Zipur Toolbox

Add-on Name: Zipur Toolbox
Version: 0.2.4
Updated: 09/02/2020
Supports CE Phoenix: >= 1.0.7.5
Supports OS Commerce:  2.3.4.0

This tool is used for creating, updating, and removing add-ons and core changes from Phoenix/OSC. For now this utility has been removed from being able to be downloaded as it was more of a proof of concept than anything. The additional core compare tool and any add-ons can now be downloaded directly from this site rather than requiring the toolbox. In future, this tool may catch the eye of core developers and may find it’s way into the core … here’s hoping!

• Modules
  • Easy installer of packaged add-ons. These add-ons have to be created with the Package Creator or manually created to match the spec expected by zipur Toolbox.
  • Once add-ons are installed using the tool, you can easily uninstall, reinstall, delete, update the add-ons with a click of a button.
• Online Library
  • This Library will allow you to download any add-ons developed by Zipur with a click of a button. You will also be able to see what is installed and what updates are available.
• Package Creator
  • This is the best part as a developer. It allows you to code in your IDE and when done, you can package the files you need as well as SQL adjustments for install/uninstall/upgrade as well as turning any mods on/off pre/post install. It will also allow you to change all file versions and header copyright blocks at the time of packaging. You can even download a zip file from the tool containing your new package. The package is then ready to distribute to people also using this tool and they can install with a click of a button.

0.1.1 – July 7, 2020

• Fixed issue with multiple projects being loaded into the updater folder at the same time. There were some function collisions that had to be adjusted. As a result, the update.php file must contain the if (!empty($loadfunctions)) {} around the functions block.
