I’ve decided to release 1.1.0 of YAK for Wordpress as an “experimental” version. It hasn’t been fully tested yet, but enough people are hanging out for some of the features that I hope a few early adopters might kindly help out with the process.
1.1.0-exp includes features from the not (publically) released 1.0.4:
- Add new non-unique order id
- Move javascript on cart off page and into separate script. split javascript into generic and admin specific files — to stop problems with (missing) jquery on the wp pages.
- Add warning message for people with session.auto_start turned on.
- Integrate YAK back into the WordPress menu structure. The top-level menu was a nice idea, but it’s inconsistent with all other plugins (plus isn’t recommended, according to the WP devs). You can now get to YAK’s options through Settings->Yak, and to Orders/Products/Sales Reports from the Manage menu.
- Fix PHP4 problem with the view products screen
Along with a few additional features:
- Add https support
- Add first cut of Google Checkout integration.
- Tidy up setting payment types (drop downs now rather than input boxes). Add setting of a credit card landing page.
- Add support for tags with square brackets [ ]. The html-comment version of tags will be removed in an upcoming release
Google support is minimal so far. It’s one-way integration at the moment (allowing customers to submit an order through Google Checkout) — with no automated return path for handling purchase. That will come with a later release.
These updates hopefully make configuration a lot more user-friendly — particularly the changes to the Payment Types. Note that if you decide to upgrade, please make sure you backup your installation, and you double-check all your configuration options after upgrading.
YAK version 1.1.0-experimental can be downloaded from the WordPress Extend site.
