Version 1.0.2 of YAK has been released.
This version is a slightly more involved upgrade than previous editions. Because WordPress’s automated build system creates a distribution from the subversion repository, the directory in the filename isn’t just “yak” — it’s “yak-for-wordpress”. This appears to cause problems when I’ve named my main plugin file: “yak.php”. As a consequence, the new name is “yak-for-wordpress.php”.
Thus, before upgrading, you should backup your wordpress installation, then deactivate and remove the old yak directory. Extract the contents of the new distribution and re-activate.
Changes in this release are included in the release notes here, but to summarise:
- order status is automatically set to STOCK SENT when all funds have been received for a PayPal order, if the order contains only downloadable items
- the ‘default’ category has been removed from the products drop down. This means you can still turn the drop-down on by default for products with more than one option, and the products that are tagged as ‘default’, won’t include the dropdown.
- fixed a problem with apostrophes in yak title, download and confirmation email
- fixed a problem with PayPal shipping with multiple items
- fixed a problem with PayPal verification (item names need to be properly encoded)
- tidied up the confirmation email and code
Any problems with this release, please let me know.
Teeny, tiny nitpick
yak.css still refers to yak.php instead of yak-for-wordpress.php
Like I said - tiny!
If Yak supported individual costs for shipping and tax rates, that would make my day.
Thanks. Updated in the repository.
Individual costs? You mean per product?
I just installed version 1.02 and it doesn’t appear to have added any tables to the database (viewed with phpmyadmin.
the following is extracted from the reports section of yak:
[Table 'shakeyblog.wp_yak_order' doesn't exist]
[Table 'shakeyblog.wp_yak_order_detail' doesn't exist]
?
What version of WP did you install onto?
fresh install on wordpress 2.3.1
php version: 5.2.5
mysql: 5.0.41
apache: 2.2.4
Found the problem (yesterday actually… forgot to reply). It’s nothing to do with the version of WP or other package. It was a bug in the latest release.
I’ve fixed it, so you should download version 1.0.2a (deactivate YAK first, copy over distribution, reactivate).
Hope that works better for you…
unfortunately not….
Same problem?
Sorry if I’m telling you stuff you’ve already done, but did you try removing the existing version of YAK (after deactivating), then copying over the new version?
If you’ve done that, can you also open the file yak-for-wordpress.php in a text editor and go to line 2348. It should read:
add_action(’activate_yak-for-wordpress/yak-for-wordpress.php’, ‘yak_install’);
that seems to have done the trick… Thanks very much….
However I am now having trouble with ordering.
The deposit (bank transfer in my case) and credit card pages show the right amount but no order number. The orders don’t appear in the yak orders section, although the amount available goes down.
I expect it’s something silly that i haven’t done… I’m new to wordpress, though have more experience phpbb….
Also, what do ou put in the Basic Settings Confirmation Email box? An email address?
ah, it is an email address…
I put all your noted bits in the confirmation box and recieved the following email:
The following email has been sent to :
is the order number,
Shipping costs: 0.00
is the order detail,
£0.00 is the total order cost,
is the payment type,
is the shipping address,
is the recipient name
I’d try viewing the source of the page. If there is something in there like: <–yak_price–> or <–yak_order_id–>, then something has gone wrong. Not sure what…
Hi, I am using your yak plugin, the latest version. I am having a problem finding out the customer’s shipping details on my order page. When I click on the “…” button, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? By the way, I am using MAC OSX.
the plug-in folder name needs to be yak-for-wordpress (as in the download) NOT yak - I had the same issue.
