uCommerce comes in two packages: One for uCommerce itself and one for the uCommerce Store, which is our reference implementation of a uCommerce solution. You can use the store to learn from or even as a foundation for your own solution.

Once installed it creates a complete website that shows you how the Commerce Library works. You can download the store from the bottom of this page from http://www.ucommerce.dk/en/get-it-now/download.aspx

Thanks Soren, I actually figured it out and was coming back to post my solution!

Hi,

I have installed the package and when I try to add a product catalog I get the error:

ERROR CREATING CONTROL FOR NODETYPE: Catalog_Root

Can you help?

Thanks

Rog

Hi Roger,

Do you get the error in the dialog that pops up when you right click and select create? Or after clicking the create button in the dialog?

- Lasse

@Roger: Could you verify that the UI.xml contains references to uCommerce controls? That error is usually caused by dialogs not being registered properly - usually when Umbraco is updated after installing uCommerce.

If you're seeing the issue immediately after installation you need to verify the user you're installing with has write permissions to the Umbraco directory.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for my late reply. Yes the dialog appears when I right click and select create

Roger

Ok guys, I think I have it solved.

Basically I uninstalled the package, changed my permissions on the NETWORK_SERVICE account and my user account. reinstalled the package and it seems to work.

Not only that, the package has automatically picked up the multi lingual areas on the site and added tabs in the appropriate areas when adding a category/product etc!

Genius

Thanks!

Just another thing guys,

Is the package supposed to create a standard set of templates or document types so we can select them when adding a content page for the categories and products?

I cant see anything related to uCommerce outside of the Commerce section at all

Thanks

Roger

@Roger: uCommerce comes in two packages - one for uCommerce itself and one for the uCommerce Store. The store is available as a separate download from our site and is installed separately.

Download from http://www.ucommerce.dk/en/get-it-now.aspx

Background: The store is an optional package, which you can use to learn from or build on top of. You have the option to start completely from scratch, which will the more common scenario when you gain experience with uCommerce - at which point you probably want to create your own store to start from, which is set up just the way you like it.

By installing the store does it add templates and document types or just the xslt?

Roger

I have installed a clean version of Umbraco and then uCommerce and store and it works fine. However, If I try to install uCommerce and store on a current web build in Umbraco then the store package only adds the XSLT files

Is there anyway to disable manditory fields if the site is multi lingual? At the moment the uCommerce picks up that I am using more than one language and adds a tab for each language. however, there are manditory fields in all the language tabs that need completing before the entry can be saved

Roger

Hi Guys,

I am having a nightmare getting the demo store running now.
On the installation I am getting

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Any ideas?

I might have to create all the xslt, document types and templates from scratch and I am short on time

Rog

The store package should install a full site for you to use including content nodes, templates, macros, and of course the XSLT files themselves.

After a successful installation you should have the following in your content tree http://twitpic.com/1e1ceh

Are you running with elevated privileges or NETWORK_SERVICE still?

Which version of Umbraco are you installing on?

Which database type are you using?

Regarding mandatory multi-lingual fields: There's currently no way to disable them via config

If you're really in a bind on account of them, you can use this totally unsupported hack-around: Edit the user controls and removed the required field validators.

Hi,

I am in full permissions on NETWORK_SERVICE. latest stable version of Umbraco 4.0.3 and SQL2005 DB.

Thanks for the hack info ;)

Rog

@Roger: Are you seeing the issue when installing uCommerce or the store package? The store package is pretty straightforward and uses pure Umbraco package installation procedures. You could try packaging up your site and database and send it to me on [email protected]. I'm interested in seeing what happens during install for myself.

Thanks, I cant send over the project but i have just sent a screen shot. Please let me know if you need any more information

Rog

I have just tried to install other packages to check my permissions and they seem to install ok
