Today i will present to you the beta for 4.5.
While working on the features for 5.0 i got stuck. Mostly on the filter feeds which a lot of people have requested. I have not found a way to do it with all the different possible feeds. (If you work a lot in PHP and you think you can help me, please let me know 🙂 )
But i have made a lot of changes so i will bring out 4.5. First as a beta to get it tested and if everything is working i will do a proper release at the end of october.
Changes in this version:
– Price filter for visitors on your site
Here people can filter the products between 2 price ranges.
When you add a store to a page/post the short code for this filter is also added. You can add it manually using this short code [display_filter store="XXXX"] where XXXX is your stores number
– Page filter for visitors on your site
Here people can select which page they want to go to
When you add a store to a page/post the short code for this filter is also added. You can add it manually using this short code [display_pages store="XXXX"] where XXXX is your stores number
– Amount of items per page dropdown
Here people can select how many items they want on one page.
When you add a store to a page/post the short code for this filter is also added. You can add it manually using this short code [user_pages store="XXXX"] where XXXX is your stores number
– New way of adding XML feeds
The way the links to the xml feeds are stored is completely redone. Now it is easier to remove a feed without it breaking other things.
– New way of item selection
This is not a visible thing. But the item selection has been redone on the background. Now you are able to select more items without it causing some memory errors. You will also see that the item selection tool is not slower when you have selected a high amount of items.
And some more smaller changes in the background like:
– Debug will show last runs memory usage
– Update now will show memory usage
– Some minor tweaks for the import algoritme so it hopefully works on sites with lower amount of memory
You can find the beta on the following location:
This has now been released as version 4.5.1
How to install it
1) Connect to your FTP
2) Browse to wp-content/plugins/
3) Extract the zip file from the above link somewhere on your pc.
4) You should now have a folder called tradetracker-store on your pc with all kinds of files in it.
5) Copy the tradetracker-store in to the FTP. You can overwrite the old files.
Important: Please keep in mind this is a beta version. I have tested it on multiple of my sites and did not find any issues with it. It can however still happen that something is not working properly. It will make some changes in the selected items and the stored XML feeds. It will try to save the old values in the database as a backup but that can always go wrong.
So if you run into any issues please send me an email and i will try to solve it. Even if it is only a small issue. Please also leave a comment below if you are going to try the beta so that i know who is trying it.
how do I clear the Database filled with 1436593 new items on 2012-09-14 08:22:28 Update now or run update in background
Hi,
If you do a Update now it will re-import all items from the XML feeds you filled in. The message telling you when the last update is run and giving you the update to update will always stay visible in the TTstore admin menu. This is the way to manually re-import the items.

My little cart on the visual editor has gone missing since the update how can I get it back or is the another way to add store? thanks
Hi,
Does it give an error on the location where the cart should be?
Robert
when i tried it today surprisingly It appeared it self, do you know if it is not posiable to search products as i had a real hard time to search products in the last version. thanks
You mean search for items in the item selection tool ? That option should still be there. (left top corner in the item selection tool in the admin menu)
