RSS Image Widget

I’ve just created a new widget as a plugin using the Simplepie WordPress plugin for the RSS feed logic.

You can specify how many images you want to display, and a sample template is provided to get you started, though it should be more than good enough for what you need.

It comes with the latest version of PHPThumb to generate good-looking thumbnails. You can see the value 150 in the sample template – this sets the width – a value you may change yourself.

QuickShop

2.5-ready QuickShop is here!

You can view it running on a live site.

I’ve just created a plugin for WordPress called QuickShop and released it under the GPL. You can find it at WordPress Extend. This plugin installs a Sidebar Widget which shows the items in the cart and allows you to remove them, as well as allowing you to place tags in your posts which generate a form button to add products to the cart.

I have integrated it with the WP-GBCF contact form and more information about that can be found in the README. It inserts the cart contents into the message field with amounts for users to edit. You can also integrate it with other solutions if you like…

If you need the Paypal changed to your currency of choice let me know. I will eventually be providing an admin interface to change the currency, but as of right now you can only change the currency in the code itself.

Need help or want it enhanced? Just contact me! Some people want CFormsII support. I’m afraid that I can’t offer this for free as CForms is a bit more complicated than simple text substitution.

Also, despite running a business, I devote a significant amount of time into this plugin for you, my clients, and myself, and give it to you people for free. If you feel generous you may donate through Paypal, you could link back, or you could ask me to work on your site.

Credo Trust – QuickShop Plugin, Theme

Credo TrustCredo Trust was designed as a mini shopping cart site. It uses posts to collate the products and the NextGen gallery for images, as well as search-engine friendly plugins and the WP-GBCF form.

I created a plugin called QuickShop for this site which works by allowing you to put a tag in your post with the name of your product. This generates a form button called ‘Add to Cart’ which puts the product into the cart. I also created a sidebar widget for the plugin which shows the items currently in the cart. When the user is ready, all they need to do is go to the contact page or click on ‘Proceed to Checkout’. I made this link to the contact form where I integrated WP-GBCF, a contact form plugin for WordPress, into QuickShop. The contents of the cart are loaded into the body of the message with amounts allowing for the customer to easily edit everything, and upon sending the form the cart is cleared. This is fine as the client wishes to use direct debit only.
