I am pleased to annouce that WP e-Commerce 3.6.9 has been launched. More then anything I would like to thank our supporters, fans, testers friends and developers. To name just a few; Taeke, Sancho, Kate, Marcus, Wes, Shayne, Tom, Allen, Jeff, Anson and David. All your efforts are appreciated so so much!!
Not only have we improved the plugin but we’ve improved our documentation – each page now has a releated files section and we’re working on our own Wiki.
Following is a list of changes, if I’ve missed anything let me know.
- Variations should be solid like a rock
- Variation database tables = fixed

- Admin UI tweaks (product groups page, edit products page and sales page)
- Language files database now used UTF-8 encoding (or same as WordPress)

3.6.10… the best…!!… the list says it all… ;)
Lets keep on truck’n…!!! :)
“I am pleased to annouce that WP e-Commerce 3.6.9 has been launched.”
Huh?
The title says “3.6.10″, and I can’t find a link to that anywhere, just 3.6.9. And in WP it won’t update.
Ok, the download is now 3.6.10, but the first line of text still lists “I am pleased to annouce that WP e-Commerce 3.6.9 has been launched.”
OK, got it. It’s on Wordpress’s site. I made the mistake of downloading it from your site, which has the old version still, for some unknown reason….
Thanks for pointing that out.
I have updated the link on our site to download the 3.6.10 version. My bad!!!
How can I use the add to cart shortcode? Is there instruction for that?
I can think of two features that would be great to have.
1) A sale that times out. So you can have a deal of the day or a deal of the week without having to go back through your products and reset prices.
2) The ability to have a third price for people that have user accounts.
Is there user account stat tracking, products viewed, products purchased, etc, etc?
Actually a plethora of stats to track would be nice, where products are selling, how quickly they sold out , what age group is buying what etc, etc. This would enable people to better target the audience with products.
This would be an amazing feature to have for WPEcommerce. I’ve been thinking of having someone write a plugin for me, but even better if it was built in :D
Hi Dan!
First of all, I want to congratulate the Instinct-team! I think you have made a beautiful Wordpress plugin.
There is just one thing I would like to change (I have tried, but my skills are apparently not that great).
In some shopping carts you see on the Internet it’s possible to retrieve ones address just by entering ones phone-number on the checkout page. This makes it much easier for people to purchase stuff…
What do you say? Can it be implemented in a future version?
I saw in the list that you have updated some language files. I would like to help for fixing the Bulgarian ones.
Hello Dan,
I have a challenging assignment, A website with e-commerce for mobile devices. Is your plugin compatible with any of the mobile plug-ins? If so, which one is the best you think?
Thanks in advance. I really would appreciate your help on this!!
Christine
PS: I’ll donate! Promise!
