Re: Drupal 7
I'm interested in this too. Have some nagging problems with 6.x and the only thing keeping me from 7.x is Ubercart.
Ubercart
nimicohgr from your response I am guessing that Ubercart won't work on 7. I uploaded it to 7 and it worked fine but there aren't any instructions for 7 what is your experience?
how did you install ubercart in drupal 7
I've tried to install ubercart on my drupal 7 site and kept getting problems after installing everything (all of the modules including ubercart)
It says you need the following modules for ubercart to work in drupal 7
Drupal 7
Rules (7.x-2.0-alpha5 or later)
Views
Ctools
Entity API
Entity tokens
and Recommended Modules-
Colorbox
Google Analytics
I installed an enabled everything... guessing that's what caused my site to pull up errors and eventually not let me back into my drupal site.
So I just did a fresh install of drupal 7 and am eagerly awaiting your response to guide me through on which specific modules to enable after installing all of which I just posted. PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW, Thank you ahead of time.
Re: Drupal 7
I'm off the same boat. Not sure if i should stick to 6 for a couple new sites or 7. I do only need to run a catalogue and not a cart but there are still too many modules that are alpha for D7. I just don't want to have to rebuild the clients sites in two years once D6 is not supported any more and spend time keeping an eye all the time on all module upgrades/security fixes for D7 and D7 modules.
Drupal 7
I am not a web designer I only build my own sites so I don't want to learn 6 and then have to learn 7 or convert for that matter. So I am going to stick with 7 and wait for the new modules to come out. My sites are up and running I used dreamweaver to build them but after reading about Durpal I need to start making the change. I guess it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish, what your skills are, and how much time you have to decide which Drupal to use.
Re: Drupal 7
Ubercart seems to be progressing significantly faster than Drupal Commerce.
Depending on your needs its basically functional. I have a working implementation using paypal as payment gateway.
Biggest areas that need fixing are the order administration section (currently can't edit or create orders), and the html invoice generation (though this looks like a relatively simple fix).
Re: Drupal 7
Just my two cents worth.. totally new to drupal, ubercart and ecommerce sets up in general and am astounded by how easy its is... I've just installed drupal 7, ubercart as at March and a few other modules and it rocks! My site is functional if unstyled within two days of pottering around...

