nopCommerce 3.90 BETA released. Please share your impressions

Honestly I'm wondering about the forum etiquette and the majority of comments in this post. As nC shop operator I consider to upgrade, yes, and for first time I go through this, but I expected the primary objective and motivation is to get insights from test and give/share valuable qualified feedback after all to make nopcommerce even better.

"As Andrei is frankly asking for:
We'd love if developers could get involved with testing to find any issues which will need fixing before the final release. Please share your thought after testing  in this forum topic. Thank you!"

Question: Is this announcement for share or collecting compliments or to congratulate the nC Team?
I think if you like what you see, use the right corner vote arrow "This post/answer is not useful".

Somehow I've the impression some posts here are short "compliment" and mainly to place "signature advertisement, ...want to version upgrade...."

The most valuable contribution is to critically test and share feedback, instead of quick thanks and signature adverts.

I've work in e-com biz for many years now, setting up biz infrastructure with various shop systems (with Shopware, Oxid, Magento). Compared to other forums, nC forum has room for improvement (forum guideline). I really wish, beside great efforts for new releases, the community behavior, support, assistance and interaction could be improved. At the end all nC users benefit from this and potential new users participate and decide for nC.

Anyhow, looking forward to new nC features and version, thanks!

Kind Regards,
Stephan

Hi Guys

I am getting an exception when selecting a manufacturer from the Manufacturer Navigation.

Line 380:        {
Line 381:            if (category == null)
Line 382:                throw new ArgumentNullException("category");
Line 383:
Line 384:            var model = new CategoryModel

Source File: H:\TFS\Default390\Presentation\Nop.Web\Factories\CatalogModelFactory.cs Line: 382

Not sure if this is an issue from the installation.

Hi Ron,

Please provide a complete error stack. What exactly manufacturer page do you open?

Hi Andrei

Sorry it was a bit late last night whilst i was working, I have downloaded and updated with the latest solution this morning, and that seems to have corrected the issue.

But I'll keep my eye on it in case it does it again.

As I am currenty implementing a new Discount model in nopFinance, I will take a close look at the nopCommerce 3.90 discount mechanism and model and borrow bits and pieces after analysis. One thing that comes to mind is why not compile Discount rules at runtime using a c# expression tree.

I took a look at the TierPrices: We have a lot of customer with individual tier price agreements with their customers. In nopFinance we made this possible be linking TierPrices not only to CustomerRoles but also to Customers. A TierPriceList is an associationclass of the association product-customer.

Product ---- Customer
         ()
    TierPriceList
          ^
          v
          |
          |*
       TierPrice

Property Discount.AppliedToSubCategories can be simplified by adding a new DiscountType  AssignedToCategoriesAndSubCategories = 15
