When will it be safe to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x ?

I am currently running a working CS Cart site on v1.3.5 (have been using CS Cart for 3 years) and really want to upgrade to v2.x but every time I try, I find too many bugs and problems, even a basic thing not working - including in the latest 2.0.11. It also worries me about all the items in bug tracker.



I presume other users have moved to v2 but how have you dealt with the bugs, or are you holding off ?



Thanks, Paul.

No direct answer, many people many problems, also many people NO problems and everything in between!



I upgraded and had no problems until the DREADED 2.0.9 which killed me. Only way I got back on line was help from an expert who was feeling extremely generous and just helped me out! I owe him big style.



Only advise I can offer is BACK it up copy it get host to do FULL back up and if all else fails you can go back!

I see no problems with upgrading. I have upgraded many stores for clients and after the learning curve there are no problems.

I have had no problems upgrading. I did go from 2.08-to 2.011 at one time. Could not go directly. I used the automatic upgrade with no problems.

I probably did not have problems because I have very little customization and did not set up user groups/memberships, which seemed to be a problem.

I plan on testing future upgrades, after I do more customization on a local desktop and I have another separate license for QA testing.

Hopefully, cs-cart learned from the 2.09 upgrade problems.

Eventually, you should upgrade to the latest 2.0 version.

I would love to upgrade but even a non-customised problem appears on my home page, which is how it calculates discounts (it shows the difference between the original price without tax, and the new price with tax). This is so basic and works on v1 okay and if this still isn’t fixed on v2.0.11 it really worries me.

I’m wondering how long it will be before version 2 is considered relatively “stable” and there won’t be upgrades issued every few weeks.



Having had a play around with version 2.0, I would like to upgrade but would prefer to sit back and wait for the bugs to be ironed out, although it does seem as though with the latest version there don’t seem to be so many problems.

I am in the middle of upgrading from 135sp4 to 2.08 and so far have installed 2.08 into a dir on server and have done all the DB upgrades. I change the skin to my store on the new 2.08 through admin panel and that’s okay but my logo’s are gone and all the pics in my site point to the old images folder in the root folder and that’s also where my customer logo’s are… I am afraid to finish the upgrade because it will overwrite this folder won’t it? Do I have to copy the images folder into the new dir 2.08 dir?? Or should my images already be within the new folders?



I stuffed up an upgrade last year and don’t want to do it again if I can help it…



Cheers,

Alan
