Any way of getting a Quantity limit as to how much product you have on hand? Say you have 10 items and you sell one, it will show that you only have 9 left to sell. This would definetly sell me on your product addon for vb.

Can there be an optionin in the AdminCP to edit an item, rather than selecting to 'add product' to get to editable options?

Is there a way to change the thumbnail size so that small images don't look distorted?

[NFLfbJunkie]

What is the point of adding options? They display in a drop down menu for what reason?

[NFLfbJunkie]

Is there a way tocontrol the number tof products that show as popular products? And will there be a way to set the viewing order of products within categories?

[NFLfbJunkie]

How can the image itself link to the next page like when you click on the title of the image?

[NFLfbJunkie]

Per the README.txt,

Comments, suggestions, etcetera are welcome, but please note that further modifications are not being planned, as this is intended as the final release of the lite series.

So I assume there will be a paid version with some additional perks?

Nope, this is a 'lite' version and does not have usergroup options, but discounts could be set using this example.

Option specification is available when creating products. Not sure what you mean by "formatting options of vbulletin."

Yep, this is just for PayPal. Coupons or discounts could be set using this example.

Lite right now means a basic cart. Not sure at this point if there will be a pro version.

Not without modifying the code to track inventory sold or currently held in someone's cart.

When viewing categories there is a link to products in that category whereby you can edit a product.

Try changing the CSS in the ACP settings for the cart.

Say you sell t-shirts: large, medium, small. The drop down lets someone choose the size of the shirt.

Find the popular products query in the code and add a limit to the query. There is no display order for products like there is for categories, but an order by clause could be added to the view category query.

Look at the related template to find the HTML for the title link and wrap that link around the image tag.

Not sure at this point if there will be a pro version. Time is more of a factor than anything at the moment.
