Hi Shawn, Andy, and everyone in Ubercartland,
This is really great news! In our applications, we are granting roles on virtually every product purchase so it's awesome that support for role granting will now be included as part of Ubercart core.
Just one question: Is there any chance that the "file product" contrib module (which enables electronic downloads as products) could be included as part of Ubercart core?
I view support for electronic products as essential to almost all of our potential stores and even when we are shipping physical products, we often make electronic bonus files, Adobe PDF instruction manuals, etc. part of the of specific product offering.
It's also yet another great application of the new product feature system.
I also think including the file product contrib module as part of core would lower the barrier of entry to new Ubercart users (helping us grow the community) since a lot of emerging web stores sell only electronic products and might be scared by having to add-on a contrib module that may or may not be updated/compatible on a regular basis.
Including file products as part of Ubercart core would also encourage internationalization as some companies (such as us) sell physical products within the U.S. only, but will sell downloadable electronic products anywhere throughout the world.
Would be interested to hear the thoughts of others....
Thanks,
Ben
