i have installed e-commerce carefully into drupal 6.6 and cannot see or bring up any shipping stuff whatsoever - no shipping methods, nothing in product creation to enter weight, size, etc...

i'm pretty sure i installed everything needed in the correct order, no red print anywhere in the module list - spent a couple hours testing and looking and researching, but nothing solved it. is there something in views i have to tweak? do i have to install cck?

i'm at my wits end on this one....

In this version there is going to be no shipping module but instead it is going to be handled by the ec_charges module which I am still working on.

If you take a look at http://groups.drupal.org/node/17110 which explains a lot of the reasons why I am doing a lot of this, but basically it is to make things a lot more modular and easier to maintain the core, but also allow other people to contribute without having to make changes to core.

I am still working on this as it is a very conplex system which will replace just about every method of miscellanous charging such as shipping, tax, handling and other things like discounts.

Title: no shipping fields configs or anything... » create products - shipping weight and dimensions
Component: shipping » product
Category: feature » support

Thank you gordon for your fine work ;) - this explains a lot, but i have a couple of questions still -

1) is missing ec_charge the reason i don't see any fields except description and price on create product page? Is there a way to create those fields that will continue to work when ec_charge is finished? do you have a tentative date for beta?

2) what would be the best way to create multiple products from a .csv file or equivalent?

thanks very much, and i hope that after the holidays i will have a chance to help with the project, i'd like to contribute some documentation at least.

more work needs to be done on this, maybe in 7.x or sooner if I have a need for it.
