Web Designer and Developer
I’ve been using the WP e-Commerce plugin for WordPress a lot recently and delving behind the scenes to make it do want I want it to. In the process I have submitted a couple of style changes to the core to style it to be more like WordPress out-of-the-box.
One thing I think should be changed to bring the product edit screen in-line with the WordPress post/page editing layouts is the separation of the Categories and Tags boxes.
I’ve made my first contribution to the WP e-Commerce plugin – my first contribution to an open source project…
It’s a great e-commerce plugin for WordPress but there were a few visual things niggling me that I thought should be sorted out – mainly the way that the widget for showing categories was not styled the same way as the WordPress default widgets.
Fixing the issue was just a case of making a couple of tweaks to the HTML; changing some square brackets to normal brackets and removing some bold styling.
Nothing revolutionary there, but it should now look a whole lot better with your default WordPress theme without making any modifications…
The current version in development WP e-Commerce 3.7 is looking great, with an overhaul of the user interface to bring it into line with WordPress 2.7, a complete reorganisation of the code making it easier for us developers, and a new template engine which works along the same lines at the WordPress Loop so that theme authors can now get in on the act without having to delve too far into the plugin’s code.
