So you recommend github?

I've uploaded a new copy of version 1.4.0 and cannot add new categories or products. A error message is flashing up when I click save but the error message doesn't stay on screen long enough to read.

I was getting it to work fine with the previous version, so I'm sure I'm not doing anything differently than before.

Long the new look by the way!

Cheers, Melanie

what i am trying to say is, you are not using google code
to it's fullest, so what's the point taking the whole project
somewhere else again and start from scratch?
what's the point of taking it to another repository
where it won't be used either?

ultimately it's up to you where you take it, and i don't
care, just use the tools you are given.

you need a document for the users how to report
bugs. stop encouriging bug posting on the forum
(so they are all in place and easier to track)
leaving only ideas and feature suggestions
there, they need to be discussed anyway.
actual patches for improvements can go to the
issue tracker as attachments. people who
can send patches, can also use svn diff, so all
the patches will apply cleanly to the current
working version. reject all the non-detailed
bug reports, so people are forced to learn how
to do it, otherwise their problems won't be
fixed. you need to start using svn and comit
smaller, incremental changes with comments
what happened and why. then make a release when
features are finished and the product is stable
and well tested. right now you are your one
and only tester -- that is the best way to ship
buggy software. changelogs need to be detailed
and verbose so people know if their particular
issues have been fixed or not and if it's worth
it for them to upgrade. regarding this last
point 1.4.0 is an epic fail. nobody has a clue
what happened except the new and shiny
graphics.

i hope all this sounds like constructive criticism,
because that's how i mean it.

1. There is a changelog in this release?
2. Does the database structure change at all from 1.3.4?
3. Do payment / shipping modules will need to be changed for 1.4? if so, how dramatic are the changes?
4. Is the Australia Post module still included, if so is it still the broken version?
5. Has anyone tested the upgrade path from 1.3.4 -> 1.4 and and confirm it worked successfully?

Also, why does the default graphic in the demo say "yours company slogan here" ? typo?

Cheers.

Can you show me how to upload and use the Flash in v1.4.0 (I chose Ckeditor with Full) ? Thank you !!!

Qphoria wrote: I recommended the forum for bugs back in 0.7.9 because it supported code tags and was in a familiar place. We got 900% improvement on bug feedback when we did that, and found an additional 300+ bugs that people were too bothered to post at google code.

If anything I'd say stop posting bugs at google code and only post them here. Leave google code for hardcore devs that want to upload patches for review.

I used the follow settings:

What do you all think?

murray wrote:I think the new release is excellent!!!!

I posted a little while ago about the need for the front end to be revamped which caused a bit of a passionate debate!

Now to make myself unpopular again! I have added below a slightly re-tweaked version of Daniels design which I feel sits a bit more comfortably. Although the new front end is good I think it could be better which is what I hope I have done. Its nothing major just a few small tweaks to header and nav which I think will make an improvement.

What do you all think?
