Sweet. Let us know when the new Crafty Cart theme will be available
I have been getting requests for more “personalize” options for each product.
So what I mean is that they require more text box variations. They want the customer to be able to type in more than just personalized text. They want them to type in their initials, numbers, gift card message.
Example: http://www.mrsmonogram.com/Menfeets-Dopp-Kit_MPD111.html
Will this ever be available?
They are not happy with the customer having to type it at the checkout, they want each product to be separate in case someone is ordering say 10 things, it would get confusing.
Please add this feature :) I think it’s available with most other shopping carts
This really isnt the best place to discuss a new feature and I’m not sure of any other carts that have this feature either…. at least not to the same degree as on mrsmonogram.com which looks pretty unique to their site and requirements. Something that feature rich is not really high up on our priority list for 3.7.5 or even 3.7.6 unless somebody wanted to commission it. Or if there was a lot of interest from the community.
That said simply adding a form field on a product by product basis could be done in 3.7.6 or possibly even sooner if somebody wanted to commission it or do it for us and submit us a patch.
I will be posting a product road map soon…
Best,
Dan
I’d like to 2nd this as I think the Personalisation options is rather important. Can’t see the point of only doing half a job on this. Text box variations would be so usefull to alot of us and I think it’s just been overlooked as it surely isn’t that difficult or time consuming to add.
I think you forgot to mention Toms awesome CForms fix ;)
when will we see EU VAT (TAX) options..???
I think the shipping options is not working in this version .
I cant update the shipping charges and it show an error message.
You’d have to show us. It sounds like a problem on your server because we can definitely save shipping settings. A conflicting Plugin maybe… beats me.
Also in future, to make it easier on the developers please post the error – because unless they can see it then no programmer in the kingdom of grey skull can help you :)
I think I’ve come across the same/similar issue. When I try to change/set any of the shipping settings once updating I get “Your attempt to edit your settings has failed. Please try again”. All other settings pages appear to update properly.
And I don’t have any other plugins enabled. Using thematic.
Hi Yes it is a bug, easy fix, is in the dev version now. Sorry about that~
Awesomeness – thanks for your help!
Spotted a bug – when using Limited Quantity, if an item is added to basket AND the customer proceeds to the Checkout screen, even if the transaction isn’t processed, the quantity reduces still? This is a problem, especially if a basket is dropped, although there aren’t any problems if the item is removed in the sidebar widget
Good spotting. We’ll be looking at / testing this later today :)
I have not been able to reproduce this problem on my test site. The plugin does not permanently subtract from the total stock until the order is marked as accepted.
However, it does temporarily claim the stock when it is added to the cart, where it is held until three hours after the user leaves the site if the order is not submitted, or until the order is either marked as confirmed or rejected.
You can edit the amount of time before the claim on the stock is removed by editing this line at the bottom of wp-shopping-cart.php:
$old_claimed_stock_timestamp = mktime((date(’H') – 3), date(’i'), date(’s’), date(’m'), date(’d'), date(’Y'));
Just change the 3 to the amount of time in hours after a user last visited the site that you want the claimed stock to be cleared.
It works! It works! You have saved my life! Thank you!
Would be nice to add a WordPress filter to $old_claimed_stock_timestamp so it can be set via a plugin or function in a theme so you don’t have to re-hack the file when upgrading. What do you think?
Hi I’ve been trying to import a csv on a couple of sites with RC2 and noticed that the title links to the detailed product descriptions on the product page don’t work properly for imported products (Example http://ecom.mydemo.com.au/products-page/). If you go into the dashboard and update the products manually after importing them it seems to fix the problem however. I have also tried the “Fix Permalink and Url” links under admin settings and it doesn’t appear to do anything.
Hey jConroy,
I didn’t forget about you! I’ve been working on a fix for this, it is in the development version. Ill email you to make sure you get the fix.
Best

Thanks, problem solved!
Hi,
I had to remove the “htmlentities” function in the product_page file to get the urls right. Before that got urls like this:
?page_id=3&category=1&page_number=2
lines: 71, 73, 277, 279
note “?page_id=3 & a m p ; = 3category=1&page_number=2″ that was
Variations are too much to uncheck
i think this could be considered a bug, because make the variations nearly inusable for those who have a lot.

We’re running Version 3.7.5 Beta 2 at happygirlkitchen.com and for some reason the checkout page is not working correctly. We use paypal for our gateway. I can get to the payment gateway when using Firefox, but not using Safari or Opera. When I try to get through to paypal with either Safari or Opera (not sure about IE), then the checkout page just refreshes.
Anyone else have this problem?
Can someone help with this?

Hi. i’ve test this version on my wpmu site.
When upload the product image using flash, it won’t display the thumbnail automaticly at bottom of upload button. but then when it saved and edit it will display it.
Also the purchase doesn’t work, it didn’t process the purchase.
When I using version 3.7.4 this problem do not happens.
Hi there i really like your plugin i think in next update why dont you put monybookers and credit card option for the payment .
it will boost your plugin
thanks really nice work
Is there a quick way of either:
a) editing the products list page, so that instead of ‘Add to cart’, you get a simple link to the product. I want to force users to enter ‘personalization message’
b) adding the ‘personalized message’ box to the above the ‘Add to Cart’ button on the products list page so that they can enter info here before ‘Adding To Cart’
Sorry if this post is in the wrong place!
