A few more notes on the pending 5.4 update

I had some difficulties figuring out a weird bug with Fedex that was reported to me early today. That's why you aren't seeing the update posted yet. It set me back. Then one of my other clients mentioned how nice it would be if they could export their orders to, say, a CSV file.

Well, I decided that I would try to do the export feature before release, but not only will you be able to export orders, but also customer contact info (matching criteria), and product data.

I also decided to go ahead and fix a few bugs with the product import and change the way it works. The procedure is the same until the very last step where you choose columns. It's completely turned around, and it should work much better (and should be easier to understand).

I'll be working on some projects in the morning (got to pay the bills). When I'm done, I plan to get back to programming the new export feature and testing. Hopefully I won't find anything too major anymore in testing. I've worked through most of the bugs that were reported to me (a couple minor ones are still a mystery, but thankfully they seem to be happening on very few sites).

I've also added some security enhancements to help further reduce the likely hood of xss and sql injection attacks.

Well, that's it for me for the day. It's after midnight and my eyes are starting to burn. Good night everyone!
