Kim Maarup Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 We decided in November to change from our present shop-system to Prestatshop. However we did not want to build on the "old platform" as I have experiences from earlier that it always give problems to upgrade to major changed systems. However the final release of 1.5 seems to be delayed (not unexpected.. its a big task) However.. Advice..please: We need to start now. Should we build / use "old" version 1.4.xx ( of course newest release) and upgrade to 1.5 when its ready, or should we use the 1.5 Beta 3 version? We plan to run the web-shop online app. 15 of April. At that time I would assume the final version would be ready. Logically we would use the 1.5 beta, but I read earlier on this forum, that it, in fact, was not as easy to upgrade" ?? What version (1.4xx or 1.5xx) would be brightest and easiest to upgrade to final release? I know this topic has been up before, but, to my knowledge, no answer has been given. B.r.

organizeitmom Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I tested beta 3 of version 1.5 and found major, significant bugs in it. I would suggest starting with 1.4, at least to get familiar with the platform. They have hinted that you will be able to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 in other forum posts, so the upgrade may not be as bad as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yepp, I think it also depends on the features you need? If you do not need all the new fancy stuff you probably should stick with the 1.4.7. I have faith in the new version but from experience even the final version will need certain updates to have the most bugs really fixed. You should definitely not start with one of the beta versions!!! They are far from production ready and upgrade/update would be a pain -- no just say - it is not an option and forget about that.

Guest Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 V1.5 is going to be great. But it is not yet ready for use. When they release Beta V1.6 then you may try V1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
