I’m pleased to announce WP e-Commerce Plugin 3.7 RC1.
Many many issues have been resolved since the old skool 3.6.12 release and many many great new features have gone into this release. We feel comfortable with where the new user interface is going in that it is the most intuitaive of all e-Commerce Plugins (and we got help from our friend Nick La design guru), it is nice and optimized (fast code) and we also think that that we have the nicest and most mature set of features for retailers and sellers that complement the needs of the WordPress template gurus (theme developers) and programming gurus out there that use of software.
Our plan is to fix any final and reported issues and launch RC2 next Tuesday NZT. We hope you enjoy this release.
Have a good weekend and enjoy the threadless + thematic weekend challenge.

Ok, I’ve fixed UPS Internation/Domestic Shipping. The problem lays in the way the user updates the location, if they don’t do it in a specific order, the ajax call to submit the form never happens. The fix? Add a button:
themes/default/shopping_cart_page.php (line 96)
Change
to:
This adds a button and performs the necessary call to UPS services and updates the shipping prices. This fixes the longstanding domestic and international shipping tables problems. Currently there’s no error feedback if the wrong zipcode/postalcode gets entered in, so that could present a problem for some end-users.
(WP 2.81, 3.7 RC1)
oops…the code got stripped out: Change
input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Update”/
input type=”hidden” value=”true” name=”wpsc_update_location”/
Oh geez. One more time and I might get it right. Ignore the previous reply. If only I could edit my comments! Ha!
Change
input type=”hidden” value=”true” name=”wpsc_update_location”/
input type=’submit’ name=’wpsc_update_location’ value=’Calculate Shipping’
in themes/default/shopping_cart_page.php (line 96)
Also, this same edit needs to be applied to
themes/ishop/shopping_cart_page.php (line 93)
themes/marketplace/shopping_cart_page.php (line 93)
GST/Tax Rate appears to be calculating incorrectly. Overcharges customers by about a half a percent.
Ok, I was over reacting. It’s not a calculation problem. Sort of. It’s an ajax problem. Selecting different shipping speeds (ie between 2nd Day Air or Ground) updates the total price, but it doesn’t recalculate the tax.
Hi Brent, I implemented your change into the development version. I added a new submit input field though, since I believe it requires wpsc_update_location to equal true in some instances. I do not understand your second issue with tax,,, do you intent to include a tax for shipping, because currently shipping is purposely not included into the tax calculations….
I would be please to test it, but I can’t install it. It would be great if there were a test site with the new functionnalities you are talking about.
Hi this is a test site using wp 2.8.1 and Wp-E-Commerce 3.7RC1
http://apps.instinct.co.nz/wp-2.8.1/Price range in your test website didn’t work correctly.
well it does seem to work for us,, what did you experience that makes you say it does not work? Brief explanations to justify your errors will help developers recognize bugs quicker.
I don;t know about theirs, but if I put in “under $10″ on mine,it gives me $300, $400, $42, and pretty much anything *but* items under $10. Any other option is equally quirky. If by “working fine” one means “does not make my mouse turn into an angry banana” I’d say you guys are doing a great job. Otherwise, I think it still needs a lot of work.
Hi,
rookie here, but one thing I’m noticing is that in RC1/WP 2.8.1 the custom metadata value is not displayed. Instead, I get key:key combinations in all of the included ecommerce themes. And – just posted this in the forum – I get a redirect loop after clicking “purchase”. Cheers!
yes, custom fields do not display correctly. should be name: value, but it looks name: name instead
also, i cannot turn comments on (even if i do have an intense debate account)… is it a common issue?
fixed custom fields display values, will add intense debate on the list of checks
“Edit” button problem is directly related to Javascript. I need to turn it off for it to work. Needs a fix, I think.
Breadcrumbs still needs a fix.
Offsite product link problem remains too.
WP 2.8 / Plugin 3.7.RC1
I’ve emailed you a few days ago, but for everyone else interested. Offsite product link is fixed, Breadcrumbs is fixed and the edit button could be an issue with safari 4,,,
I’m noticing that when I put an image into the product page editor, its not showing when i visit the product on the website. Its showing up perfectly in the rich editor, but just doesnt show in the actual live listing
any ideas? Thx
Hello,
please send me details to translate e-commerce to Slovenian and … please check about currency for Slovenia, since we have Euro, not SIT any more…

