Catchy title eh! It’s difficult to name such a post but I have just diagnosed a client’s site and realised that there was a bit of an error in the WPEC (WPSC) table rate shipping module. Reading the code it looks like the table rate module is designed to be used exclusively or in conjunction with a secondary service. The flaw I have found is that table rate is coded to always return a price regardless of whether you want one or not. Basically my client wanted to use the weight shipping module for all postage except if the cart … Continue reading
How to fix the flaw in the WP Ecommerce table rate shipping module

January 5th, 2012 by Sean No comments »It’s been on the cards for months and WordPress has finally added the inbuilt function whereby CSS files declared on the front end are now also declared on the edit item (post/page/custom post type) pages within the admin system. This is wonderful for some but, as someone who looks at a fair few sites using a range of free, premium and bespoke themes, actually it’s a curse in disguise. Let me explain… Let’s say you go to the WordPress theme repository and grab a nice free theme which has been written by a developer less than ‘au fait’ with WordPress … Continue reading

January 1st, 2012 by Sean No comments »Hi all. Happy new year etc.. I have plenty of plans for the next 12 months but won’t go into them unlike every other person with a blog is undoubtedly doing at the moment.

I have had an interesting problem for some months now which I have just solved albeit crudely! I have written several plugins and released them into the WordPress plugin repository … Continue reading
WordPress SB Auth Admin V1.3 (minor update)
December 22nd, 2011 by Sean No comments »I wrote a post about this a couple of days ago attributing some custom work to a client of mine. It seems that now other people (person) are (is) coming forward with more changes. This little time saver was sent to me which adds a quantity input box and a loop to add the key as many times as you want when adding a manual key. So, for example, let’s say you are offering a particular client 50 licenses for free (for some reason) and are doing it ‘off the books’ so to spean but don’t want to have to … Continue reading
WordPress SB Auth Admin Update (V1.2)
December 18th, 2011 by Sean 2 comments »Regular readers (or anyone Googling for free authentication systems for WordPress or PHP Projects to be honest) might have heard of my SB Auth Admin plugin which I talked about here. I have had a few comments and emails about it with people wanting to integrate it into their own sites and querying compatibility with additional Payment Processors. It only supported E-Junkie before which costs a few dollars a month I think. I have just been informed by a client of mine that it also works with JV Zoo. This is good news indeed seeing as this doesn’t cost per … Continue reading
SB Tell a Friend Widget
November 30th, 2011 by Sean 4 comments »I was looking for a widget to allow people to tell their friends about a site for a client of mine and realised that any I found in the WordPress repository were forcing you to use a third party service to do such a simple job. I wrote this plugin to do just that. It creates a widget for you to use on your site which is very flexible and requires no signups or payments to anything. It was written for a recruitment company so the screenshot shows it in the job vacancy context. The title, intro paragraph (optional) and … Continue reading
