We have reason to believe that most of the Beta 1 bugs reported have been resolved.

I’m closing this thread now and I’ll soon be opening up a Beta 2 thread for comments. We hope you enjoy.

Hi, looks great so far! A couple of errors that I get:

On the general settings page, in the Target Markets box:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/zconhzud/public_html/store/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-admin/includes/settings-pages/general.php on line 71

AND

On the categories page, in the Target Markets box:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/zconhzud/public_html/store/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-admin/display-groups.page.php on line 18

These errors exist in those boxes before doing anything on those pages.

Thanks for your help!

Will wait for Beta 2.

My point really was just that ‘Video Tutorials!!’ in the post made me think that this was something new for the 3.7 release. I went watching the video hoping to see what I had done wrong with my 3.7 install.

I really do hope to use 3.7 and wp 2.8.

I’m hoping the beta cycle is rapid.

I was hoping to see this feature in the 3.7 beta build but since there was no response I built a simple import script that works with 3.6.12 running Apache 2 & PHP. I’ll post it on my blog in a few days, anyone interested?

Not really. Try the latest nightly development version or wait 12 hours until we release Beta 2. If it doesnt work we suspect that your server permissions need some linux guru loving ;)

Fantastic. We’re pretty excited too – its a bummer Beta 1 had a few remaining issues but it looks like the nightly Development Version (which we’ll be releasing as Beta 2 soon) is much better again. Cheers.

You’re very observant. Now since this is a beta thread do you mind explaining your point :P

This was fixed in last nights development version – we’ll be releasing a beta 2 version tonight.

I purchased the gold cart and the grid view. Wordpress is 2.8 and WP Commerce is 3.7 Beta.

When I try to go and install the WP-Ecommerce like the readme says, first of all the folder they are asking to drop things in “WPSC” is empty. So I created the Upgrade folder, dropped the file in there. I went and validated my API key. When I go to make changes to the site I run into this:

The following directories are not writable:

* /home/half/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/downloadables/
* /home/half/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/previews/
* /home/half/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/
* /home/half/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/thumbnails/
* /home/half/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/category_images/
* /home/half/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/upgrades/

You won’t be able to upload any images or files here. You will need to change the permissions on these directories to make them writable.

This is fine and all, but these files do not even exist on the server, they were never created. I have installed, activated, deactivated, reinstalled, 2 or 3 times now and nothing works.

Anyone have any ideas
