In reply to: wp-ecommerce plugin – BROKE MY WIDGETS!!!Their forum is fixed, but don’t expect to find much help there. You’re actually more likely to run into the maintainers of that plugin here, as a matter of fact.
The problem is that the stable version of wp ecommerce does not play well with wordpress 2.8 – your best course of action is to download their latest beta 4 release, which despite being a beta still gets the job done just as well.

In reply to: wp-e-commercednphipps: I looked and don’t believe there’s an easy way. This might be a good idea to post as a feature request in their forums, some kind of system similar to the page ordering of WordPress itself would be a welcome addition.

In reply to: WordPress Shopping Cart other than wp e-commerce?There are a number of free options.
Any favorites you’d like to suggest?

In reply to: wp-e-commerceI went to run the sales upgrade fix, even though this was a clean install and not an upgrade, to see if that would fix my problem. It’s different from before because now I have a form to actually associate the fields, but when you get to the bottom it would appear you were printing an array for debug and must’ve left it there by accident, because there’s no way to submit the form, the script must be sending a die() after printing the array. 🙁

In reply to: wp-e-commerceYou mayyyy have gotten yourselves a convert, the new beta looks great guys. I’ve ran into the same problem I had before though, paypal express running through the sandbox doesn’t complete transactions – wp-e thinks it has but paypal doesn’t.
I’d love to show you what I mean, I put up a screenshot here: http://mark.watero.us/noresults.png – though I know this is hardly helpful on its own. So if either of you has the time and wants to try it out for debugging, I’ll give you a complete detailed list of my setup and the information for my sandbox test account so you can run through a transaction of your own, and see I’m not just making this up. 😉 I’m not asking for free support, you don’t have to fix my installation for me, I’ll either figure it out or I won’t, but if you want to see for your own reasons, the offers on the table. Just drop me a message.

In reply to: wp-e-commerceI realize a lot of work goes into these kinds of projects, especially one as involved as wp e-commerce, and you guys deserve a lot of credit for that, especially when most people who do these kind of things have to manage their day jobs too. To be fair, my first foray was with wp2.8 and wpe3.6.12, and my frustration has stemmed from that particular experience.
I’ll definitely swing by to pick up your latest release, and if all goes well, as I hope it does, I have big plans for wp-e. I’m sure after all this you’ll recognize my name next time you see it, and while I’m sure you won’t be holding your breath waiting for it, I’ll let you know how it goes. 😉

In reply to: wp-e-commerceFrustration and complete and total stubbornness pay off. I got it to work on my Ubuntu development server, going to run it through the sandbox four more times to make a total of ten runs before I say its 100%, but we’ll see. Maybe I’ll even change my tune, who knows…

In reply to: wp-e-commerceIs mocking those who have problems with your plugin really the best way to promote it? Who knows what charlls has dedicated to? Also, I wasn’t saying it takes a programmer to set it up, I was merely stating what I did to say that my problems aren’t because I don’t know how to find the plugins directory.
I’ve seen it in action, so I know somebodies gotten it to work. I had high hopes for it too, because it looks like a good option, but sadly the only option. However I have not had it work without problems in any environment I’ve set it up in, so I’m giving my honest opinion. I’ve often seen in your forums that Shayne feels the best solution to almost every problem posted is to upgrade either wp ecommerce to a beta copy, or upgrade WordPress to a beta copy.
From google: BETA – second in order of importance; “the candidate, considered a beta male, was perceived to be unable to lead his party to victory”
Hardly a solution for anybody running a production environment.

In reply to: wp-e-commerceGabe: Personal experience to date for myself (who wanted to use it for a a client as well as a WPMU startup) is poor at best. The support offered from their site is practically non-existent at best, and even after beating it practically into submission the paypal gateway only works 40% of the time. After trying most every possible combination of this software (their ‘stable’ release with 2.7.1 and 2.8, and their beta release with the two most recent copies of wordpress) this is definitely not something I would offer a paying client.
I’m fairly new to WordPress but I’ve been on the web since Netscape 2.0 and developing applications for it since PHP 3, so I’m pretty sure I’m not having all these issues out of my own incompetence. But who knows… 🙂
It’s got promise, but I think some more developers need to be added to the team to make it a reality.

In reply to: Removing H2 from sidebar widgets that don’t contain a title?Still like to hear back from anybody who has suggestions on this, but I did solve the problem by styling the divs widgets with some crafty position: relative… 😛

In reply to: register_sidebar and dynamic_sidebar not working like I thought it should?ahhh sorry I was trying to figure out why when I registered multiple sidebars none of them showed up in the admin panel, and I discovered the error of my ways. I try to learn by dissecting other peoples work in addition to what I read, and I was editing the functions.php of another theme while editing the proper sidebar.php file….
