At the moment there is no demo site for v3, however you can try this zip file with instructions that I've made for v3rc2, which work very nice.

Good luck,

Hi!

Thanks for your quick response. I tried to follow your instructions. All worked so far, but I could not install the UmbracoShopDemoSite.umb correctly. Following message: "Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'wwfrontpage' Key being added: 'wwfrontpage'". I tried it

a) on a v3rc2 website, where a WebsiteWizard package has been installed before

and

b) on a clean v3 website (not rc2)

Any hint?

Greetings

Carsten

I have also downloaded this webshop. I installed in but when importing the package I get an error. I have all the macro's, and xslt's only Document Types i am missing something. I can't set a price for a product for example. And i can't view the products that where included with the zip. Could anyone give me some pointers how to fix it.:hmm:

Greets,

Johan

If you have ran the SQL script (creating tables and SP) and have these in your system, there is no problem using and building an online store.
Yesterday (June 25th) I've installed it on V3.

Hi Roni!

Finally it works now. Thanks for your help. The installation of the .umb file fails, if a template (i.e. frontpage) alreday exists. After I have deleted all templates and doctypes, I could reinstall the .umb file and it works then...

I have to "analyze" the extension now. All I saw so far is very good, but very rudimentary though. For example the checkout is very limited (no payment types, no login for returning customers and so on)... Is more planned, and is it possible to get involved in the development?

Hi Carsten,

You are more than right...
This extension is the e-Commerce extension created by Kasper Bumbech.
There is a new project in codeplex for this extension and you are more than right that there is much to do in this matter.

Hi Roni!

Ok, I have reviewed the stuff now a little bit... It might be a start for a <100 products shop, but is not usable for real shops. To tell the truth: nearly everything needed to run a shop is missing. No product management / import, only one tax-rate, nearly no product attributes, no departments nor categories and so on. Wouldn' t it be better to use an existing open-source shop "framework" and integrate it into umbraco?

Are you in contact with the codeplex-guys Hasselblad, kasperbumbech, mortenbock etc.?

I just want to clarify.

Carsten this is just a small ecom extension and has never been intended as a real enterprice shop solution - like amazon and so. We don't plan to change this beacuse the target is small shops with about 250 products.

If you need more tax rates you are like amazon that must sell to the local tax - because their turnover is to huge, but if you are under a certain turnover level in EU you only have to use one tax. så want you want is huge.

Umbraco offers all you need for categories etc. - you can make properties on the document and filter it with xslt.

But you are welcome to join the discussion at codeplex.

Hi Sören!

Sorry but my keyboard does not have the right o!

Unfortunately things are not that simple. For example tax rates: In Germany you have 2 tax-rates. 7% for books/food and 19% for most other things. It has nothing to do with the size of a company. I understand the goal of your project now, but if you look at other cms projects like typo3 or joomla, you will see that they have integrated a "full" e-commerce solution into their cms-systems. Even on DNN there are some more or less good "extensions", but the core DNN framework is a bit messy. This would be a chance for umbraco to fill the gap on the asp.net side.

I just thought that your extension could (should) have more substantial features too. I did not want to offend you.

Hey Carsten

ok I knew about that - didn't think in that direction though.
It should not be to complicated to build in diffentiated VAT - but it will be a new feature.

Hi guys and sorry for the delay...

As Linaa mentioned you can check the discussion in the codeplex area.
There are a lot of good issues for this extension. Although your idea on integrating another solution into umbraco could be a good idea. Still it need some thinking....:thumbup:

Tim -

Have looked at dashCommerce recently? It's the latest version of the open-source 'Commerce Starter Kit' that Rob Conery and Co. put together a while back.

I'd love to see this as an extension to Umbraco as this commerce solution is well proven. If there's interest perhaps we can start a discussion with Kasper about it.

Paul,

We recently had a pitch for job that was brochure ware / e commerce site and we were looking to do umbraco / dash commerce mash up. However we didnt win it so not going to do know. But both great products a bit of glue in between and it could be knock out solution!

Terrific! We're in the process of building out our web with Umbraco and dashCommerce now so there may be some output that we can push back to the community for this. I have one small site running on this stack now: http://www.leadtesttoys.com/. This site is a bit of a hack but it provided the inspiration to go forward with this combination.

I've taken the approach of integrating at the MEMBER level and, hence, I'm anxiously awaiting John Cruz's membership/role provider implementation targeted for v3.1. [I did some testing recently with this http://www.codeplex.com/umbraco/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=13882, it's getting closer.]

Also, I'm helping a few clients gear up for this eventuality via my Umbraco + dashCommerce focused company Motus Connect. Sounds like there's opportunity for future collaboration here.

Feel free to contact me.
