Edito : We celebrate, this week, and thanks to you, the 30 000th member of our community. We are very pleased to see the members number increasing at a pace more and more sustained. Thanks to all!
Last week, the 6th e-Commerce Convention closed its doors. The following day, we participated in the Open Innovation Awards, as well as the Open Days, thanks to our partner agency Profileo. You will find in this newsletter’s summaries of these events.
Then, as each week, we propose you to follow the progress of developments on the SVN version, to discover a highlighted store, the news of the Community Forum and PrestaStore, focused this week on Smart Shopping modules. Enjoy!
Tuesday, our community has reached 30,000 members!
A new step is done, 3 months only after the step of 20 000 members.
This is an opportunity for the whole PrestaShop Team to thank you for your interest in our project and for all your contributions. Thank you all!
Our last events
Last Thursday, the 6th e-Commerce Convention in Paris ended. PrestaShop got very positive results from this event: a successful conference with Patrice Cassard (Archiduchesse.com) and Xavier Poitau (Axome partner agency), and nearly 400 contacts encountered throughout the event.
After 3 days full in meetings, we participated in the Open Innovation Awards, where we presented PrestaShop face to a worldwide Open-Source followers audience.
Alongside the Awards, our Gold partner Profileo highlighted our e-commerce solution during the Open Days. Thanks to them!
About the development: modifications on the SVN version
Several new bugs have been fixed in the SVN version this week, including:
- Display of all the CMS pages in the "Links" block even when no page is complete,
- Display in the customer account of orders with private status,
- Problems encountered when editing a customer profile,
- Bug on an order weight and the proposed carrier to the customer.
This list is not exhaustive, so please refer to the SVN for the complete changelog.

Currently, on the forum ...
Since the beginning, PrestaShop has been designed to be an international solution. Our community is the proof that this challenge has been won. :-)
But we, at PrestaShop, are intent on offering a tool that suits as much as possible with everyone's business in the whole world.
This implies in particular for the e-seller to be able to configure his shop in respect of the taxes and laws in effect.
For this reason, we opened a new forum inviting anybody to come and post all the taxes and laws specificities concerning e-commerce in general, or even more specially his own business, in his country.
This will constitute a good way for each community's member to contribute to the development of a promising tool that he will be able to make the most of.
Besides, two new moderators have been nominated, one for the Turkish section, one for the Russian section.
The shop of the week
This week, we decided to present you Headict.com !
Our team had a love at first sight for this greatly customized PrestaShop website. This e-shop is devoted to the sale of various hats: caps to berets, you'll have plenty to choose from to dress your heads, winter approaching :-)
Congratulations to the Headict Team for their excellent job!
