Downloaded both packages for free version of uCommerce, installation occurred fine with no errors. I added the hostnames for my final domain and localhost (iis express) development machine.
Each time I try to get to the /shop.aspx or /uCommerce.aspx I get XSLT parse errors such as these:
Sorry for the inconvenience. Could you take a look at the umbracoLog table and see if there are any error pertaining to uCommerce in there?
Also uCommerce only support SQL Server and SQL Server Express. If you installed on SQL CE, MySQL, or something else you'll see errors like that as well.
No errors on the log (installation was succesful). It appears to be a problem with the hostnames, but I've setup up both localhost and the final domain.
I'm using SQL Server 2008 Standard.
I'm using IIS Express/web matrix for development, are there any known issues with this combination?
I doublechecked on my end with a new install of WebMatrix to make sure that it isn't the culprit. My local install worked without issue so something else is going on here.
Could you check to see if there are any files in the /xslt folder in your website folder? It might be that permissions prevented the package installer from writing the files. Also please check whether the /config/urlRewriting.config contains references to the product, category, and catalog.
I'm having the same problem with the domain hostnames, I have everything set right and have tried every piece of information i can find, i can get it to work up to order confirmation with no hostname set and set as default it doesn't work at all when i set my domain hostname i've been trying to get this package to work smoothly and its just not working for me.
Did you have any luck Roger as it seems no one is getting back to any questions i ask. I most probably will have to look for another package as i've invested alot of time into this and it doesn't look like its going to be successful.
Thank you for getting back to me Søren really appreciate it as i'm about to lose my hair! Here is the screenshot, it seems to be working upto a point, but some of the url's don't load the razor scripts.
Now that i've placed the shop under the home node, is there a more convenient way of getting the hrefs to go to /shop/cart.aspx .. /shop/..
or do i have to change all of these manually in the razor scripts?
I have the UrlRewriting.config correct from previous posts you've stated pointing to /shop/.. but when i access this url :
mysite.com/shop/catalog/ and mysite.com/shop/catalog/product the razor scripts won't load :
I've been trying to fix all of this for nearly 2 weeks and took the razor store off and put the xslt on but i preferred the razor store functions. I wanted to get rid of the shipping method and have quantity fixed at 1 per product as the shop is selling courses and i needed to have input fields as part of the order for the user but as i'm having a hard time getting the process to work smoothly i'm wary of messing it up further by just taking those processes out. Sorry to ramble on i'm at a loss now and way over my timescale! Thank you again!
When you change the site structure you have to change all the links to the fixed pages like cart.
With the rewrite rules in place you still won't be able to link directly to the catalog and product pages as they require parameters that tell them which category or product they're displaying. If you take a look at the default Razor Store you'll see that the frontpage (shop node) has a template called "RazorStoreFrontPage" assigned to make it linkable.
So if i have 3 product category groups like UK, Ireland and Canada all with different courses in would i edit the catalog.cshtml in order to get them to display each catalog group for the user to go into? Are there existing parameters in place that i could use or would i have to create these from scratch?
You'd typically list the categories like when you do a site menu. So basically doing something like the left hand navigation already present in the Avenue Clothing store to list the main categories. When you do you also generate URLs for the details pages, which will contain the relevant context info so uCommerce can figure which category to display on the following page.

Hello Søren, thanks for the reply. We were in a hurry to get an eCommerce demo up and running and decided to use another plugin/vendor.
I know you have lots of work and that is pretty hard to talk with the whole community at once, I appreciate your time to answer, thank you anyway.

Hi Molly,
You can safely leave the hostname to default. It just means that that store is picked up for content sites.
Could you send me a screenshot of what the content section in Umbraco looks like?

Ok, Thank you i see that.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)
