Using Products in RC1?

[Colin F]

Hi Coders,

RC1 was released yesterday with the new product management system. If you're thinking of using it, make sure to read the following:

This was always supposed to be the case, but we forgot to put enforcement code into RC1 (it's in RC2 though).

Basically, a product ID is invalid if the following returns false:

PHP Code:

 if (preg_match('#^[a-z0-9_]+$#s', $productid))
{
// product id is valid
} 


Please make sure to take this into account when using the product system.

Additionally, Jelsoft is reserving productnames prefixed with vb for official products. Once again, please take this into account.

Thanks
