Hi Martin,

Are your current website made with Tea Commerce 2? I that is the case all you need to do is fit the my tutorial on how to create a license webshop to Tea Commerce 2. The code not using the Tea Commerce API will work fine, so you will need to use the new v2 API. To hook into the Tea Commerce 2 events you need to use the approach below.

using TeaCommerce.Api.Models;
using Umbraco.Core;
using ApiNotifications = TeaCommerce.Api.Notifications;

namespace TeaCommerce.Examples.Notifications {

  public class BasicNotificationExample : IApplicationEventHandler {

    public void OnApplicationInitialized( UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext ) { }
    public void OnApplicationStarting( UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext ) { }

    public void OnApplicationStarted( UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext ) {
      ApiNotifications.NotificationCenter.Order.OrderFinalized += OrderOnOrderFinalized;
    }

    private void OrderOnOrderFinalized( Order order ) {

      //Do license stuff here

    }
  }
}

If you are using Tea Commerce 1. You can just implement the tutorial into your existing site.

Hi Rune,

That's really useful - thank you.

There are holes in my knowledge still - I've attended the Level 1 and Level 2 Umbraco courses and already developed a first Umbraco website - but the TeaCommerce package is confusing partially because of the big change from V1 to V2 and partially because much of the existing TeaCommerce examples and documentation relate to V1 and not to V2. It took me a long while (too long!) to realise that the "documentation" on the TeaCommerce website (which points to your blog) was for V1 only - and now I've discovered the V2 documentation portal but this is still missing some vital aspects such as concrete examples and the .Net API documentation.

Anyway, I am now in the process of adapting the Software License code to match the V2 version you've helped me with. There appears to be no longer an XSLTHelper class so what is the recommended method to apply XSLT to the order details to create, for example, a confirmation email (as per your example)?

Many thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin

Sorry about the documentation - we are working hard to get the entire thing ready and all the examples. We will release the different docs when they are ready - so it will grow over time. I think we will correct each current blog post and show that is only for v1 of Tea Commerce.

About the email stuff. If you have an email template which you have configured to use a Razor or XSLT file you can do like this.

EmailTemplateService.Instance.Get( storeId, emailTemplateId).Send( order );

This will send the email template with the order as context.

Kind regards
Anders

Actually I have just clicked through my blog posts and added a small text explaining that the article is for Tea Commerce 1.x.

Thanks for noticing!

Hi Anders,

I'm beginning to appreciate the huge effort that you're making - and I really appreciate that you're working on the documentation and aiming to get it in the right structure. I'm spending some time today to try to more fully appreciate the structure and event model by working with the TeaCommerce Starter Kit - that seems to be a more standard place to start.

My current goal is to simply have a software-licence e-commerce site through which to sell a software product. So this just needs the Software License module that Rune has been kind enough to share (I'll reply to his note in a moment) and PayPal payments (which I saw listed on the TeaCommerce features but haven't had a chance to research it further yet).

When I looked at the various options for building e-commerce into an Umbraco site the TeaCommerce ticked all the boxes (PayPal, Software License module solution) as well as making sense commercially (one-off licence fee for a reasonable price). So if this all works out then I'll be your biggest advocate!

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Rune,

Even better - it would be wonderful if you produce a TeaCommerce 2.x version of your article!

But thank you anyway for the original 1.x article which I found really useful in any case - hopefully I can complete the adaptation and integration fairly quickly.

Cheers,
Martin

Yeah. We'll be writing more documentation on the run. Until then you are all free to ask away here at the forum!

Sorry, posted in wrong topic

Hi Anders and Rune,

Just to finish this thread by letting you know that the site has gone live at www.attachaware.com

This is an Umbraco/TeaCommerce site with EU VAT Number checking, custom order finalization with custom properties, software licence generation and management (including single, multiple and domain licences) and custom email templates.

I feel now as though I have a platform on which to launch other software-based products.

It's still early days - just launched - so I will be happy to receive any bug reports etc.

PS: Please excuse me if I paste this to complete the various forum threads I started over the past few months!

Cheers,
Martin
