Drupal World

This has been a long time coming, I do not doubt that there will be more work, but now it is main clean ups. I feel all the functionality is there and really more than anything just needs hammering on.
One of the things that I was concentrating on when doing any bug fixes was to start doing them as Test driven development so I would create a test and then from the test fix the issue. This means that when the new PIFR system comes I will turn on the testing for e-Commerce so that everytime a commit is done, all the tests will be run and everytime a new patch is uploaded it will be applyed and tested so when we get to a new patch we know that it applies, and that it passes all the tests.
There is only a few tests ATM but as time goes by more will be developed, and I am getting faster at developing them so I will add them as I find tests to add, and as I fix issues. If you have any ideas for tests please create an issue and someone will get to them. I would prefer to have too many ideas for tests than not enough.
With all the new and much better things in the Drupal community has to offer I always things how much better it is being within the Drupal community. It is much easier to leverage what we have here than have to set up and maintain my own systems outside the Drupal community.
One of the main areas that I have been working on is to move all the theme_*() out into template files. I have completed the ec_cart module and I am working on others. Anyone wants to help please jump in.
Also the decision to have views do all the reporting is the greatest thing ever. I added a few lines of code and now ec also leverages the drupal search system to allow full text based searches of invoices and receipts. Then added some minor amounts of code for views and we now have a text based search. There were some sticking points with this as having a whole heap of exposed filters at the top of a report is very ugly. Now with some creative form and themes I have them all hidden away in a collapsible fieldset.
I also have a podcast that I am putting the finishing touches on and hope to release some time this week.
