Please reply to this thread with bugs related to this release. Please post any other matters in a new forum thread.

Once enough people have responded saying it works fine, it will become a new release.

I'll sticky this thread when I can.

OK, first notes.

Just getting it installed.
A number of config settings from the ReadMe cause dev/build to fail. they are:
//OrderFormWithoutShippingAddress::add_extra_field("tabName", new TextField("ExampleName");
//Product::set_global_allow_purcahse(false);
//Product::set_thumbnail_size($width = 140, $height = 100);
//Product::set_content_image_width($width = 200);
//Product::set_large_image_width($width = 200);
//ProductGroup::set_sort_options(true);

all others worked with default settings.

Pretty much the same as DsX for the config settings error (infact exactly the same).

Product::set_global_allow_purcahse(false); // just a typo in purchase

the others that gave issues for me were

//Product::set_thumbnail_size($width = 140, $height = 100);
//Product::set_content_image_width($width = 200);
//Product::set_large_image_width($width = 200);

looking through product.php im guessing (and i am guessing as im new to SS and Sapphire) that they should be

//Product_Image::set_thumbnail_size($width = 140, $height = 100);
//Product_Image::set_content_image_width($width = 200);
//Product_Image::set_large_image_width($width = 200);

as this is whats referred too in the

class Product extends Page
{
public static $has_one = array(
      'Image' => 'Product_Image'
   );
}

and again here line 541

class Product_Image extends Image {
}

other than that all seems pretty good to me, tomorrow (which is far sooner than i expected to be honest) will be taking from localhost to dev server and hooking up to sandbox to do a few test runs

Hi DaveO,

I agree that there needs to be better documentation for Payments.

The core payment module is not being updated as often as it should. I'm hoping to see this change.
There are newer versions of most of the payment types included in the core payment module, many of which you can find here:
http://code.google.com/p/silverstripe-ecommerce/source/browse/#svn%2Fmodules

A good addition to that documentation would be an up-to-date list of payment types, and where to obtain them.

hope this helps,
Jeremy
