TOPIC: ** DT Register 2.7 Status **

Can you clarify something.
Is the 2.70a from 11/21 01:42 a version that we can now use and has the fixes from your stolen laptop, or do we need to wait?

And for anyone who is upgrading their production code directly, you are taking huge risks. Why not run a dev server that is a mirror of your live sites to test this stuff on, and WAIT ONE WEEK before committing new code!

Thanks

Repeating events not working on fresh install. Every time I make the changes and save, they don't stay.

I support this idea. For me personally I don't run ANY software on my live site without testing it on a test site. The reason is quite simple. I have been creating my content for years and don't want my mysql data damaged.

I've been testing this extension since beta1 (it was 6 beta releases), but I physically can't check everything (the functionality is too large to be easily checked)=>I can not be sure that everything is working fine.

The thing we are talking here is the payment extension with possibly thousands of records => thousands of clients=>their money, bank accounts, children...you name it
If this data is just disappeared due to a code bug I wouldn't want to explain all of them the reason why... :

DTR is extremely serious extension, because it's related to MONEY
I think that support team should run the test site with open backend for everybody. Thus we can test it faster and check if it is really stable before running on real sites.

For now my project is between ground and heaven, because I'm not sure if I should create events in the 2.69 (seems to be stable), or wait until the stable 2.7 will come. Once the process of taking payments is launched it can't be stopped.

P.S. Also we need a member-only thread. Now all bugs are reported using tickets and I want to know what bugs are discovered by the others to be able to pay more attention on this on my site also. We need a kind of bugs log.
Yootheme team do this way and I swear I don't remember a bug in their stable versions.

Hello,

I just purchased DT Register today. I have downloaded and run the installer and received the error "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT' at line 1 SQL=ALTER TABLE `jos_dtregister_group_event` CHANGE `slabId` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT" during installation. I checked the version and it is 2.7.0a. After reading this thread it seems I should install 2.6.9 instead? I assume this is still downloadable somewhere on the website? Where can I download that version? The only one avaiable to me at the moment is 2.7.0a, which clearly still has at least the one bug.....

Thanks!

dreamweavers,

When you downloaded DTR 2.7. There is a copy of 2.69f in the archive...use that one.

A public or semi public beta and associated beta forum are definitely best and catches a lot. People can run the beta at their own risk, however they want, and then issues are reported publicly and worked on prior to release. It's a good system I've worked in with other companies.
