I'm looking at Tea Commerce V1.4.4.2 and starterkit V2.2, installed under a fresh copy of Umbraco V4.7.2 and see the following Installed Packages have been included, including ImageGen and uComponents TWICE and others that I am not familiar with. Do I need them all? Is there a better starting point?
Sorry for the late answer. Our Umbraco have been down lately.
No, you do not need them all! They are our best bit on some very solid and helpfull packages, that just makes life easier for both developers and users. Some of them will not be present in the new starter kit for Tea Commerce 2. A few new ones will be introduced.
Personally the packages above are some that I could'nt live without.
OK. Now I have worked through most of the demo XSLT and trimmed up a version that is monolingual (English), single currency (AUD), no product variants, no VAT, single method for shipping and payment, and [kind of] added a second layer of categories. I still have some work to do on products/services/events and how to handle specials and discounts.
However...
I'm looking at your starter kit demo V2.2.0.0 under Umbraco V4.7.2 and cannot work out how the URL
It's done with a bit of standard Umbraco magic. The pages have a "Redirect to" (umbracoRedirect) which if filled out will redirect the user to the selected page.
I'm running the tea commerce starter kit demo V2.2.0.0 as downloaded - no changes of any kind. I followed the installation instructions http://www.teacommerce.net/media/11341/installation_guide.pdf to set up the SQL and then opened the site using webmatrix.
The site has been republished. I cannot find any 301 redirects.
The link under "Products" (see image below) is to /en/products/.It redirects to /en/products/category-a/ which is the desired outcome. Its just that the machinery for the redirection is invisible to me...
The redirect will not be visible in the menu. It will firstredirect when the page is requested. Have you published the "products" page? Or maybe tried choosing a new page to redirect to instead? Does that work?

Thanks Rune
I'm learning - working through your demo shop and building up a test shop under V4.11.2. Not liking XSLT very much :-(

You will be pleased to hear that the Starter Kit for Tea Commerce 2 is all razor!

I'm looking at your starter kit demo V2.2.0.0 under Umbraco V4.7.2 and cannot work out how the URL
- http://localhost:30507/en/products/
gets redirected to
- http://localhost:30507/en/products/category-a/
Likewise how the URL
- http://localhost:30507/en/cart/
gets redirected to
- http://localhost:30507/en/cart/cart-content/
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi John,
It's done with a bit of standard Umbraco magic. The pages have a "Redirect to" (umbracoRedirect) which if filled out will redirect the user to the selected page.
/Rune
That is what I though but its not there... The redirect is not filled out.
Could it be the umbraco cache that you should refresh by right click "Content" and republish the entire site?
Or maybe its the 301 redirect module?
Kind regards
Anders
Thanks Anders

Hi Rune
The site is a virgin install of Tea Commerce starterkit. The behaviour is correct.
Yes, republished.
Its just that I cannot see in the code or settings how the redirect happens.
Thanks
John P
You can't see how it happens. It's Umbraco core functionality magic. :)
/Rune
Thanks. Magic happens....
