Contributor Request
Double-posting here and on the WP site.
I’m finding I have little time to work on YAK lately, for anything other than for bug fixes. There are a bunch of features I’d like to add, but unfortunately no time to work on them.
If you’re interested in helping out, and/or have features you want to add yourself — get in touch.

Is it possible to show a report of the item/s the buyer bought?
I am develloping a bunch of websites based on wordpress ment for e-commerce. I am from Romania.
I’d like to thank you for YAK plugin and to let you know that I have tried all the others and none of them work properly on the latest WP platform. Either they don’t work at all, or they are not thought well through. I think I made a good choice on yours!
My proposals are this:
1. Give me some excell based file that I can translate your plugin into Romanian, and then you may include it as an optional language file. I need it and I think that everyone can use it. I’ve noticed that once installed,you get the native WP language. Could you make it selectable?(I don’t know where I can select other languages, though they are probably available if WP was not in english)
2. I want a pretty common option, but I can’t help you on this one though
– discount based on Quantity 
for example: 1 piece=20$, discount filtered: 10 pieces =15$. It is a very practiced procedure in marketing and you should include it. I think you can make a nice plugin out of YAK – one even better then e-commerce 
Well there’s no Excel file, but there is a PO file (yak-XX.po) which contains all the translatable text in the plugin. If you look in the YAK directory, you’ll see a whole bunch of other translations (japanese, thai, german, etc) as examples. You should probably do some reading on the WordPress site about how to get WP working with Romanian — it’s basically editing the wp-config.php file and specifying the correct country code.
I’ve done the po and mo files in romanian, but still no luck. I’ve switched WP language to es_ES (spanish) for a test, and so I’ve noticed that the WP language changes but the plugin’s does not sincronize to wp-config.php file. It just stays on default english. I don’t think it uses any of the po and mo files you’ve included. For other languages. I still don’t know how to help us.
It works for me. Although it depends on how up-to-date the translation is. Some of the translation files are a little out of date. Try the italian, for example (set WP_LANG to “it”).
Hi Jason,
I am interested to collaborate. What can I do?
Send me an email (see the Contact page) and we can talk further. Thanks!
I have just started working on my first YAK enabled site after having installed wp e-commerce and shopp on two previous projects.
I use WP as content management for ‘websites’ as opposed to ‘blogs’. I found both of these options to not be suitable to my needs as I just don’t have enough control over the way the shop is presented (in terms of functionality). WP E-commerce is hideously clumsy from a designer’s point of view and Shopp, though solid and very well scripted, is TOO rigid, relying on pages to display ALL of its content, meaning template appearance is tricky to control.
What I like about YAK is the ability to make any post a ‘shop’ post, and that I can add all kinds of custom fields to the post page in the wp backend to pull into the store page.
My suggestion would be to split the ‘engine’ of the plugin with the ‘display’. What I mean is that for example Shopp gives you templates that you can store in your theme’s folder to manipulate how the content is displayed. This protects the theme from any functionality changes with the plugin. It would also allow developers to more easily create their own themes with YAK functionality.
I would also suggest being able to turn off the theme’s js in the admin panel.
Otherwise I will keep working on my site, and let you know the results.
Hi Neils
That’s a good idea actually. I’ll have to give it some further thought as to how much effort, and how I might go about implementing it — certainly one for the roadmap anyway…
