Patching Substruct
Posted on February 5th, 2008 3 commentsA few weeks ago I found Substruct, a Ruby on Rails E-commerce framework. I checked it out, played around with it, and decided to fix a few things to the way I think it should work and improved a few things. I figure it may help some of the folks who’s using it to run stores as well. So I am releasing it as a patch. The patch includes:
- Added order fulfillment code
- Fix OrdersController#ship_orders
- Fix Email settings
- Correctly checking SMTP Authentication Type when saving in Admin’s Preferences page
- Send emails to all customers whose orders have just been shipped
- Add user account login
- Show order details to customers
- Require login before checkout
- Use only password, not previous order # to login
- Fill in product descriptions to look more authentic
- https support for production
- Fill in Authorize.net account info
- Mask CC # except last 4 digits in db (cc_number validation needs to include ‘X’)
- Encrypt password in DB
- Add password confirmation
- Calculate tax (StoreController#add_tax)
- Add tax line to OrderMailer receipt view template
- Add tax line to admin interface showing order items (admin/orders/edit.rhtml and show.rhtml)
I started a Google Group discussion.
You can grab it here. Enjoy!

I’ve been involved in taxes for longer then I care to admit, both on the individualized side (all my working life story!!) and from a legal stand since passing the bar and following tax law. I’ve furnished a lot of advice and rectified a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes complete sense. Please continue the good work – the more individuals know the better they’ll be armed to handle with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
