Hi

I am trying to get the Umbraco Ecommerce extension to work with Umbraco 3.0.3. I know it is incomplete, however it does not seem so unfinished that it is impossible to get running, so I was hoping someone could help me out here. :)

I have compiled the source succesfully, referenced the datatypes and run the sql inside Library.cs, found the old shop-gif in an old package from Kasper Bumbech

Everything seems to be working, however when I try to expand the shop-node it does not expand. There's no error so it is a bit hard to debug.

Any ideas? :)

Best Regards
Simon

Hi Simon.

I currently work on making a package so it is possible to get the codeplex source to run.
In hope of when people can get it to run - they will contribute to the project.

your problem is in the DB - table: umbracoAppTree

False True 1 store store store folder.gif folder_o.gif Umbraco.Ecommerce DataControls.UmbracoExtension

Make sure that this is set correct.

Thanks !

Søren, do you have some examples you can show us, umbraco ecommerce sites ?

I think this one http://www.victorbyhasselblad.com/ is running the extensions, but i would like to see a more "shoppy" example, shopping cart, ...

Hi,

Here's what I did to install Umbraco eCommerce:

1. Compiled the source. You need to have the Web Applications Project add-in for VS2005 (Downloadable for free at Microsofts website)

2. I copied the dlls Umbraco.Ecommerce and Umbraco.Ecommerce.Webshop to the destination bin-folder

3. the StoreAdministration-folder was copied to the Umbraco-folder

4. The store dashboard-logo is missing from the (upcoming?) package. But I found the old one in an old release from Kasper Bumbech. It is located here http://www.kasperb.dk/2006/2/28/ecommerce-extension-update-update.aspx - it needs to be copied to /Umbraco/images/tray/

5. Login to umbraco - in the developer->datatype-sections you should see 2 new rendercontrols connect those to a datatype

6. Look in the db - table: umbracoAppTree - the content of the cells should reflect the below-mentioned
False True 1 store store store folder.gif folder_o.gif Umbraco.Ecommerce DataControls.UmbracoExtension
Søren Linaa helped with this step.

7. I'm stuck, everytime I try to add the Cart control, Umbraco shows me an ugly null reference-errorpage. I haven't had time to look into this, but maybe Søren can help here. It happens both when RedirectUrl is filled in, but also when its not.

Best Regards
Simon

Yes correct :thumbup:, I forgot those - they should be in the usercontrols folder

Thanks for listing the different steps, is it running now that you have the usercontrols in place ?

I have made a patch for my changes on codeplex.

But I have no idea how to commit my changes to the project. I have developer rights so it should be possible.
I have installed team explorer on my visual studio 2005 but I have no idea how to merge the two projects and don't tell me to read the manual.

Tim: The files were already there :) But when I put something in the basket, and then try to view the page .NET throws a [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

Søren: Unfortunately I haven't tried commiting a project on codeplex, so I can't help you. Perhaps some of the other contributors can.

Can you shed some light on which additions you made?

I am stuck, i am still a major noob with umbraco so i apologise if these are stupid questions, but i am really interested with the concept and one of the major problem is none of the ecommerce or simple shops 'module' is available for v3. I havent tried with v2 but i am trying to make it work based on the steps listed here.

1. i compiled the source, i put all the dlls needed into both bin folders and it compiled fine, and i put both ecommerce and ecommerce webshop dll into C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\bin
2. i copied the storeadmin folder from webshop to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\umbraco
3. i downloaded the old release from kasper (link above) and from developers->Macro->import package i imported the zip file.
This is when it gave me key value has been added exception.
Am i supposed to import it? if not then how else to add the shops? does anybody has a demo to show how to set this up? your help is very much much appreciated

regards,
