Hi

Please view http://www.drupalecommerce.org/ec_solutions for a comparison chart which gives the strong impression that Ubercart has ... no working features at all ;)

There are a couple of UC forum threads at http://www.ubercart.org/forum/general_discussion/2716/drupal_ecommerce_v... and http://www.ubercart.org/forum/general_discussion/12799/ubercart_vs_ecomm... but neither is completely up to date.

I wish the EC team the very best with their development and look forward to using the EC module in an upcoming project of my own. However, I feel that it's appropriate to only publish verifiable and accurate information about other projects; a misleading chart may be giving people false understandings.

I request that the E-Commerce team take the following actions:

1. Do not display inaccurate information from the comparison chart. Remove the UC column or unpublish the page until the information in the chart is updated.

2. Initiate an open dialogue with the Ubercart team about the features listed on the chart (ie, go post on the UC forums a series of questions like "Does Ubercart support _________? By this I mean ____ ____ ____ ____." so that the UC and EC teams can collaboratively produce an accurate comparison chart using voices from both sides.

I do see that the chart says "N/A" for most UC entries, but colouring the squares red and stating N/A and not providing a disclaimer that says "well, actually I just don't know whether UC does these things" fails to convey the real message behind the chart.

Cheers!

We've got a Google Docs together and are currently in the process of correcting the table in your comparison chart.

The doc is at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=t1q-M2-h3qSeA2LkS2jn3fA - feel free to contribute to it.

Will follow this issue up once a good number of people have had a chance to sort through the table completely.

I've added a new column "Übercart 2" and updated some information. It's still not complete, however. There are some features in Übercart that are missing in E-commerce.

I've updated the table. I am only familiar with Ubercart, so I only edited that column.

I agree with George, there are features in Ubercart that are missing in E-commerce.

Also, it would be interesting to add the new Drupal commerce to the chart.

Title: Ubercart vs E-commerce comparison chart is inaccurate / misleading » Ubercart vs e-Commerce comparison chart is inaccurate / misleading
Category: bug » task

The page this issue related to on www.drupalecommerce.org is no longer accessible, so this issue is IMO no longer relevant (and I'm closing it "can't repro").

The Google Doc might be of use to some people, but without Drupal Commerce included it's probably as misleading as the comparison I originally opened this issue to address :P

If you are here and feel like you haven't had enough hilarity about Ubercart versus e-Commerce vs ..., I highly recommend the "Ubercart is a fork!" series at http://drupal.org/node/312142
