Ubercart Tutorial Part 1 - Install Ubercart

Ubercart is an awesome Drupal shopping cart, and the best part is it's free! In part 1 of this Ubercart tutorial you'll learn how to install and configure a basic Ubercart store, including a catalog and a couple of products. I'll also show you how to include Ubercart image support for products and catalogs.

The modules that you need to download are listed here:

Thanks for the video. Makes for a quick and easy beginning point. When you created the Primary Link for the Catalog link, where did the PATH come from? You said it was /taxonomy/term/1. I'm not sure how this came about? I created the catalog term, but can't figure out the proper PATH. Thanks again.

@gmo2007 You're right, I made this tutorial assuming you hadn't created another taxonomy term yet, but if you had then taxonomy/term/1 won't work. You'll need to find the path to the catalog you've created by visiting yoursite.com/admin/content/tax­onomy. From the list, find your catalog. If you visit the "edit vocabulary" link, and look at the url in the address bar it should be something like: yoursite.com/admin/content/tax­onomy/edit/vocabulary/3. Use the number at the end: taxonomy/term/3

Hey John,

When you install Drupal you need to ensure the web server can write to the file path. In Drupal 6 to find the file path go to the admin menu then Site Configuration > File system. Usually it's /sites/default/files.

Change that folder to either world writeable (777), or writeable by the owner and the web server group (775), which varies based on the operating system you're using.

Haha it looks like maybe this video helped you out! You're welcome. @paweltraczynski Firefly is awesome, I hope that show comes back some day.

Thanks! I know the audio/video quality is terrible, my video quality is slowly getting better as I get the hang of this video production thing. Parts 2 and 3 are available at freelancedrupaldeveloper.ca

Thank you, I was afraid at such a fast pace it would be hard to follow. I am working on part 2 of the series right now and it should be available in a week or two. The new video will be posted on Youtube, and my blog which is linked to in the video description.

@jdixon567 Thanks for the quick response and great help. I'll check out the other videos and web site as well.

My cart product image does not display. Looks like the file path is incorrect. Where do I set this? Is it in Imagecache?

Thanks-in-Advance,

John
