Abysmal quality

  • I have wasted countless hours fixing bugs in this plugin. Just yesterday I was notified of an issue with a website with wpec 3.9. Hours later, I find the bug in wpec core code. Just to be sure, I downloaded the latest version, 3.9.5. It contains the same bug. I am *not* describing what the bug is–I refuse to do unpaid QA/code maintenance for getshopped.org. I tried the Support > Jobs link in getshopped.org site, figuring they could use my services, and guess what? The page doesn’t exist.

  • You can submit issues and bug fixes here:
    https://github.com/wp-e-commerce/

    You can see that the WPEC developers are participating and using github everyday. Since the WP e-Commerce Plugin is open source I’m sure that they would love your help and support.

    Using the right channels WPEC is your Plugin too ??

    Before then, you could submit issues to code.google.com. It so happens that in Aug. 2011, I submitted a request to modify code that was breaking a theme. Here’s the discussion (you may need to login to read it): https://code.google.com/p/wp-e-commerce/issues/detail?id=564#c11

    I just checked the code in question–they still haven’t implemented my suggestion.

    Hi there.

    Sorry you had a bad experience using Google Code. Things have been improved… new team… new support systems… and new tools at Github. Please, I would encourage you to have a crack at submitting your issues / code in Github.

    The guys have overhauled the way they handle issues and requests and I’m sure things will get looked at in Github a lot more promptly.

    Since I was asked politely twice, I will oblige. But for the record, allow me to insert the code & the proposed fix here, since it consists of just one line, before following up at Github.

    wpsc-widgets/shopping_cart_widget.php line 83 is:
    <div class="wpsc_cart_loading"><p><?php _e( 'Loading...', 'wpsc' ); ?></p>

    it should be:
    <div class="wpsc_cart_loading"><p><?php _e( 'Loading...', 'wpsc' ); ?></p></div>

    This was causing the page footer to display in the middle of the page on a site I worked on. I traced it down after the page did not validate with the w3c validator.

    Hi Yitwail,

    Thanks for following up here.

    I looked up your issue on GitHub – https://github.com/wp-e-commerce/WP-e-Commerce/issues/97

    Looks like it was closed out a day after you reported it. The fix will be in our next release. Thanks for reporting!
