By the way, version 1.9 requires a extended time to compile on the server. At times 15-30 minutes for me. Do the new versions two.X take much less time? Has anyone compared the distinction?


It depends on server resources too, anyway, yes new versions are faster, specially 3.40 has great improvement on application start up time. ,

Regarding topic 3) in Upgrading nopCommerce
3.You have to upgrade stepwise. For example, if your current version is 2.00 and the latest available version is 2.30, then you have to upgrade to 2.10, then to 2.20, and then to 2.30. So download the required upgrade scripts from our Downloads page.
Are there any special instructions when previous version is 1.x?

Regarding the Documentation Page
I would also include something alike the Touble Shooting paragraph of Upgrading nopCommerce with the folowing additions and changes:

If you have any questions, you can always search or post a question on our forums.
If when doing advance search you cannot find what you need, , then try a Google search focused into NopCommerce site:

You can simply run the upgrade script against your database and you will have to upgrade each version one by one like 1.9 -> 2.0, 2.0 -> 2.1 and so on.

In regard to your question / issue:
I believe in 2.0 upgrade folder, there are intructions something like "Read Me" or similar that explains steps for upgrading because that is the crucial step as 2.0 is the first MVC version after webforms

(upgrading from 1.X to 2.X): If you want to upgrade from a version 1.90 to the latest version, you would need to install 2.00 first (over the existing database), run the 1.90 to 2.00 migration SQL script, and then upgrade to 2.10, 2.20, 2.30, etc)


Note: I am hoping you took a back up before the upgrade process, it is always a good practice to take a back before making changes to database.

For more information, please see the upgrade section in the documentation: http://docs.nopcommerce.com/display/nc/Upgrading+nopCommerce

Hi support team,

I got an issue when deploy Nop 3.4 in Arvixe.com hosting. The real error message is "A public action method 'FeaturedArticles' was not found on controller 'Nop.Web.Controllers.ProductController'."

But I am quite sure it is not a correct error message as the public action above was defined in right controller as above. The strange thing is sometime it worked and almost the time it raised the issue.

Also, I tried to comment the line when I use the above action, it raised another issue in another place which didn't make sense too.

Could you please give me any ideas about it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I am trying out / testing  Multi-vendor Support.

It seems that I meet one problem about the mails that is distribuated from the system.

The customer get the mail that tells what is ordered.
My shop get the mail that tells that the customer has ordered in the shop.
However - the vendor do not get the mail that tells about the order and its details.

Do you have any idea of why the vendor do not get the mail?
