Release coming - testing needed now!

by Christopher Johnson last modified 2007-07-13 06:15

We would love your help in testing the product we are about to release - our alpha product for a commerce system in Plone. The target use case for this release is donations, but lots of stuff is in place for basic commerce as well. Read on for more details.

After a lot of design and development work at the sprint, Kapil is leading the charge to prepare the Red Ochre release!

Since the sprint, there has been a lot of refactoring. What does that mean? Well, for one, the product is getting a LOT better! But what that means that impacts you...is that we need your help testing.

The product is now available in a more traditional Plone product way - just download a tarball and stick in your Products directory, restart Zope and see how it goes! (for more on the issues with buildout see dev list message). Get the latest tarball from our Google Code downloads section (The Friday the 13th version is here).

You should be able to:

  • Install it to your site
  • Go to product config area and: Configure it for donations, shippable products, etc
  • Go to content in your site and make it "buyable" or "a donation" from the actions menu
    • Set the price etc
  • Browse the site and when on buyable content, be able to add to cart
  • Review your cart
  • Checkout (fill out info for the order)
  • View your order history
  • Get Paid!

If you find any problems, PLEASE report them to our development mailing list. You can also join us in the IRC channel #getpaid (irc.freenode.net).

Thanks for your help! Keep a look out for the pending alpha release!
