Yo people, just got done prepping a fairly major release of Substruct,
the
first and only open-source RoR e-commerce platform.
http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct/
This release updates Substruct to Rails 2 / Engines 2, replaces
file_column
with attachment_fu, AND is the initial release that will be distributed
in
archive form. (Sorry no PayPal IPN support yet - within the next few
days
hopefully)
From now on, all new people to Substruct are recommended to download the
latest tar/gzipped archive avaliable here:
http://substruct.subimage.com/releases/
New install instructions have been placed on the site:
http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct/wiki/InstallingSubstruct
The new install method is MUCH easier, and includes a rake task that
even
checks if you have the correct gems installed.
I have only tested here on my OS X box, so hopefully things will go
smooth
on Windows as well.
Version 0.97
*** Special thanks to Luke Ludwig for his contribution of this patch!

Added:
- Added nice installer rake task
- Upgrade to Rails 2.0.2 / Engines v2
- Images and uploads switched from using file_column and rmagick to
using attachment_fu and mini_magick.
Upgrade steps:
1. Make sure you have the mini_magick and mime-types gems installed.
a. sudo gem install mini_magick
b. sudo gem install mime-types
* Note: mime-types gem is only needed to upgrade, but is not
needed after the upgrade is complete.
2. Back up your database just in case.
* mysql example: mysqldump -u USERNAME -p DATABASE_NAME >
backup.sql
3. script/generate plugin_migration
4. rake db:migrate
* All of your uploads and images will be copied to a new
location.
Since it is a copy it is non-destructive, leaving the
originals
in their place.
5. Check out the new environment.rb file in the
vendor/plugins/substruct/config directory.
