Magento

I would like to post the 1st message on forum but somehow my register info didn’t activate. Anyway ... Congratulate on the beta release! thanks for the hard work

Nothing like a fresh slap in the morning from the big magenta cube. Thanks for all the late and sleepless nights. Thank God for coffee! :D

Partay!

Thank you for your great work guys!

Thank you Magento team from France

Jippeee!! Now a new Generation of eCommerce starts!

TYVM for ur work!

Daniel

YEAH! <3 <3 <3

You guys are going to sleep when the party just started? 

I completely understand. Thanks for the all-nighters up to this point, It’s now in the communities hands. Great work guys and gals, now lets really crack into Magento’s potential!

Hey.. That rhymed.  Go Go Magento!

Thanks Roy and ALL!

Well done Guys. A well deserved rest for you this weekend I hope.

Thanks, the fun begins now.

Take out edit links on checkout bars for sections you haven’t reached yet in the checkout process.  They don’t work anyway.  Don’t put them in until there is something to edit.

After getting to last step in checkout, I went back to store and added another item to the cart.  I had to click continue through each checkout section to reach the end again (though each field was still filled).  I think when I go back to checkout after having filled everything out it should put me at the last step, not have to click through 5 continues.

Looking good. Keep up the good work!

This version is 58.7 MB. I reallt wonder why is this so big:)

Great work and congratulations.
already a very good proof of a professional time management. not one day late!
make me look into a bright future of this new piece of ecommerce software.

@andy
i think the forum is the right place for the bugs.

Some special thanks from Germany!

Perfect timemangament, respect.

Congrats, guys! It really rocks!

It’s 3 am here & I’m still working on another site .. Guess I’m gonna have to wait till this arvo to play!

Will you add a WysiWyg editor in the admin ?

Burak, it is because of the fancy graphics included with the store items.

Didier, this may be in the works. I noticed a directory called Tiny MCE which is a WYSIWYG editor. 

: )

Sweet news! Have been waiting for seems like forever for this day. BTW, the link in this post anchored with “We’d love to hear about it” doesn’t appear to be working.

Should be /contact-us/ I believe.

>This version is 58.7 MB. I reallt wonder why is this so big:)

Its because of silliness of zend framework. Its just to huge to be practical. I actually suggested Bil to release a light version that addresses the most basic parts and let other functionality be pluggable.. but no! they are too arrogant to listen.

I am not going to download 58M for an shopping cart ~

I Can’t wait to test in on my own server i’ve aready got it uploaded.

^ with that said, that I wouldn’t download 58M for a shopping cart, the truth is I did download coz I just couldn’t resist magento. Although, I hope that it trim down to around 15M some day. Anyway! kudos to Varian, its time for celebration. Cheers!

Well looking at it right now, really a great job. Usability looks great and everything is neat… Hope to be back for me deep inside testing

Thanks for this great work !

P.S. : The size of the download doesn’t matter really, it’s not just a shopping cart !

Zuhair: “Its because of silliness of zend framework. Its just to huge to be practical.”

The Zend Framework is ~10MB (and 5MB of it is .xml language files) . Don’t be ridiculous.  The reason this version is 58.7MB is because of the .svn directories and all of the high resolution images for the demo store (heard of SVN->Export?)

Get over yourself.

[/rant]

And besides, Zend Framework allows you to only use the components that you need.  It is not like the whole library is loaded on every page request.

So seeing that most people are thinking “WTF” when they see the +50MB download I went ahead and did a SVN->Export and made a new .zip and .tar.gz for those of you that want it.  MUCH smaller now! Please give us versions like this Varien. Those of us that want to use SVN can check it out. Thanks

.zip file (6.4MB): http://outpostenterprises.com/magento/magento-0.6.zip

.tar.gz (3.8MB): http://outpostenterprises.com/magento/magento-0.6.tar.gz

This is a happy day. Thanks guys.

Come on guys. 58MB is like.. 10 MP3-songs. This is going to be the BEST ecommerce webshop-system EVER, so stop complaining..

Absolutly agree with you FrenchToast...

“How to reduce the Magento 0.6 archive size...”

Compact all the folder /magento with winrar .

The archive include 12650 folders (60Mo) !

Deleted all .svn folders (11127 folders only used by Subversion). All subfolders and files are deleted (.prop-base, .props , ...).

And deleted 8 Thumbs.db files (only used by xp)

Now you have reduced to 1485 folders (11135 folders deleted ! The archive file size is “only” 48,5Mo !
It’s also possible to divide in 2 parts : magento.rar 6Mo and media.rar 42Mo.

It’s possible to replace mysql4-install-0.6.0.php + 5 upgrade files (3 Mo) with a single version mysql4-install-0.6.5.sql ?

Wow guys… I am just itching BAD to replace the sites I currently run (x-cart, litecommerce, yahoo and some hacky paypal carts) with this.  It’s just simply beautiful… I have some poking around to do for sure.  There are some requests I’ll have, but if I’m able to add functionality myself, this thing will just rock (well, it’ll rock anyways).

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Wow, this is no where near ready. You can’t even add an order from the control panel. How do you edit your site layout? Looks like all of the customer support is going to take you down, because as they say, you get what you pay for. This is free, and i’d NEVER use it on a live site.

Don’t Hate on Magento.
It just came out today, It is still in Beta
& right now all we’re doing is Beta testing

& to change the design you go to:
Catalog >> Configuration >> Design

For Magento Bugs why don’t you (varien) use something like ‘trac’?
Here’s a link: http://trac.edgewall.org/

>Steven Lee

Its not production ready yet and varien has made that clear with a disclaimer in the release notes.

Your comments about free software are out of your ignorance, Linux is free and it is the best software EVER produced.

You don’t deserve magento you should probably be given a half encrypted fully retarded system like most of the systems out there.

Congratulations on the launch, Roy - I’ve mentioned it on the Digital Web blog, and I’m looking forward to having a dig through the source code later!

The requested URL /magento/install/ was not found on this server.

Hey congratulations to tour team,
thank you for the brilliant timing

greetings from germany.

Great work. Thanks you

Congadulation Magento team,
Good Luck!!!

Why Magento uses Zend Framework 1.0.0, when the latest version is 1.0.1?

Awesome, congratulations! And a HUGE thank you. :o)

I know this is a beta, but pr-wise it is not smart to make the download so big. It just does not make a good first impression.

By the way, I absolutely love Magento!

What do you think, when will it be production ready?

Site looks great guys, you really thought of everything.

Congratulation Magento. Great work and time management. The future of eCommerce can begin We want Magento connect to our ERP System.

Is there something wrong with the demo page?
http://www.magentocommerce.com/demo

It shows just text links and the rest is blank.

registration doesn’t work I can’t got confirmation email

We just recently had our site done by a web development company - they did a great job .  Maybe we could switch at a later stage. We sell tassen (bags).
