Updating old Oscommerce shop

Post by RAC »

Hi all, Its been a while since I have had the time to be able to get my shop back up and running.
I have an old neglected Oscommerce shop that is terminal, I am looking around for alternatives, Phoenix looks like my best option.
What’s happened to GoPro? There doesn’t seem to be any price currently, but some of the addons there could be quite handy.
I see there is a Osc-Phoenix migration utility, does this work for a broken Osc site? Shopping cart not working, emails not working. It would save a lot of time if it worked.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Regards Shaun

We are in the process of changing the PRO offering, it will return shortly.

Your best bet right now, is to simply install the latest Phoenix Version v1.1.0.6 and have a play to see if it is correct for you. Once you are in a way to go ahead, we will probably have the PRO offering back up and running.

1.1.0.6 should take not more than 5 minutes.

How did you get on with installation of the latest version ?

Here is a thread showing how easy(ish) it is to make Phoenix look different to 99% of Phoenix shops (all of which use the default with their own logo, how dull. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2825

Yes I have managed to install the latest version and have had a look at around, it seems fairly familiar, and I have managed to change a few settings using the setup guide.
I have been watching a few of Zipurman's videos, which has helped, I am slowly getting my head around Phoenix, but it will take a while yet!
Thanks for the link, I will have a look at that too, anywhere I can find help will do me.
On the Zipurman's video, I was attempting to get to the "phoenixaddons.com/documentation, but it seems this link is broken, is this permanently down?

Zipurman no longer works with Phoenix as far as I know.