Hello,
I use WP 2.8.1 and 3.7 RC1. I can’t add a new product. I get an empty page (…/wp/wp-admin/admin.php?message=1) when I try to add the product.
On the sales-page ist not an “0″ in front of product as in front of variantions, sales, etc. -> there is an empty space
What is the problem? I can add Groups and Variantions but not Products. Is it a database-problem? There are 29 wpsc tables in the database.
Thanks for your help. Regards,
Frederik
I am also having this problem. Need a fix soon!!! On local MAMP all is fine running latest wp-ecommerce and wordpress but up on 1and1 when adding a product it seems to just stop at a blank screen, possibly an access problem.
last url:
wp-admin/admin.php?message=1
Sorry all this is just a permalinks issue.
I’m having the same issue with ‘wp-admin/admin.php?message=1′ and I turned off my permalinks, and still cannot add a product. I am using wordpress 2.8.3
Please, tell us how you fixed it!! I got that issue, too…
Hey guys, I’m having this issue too and I can’t seem to find an answer. I’m running the latest version of WP and the latest version of wp-e-commerce. Thanks for the help.
When will the issue with dragging and dropping widgets be fixed? I use your software on all of my clients’ shopping carts, and now none of them can add widgets to their side bar unless I de-activate your product. I’m afraid to switch them to a beta of e-commerce (they are using your latest regular version) to fix this if there are other bugs. Please let me know what to do about this. They are NOT happy campers.
I can drag widgets in WordPress 2.8 with WP e-Commerce 3.7 RC1. You’ll need to upgrade to the RC1 version and trust that we will be ironing out any remaining issues during the next week – then upgrade to RC2 or the full version.
Hey guys, I upgraded and now my i’ve got two menu items for Upgrades and Upgrades (Old). I see on the new upgrades section I can release my gold cart key but I can’t submit it there – only on the (Old) section. Is this normal?
I’m having the same issue on my client’s site. How do we resubmit our Gold Keys?
Yes this is normal, we have done this to preserve compatibility with the old gold cart files,, the new gold cart files will be out soon. when you upgrade your gold cart files then you will be able to use the new upgrades page (looks nicer and has a few new features)
hi there,
I’ve translated the e-commerce plugin. Here is the hungarian translation for 3.6.12:
http://www.emotions.hu/media/ecommerce_HU_hu.zip
Could you include this translation for future versions?

Attila
OK… WP 2.8.1/RC1 – fresh install
Still cannot edit a product… otherwise backend seems mostly ok.
In the shop, I have added products to the cart and gone to checkout. The items duplicate, or disappear randomly and change quantities at will. If you change and update the quantities and then continue shopping, the old quantity returns.
Sometimes reloading the checkout page makes it show correctly…
Hope that info helps!
You can try it out at the link I’ve added.
You’ll get the link if you click my name!
Hi, I am having an issue with the taxes.
The cart charges taxes for ALL states even though I have SC ONLY checked.
Anyone else dealing with this and is there a fix?
Also I am using WP 2.7, have not upgraded to 2.8. Is the new version of e-commerce only compatible with 2.8.?
Thanks for y’all’s input!

Hi visit this blog post: http://www.instinct.co.nz/37-beta-release/
and read the USA Tax Law section, it may just answer your question. If not let us know.
I’m still using Beta 5~but now encounter this error when trying to checkout…
Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://marybethglasmann.com/lizstore/?page_id=120”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.
This Post is for RC1 so you need to upgrade to RC1 to check if that is corrected or the problem persist.
I’ve got the same problem, and upgrade page doesn’t show correctly. Any idea?
I’m using wp 2.8.1 and wp-ecommerce RC1
There is an error in image gallery.
If a product have image more than 2, only 2 image showed in single product page, and the other didn’t showed and there is ‘x’ sign.
But we can still click at ‘not showed image’.
Hi Not too sure what the issue is,, can you supply us with a link.. Also please be sure to use the latest gold cart files,
Me again! (No, don’t run, come back!)
This release is awesome – seems much more stable and the bugs appear to be few and far between. One thing I have noticed is that when I upload more than one image (when creating or editing a product), only one of them shows up in the edit screen.
Then when viewing the customer-facing products page, only one image for each product is shown (and it’s cropped to a thumbnail size). Looking the the mysql db shows that both images have been uploaded correctly and are linked to the products correctly, they’re just not outputting to the edit products page or the front of house pages.
When clicking on the images from the ’shop’ the lightbox works correctly and displays the larger image as you would expect. So I’m thinking this is only a minor problem.
Plus it’s great to see a flash uploader coming in RC2! Awesome news! :)
On a slightly different note, when trying to ‘complete’ a purchase, after adding items to the basket and filling in the relevant forms, Firefox (3.5) informs me that I’m stuck in an infinite redirect loop … so can’t checkout completely… Bummer!
Can clearly see you guys are really working hard on this, so fantastic job and really looking forward to RC2!

