Add history

Ok. I'll do this. Thanks

There's a similar approach from acart module http://drupal.ru/node/10113 => http://www.drupalka.ru/node/89 and http://www.drupalka.ru/node/97

Suppose you need to join forces

Subscribe. I need too order history.

This is next in my todo list.
But I'm thinking about best architecture for this.
Orders can be special nodes or just store data in database and show lists in admin's area.

"Order as nodes" pros and cons:
1. We can use all power of nodes (hooks, build views and more).
2. Dificult for me to create this special content type with complex CCK-fields to store information about each item.

"Order as database record" pros and cons:
1. Easy to implement (for me).
2. But more code to build lists and all extra features should be coded by me.

Order as nodes seems to be better solution but I don't know to to simplify storing items info. For now I think this should be complex CCK-field: [noderefference] - [price] - [quantity].
Building this complex fields takes about one month (176h) so if you could suggest more simple solution - I'll be glad to do it.

I'm not very good expert in Drupal (and English). :)
For me, it would have been enough to create the "Order"-node, with contents of the cart as text in the body and text fields with information about the client.

Ok. Task is create a module which creates nodes to store order's information.

And if use to create stories of orders already finished module Webform? This module is often used.

having orders as nodes has disadvantage that they appears at content admin screen and they are visible to any user by default.

So +1 to it's own simple table (for D7 this could be an fieldable entity) and own admin section 'Orders'

If order is custom content type defined in simple_cart module (or submodule) than we can restrict access to nodes and regular users will not see this nodes. Also using ACL (or similar) will allow to restrict access to order-nodes for given users.

ACL does not allow to hide nodes from admin/content also it brings some sensible overhead for all node queries so BIG -1 to nodes

PS what's about joining forces with drupalka.ru?

Ok. Let 2.0 will be version where simple_cart and acart is joined.
