I am creating a new shop, but this time ideally it needs to be within an existing site.
I know the documentation says it has to be installed on a blank copy of umbraco but as the site has already been created I thought I'd try and see what happened on the off chance that it would work. I'd like the shop as a new node.
Thing is I've not used the starter kit before (only the demo shop) so not sure what it's meant to create to know if it is working? Having looked in the Tea Commerce Admin section I can see that the currencies and countries have been created but nothing appears to have been created on the front end.
Have I any chance of this working and if so what should I be seeing? Or do I need a totally new umbraco installation? I can't seem to find any documention for the starter kit.
The Starter Kit will have installed the following:
Content - A new root node with an entire site structure including products Doc types - A bunch of doc types used by the new content Scripts - Two javascript files Css - Three css files Templates - A couple of templates Macros - 11, I think, macros and a few more xslt's
You should be able to test it by opening one of the new content pages.
I'm not sure why. We have often installed the Starter Kit on top of another Starter Kit and it just creates duplicate content every time. What version of umbraco are we talking about in this case?
The content part of the package is regular Umbraco package stuff, so we have'nt been playing arround with it.
Unless you have any ideas I shall try completely uninstalling TeaCommerce and reinstall just to check that nothing went wrong with the initial installation.
Well, I just tried installing our demo webshop and then the Starter Kit on top of that. It went totally banas with conflicts and server errors, BUT the content was added correctly. So it must be something on your specific site... Might be the old umbraco version!? I use 1.7 on mine.
Yes 4.5+ is supportet fully. I'm just suggestion that the Umbraco package installation process might have changed slightly to allow installing content again. Sounds unlikely though.
If I where you I would either try again, or install the starter kit on another solution, and then copy paste whatever you need to the existing website. The javascripts, macros and so on is pretty easy to move.
I actually completely rolled back to before I installed either because when I tried to uninstall I got errors, so to make sure nothing was left I rolled the site back.
Installed Starter Kit, what should I see?

Thanks Rune for the quick reply!
That's what I'm missing! It hasn't actually created any of the content pages!
It looks as if it has created everything else though!
Do you think this is because it's not a blank version of umbraco or could it be caused by anything else?
I'm not sure why. We have often installed the Starter Kit on top of another Starter Kit and it just creates duplicate content every time. What version of umbraco are we talking about in this case?

The umbraco version is 4.5.2.
Unless you have any ideas I shall try completely uninstalling TeaCommerce and reinstall just to check that nothing went wrong with the initial installation.
Hold, on. I will just test something here!
/Rune
ok :)

Sorry I can't be of any more help.
/Rune
That's ok! Is 4.5.2 not supported then?
Either way I will try a re-install if not I'll just have to set it up separately for the shop.
Thanks for your help!

Yay! A reinstall appears to have done the trick! Seems to be fine now! Not sure what happened there!
Fantastic. Weird though.
How much did you reinstall? Only the Starter Kit or Tea Commerce as well?
/Rune
I reninstalled both!
I actually completely rolled back to before I installed either because when I tried to uninstall I got errors, so to make sure nothing was left I rolled the site back.
Yeah, the Starter Kit cannot be uninstalled. The Umbraco package uninstall process is buggy when it comes to removing nested Document Types.
But may I add that Tea Commerce will uninstall and not leave a trace of itself behind. Just a note for anyone else wanting to uninstall. ;-)

I dont know is the right place to ask but,
is it possible to see and edit the source code of the starter kit or we just allowed to edit front-end part (xslt,html,css and javascript)?
Any ideas?
Hi Novice,
The starter kit is totally open. It's just a zipped Umbraco installation, so if you can see et in the Umbraco you can see it in the starter kit.
There's really no source code in the starter kit, it's all frontend stuff.
Tea Commerce is not open source as it's our product. That said, we are very open to input and questions of all sorts.

Hi Rune,
Thanks for your reply and being open to questions. I appreciate that :)
is working on a reply...
