Update to Easy Extras

Hello, if you purchased any of the easy extra’s there’s an update for you.

So what’s in the update?
Just a few bug fixes, removal of some of the WordPress Hooks and Functions (code) that will be deprecated in the upcoming version of WordPress, version 3.3.

The code has been tested and works great on both 3.2 and the development version 3.3-beta2-19067.

Don’t know how to update?
Assuming you have purchased the Extra just find the receipt email and follow the link to your online receipt.
Once there you’ll see the download link.
Download the zip file(s) and upload them through the Uploader in the Easy Sign Up plugin’s control panel.

See the video at BeforeSite for details.

Easy Sign Up v2

Easy Sign Up WordPress Plugin is about to be upgrade to Version Two

If you don’t have the current version of the easy sign up plugin you can get it from WordPress.org

Updates will include:

The Default Heading is Gone
- Just add your own headings in the short code
Custom Fast Form Validation
- No more jQuery
- I’ve written a very light weight validator that will:
  - Speed up your site
  - Stop clashes with a few other plugins and themes that don’t use the no-conflict mode (more on that later)
Added Support for the WordPress Email Functi0n
- The plugin used to use the native PHP mail function but I have one user who’s host did not allow unauthenticated smtp access on his server. So he used the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin.
  Long story short – I wrote a custom script for him.
- So Rob this on is for you mate 😉
Language Translation Support
Cleaned Up the User Interface
- Move the Options link out of the Tools menu and into it’s very own spot

Online Ticket System using FoxyCart

Last week I got to create a fun little ticketing system using FoxyCart for an event at a historic mansion in Virginia.

The Need:

The client requested a inexpensive ticketing system that could be integrated into his website with no need for a SSL certificate.
Branded Event Tickets needed to be generated and displayed for printing to the purchaser.
Each Ticket needed an unique ID number and purchaser’s name printed on it.
Client required a spread sheet print out of ticket numbers and names to check against tickets at the event.

BeforeSite

Before Site is a service targeted at great graphic designers who need an inexpensive web developer.

The Logo was created in Adobe Illustrator.
The Web Site was laid out in Adobe PhotoShop.

The site makes use of the following web technologies:

Valid xHTML
Cascading Style Sheets, CSS2 and CSS3
JQuery the JavaScript framework
PHP5 with the Code Igniter php Framework
MySQL database
PayPal Shopping Cart

Sherrill Designs

Sherrill is a Colorado artist who designs and creates jewelry, she has a knack for recycling old jewelry and turning them into unique one-of-a-kind piece. The challenge was to create a website with a shopping cart as unique as Sherrill’s designs.

The Solution (ASP, Database & PayPal)

The website was designed to be funky and feminine to parallel Sherrill’s jewelry.

I incorporated a custom built shopping cart as the “off the shelf” options would have compromised the design and made it look like a template or cookie cutter website, which was definitely not the goal of the website.
