When will Prestashop 1.7 be (really) stable ?

[Anthony IVOL]

MODERATORS, PLEASE DON'T DELETE THE TOPIC THIS TIME.

 

Well Prestashop 1.7 is like Prestashop 0.0.0.beta.0.1.beta.

 

This is a list of issues I've met, feel free to complete it :

 

- Admin login redirect to login page althougth I am login.

- User login issue with hash comparaison, actually if you compare Md5 hash with bcrypt hash that can't work. Seriously.

- Issue on Module Translation.

- Issue on Theme translation, (a new one) don't know if there is a characters number limit or if it's related to special latin char like (à, ?, é,... ) ?!

- BO unusable on chrome ( well it's just 75% of users... ), I feel like I am in IE7... when it works...

- Issue on saving product with more than 800 char in the short description, although a message say "Sucessfully saved" BUT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT.

- Issue on changing commands state.

- Issue with price range when setting up shipping.

...

 

I think I've spent half of my working time doing Prestashop dev job, debbuging. Had you (Prestashop dev) at least debug it one time ?

 

I assume that Prestashop is a free tool, thanks for that, but please, don't release that as a STABLE version, seriously. You make people wasting their time. And it's precious.

In advance I want to clarify that I am not a fan of Prestashop 1.7. In the contrary is the case.

 

A) If I answer only to your topic title: Well, who knows what happens tomorrow ?

 

B ) My answers to your post:

 

Your shop is an upgrade or a new install ?

 

1) cannot follow what you mean. There is no problem to login as admin or user.

2) hash has not changed. If you used before other encryption than Rijndael, although since Prestashop version 1.5 is recommended to use Rijndael, than of course you will face with encryption problems on your database.

3) and 4) which issues with translation are you facing ? Cannot follow. I'm not having any issue.

For all the other problems you are facing: Your shop is an upgrade or a new install ? If your shop is an upgrade there were some changes on code made or overrides were in use. In this case and this is not only for upgrades from older versions to latest, you need before upgrade deinstall non-native themes and also activate "disable overrides and all non-native modules", for to don't face strange behavior after upgrade. Only after these steps before, it is really secure to make a bigger version upgrade. But this suggestion you can read in the forum several times and this practice is suggested for all versions Prestashop up to 1.5.

Thanks for your reply, my shop is a fresh 1.7.x install, the issues I've mentioned are related from 1.7.x to 1.7.1.

 

Each time I did an upgrade from 1.7.x to 1.7.(x+1) some issues were resolved as new ones appear. I have no module (exept the payment one) that is not native, and mines are based on these natives modules, with no admin setup page, and no database need. No override. My own theme, made with 1.7.x...

 

I didn't ask for resolving these issues, I ask for "please save people times" and "please don't release something as STABLE when IT IS NOT", after a fresh install you need only 30min to find an issue, then 30min later a new one,... I mean, did they really test it ? 

 

The last issue I've found is when I access the translation page with Chrome, last version, I get "this page is not already available for mobile please use a desktop browser" ?? no debugger open, I am on my laptop,... I don't even know how this could be possible, and it's not the only one, there are many displaying problems, it could be ok if it was on Opera or something, but as FO developper I always check everything on Chrome "C'EST LA BASE".

 

I began programming with Prestashop 1.4, that was ok. I use many CMS and Framework, and I'm sorry but Prestashop 1.7 is still a BETA. I waste a lot of time and I will continue wasting my time as I trusted the Prestashop team, and use this 1.7 in production. 

Prestashop team should hurry to finally release a REAL STABLE version otherwise they will lose many users.

 

Finally I am ok for a fight and/or for helping these guys for FO developpement.

Some pages are not responsive, therefore you cannot access them. This is a bug of latest version I figured this out today. I only tested the main (blue links) before I tested navigation menu today. And yes I have the same problem.

 

For your other problems, I cannot figured it out, cause I'm not using mobile devices for to manage Prestashop. For me this does not make any sense at all. Only main features, but not the whole admin. Features like orders and new customers, this make sense for me, other options not really, due to the small screen and need to never ending scroll down for to see details.

 

I'm with you that Prestashop 1.7. is not yet for to use it in productive shops. Moreover several needed features were removed from this version. See also other topics here:

I am not using mobile device for managing the shop, that's why this is an absurd issue, and I agree that it does not make any sense, there are a lot a stuff to optimize before that.

 

Anyway, thanks for your replies and the bugtracker link.

Hi Anthony

 

I apologize for hiding your previous topic, I should just hide that second post you made.

As that was for me bit disrespectful to developers. What ever you do think on them try to be polite.

 

And as for new version, yes it does look more to beta then stable. But it is important to give feedback on forge.

Because there it goes straight to developers. For example I had 2 issues, one was marked as critical and solved next day.

Other is small issue not addressed yet. Also do search of existing issues there as ticked may be submitted and solved for

incoming versions.

 

I apologize again for hiding topic.

Well, not all bugs are treated immediately. For the time being I still don't suggest to use Prestashop 1.7. in production. From the version 1.7.1.0 there was no problem for to upgrade with 1-click. For the lower versions I cannot say, cause I was using developer versions, which are not upgradeable. You need to install the latest version new.

 

On this topic there was in use non-native addons: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/598997-error-upgrading-doctrine-schema/

 

For each upgrade, specially bigger versions there is wise to deinstall all non-native themes and modules before you try to upgrade. As for PS 1.7. there are only a few non-native addons/themes available, we do not know their behaviour during upgrade process. Best is to deinstall before. Specially Leo ant watherthemes which are using own design frameworks this is a really must do before upgrade !
