Posted by Connie Hentosh on 04/14/00 05:53 AM

What is the state of the ecommerce module? I haven't tried
installing it yet... but I noticed in the latest release the LEFT-TO-
DO.txt file in the sql subdir said finish all ecommerce stuff.

What needs to be done?

actually, the main parts of ecommerce are done. The customer service part of it isn't done yet.

and how is now the ecommerce module?? I've tried it, but it is not available from the administrators main page, then I tried /ecommerce and it work but when I put a product it says something like: ns_mkdir /web/server2/data/ecommerce/products/01 is not such file or a directory... what it could be?? in my box the owner of the web directory is the nsadmin...

If you are using Beta 3, you need to create the /web/server2/data, /web/server2/data/ecommerce and /web/server2/data/ecommerce/product subdirectories. They were missing in Beta 3 but are in place for OpenACS final release, due next week.

If you are using the download module, you need to create the /web/server2/download directory as well. (this has been fixed for the final release)

Thanx Roberto, it works nice now! by the way, why there is not a directly link to the ecommerce module from the admin page?

Great ! I wonder why there's not a link from the admin pages myself. I'll check the aD sources to see if they forgot to include or if there's some reasoning behind it.

The link is missing from the aD sources, as well (I've run into this before). No idea why...
