Hello, thank you for the nice plugin! I’m developing now a online shop for a publishing company so I’ll probably have a few questions :)
But first, the fixes: romanian currency is RON (old one was indeed ROL) – this needs to be changed in currency_list.php
And now the questions:
1. the tag [wpsc_products product_id='x'] shows the product “expanded” (with the additional information dispalyed). Is is possible to have another parmeter to have it displayed like in the category list?
2. what does Update page urls and Fix product group permalinks do?
3. is it possible to have the product name link point somewhere else than the wp-e-commerce generated page?
Hey guys, I have another idea for an enhancement or future release… It would be nice to have a flat rate or table rate option where you can have a separate price for second day or overnight shipping. Right now, I’m not sure how that would be handled but it would be nice to be able to specify three sets of shipping prices (for table and flat rate) and then the visitor can use a radio selection to choose which they would like.
Thanks again,
John
Hi guys, I have found yet another possible enhancement idea… I was entering a purchase for a customer and realized I entered his email wrong after I completed the purchase. It would be nice to be able to fix this in the sales area – I had to make the fix inside the SQL database which is a pain…
John
I second this idea!
This looks really comprehensive, I can’t wait to get started on setting up a cart for my first product/shopping oriented site.
Hey guys, I found what I would consider a possible bug with the admin settings for the cart. If I have a custom purchase receipt message that contains single or double quotes, it adds a forward slash each time I update the admin settings. Every time I make a change anywhere, I have to go in and remove all the forward slashes or it sends an email to the customer with the extra characters. Is there a way to prevent it from adding more than one forward slash? I understand the need for the first one before each single or double quote but after that it is problematic.
Thanks,
John
Hi John the fix is very simple Im sorry we didnt catch that one sooner. basically on line 81, 77 and 65 of this file:
/wpsc-admin/includes/settings-pages/admin.php
add stripslashes() to the get_options() functions, for example
get_option(’wpsc_email_receipt’);
becomes
stripslashes(get_option(’wpsc_email_receipt’));
this fix will be in the development version by tomorrow as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks – I will pull a copy down tomorrow. I wasn’t sure if it was a bug you guys knew about so I thought I’d throw it out. Sorry for the barrage of comments!
Hey guys…. found another possible bug. When I add a product and specify a product thumbnail size in the product editor (different from default) and then go back and make changes to the product and save those changes, it loses the custom thumbnail size. Each time I need to edit a product I have to then re-update the thumbnail size.
@John, I was investigating how I could change my thumbnail sizes and found your post. Where are you setting custom product thumbnail sizes? I can’t see any option for doing that when creating a new product?
This is going to sound super fussy, but I’ve just downloaded (really impressed to have such a good plugin coming from NZ) and installed and noted that the uploads directory doesn’t use the default directory set in WordPress settings.
It would be neat if it did – I have mine separate from wp-content and it makes sense that the ecommerce uploads sit with all the others too.
Now… off to discover all the goodies under the hood!
Hey, looking forward to this upgrade!
My one wish would be for someone to thoroughly inspect the digital download link code. I have about 1 out of 10+ customers who experience a timeout while downloading a file – regardless of file size. The files range between 20mb and 500mb. I was told it was my server so I upgraded to a dedicated server. Then it was my php settings, so those have been updated.
The problem experienced by these customers is that when the download times out, they go back to their confirmation email and click the link only to end up at the front of my store. Why does the link not work after they click it the first time? I’ve double checked all of my settings and everything should allow for the link to work an unlimited number of times. I’ve spent hours trying to fix this and posting in the forum to no avail.
Is there an option for the admin to be emailed when a sale occurs? I’m looking through the settings and I’m not seeing an option like this. Have I missed something?
Hi Guys, I noticed that on the most recent version, when I enter notes on the sale details section for a transaction, it doesn’t save those notes. I also noticed that there isn’t a place ot enter a tracking number now where it was there in the past.
Thanks!
The notes column looks like it is not in the database in 3.7 RC2 but it has been added in the current development version. See line 276 here:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?new=137308%40wp-e-commerce&old=137285%40wp-e-commerce
no support for this plugin even if you purchase the gold options… so sad… not even a reply in the forums or here in the comments…
I’m setting up this plugin and am having trouble on the Add/Edit Product page. The “Thumbnail Settings” to manually crop a product image appears to be broken. I can select from the options in the “Edit” popup box, but I there isn’t a way to confirm that selection. I have to ftp to my site and change out the thumbnails myself. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
Request:
It would be awesome in the gold cart files to differentiate the origination zip code of products. This would be useful for people who drop ship products or just those who ship from various locations. Then, the shipping would be accurate depending on the product.
I am hoping to use this plug in for another client, but don’t want to pay to upgrade as I hear lots of people complaining about not getting their problems solved (or even replied to) does anyone have a solution to the current thumbnail problem that keeps cropping up… the site is http://www.sshms.com.au & I can’t stop the product categories from being cropped to 45 x 25px, I have gone thru every .php & .css file and cannot find out where this size is coming from… Have changed thumbnail size in admin panel to 50 x 50, when I add a new product category, 50 x50 comes up & yet it still displays in home page as 45 x 25?? Arrrggghh…
