Sorry, I am newby in using the whole drupal so please by patient with me.

I am developing an ecommerce website an enabled the modules as described by the ecommerce module. here is the sequence:
There is a single non-EC module to install.
1) Token
It is recommended at this stage to install the following E-Commerce core modules before anything else:
2.1) Mail Subsystem
2.2) Product API
2.3) Anonymous purchasing
And then these core modules:
3.1) Store
3.2) Cart
3.3) Payment API

4.1) EC Live Subproducts
4.2) Tangible Product
and then
5) Tangible Subproduct

Now I went to Home › Administer › E-Commerce > Subproduct attributesand but when created the variation it did not get stored!
I clicked on the List link as well and it says page not found!!! here is the URL "/admin/content/taxonomy/-2". I have no idea what is going on, because of this everytime I go to the Subproduct Attribute from the Create Content link it gives the folloeing error in a red box :"You cannot create an attribute without a variation. Create one variation first."

Please advice what am I doing wrong!!!

Harvinder,

ok. lets see if i can help. well, EC Live Subproduct uses Taxonomy (Categories) to manage the Variations. So when you install the module, it should automatically create some new Vocabularies. Go to Admin > Content Management > Categories and see if "EC Live Subproducts: Product Variation" is there. If its not. you should disable the module, uninstall it and then install it again.

If its already there, you can create variations or thru Ecommerce > Subproduct Attributes or thru Categories (Click on "add term").

Now you created variations (color, size, etc), you now now create Attributes. Create Content > Subproduct Attribute.

Finally, you must create Subproducts: its a product type that acepts attributes and variations. But if you need any help on that, post here later.

regards,

massa

PS: Drupal is much more complete than many other CMS, but its still made by people. If its buggy, just post here and someone will give you some help!

i had the same issue and reinstalling it worked - thnks
i think sometimes its best to go through and enable modules one at a time
[though not sure why]

anon,

"install one module at time". i said this to Drupal core team members. There is many problems when modules have some kind of dependencies.

im going to consider it fixed. if anyone believes its still a issue, please post here.

I managed to install it, apparantly it was not installed at the first go. I unselected the modules and uninstalled them from the admin panel and then re-enabled them again and this time the tables were made properly I guess! Yes I did take great care of enabling modules whose parents were pre-enabled.

After using e-commerce for a bit, I am switcing to Ubercart. Sorry I am not saying that Ubercart is the best, but it certainly is very easy to start with and the store is up and running with very minor adjustments

Thanks a lot for the help!

Title: Could anyone pleas help! » Not generating vocabularies on install.
Status: Closed (fixed) » Active

I was having trouble getting this module to work when I found this post in a search. I tried what is recommended here including (in order):

Disable Module
Uninstall Module
Re-enable Module
Check for vocabs - none found
Disable Module
Uninstall Module
Delete Module from server
Remove all mention of this module from the database
Re-wget .tar.gz from Drupal.org and uncompress
Re-enable Module

At this point, on the build/modules page I get this error:

"An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."

However just below that it states that the configuration options have been saved and the module is activated.

I then check to see if the vocabs have been created and they have not.

Do you have any suggestions? The first time I attempted to install this module it was a brand new install. Now all I've basically done is install ecommerce and uninstall and reinstall this module fruitlessly trying to get this vocabs to appear.
