Virtuemart open beta released (updated)
franzpeter:
Is there such a difference inside the database between VM 1.1.5 and VM 1.5? Did take a look inside the database tables, the most obvious thing in productor category tables are: addition of metatags, detailspage (maybe for templating) and the different standard entry for published, which is now 1 instead of Y and in the categories something for pagination. The manufacturer table has now the possibility for images.
So nedge2k: I do not understand why it should not be possible to migrate the database VM before 1.5 did not use metatags, so there is nothing to migrate in that case, the fields remain empty. Replacing Y with 1 and N with 0 cannot be such a big problem.
So it should be possible to update the database from existing VM 1.1.5 with the new fields and convert a few things. The biggest changes are not in the database but in the component files.
Virtuemart has a lot of users now. I think without a migration a lot of users will migrate to something else, what may have such a migration tool like Tienda or Redshop.
k0nan:
well a migration tool should be defenitely here before the official release
we can't leave behind our users..
darksoul:
I think for now other joomla component for shopping are not so cool as virtuemart.
The most important is:
- Virtuemart is free
- Virtuemart (and new 1.5) have multi-vendors tables (older) and capabilities
- Virtuemart is very known and there are a lot of extensions, themes.. and also if 1.1. haven't joomla MCV the graphics with themese was supreme. I dont see any demo of redshop, tienda, etc... like a Vm Junction, or Yageendo flypage template.
A question.. When is probable the release of RC, or stable?
Did the beta support joomla 1.6?
I tested it in joomla 1.5 in easyphp is worked but i can't access on the shop.
Perhaps i need to test in a clean database (there was vm 1.1 tables).
k0nan:
next beta is not scheduled yet, meaning that there is not an official date for its release but the dev team is working on it.
the current beta is not supporting j1.6
the next beta proabily will, btw the stable vm1.5 will support it for sure.
about your testing environment, shop can be accessed by creating a menu link and choosing VirtueMart as the menu type
a clean database is mandatory as there is no conversino tool atm (even if db tables that needs to be converted are very very very VERY few!)
if you are a PHP developer, don't waste your time, give us an hand :)
darksoul:
Sorry but i didn't. Im learning about some of php but im not a developer.
I try to myself learn using Module template adding some code and simple things.
The only one i made is Vm Total Orders... i simple counter of "C" confirmed or "S" Shipped.. ;D you know what i said.
