Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

Quick question....
I attempted to upgrade to Wombat the other day and had a problem with the update.
After speaking with a technician at Miva, I decided (since my store is live) to wait until the "production" release came out. So I canceled the failed install and switched my system back from beta to production.

The interesting part is that I now have in the admin section of my store, a link for "Manage Orders" & "Manage Shipments". The manage orders link appears to work but the manage shipments link does not.

Am I mistaken in thinking that this new feature is a part of Wombat and that I ended up with a partial install, or did it come with a Miva update that I just did not notice?

BC,

Support should be able to tell you. But yes it sounds like you're on Wombat (at least one of the Beta's).

Thanks Rick,

Miva support contacted me yesterday and straightened everything out. My site is fully up to date with Wombat now.

Just getting ready to go through it, but I'm LOVING what I see so far.

Thanks

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

Once we've fully competed a test plan (it's enormous) I'll be able to talk about a final release date. I may only have 3 or 4 days notice between completion and final release.

As of now I expect a complete run of the test plan next Friday the 23rd.

We're anxious to release as well, we're very close.

Any more updates on a final production release date? I still have a couple of previously discussed bugs that will likely be resolved on the final release.

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback
Generally speaking it'll just work, however if you want to add the new features like Order History/Status into your shopping interface you'll have to do those manually.

I was wondering if there were any detailed instructions out yet on how to add these new features.

Thanks

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

There's a bunch of Videos, if you search the forums for Wombat and Videos you should find them. They're not complete but both us and Chuck will be releasing lots of new docs and videos over the next two weeks.

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

Hey Rick,
I spent 2 hours reading 36 pages of post before I posted my question. Unfortunately I did not find what I was looking for. I also copied all the video links I found so I did not have to go nuts looking for them again. If it helps anyone here they are....

Unless there is a specific post in answer to my question that someone could point out, I'll just wait till next week.

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

Which one are you looking for?

[bcannon]

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

I was looking for the "Order Status History".

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

I think we have that somewhere, let me look.

The Order Status / History are more or less added for you. They become new pages in your admin that you can modify and links 2

Re: Wombat Beta - Feedback

Thanks Mark,
I see what you are saying, I have found the pages and will begin playing now.