Re: i try to use drupal 7 and ubercart
@makfor49: Your installation is seriously messed up. You should wipe it clean and start over.
"Ubercart" is a collection of modules which includes uc_cart and uc_attribute. You cannot download Ubercart without getting those two modules - they are part of the download - and you cannot install Ubercart without those modules present.
Recurring Payments API and Recurring Product Fees are not part of Ubercart, and Ubercart does not try to use them, so you clearly have some modules other than Ubercart on your server that you're trying to use.
You don't say what the error is and where you see it, so it's hard to know what you think the problem is. The text starting with "Requires:" that you quote shows up to every module at admin/build/modules and lists the requirements for each particular module. You don't say which module is complaining that uc_cart is missing.
Perhaps you have some Drupal 6.x contributed modules that you've downloaded on a Drupal 7.x site? And make sure you only have one version of Ubercart on your disk - you can't keep multiple versions around and just "use" one - Drupal will find all the modules you have downloaded and if you have mixed multiple versions Drupal will be confused.
Re: Re: i try to use drupal 7 and ubercart
Is Drupal Commerce even stable enough to start working with? I've been working on my project which is powered by UC. Switching seems very bothersome.
It would be great if there was a path that could allow UC sites to convert to DC and vice versa.
I would give this a huge NOOOOOOOOO!
I just waisted a month of time trying to create a new site with Drupal Commerce and almost lost my client (who I do numerous projects for) in the interum. I finally worked up to having it nearly complete only to find out that Shipping was not given any serious consideration and that as of just a few days ago there was NO workable/stable solution to shipping. WITHOUT SHIPPING an ecommerce site is useless... you have to charge a customer for shipping, no? If you wanted only FLAT RATE there was a pretty bare bones implementation of that that barely worked until there was an update of Drupal Commerce to beta 4... then all hell broke lose on what minimum functionally existed in the so-called "shipping api"...
So I've been workint 16 hour days for the past few days in a frantic attempt to set up the site from scratch using UberCart and I have to say, I am happy I did... Drupal Commerce, while good in theory and on paper, is FAR FROM ready to be used now... and with the last beta 4 release (a decidely uncoordinated effort requiring all updated DEV versions of views, rules, etc.. and a special patch applied to Rules to get it to even work)... and the onslaught of bugs introduced because of htis rushed-out-the-door update (as much as I respect and admire the developers of Drupal Commerce, it was a far bigger blunder than anything Microsoft has done in thier long tarnished history of buggy releases and patches)...
Most of the 'in development' and 'not-quite-ready-for-prime-time' add-on modules for Drupal Commerce ... come standard in UberCart out of the box... and while I agree Ubercart has a lot of lacking features (ie; attributes on products suck! to create a 'country' drop down as an option/attribute, you need to manually create upwards of 260 or whatever countries as Options"... time consuming and unneccessary but what can I do?... but even with the lack-luster parts of UberCart, at least it IS ABLE TO WORK NOW as a eCommerce Solution... Drupal Commerce is not... and mostly for the entire oversight/lack of a decent Shipping Module and Shipping Quotes...If you can get by on flat-rate (which only a limited amount of sites I can think of coulld)... then maybe Drupal Commerce is worth the dive-in now... and if you don't mind not having a lot of the 'nice' features already in ubercart that require add-on modules in commerce (some started, some have not)... then again maybe Drupal Commerce is worth a look..
HOWEVER!!!!! If you need a WORKING eCommerce solution that is stable (or at least even mostly stable) within a month or two, then UberCart seems the only realistic way to go.
Maybe in half a year I'l revisit Drupal Commerce and see how time consuming it will be to export from UberCart to Commmerce and try to upgrade then.. but for now... its been a month of mistakes, waisted time, lost hair, stress, etc.... trying to get a workable solution out of Drupal Commerce... They should be more clear in their promoting of it that it is NO WHERE READY for prime time... that they should be looking ONLY for beta testers who are not trying to do something 'real world' now with it. I bought into the whole hype of "Its the future of Commerce on Drupal and ready now" and wish I had been wiser when I decided to give it a shot.. Time is money and time waisted time is money lost... figure that out over a month of LONG days 7 days a week... I've been kicking msyelf since day one of installing Commerce.
Drupal 7.2 with UberCart 7.x-3.x-dev
I'm using Drupal 7.2 with UberCart 7.x-3.x-dev and the only things I am having problems with are
(1) Checkout page -> the ajax they incorporated is painfully slow and throws inconsistent errors from time to time... Try to pick a previously used Shipping Address and you wait 20 seconds for it to populate.. click "billing is the same as shipping" and wait another 20 seconds for it to populate.... and shipping quotes takes 20 seconds to come back... and there is no way tot shut off the AJAX on the checkout form that i can find... I like the IDEA of it, but it is sooooooo blatantly slow.. and also if you tab out of the shipping "zipcode" textbox and try to check the "billing is the same as shipping" before it has finally pulled back the shipping results, you get ugly errors and shiping does not continue.
(2) when using PayPal WPP (with credit cards) I am stuck in this freakin loop that I have yet to figure out/fix... you fill out all your information on the checkout page.. click to go to review page.. click submit order.. and after 20 to 30 seconds you are redirected back to the checkout page with all your information stil populated.. go back to review order page, submit.. and back to checkout page.. its so frustrating and annoying... its why I'm on here now looking over posts to see if I can find a fix for this.
Also there is a but in the CVV and Credit Card Owner integration of the latest dev that it doesn't post properly from the checkout page to review page.. it thows errors that those fields cannot be read and on the review page, they are shown 'blank'.. but i just turned them off for now to get past that...
Other than that I was able to set up a decent functional eCommerce site with customizable books... thats nearly ready for launch... in only about 4 days work.. unlike Commerce where I worked for MORE than a month only to find out there is no shipping solution even close to roll-out... which blew a whole months worth of work and almost cost me a client ...
Paypal loop bug
I'm having this problem too. Not sure why customers can't proceed and finalize the order. Any solutions??? Paypal is the only gateway I can use right now. Therefore, no orders are able to be processed.

Re: Drupal 7
For what it's worth, I have built a smallish Drupal 7 site with Ubercart (with a few custom modules to handle custom checkout panes, custom payment gateway) and it was really simple (I have done a few big Drupal 6 ubercart sites).
Porting code from D6 to D7 was very easy too. My main irritation is perhaps that some smaller contrib modules are often abandoned and my patches are waiting in the issue queue.

Any help out there?
I'm mostly a noob, but I've got a site set up in Drupal 7, and I've got Ubercart installed, but I can't figure out how to even create a product. I can't seem to find any documentation for it either-- can anybody point me in the direction of a tutorial? Thanks in advance.
Custom Invoice Templates
Ive got ubercart & D7 installed, all is working fine, except I can't get my custom invoice template working. Ive followed this thread http://www.ubercart.org/docs/developer/17385/changing_invoice_templates_...
Created my custom module, templates show up when editing rules, select my custom template, but it never gets used.
Has anyone had any success with custom templates in D7?
We've built a Drupal 7
We've built a Drupal 7 ubercart website.
To use custom templates we modified the template in the ubercart module.
Our Ubercart Drupal 7 shopping cart
I've built the Drupal 7 Ubercart shopping cart site to charge our clients for our real estate Drupal solution. I've needed to migrate the Moneybookers payment method module to Drupal 7 from Drupal 6. Took me a few hours, but its relatively easy. If anyone should want it, let me know. Its not yet well tested though.
I'm missing the terms & conditions module, I'll have to figure that out somehow. I should also implement sending custom invoices for our clients.
Re: Drupal 7
I used to use Ubercart 2.x for Drupal 6 for few e-commerce websites. Recently I decided to give Ubercart 3/Drupal 7 a shot, but I am getting lots of errors. When I check "Billing is as same as shipping address" I get the following error:
"An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."
Also, the Credit Card module doesn't seem to work. Is it safe using it on a production site? By the way I am running D7.9, the latest version as of today.
Thanks,
Also having checkout loop problems
When in HTTPS mode, the final submit button kicks me back to the checkout page with my info populated. In HTTP mode, orders submit fine.
Combing google, drupal.org, and drupal.stackexchange... as well as this forum, but can't find a solution..
