alwayspaws Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I found @lesley's free ADD THIS module on 12-5-2016 and registered for his dh42 newsletter. On Feb 8, 2017, I received his newsletter with the subject: "Announcing thirty bees, a faster more stable ecommerce platform based off of PrestaShop". Thank you, Lesley! I registered with thirty bees, saved my creds in my password vault along with a note that said: "For better ways to develop your website!" and the rest is history! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzex Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Searching for a fix for the PrestaShop plain text email password issue! :( Always got frustrated with PS problems and lost motivation several times over the years since I already had a working non PS site. Seems I was searching more for PS fixes or how to remove all the distracting adverts in BO than actually getting it live. Things have changed! Thanks TB crew! PS Plus as a beekeeper I like the name ? What's the story behind the thirty bees name choice? I have a feeling it's coder related and not beekeeping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynambee Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I got a PM on Reddit telling me about 30bz and directing me here to have a look. This was before 30bz launched and I signed up for the mailing list to get more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnsgioia Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I was using MDekker's stripe module on my PS 1.7 site (which I was having some issues with) and saw a reference to TB on the PS forum when he said he wouldn't be supporting the module there anymore so I went looking for it.

jnsgioia Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 @mdekker The stripe module was a minor problem I was having with PS 1.7... I was very happy to find 30bz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell your story!: lol, so my (angry) post had some use :P Yeah, the module never really worked on 1.7. I can remember how the first 1.7.0.x couldn't even accept payments directly (set to Payment accepted status would crash the Front Office). It looks like it runs a lot better on thirty bees though ^^ I have not migrate yet, but I am here also because that post hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I found this via both NemoPS and DH42 blogs, which I count as trusted sources of material. The big surprise for me on PrestaShop was needing to use Google Translate to actually find fixes to problems as there's a lot of it in European languages. Due to this I got to following certain people and searching to see if they'd posted solutions, which is how I wound up on their blogs :) I got interested in TB because PrestaShop 1.7 looks like a flop, Magento 2 CE is still in development and then features I want are going to be in the EE paid version only (I can well see Magento 2 CE falling to the wayside as the CE/EE diverge) and basically PrestaShop 1.6 is rubbish compared to Magento 1. If it wasn't for TB I'd have talked my boss into ditching PrestaShop in favour of Magento 1 and see where we'd be in 2019. Given what is available on the market I fully believe TB could replace Magento CE 1&2 and PrestaShop for the SMB. I've not migrated our 3 stores yet, they're stuck in limbo on PrestaShop 1.6.1.6, 1.6.1.10 and 1.6.1.12 as I can't upgrade all 3 to 1.12 due to the stupid 1-click upgrade module (1.13+ there's been a lot of stuff broken that I need). I tested out a migrate, which went horribly wrong and so I'm waiting on 1.0.2 to try again. I expect to have both my 1.6.1.6 and 1.6.1.10 stores over on TB before Christmas with my 1.6.1.12 store migrated around March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, @Nemo and @lesley (DH42) are very trusted, very technically knowledgeable and very helpful people, along with @mdekker @Traumflug @wakabayashi and more! I can't name everyone, but we're a great team of developers, module makers and merchants who all agree with your thoughts to one degree or another. For me, 100% against Magento (Nov 2015 failed site) and PS after two failed attempts to launch my website, which I began in November 2015. Yes, 2015! Only after arriving at thirty bees, do I actually have a fully operational website. Since I've only worked on it for a few months, there are many things I need to learn, study and become aware of. That's where the people of thirty bees come in. You have a question? They HAVE the answer! And if they don't, they make it their business to find out. For that reason, I am again mentioning some people and adding more who have helped me overcome difficulties during such times that I become overwhelmed. Their encouragement, helpfulness, friendliness and knowledge are amazing! Thank you, first to @DavidP for his wonderful synopsis of why he's here, which matches many, most, or all of us. Thank you (in no particular order!) to @mdekker @lesley @wakabayashi @Havouza @jnsgioia @Nemo @Traumflug @roband7 @vzex @twistcapmedia @dynambee @spidawebs If I forgot anyone, I'll thank you soon.

It's amazing but terrific how we have all gathered here! PS 1.7 has brought a lot of issues to merchants that we can do without. Thanks for looking for @mdekker's module!
