YAK for WordPress 2.3

Sunday, 23 September, 2007

YAK, for WordPress 2.3, is on its way.

There are structural database changes required for WP2.3, and while I don’t necessarily need to change the YAK tables as a consequence, I do need to change a few (relatively complicated) SQL statements. So if anyone has a test environment and would like to help, it would be great if someone (other than me) can check whether or not the changes have been completely successful.
I can package up the current tip of the repository and email out to those interested.

Please note that I’ve made the decision not to support older versions of WP (i.e. versions less than 2.3) from this point on, as supporting different versions of a database makes development inordinately complicated. That said, if you won’t (or can’t) upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, and have some essential feature that you want in YAK, feel free to cross my palms with (quantities of) silver and I’d be happy to help. ;-)

The only other change that goes into this release is the support for paging in the YAK products page. This is the product list page (using the tag <!–yak_product_page–> tag) where your users can see all your current products (in order of newest to oldest). I’m only aware of one person actually using this feature, so for most, the only thing of interest in this coming release is the 2.3 support. More to come when I have the time.

    I would be very interested in helping with Yak for 2.3

    I have used YAK successfully and in my latest websites I have been using 2.3 wordpress (without YAK)

    I’d hate to have a customer want a 2.3 installation with shopping cart and YAK isn’t available.

    Hi Paul, YAK 1.0.1 has been released anyway. Had enough offers of testing that I was reasonably confident it would work okay.

    Download is available from:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yak-for-wordpress/

    or from the original sourceforge page.
