Will I loose my data (products, prices, images, etc) ?

Thanks
If you follow the Upgrade steps posted in the Installation/Upgrade Support forum then you shouldn't lose any data but always backup before upgrading anyway.

No, but they are still unusable in Europe!

Hello,

Good work Daniel, the current version seems good, but what we are really missing is some good professional templates for the store. As the same product cant be delivered or showed to various clients. Can we have some really cool templates where apart from the look and feel the positions and placements of tabs and products also changes, also we can have an option for a drop down in terms of products.

Also i would like to know that can we change the option for the home page where only latest products appear, cant we have an option where we can display 30-40 products on the home page. Also can we have an option for banner management where we can place banners on our websites for advertising either on the left or right side or even bottom of the page these banners can be placed on any page as and when required.

Apart from this there one more important features that i have been looking for and asking people on this forum, can we have an module for sending sms's to our clients whenever an order is placed.I have the sms gateway with me but i dnt know how to integrate it with opencart whenever an order is placed and a payment option is selected and the customer should also receive an sms as confirmation stating that order has been placed. Similar to our emailing process.

Pleas, if you want new or additional features added to OpenCart post them in the Feature request topic.

I have split the feature requests from this release topic moved them there.

I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the releases here. On other open source projects, the development team generally does Release Candidate builds. That way there is a differentiation between the stable versions and the "please help us test this but you might not want to put it in your production environment" versions. I've seen Release Candidates go up to RC26 before. You can roughly measure release quality by how often you are releasing RC builds. Ideally, RC builds will slow to a crawl (you might initially release daily until the major issues are fixed and then things will slow down). Don't add features during an RC phase, just bug fixes. RC builds allow for keeping the same version number when going live. (1.4.1 RC5 then becomes 1.4.1 when everything is solidified.) There may still be bugs but the obvious ones will get squashed. I would do an RC build when you think you have nailed all the bugs that people found since the last RC. RC builds conform to the developer's mantra of "release early, release often."

Just a couple of thoughts.

Thanks it is great you are making this fast progress.
Any complaints about too fast releases or hassle of upgrades are in my opinion obsolete, as you are defining the product here better and better.
There will be a point where the architecture is so well, that upgrading will be easier.

But however I have some installs with older versions and they are all reliable and function very well.
No need to upgrade everything.

Working on a new project now with the newest version it is a breeze :)

Getting invoicing to be well usable in Europe too would be awesome :)

Cheers,
tronics

This is one of the whiniest communities I have ever seen (some not all)
Who the hell told you that you have to upgrade???

Whats more disturbing is that you hang around the forums all day waiting to give out to someone for making a great bit of software for free!!!!

Only upgrade if you have to (ie security fixes).
Don't bite the hand tat feeds you indeed, just annoy the hell out of him so much he hangs up his gloves and another great open source project dies.

Rant over...

First of all, Great Job on Open cart, it's awesome, quick question; Did you guys fix the USPS shipping bug I found in version 1.4.0, I'm still using 1.4.0, I fixed the bug in code, and posted a quick fix in the forums, just wondering if you guys wrote the error handling code for the USPS server error messages. I'll keep checking the forums and download the next stable version and convert everything over, meanwhile I figured out a cool way to "COPY" products & items in 1.4.0, it's a little trick, requires no coding, I'll post up directions as soon as I get a chance.

I'll take one guess:
1. EDIT a product
2. Change the FORM action to point to insert and remove the product id field using Inspect Element in FF or Chrome

This may not be your way, but it would also work

Set your compression level to 0 instead of 4 in the settings area under the server tab. It is trying to show a php error but it causes compression errors