is anyone else having problems with the weight rate calculator? Every since i upgraded to the first beta I could never get it to work. The weight layers won’t add or delete in the settings, and in the cart, the calculator doesn’t calculate properly and uses only the last added weight layer. I keep hoping it will be fixed in the next version but it seems it gets worse. now the ajax on the shipping settings page doesn’t work
They are sensitive to the order the rates are in, they need to go from smallest at the top, to largest at the bottom.
However, I will look for any other issues with it, too, and try to fix the problem with the order of the items.
I’d like to see a “crippled” but otherwise, complete (all optional add-ins) version for development/design purposes. I’d like to be able to present full-featured version to clients for review without having to purchase all of the add-ons myself (times are tough)…Also for plug-in theme development purposes, it would be helpful… I recognize that such an approach might be problematic – but perhaps there could be some sort of approach that would meet the need without interfering with your revenue model….I can’t pitch it to clients without being able to customize it… I fneed be I’ll just code my own version of the base product – But that seems silly and counterproductive….Also, I see that add-on prices are going up…Anyway – I’m sure you’re now thinking of this situation as well – Death by a dozen add-ins – can’t make development/support easy…especially as the number of end-users begins to grow.
I’m developing e-commerce and use the wordpress plugin wp-commerce. how to change the shipping countries become shiping cities. My target market is Indonesian people
Hello Dan and Thomas !
In this way (commenting a post), with more than 20 comments, it is very hard (with a 200 px large column) to read and detect important infos. Why don’t you link this type of post to a thread in powerful BBpress ?
Hello, with this update the sliding cart appears to be broken. I never get the collapse plus/minus icon. Anyone else seen or fixed this?
I am using the manual cart location option in the presentation settings.
Thanks!
Do not forget “Track ID” input field in the “Sales” menu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be the first to admit that perhaps I broke something… and if so I’ll apologize in advance…
Using 3.7RC1 with WPMU 2.8.1
In the admin, the link to the “Marketing” tab does not appear to be working…
The other links look like:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpsc-edit-variations
the Marketing link looks like:
/wp-admin/wp-e-commerce/display-coupons.php
This of course throws an error…
I have another installation on a non-MU (WP 2.8.1) install that appears to be working properly…
the link is built in wpsc-admin/admin.php, at or around line 107.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, keep up the good work!

Well this version fixed the widget drag problem I noticed… few others I notice now.. not sure if was a problem before or not.. new to this.
The zip code for figuring rates needs to be fixed and auto calc after focus is off of that field… right as is someone can order without any shipping applied if they simply do not enter a zipcode.. (USA).
The visual editor for products is all screwy now, I tried clean installs twice… and I notice the problem when switching back and forth between html and visual… lost the editing icons on the visual now as well , most times the editing box disappears all together when visual is pressed.
Thumbnails on items are being cropped even if the preferences are set to scale and not crop… only way around I found was make my own thumbnails and point to them… but the cart still chooses a smaller cropped version as well.
UPS shipping options, can these be displayed least expensive to most expensive, not how it is now… put UPS ground on top.
Few quick little suggestions would be add a trashcan icon next to items in the cart (widget) to easily remove them, and also add a checkbox about the shipping info for “Shipping same as billing” (then copy the info if checked).
Also free shipping coupons (linked to specified products or all) would be a nice addition too. – You also have use once, how about allow x number of uses…then simply could say first 100 people to use a code the discount… and “Apply On All Products”- how can this used only on specific , you should simply use a browse button to then select the products you wish to have them apply to
any chance the bug in the sales price when combined with variance will be fixed in RC2? Or 3.7 Final?
Here is the full bug fix…

URGENT HELP NEEDED:
This has already been posted but I thought I would keep it fresh..
Using latest wordpress and wp-ecommerce on local MAMP..

Using latest wordpress and wp-ecommerce on 1AND1.
Adding product results in white screen. url stops at:

Access problem?

SOrry just a permalinks issue.
Adam, care to share how you fixed the issue with permalinks? I have the same issue and would greatly appreciate your insight.
hi, i installed this plugin a few weeks ago and for the most part it’s working but very buggy. my major issue at the moment is that i keep getting this error when i click from a sub page in my gallery to any other page:
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/tinyturk/public_html/photo/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wp-shopping-cart.php on line 288
The gallery page doesnt have anything to do with the shop page/plugin so i’m confused as to what’s causing it.
Having the same issue myself which never was a problem previously — anybody have a fix?
I had the same issue. While researching it the error is just a PHP warning so it should not cause actual problems. If found the same issue happening with other plugin and one fix can be found at http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mpo/mpo-comments-old where you simple remove the unserialize() PHP function from line 288 in your wp-shopping-cart.php file.
Another option, which is what I did, is to simple turn off error reporting in your PHP ini file. This is a recommened secure practice anyway for a live site as a hacker can determine your file paths and weaknesses with error reporting on.
I cannot vouch that removing the serialize() function would work or what effects it would have on wp e-commerce. The developer on the project would have to confirm that.
Hope this helps a little ; )
Why do you bother making a script like this, wasting everybody’s time, if you can’t even get it to work?
There have been a number of people on this page alone, asking about the blank page/permalinks issue which you have not yet resolved but concluded with a simple “it’s a permalinks issue”.
With this being in the way, I can’t even use the script… so the whole thing becomes a pointless waste of time.
I would recommend you find a new job, because coding clearly isn’t for you.
How to fix this ? i got below message when activating plugin from wp-admin
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 15990784) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in …. plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-admin/display-groups.page.php on line 187
I found below code at display-groups.page.php on line 187
” if($_POST['product_width'] > 0) {
$product_width = (int)$_POST['product_width'];
} else {
$product_width = ”;
}
“
I have pasted the shopping cart code manually in my theme and the only thing that shows is “Shopping Cart.” It doesn’t show any products that have been added to the cart.
I know it’s probably something simple, but I am fried at this point.
