PayPal Promo Code Plugin Update
I recently updated a the PayPal Promo Code plugin to fix a few issues – and add a few requested items. This is not the complete rewrite that I have been talking about doing, but it addresses some of the concerns and issues that some of the users have been having. So alongside the WordPress release of 3.0 today, I have decided to add the latest version to the site for everyone to download. Best of luck!
Some notes on this new version:
- You can now style the buttons using your own style sheet. To change the default look (which is a little different than previous versions) and create your own, copy the pppcode-styles.css file from the plugin folder and add it to the theme root folder (keep the original in the plugin folder). Then change the styles as you need.
- There is now an option to have an “Add to Cart” button when creating buttons. Selecting it makes that button (and any others that use the add to cart buttons) function using the PayPal shopping cart method.
- A new shortcode was added to create a “View Cart” button in a post/page or widget text box (use
[pppviewcart]to make the button display) – this is only needed when using the Add To Cart buttons – as you need a way to checkout. - When assigning buttons to the PromoCodes, there is now a more simplistic jQuery feature when adding or editing the promocode.
- You can now add PayPal buttons to text Widgets in a sidebar (old bug issue fixed).
- Added a collapsible help section (still adding items)
- Updated the version check to let you know when there is a new version (eventually I will move this to the WP Repository and eliminate this).
Quick Page Post Redirect Plugin Update 2.1
The latest version of the Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin is out. It fixes some problems with the Open in a New Window feature not working correctly, as well as fixing a few other glitches. Some of the functions were replaced to make the insertion of the rel and target attributes into the hyperlinks more accurate and efficient. I also did a little extra testing in the latest version of WordPress MU to make sure it was compatible there as well.
You can get the latest version here or from the WordPress plugin update. New users can also search plugins for “quick page post” to install the plugin directly from WordPress.
