Separate module install doesn't create custom fields [5.2.1-RC1]
Separate module install doesn't create custom fields [5.2.1-RC1]
In-Portal modules can either be installed together with initial In-Portal setup or separately. Typical separate module install process looks like this:
- login as "root" to Admin Console
- go to "Configuration > Website > Modules" section
- click on "Ready to Install" link next to desired module in the list
- module gets installed (yeah, I know that no visual indication of that to end user)
- redirect to Catalog happens
- category cache rebuild progress bar shows
Recently I was installing In-Commerce module on existing project and I got 4h step I saw blank screen (something crashed I guess, but In-Commerce seems to be installed). It turned out later on that not all went as planned and custom fields were not created/populated. The In-Commerce has 3 set of custom fields:
Custom Fields Type | Purpose |
---|---|
for the user | to specify custom shipping on per-user basis |
for the category | to specify product detail template of Products category |
for the product | to specify Features and Availability |
Without custom fields I've started to get Fatal Error right after I've created first product in catalog.
P.S.
I was using Firefox to install In-Commerce. Seems that same operation in Google Chrome works just fine.
