size", "birth date", "wedding date" or "whatever" so they can personalize subsequent email campaigns o we built a "custom party attribute" solution to handle such requirements * search auto-complete and spell-check o go to our demo http://bigfish.solveda.com:8082/online/control/main o type "blouse" in the search box, see drop-down of suggestions o type "blose" in the search box, click search, spell-check will return for "blouse" * and for anyone interested in Indian implementations: o BlueDart shipping integration o EBS payment gateway integration o check out www.fashionmyday.com, one of our first Indian clients (beta release) * and many smaller fixes and enhancements for both eCommerce and the Admin Module Questions and comments always welcome.
