Satchmo is a great shopping cart application that uses Python and Django. If you are looking for this kind of application it worth a look.
One of the best point of Satchmo is how easy and beautiful is to customize your application. You can create customized product model without touch the base Satchmo models. It’s a great feature, that make easy to apply future Satchmo updates.
You can learn how to create a custom product in JuanjoAlvarez Blog.
I followed the instructions but get the error:
Wed, 12 Aug 2009 11:57:17 configuration DEBUG SettingNotSet: PRODUCT.PRODUCT_TYPES
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 27, in
execute_manager(settings)
.
.
.
.
raise SettingNotSet('%s config group does not exist' % group)
livesettings.models.SettingNotSet
SOLUTION: After apply a grep in the Satchmo code for “PRODUCT_TYPES” I figured out my mistake: My package was named product: the same name of the Satchmo product application. So it was overriding the framework application.
Thank god Satchmo is a Open Source project!
