Hi Gordon, I've developed a few sites with 4.6 and E-Commerce so I feel quite confident with it. However my experience with the new 4.7 is still very little. I feel like I have to help to this port of e-commerce to 4.7 So I would like to try with the shipping.module first. Robert Garrigos Gordon Heydon wrote:
Hi all,
As a lot of people here know E-Commerce is a great set of modules and adds a lot of functionality to Drupal that a lot of web site use and love. A lot of high profile sites like goodstorm.com, and many others use E-Commerce.
The unfortunate thing is that with the major changes to Drupals formapi, and many other changes the current CVS version of E-Commerce is not working. With the pending release of Drupal 4.7 we need to fix this problem. This is a large job and I really need help to get this done.
I know that I have had kind offers from Bryght to use the svn servers to coordinate the development, but because of the type of system E-Commerce is I feel that the level of accountability needs to be higher. We need to be able to track every change back to the developer that made it. So making the changes in Bryghts svn server and coping the blob of changes to drupals contributions is not going to be acceptable.
Since we have a code management system in Drupal (namely cvs) which works fine and most of the E-Commerce developers have contributions cvs write access, I am going to get everyone to commit changes directly into contributions.
For developers without cvs access please email me the patch and I will commit them.
For testing I have built a web site http://ecommerce.heydon.com.au which is updated from cvs every 3 hours. so any testers can test the latest version of ecommerce, can create a login at the above site, and if you need administrator access, just email me, and I will give it too you. If the frequency needs to be increased I will increase it.
I have started converting the store.module to 4.7, and if I can't find someone suitable to do the product module I will also be doing this. Other wise people can email me what they are going to be doing, so that I can coordinate it. I will also be trying to hang out in IRC a bit more so that I can be contacted easier.
I would like people to work on the core modules first, but any help is welcome.
Thanks for any help that people can give. Gordon.
