I also get this weird issue

using Gutenberg

editing the meta Description

the cursor gets reset to the last block I was editing in the page every time I pause… it’ll drive ya crazy.

I see, thanks for the reply! I’ll just update through git merges until you finalize a post wp3 version. Thanks!

OK, so by looking at the “view categories” page I was able to see that categories are constructed thus:

https://[domain.com]/ad-list/browse-categories/[category-id]/[permalink-category-name]/

…so I can use this for creating a WP menu from static links, but it would be great if the link generator used the wordpress standard menu creating system.

k… I’ll try to debug my code when I have a spare minute.

Sorry about the errors… as I mentioned, its not tested. I am sure there are errors ?? It appears that most of the errors stem from me not checking variable input types. The fist error must be me feeding array_slice() params in the wrong order. I only use that function once, so you can grep for it and fix it.

Not much I can do about it since I don’t personally have a paid Ecwid account. Another cool thing about FoxyCart is that it allows developers full free access to the entire system. You only pay when you actually start selling.

Edit to add:

I also remember seeing something in the Ecwid forums about a store ID you can use for developing that has the API access? Are you aware of this?

^^^ Didn’t see that, can you link this page?

@fkie, I don’t know… the method I used was:

https://app.ecwid.com/api/v1/STOREID/products?category=CATEGORYID

…and it told me I needed to upgrade to the paid account. Honestly, if I’m going to use a paid API, I’m going to use FoxyCart.

I posted the following thread in the Ecwid forum, but no comments or bumps so far, heh. Oh well, maybe free users don’t really care:

Well, the other guy in this thread (fkie) is the original author of the Random Products Widget. I assume he will use my Latest Products Widget as well. Maybe he will be willing to add a categories image view for you.

Yeah I think its cheap too. But so is FoxyCart. The beauty of ecwid is the free version… its the thing that sets them apart from everyone else. Oddly, they think of the API as a feature instead of an advertising venue. Oh well…

You can look at what I have done and extend it easily enough for yourself if you want.

@dax702… I get the idea, but I am not sure I am going to continue at this point. The API is not available to the free version… there doesn’t seem to be much point in making this a free extension.

I’m going over to the ecwid forum to pitch free for all api access…

Uhg… I’m an idiot. I didn’t know the Ecwid API was only for the paid version. Wonder why the “random” api call works for the free version?

Maybe I can rework this using the javascript api which I believe is open to all licenses.

Anyway… here is what I have done… its not tested, and it no longer works with the free version of ecwid. Bleh.

I have not included the image category nav completely yet, but I have got some of the needed functionality working. Can you point me to a site that uses a graphical (image based) navigation?

I am a bit at a loss as to how you are hoping this will look.

I thought I would have the plugin upgrades done last night… still debugging though.

Thought I would have it last night, but I am debugging now… knock on wood.

The module is still not completed… but I should have it done today.

Yes, I would love to give all the code to you if you want it. It is the type of thing that I need for a project but don’t really have any interest in maintaining.

Do you use git or svn? If you use git I can push updates to you. Otherwise I can just upload a tarball when I am done and you can integrate it as you see fit.

I see… for some reason I was thinking a grid page of category images. I got the module almost done on Thursday, but could not finish. I will work on it more on Sunday.

Can you make or find for me a nice graphical categories navigation example that I can use for css and html? That will help me with your request. I don’t think I would use it myself, but I do have requirements for the basic functionality (categories view).
