    uCommerce 3 for Umbraco 5 *beta 1 available*

    It's with a great deal of pleasure that I announce uCommerce 3 for Umbraco is available for testing.
    Feature highlights:
    • Umbraco 5 support (5.1 and up)
    • Custom data type support
    • Improved custom UI support in back-end
    • Lots of fit and finish in the editor UIs
    • Several tweaks and improvements to frameworks and APIs
    If you decide to take uCommerce 3 out for a spin please observe the following:
    • Umbraco 5.1 required (5.0 will not work due to binary incompatibility between 5.0 and 5.1)
    • SQL Server Express and up required (no SQL CE)
    • This release cannot be installed in Umbraco 4.x
    Known issues:
    • E-mail content picker not complete, only a text box
    • uCommerce sorts as the first app in Umbraco app tray
    Installation
    • Go to developer section
    • Expand Packages
    • Click local packages
    • Browse for the downloaded nupkg file and click upload
    • Once upload completes check "I understand the security risks.." checkbox to enable
    • Click the green arrow icon next to the uCommerce package
    • Wait for install to complete
    Looking forward to your feedback!

    Soren,

    Do you have a set of scripts and templates etc for the basic features akin to the demo store in the previous version?

    I dont mind if they are basic with no styling etc... im just still very new to Umbraco v5 and obviously UC3 and it would be a great help in my learning.

    Thanks

    Damian

    Also some feedback from the install....

    1. My Umbraco 5 install was 5.0 so i upgraded to 5.1 and then installed ucommerce3 and all went well!

    2. Went to the umbraco tab and I got a RTE... good start i though! Then i realised it was me that was the issue! Like a numpty i forgot my U5 install was running on SQL CE! So first task was to test the uninstall! lol Which again went well. Nice clean uninstall.  

    Maybe there could be a built in database check to stop this happeneing - might be chicken and egg though i guess!?  I did wonder how the install maanged to succed if it couldnt access SQL?

    3. I create a new db on sqlexpress and after the install, because id already downloaded UC3 it was listed as a starter kit.  Hmm.. Will that work? Well yes it did! :)

    4. Cracked open ucommerce and all the backend is there and working with some default products loaded.

    5. Im now a bit stuck because i dont know enough about U5. Hoping you can send me some scripts to get me going again.  I dont know if i need to be building plug-ins (surface controllers) or just scripts and macros.  Also... whats the API? Has it changed etc...

    I'll have a bit more of a play and see if i can do some basic tasks like list the products etc... with scripts using my old scripts with some tweaks until you come back to me.

    Cheers!

    Looking good so far! :)

    Well after fighting umbraco for a bit i've worked out how to create a basic menu from the demo catalog but now im stuck on how to map URL's to the templates!

    Ive hunted about but not managed to pinpoint where the urlrewriting is done to map to my templates etc...  Can you point me in the right direction?

    Thanks

    We were going to do a Razor starter store for Umbraco 5, but with the recent announcement that Umbraco 5 is replaced by 4 we'll go ahead and do the site for 4 instead.
