So, the Evil Hat webstore is on ZenCart 1.3.8; I’d like to get it upgraded to the latest 1.3.9 branch, but that looked like a real pain the last time I investigated, and moreover, the kind I might not have the time (nor, importantly, the temperament) for.

If I recall correctly, there’s a lot of “write down your various module config infos, uninstall the modules, then reinstall them after the upgrade” BS involved; I’d want the Super Orders module reinstalled after the upgrade, and I’d also like then to look into getting another payment option or two installed — possibly Amazon Payments (since I’m going to end up with an Amazon Payments account anyway if I’m planning for Kickstarter fu down the road).

Someone who’s done an upgrade before would be preferred, so we can take advantage of that person’s prior experience making “entertaining” discoveries about the snags in the process. Minimized downtime is key.

So: are you someone who could do this work (please share your relevant experience)? And how much would it cost me? (We don’t have a lot of money for this, but free Evil Hat products can certainly be incorporated in the compensation package…)

Let me know!

    (A) I have not done this, but I have worked as a sysadmin.
    (B) I have nothing in particular to do this month, so I have the freedom to do so.
    (C) You seem like cool folks, I’d be happy to do it gratis.
    (D) I can set up a test environment to try it before doing it live, which should help with snags.

    You know my email, if you want to talk more.

      You have my attention. :) Wanna read up on ZenCart first and see if you’re still game?

    Really? Wow, that’s pretty horrible. I really feel for you folks.

    I’d LOVE to poke around doing it, but I have absolutely zero experience with ZenCart. I’m great at doing details and following directions and I love monkeying around in computer stuff. I mean, that’s what I have a degree in and all … but sadly a lack of a job in it yet…

    So, yeah! I could do it and I’d love to do it for y’all, but I didn’t through my name up ’cause earlier ’cause I saw Kit’s and they have just about as much qualification to do it as I do.
