Okay, I've had it. I've uninstalled, re-installed (beta 2), configured, re-configured, tested and re-tested. Ubercart is simply not working!
In the process of trying to get this thing working, I've seen a *lot* of inscrutable warning messages, such as these...
user warning: Table 'barliesq_nicotinedrupal.variables' doesn't exist query: DELETE FROM variables WHERE name LIKE 'uc_notify_%' in /home/barliesq/public_html/_quitnicotinenow/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.
user warning: Table 'uc_store_footers' already exists query: CREATE TABLE uc_store_footers ( `path_hash` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', `message` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (path_hash) ) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci */ in /home/barliesq/public_html/_quitnicotinenow/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.
warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, '_content_admin_field_add_existing' was given in /home/barliesq/public_html/_quitnicotinenow/includes/form.inc on line 218.
warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, 'uc_product_add_to_cart_form_5' was given in /home/barliesq/public_html/_quitnicotinenow/includes/form.inc on line 218.This is really a bad sign. Well, I suppose Ubercart has only just gone Beta after all. But somehow I was expecting better. There's way too much going wrong here with no user friendly feedback explaining where there may have been installation mistakes. If Ubercart doesn't handle errors in a user-friendly manner, then how is it ever going to be considered production ready?
I'd like to offer useful beta testing feedback, but I've lost a lot of time here. If nobody has any ideas what I can do to make Ubercart function properly, then I have no alternative but to junk it and try eCommerce.
