Description
Hi,
I am using the openresort module (www.openresort.org) which uses a special install of the ecommerce module, which is great!
But for specific import functionality which is yet only available on ubercart I need to install ubercart as well....
Ubercart and Ecommerce have named a contenttype both product...so it is not possible to have them both installed..
Is it possible to change the name of the contenttype of ecommerce to products or any other name which suits (or of course Ubercart)..
Has anybody have the same problem of trying to use both great modules ecommerce and ubercart in conjuction?
please post your solution to this.
Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!
greetings,
Martijn

You should not do this.
UberCart is a fork of e-Commerce and you may run into other issues.
But with v4 of e-Commerce if doesn't have a defined product node, this will be one thing that will not conflict.
I would recommend porting this import module to e-Commerce which should not be too hard.

Working through the issue queue... Marking as fixed as it seems to resolve the problem and no follow-up from original poster.

Small follow-up as the idea that UC forked e-C keeps getting posted...
Ubercart is not a fork of the e-Commerce code, but as Ubercart is also an e-commerce package, there is overlap between the two packages in terms of terminology and URLs. You won't have much collision elsewhere, since we try to namespace everything (including database tables, modules, and functions) with uc_ ... but you simply can't have both e-C and UC installed due to the existing conflict between the product content type (which gordon mentioned above will be abolished soon) and URLs like /cart.
I'm sure there are other conflicts, but these two are deal breakers at the moment.
You might browse the downloads here on d.o for import alternatives.
