You can download the SilverCart tip version.

Do a MySQL backup before updating.

Perhaps you have to execute the /dev/build/?flush=all process twice.
After doing the /deb/build, there are a few SilverCart internal updates to do.

You can execute the SilverCart updates by using sake in terminal (sake SilvercartUpdateTask) or in backend (Configuration -> Updates). Especially the update routine for converting SilverCart 1.2 to the translatable feature is expensive, so i recommend to do the update in terminal/shell by using sake (sake is a lot faster then calling the update in backend).

If you can't use the sake update routine, you have to temporarily increase your PHP execution time, OR some of the update steps could be interrupted.
If an update routine interruppts, you can repeat the update step until it is displayed as 'success'.

PS: I forgot to mention that you have to rename the variant modules folder to 'sivercart_product_variants'.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian

i've loaded 1.3 (love the new interface!!) and added the product variants module. Without any documentation i really am stuck. Plus the module looks really buggy and im getting tabs with no text on etc.

I basically have a few tshirts which the user must select their preferred size. so would either need a check box group or drop down list of sizes - small, medium, large.

Im really stuck and really dont want to have to dump silvercart because of this. Is there any help you can give.

Many thanks

Tamara

Hi Tamara,

would it be possible for me to have a look into your installations backend to determine the behavior?

Or perhaps some screenshots?

If yes, you can send some informations to sdiel[at]silvercart[dot]org.

A few environment information would be great (perhaps Translatable/i18n default settings).

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian

i am in the process of uploading to my site as its currently on mamp. i downloaded a complete new silvercart to run 1.3 and product variations so you will notice the templates are standard. I will send you admin login details and an ftp login so you can see the install.

im just waiting for it to upload.

Many thanks

Ok, sounds good :)

I'm going to the german SilverStipe Meetup in about 15 minutes, so I won't be able to check your installation today, sorry.

Hi Seabastian

no problem at all, whenever you can help would be great. I've just sent you on email your own ftp logins and the cms admin login.

Many thanks

FYI: Solved this issue.

There was an i18n fallback bug when adding modules after a completed SilverCart installation.
