It was never easier to install EasyShop

Now you can install EasyShop as easy as every other package:

Just add easyshop.core to your buildout

eggs =    
    easyshop.core
zcml =
    easyshop.core

(Re-)run your buildout
Go to Plone's "Site Setup" -> "Add-on Products" and install EasyShop
Now you can add a new content type called EasyShop

... And that's it. See cheese shop for more information.

Please note that EasyShop is still alpha though.

Functional problems

Posted by Martin Weigele Jan 07, 2009 12:43 PM

After some opportunity to test easyshop, there are a number of basic
errors such as new customer is not listed in the list of customers.

My feeling from the guts is that this may still be due to hidden installation
problems related to the STANDARD buildout mechanism (and not an easyshop problem).
However, it is regrettable that it is thus not really possible to test/use easyshop
unless you are willing to dive into the internals of the current, apparently
bogus(?) buildout mechanism.

installation problems solved

It seems that the current (Plone-3.1.7) bin/buildout called via sudo tries to install .python-eggs in the home directory of the calling user (and not that of user plone resp. root). Workaround: Either specify an alternative directory for .python-eggs or change owner of .python-eggs to 'plone'.

EasyShop breaks site

Posted by Jeroen Nov 25, 2008 01:57 PM

When I do a buildout for easyshop and a test run with ./bin/zopectl fg everything works. But when I do ./bin/zopectl start, the site breaks.

cheeseshop version

Posted by Martin Weigele Nov 18, 2008 06:01 PM

Hi, currently the cheeseshop version seems to be broken. When configuring buildout.cfg as
instructed, it breaks the entire Plone, even with a virginal installation.

Kind regards
Martin

It works beautifully. There was a problem downloading Varnish, though. Its repository was unreachable so buildout timed out. I understand that's not your problem and I'm sure their server will be online shortly. In the meantime, I copied a Varnish tarball that I had downloaded previously into the downloads directory of my Plone instance, ran buildout again and Easyshop installed flawlessly. Congratulations on making such a great product.

Best Wishes,
