I set-up access control - however I'm logged as Admin (and for Admin account is not important set Access control). All modules required modules for e-commerce are enabled. I dont know hwere is mistake :(:(:(

Can you please list the modules you installed? (ie. did you install an actual product module like tangible?)

I installed all modules who are in e-comerce 4.7 pack. And activated (in module list) this modules:

cart
payment
product
shipping
store

I see settings etc. But When I click on Create content. I see only:

Story
Pool
Forum
Blog
Page

No Product!

When I switch on "parcel" module I see Create content > Product item ... but there is only one item: "collection of products". So it's quite clear simply Product Add is not available. Why? Very strange

(btw: I'm using drupal about 6 months and I'm not new in this system)

Any idea?
Thank you very much for ANY help.

I'm not certain on this (haven't finished installing the modules yet), but:-

Like Event and OG, I believe the e-commerce package allows you to make a node type into a product.

Like Event and OG, I believe the the e-commerce module does not automatically provide you with this node type.

I believe you'll need to install and activate one of the node-type modules that are shipped with the package (tangible?). This should let you create products.

I wish at this stage I could direct you to the product module pages in the handbook, but they are not all accounted for (some are in the moderation queue).

So instead, check down the bottom of the readme for a list of modules that you should be able to install via the Administer -> Modules page of your installation.

Yes, tangible is one. You need to install it like the other modules. You have only installed the mandatory ones.

Parcel is a collection of products. The module description describes it as "Create packages of ecommerce items." That is why that is what is added to the product creation list. Only product modules installed will show up in the product creation list(naturally right :) ).

Here's the run down of products.

  • Tangible is any basic product that is something tangible, ie shippable.
  • Generic is a basic non-shippable just price and name product.
  • Parcel is as mentioned above
  • File is a downloadable file

There are other more complicated products in contrib as well such as the auction product and the apparel and custom. The later two work with subproduct and are confusing a lot of people atm.

Thank you very much. I installed Tangible module and now I can add product (tangible product). All works well. However, I see there is few problems and this module collections need more development. If any interesting, there is my comments:

- I'm using (for another project) OsCommerce product. There is (in basic instalation) much more "extras" who are realy cool. For example - "bestsellers" "Customers buyed also..." "random product" etc.
- I'm from Czech republic and we are using there different marks for decimal and for thousands. In US you are using "," for thousands and we are using "." ... and for decimals again different (you are using "." bud we are using ",". I see there is possible change it, but whe I change it, there is mistake with couting. If I edit any product system re-count the price and price is growing (I add 200,00 and when edit instantly it is 20000,00 and if edit again, then price is 2000000,00). Crazy bug
- this module package is ready for on-line payment. It's great, but for our country unpossible to use. However, I still not able set-up simply paymens with delivering (customer will recieve goodie and play cash to deliever company when they bring it)
- I have big problem with Tax. In our country is common then customer see price WITH the Tax. However, this system is showing price WITHOUT Tax and Tax is added (visible) in last step - in cart. It's not good for our customers

However, I see one BIG good thing - this collection of module will instal e-commerce tool INTO DRUPAL SYSTEM. What is totaly cool. One system for web-publishing with implemeted shop. It's realy cool (no double registration for customers etc.).

So, thank you for this module package and if possible try to think also for oversea users :)
Thank you! :-)

I'm very glad you like it :). We've put a lot of work into it.

Open a seperate ticket about the numeric seperator. That is a relatively important thing we should incorporate.

I think you may be looking for COD as your simple payment option. This is a "Cash on delivery" which can be used if the customer plans on picking up and paying with cash or some other option. It is useful for any payment that will not be handled online and for testing the E-Commerce system.

The tax system is somewhat limited at the moment. Sime, who has posted on this thread as well, has a "flexicharge" module that he is working on that allows some charges to not be applied to the total. this would probably be similar to what you are talking about with your tax. Another option would be to incorporate a "taxable" option into product creation. We should probably start a seperate feature request thread for one of these options as well.

I think this has been sorted out.
