Guest Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Spend some time looking around this site too. There's more than just this forum. :wink: http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads/snapshot Ok, I d/l it and it kinda looks like the folders that I already have. Is this the newest program....2.2? Next question, how to I open the files.....told ya I am a newbie at this! I was playing around before and used my FTP and placed the files on the server side (right side of program) and from there I was able to view a few files. But after that, don't know how to set it up. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I would suggest reading http://guide.oscdox.com from start to finish first. It takes some time to get comfortable with the way things are set up. Have fun! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 So snapshot is the newest program....is that the 2.2 program that you spoke of earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeCarAudio Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I would recommend waiting until the finsh the cleanup of the code, and offically realse the 2.2MS1 before starting a new site Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 The code is fine Dawn. Just download it and go for it. I've been using OSC since 1.0 and the CVS is more stable now than it's ever been. No need to wait. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 What does CVS mean..... I am slowly reading that link you sent...thanks Mike, what version are you using and do you use Dreamweaver with this code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeCarAudio Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 What does CVS mean.....I am slowly reading that link you sent...thanks Mike, what version are you using and do you use Dreamweaver with this code? 2.2 Ians Load4 with a few other mods and yes I use Dreamweaver I am waiting on MS1 and then I am starting all over from the Ground up, with some Major addions this time The code is fine Dawn. Just download it and go for it. I've been using OSC since 1.0 and the CVS is more stable now than it's ever been. No need to wait. :wink: Right the Code is Fine, but MS1 will eb better, and Cleaner..... and I did not know there was OSC1.0. I thought it is TEP then, hmmm :P Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 No need to wait for anything if you simply do daily CVS additions like I do. My site is always 100% current. Nothing to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 2.2 Ians Load4 with a few other mods What is Ians Load4....and mods? I am waiting on MS1 and then I am starting all over from the Ground up, with some Major addions this time When is this MS1 coming out...and what does MS1 mean? and I did not know there was OSC1.0. I thought it is TEP then, hmmm :P OSC1.0....thought the version was now 2.2? TEP...what does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily CVS.....that doesn't sound simple to me, sounds like a chore. All I am looking for is a working shopping cart. Why do I have to daily CVS?

rseigel Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 The Exchange Project. That's what it was before it was renamed to osCommerce. I've tried Ian's loaded snapshot but to be honest it's a bit much for what I wanted. Too much fluff. Better to start from scratch and add what you want IMHO. MS1 = Milestone 1 but be warned - it's been coming for a very lonnnnnng time now. You could very well waste a lot of time here waiting for significant events that take a year or more to materialize. Better to just jump on in IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeCarAudio Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 2.2 Ians Load4 with a few other mods What is Ians Load4....and mods?

I thought it is TEP then, hmmm :P OSC1.0....thought the version was now 2.2? TEP...what does that mean? ian is a member here that took a snapshot from NOV and Preinstalled alot of Contributions... TEP, and "the exchange project" that is what this project use to be called 2.2 is the current one MS1 is Mile Stone Realese 1 , is the the new develoment realse structure and it was suppose to be out a week ago, so any time now As far as doing daily CVS updates that can be very Bad for a Stablity fo a Live store depending on what the changes effect, and the number of modifactions have you done to the core, I have modfied my alot, and some contributions may or may not fuction right with all CVS snap shots...

Guest Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 The Exchange Project. That's what it was before it was renamed to osCommerce. I know that it used to be the Exchange Project and now osCommerce...but what question you were answering for this reply? I've tried Ian's loaded snapshot but to be honest it's a bit much for what I wanted. Too much fluff. Better to start from scratch and add what you want IMHO. Ok...you sent me to a set to s/l snapshot....is this the 2.2 version. Thought you said that is what you use? Is snapshot different from 2.2?

rseigel Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Every day a new snapshot is automatically created from the most current CVS files. If there are changes that day then the daily snapshot is differeny too to replect those changes. Short answer - yes 2.2 and snapshot are the same. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to d/l and u/l these files ever day or is it auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 http://www.oscommerce.com/community/cvs Concurrent Versioning System (I think). Basically it's a way for every single change to every single file to be documented and allows many people to work on it at the same time. Nothing automatic about it. I do it the hardcore way though. Most don't keep up with every single change and it's not necessary to us it. Just get the latest and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like once a week I can do this and not mess up my coding? that depends on how much modifaction to the code you do in all reality if YOU are satified with the performace once your up and running you really dont need to update, Updating all the tiem IMO is more harmful, as any "new" bugs created by the Developers you will inherantly get, if you of the developers makes a mistake in the commit, and you update it that day it could being down your whole site... Do like I am going to do, What until a alot changes, like a new MS release to update track the Development here http://www.oscommerce.com/community/workboard Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeCarAudio Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 well that makes alot of sense tooooo. How do I start using this program in DreamweaverMX? Well you can not really use it with Dreamweaver like you would some the the Dreamweaver plugin carts..... Dreamweaver is good for Editing the CSS sheets and it is a Pretty good Text Editor, but you still have to hand code most of it for any Changes you need to make to install it to the web server it comes with a install script Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
