Im unsure how to configure ubercart marketplace correctly. Drupal documentation and the readme in the uc mp module leads me here http://www.ubercart.org/forum/development/5344/ubercart_marketplace_deve..., this is more of what the module includes, not really how to set it up.
I installed ubercart and ubercart market place. and have enabled all core moduls on ubercart and all modules on market place, I have orders and selling links on my profile, but theres no links for any users to upload their own products etc.
Im completely lost on what I should be doing. Can anybody help please, Thanks.

Re: Marketplace
The primary settings are available at store administration >> configuration >> seller settings. First, you must create a "seller" role and assign appropriate access permissions to that role. A user with that role can then create a product by navigating to create content >> [product type]. The seller's interface is located at My Account >> Selling. I apologize for the lack of documentation. I have not found time to make it any better. You may also find snippets of tips/help in the issue queue on Drupal.org. After these brief instructions, let me know if you have any specifics you are struggling with.
Re: Re: Marketplace
Thanks for the response, marketplace was alot easier to set up than I 1st thought. However, I have a few problems.
The first I have big issues on the user side, this could be something unrelated to marketplace, maybe the way ive set up profiles etc. But marketplace has put links on user pages showing what the user is selling and what orders the user has. So I'd have www.mysite.com/user/2/view/Orders or user/2/view/Selling. Except these 2 pages dont exist, the links are there as they should be, the user has items to sell. But when ever i click on these 2 links i just get sent to the users profile rather than the 2 pages shown. But as i said this could be the way Ive enabled my profile, or views, etc. Any help appreicated though.
Secondly not so much a problem, the user has a selling page user/2/selling where they can view and edit what they are selling. But to add an item to sell they have to go to create content -> product, isnt there a way I could just have an add item link on the selling page which would take them to the product creation page. This would make everything a little easier.
Thanks
Re: Re: Re: Marketplace
1) I am not exactly clear on what you are describing, but I don't believe the two urls you have mentioned exist. The menu item for the selling page is user/*/selling. The orders page is user/*/orders. There is no "view" argument in these. Therefore, since they do not exist, Drupal is redirecting to the root user page.
2) You could add such a link to the selling >> view products page. There are multiple ways to go about this. Create a custom module and implement hook_help to override what I have in place, use a module like string overrides to override the text, or hack the marketplace module by simply modifying my text in mp_products.
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.
I Guess I'll have ago at making my own link when im a but more confident at hacking or something.
For number 1, after reading what you said, I looked through some of my modules, and it looks as though there was something wrong with the modules I was using for my profiles.
I have the user/*/selling tab on users profiles, so a user can see thier own products, edit their own products etc. But other users cant see other users tabs. Is it suppose to be like this, or just the way ive configured it?
Admins can views other peoples selling tabs, but other users cant.
So the only way users can see other users products is if they go to history or recent posts etc, and then click from there.
Thanks again for the replys

Users should not be able to view other users' selling tab, because that would not really make sense. Orders should be kept private and not shared with everyone, I would think. If you want to make a listing of a user's products, use the Views module and place a block on the profile page or something like that. If you are using advanced profile, you may consider using Panels to do so.
Re: Re: Thanks for the reply. I
thanks for the hard work and effort.
I have one question though.
After installing market place, a user creates a product and then its viewable on certain pages ie recent products, user listing etc.
The viewer sees product name, product details, price, quantity, add to cart etc. And when they click the product name they get linked to mysite.com/node/* which then has all the same fields.
On the listing view I would like just the product name with a link to the node/* and the cost. then the link would have all the neccasary details.
Is this possible / What would be the best way of doing this.
Thanks again.
Re: Re: Re: Thanks for the reply. I
You can create a View and tell the system exactly what things from each product you want to return. Ubercart allows you to return just the name of the product (the Node Title) and the Sell Price, if that's all you wanted to show. (And the Title can be a link to the product node itself.)
Re: Re: Re: Re: Thanks for the reply. I
Thanks for the reply, this is really hurting my head now though 
.
Originally I created a list of nodes and then used filter to select only products.
So i would have a list of the products.
Do i put node title in fields or filter, and the same for sell price. Ive tried all sorts of combinations and nothing works, it either doesnt change or maked everything disapper.
