Feature request: update ecommerce 'order view' and 'dashboard'

[exponentcms]

Since several sites are now using ecommerce out-of-the-box instead of a custom solution, the day-to-day interaction with the ecommerce system is pretty dated and not as usable as it could be/needs to be. Here's some ideas for updating those interfaces:

• Manage Orders

  • column filtering using DataTables, also date filter
  • color indicator of paid/unpaid
  • indicate payment type?
  • color/icon indicator of order status

• View Order

  • link to customer account
  • better usability on initial tab (we don't need to only see the receipt, but the status, etc.. Doesn't need to simply be a copy of the invoice
  • perhaps most info/statuses on the main view?

• Dashboard

  • use some fancy charts?
  • provides some totals (active carts, new orders, online visitors, etc...

[exponentcms]

• And mostly it MUST be responsive!
• Some of the store management vies need to be full width (use action_map?)

[exponentcms]

• And perhaps a vertical, collapsible ecommerce menu
• And an ecom specific search feature (we already have a widget for this for the most part)

(from [891f13d062fa2565a66d9cd8437ba534429e21b8]) Several e-commerce updates; updates sales tax management to allow for origin & destination taxes; allows enable/disable tax rate; adds US sales tax table to store sample and ecommerce default databases; adds new responsive order view to bs3; adds 'steps' display to checkout process (new breadcrumb smarty function); fixes viewuser to allow non-admin users to display their order (regression fix for security fix); revises Store Configuration tab groupings [#1215] [#1220] [#1218] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/891f13d062fa2565a66d9cd8437ba534429e21b8

(from [3e8e96f94a6daeb85126740a97a3397fd34603a6]) Updates showall orders to better flag new orders [#1218] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/3e8e96f94a6daeb85126740a97a3397fd34603a6

Notes,

• we now have updated the showall orders view to display color-coded payment status (badge) and order status (green asterisk), and now show payment type. This view still needs column filtering using DataTables, also date filter
• we now have a new bs3 responsive show order view, but it might still need some work/cleanup. Everything on one page with some micro-tabbed areas instead of everything on different tabs.
• we've added some total order stats to the dashboard (open orders, new orders, orders processing)

Recently set the bootstrap3 based show order to have 'change order status/type' and 'email customer' areas initially collapsed.

Perhaps the best approach to a bs3 ecom dashboard is via a subtheme with the menu in a collapsible sidebar (container)? That way it could easily pull ecom action/view into the main pane?
