Another beta version is ready, with several important bugs fixed and few more minor features added. All reported bugs so far should be taken care of, theme templates creation is improved and plugin can now track visits to compare pages and which products were compared.
Warning: Plugin is not yet completed, and it is not recommended to use it on the live websites. Right now, from all the planned features for 1.0.0 release, admin side is 90% done, and front end is 90% done.
Bugs fixed in this version include: you can change product type name (this is fixed, and name can be changed only if no products are added for the product type), product type name wasn’t cleaned up properly and it could have empty spaces left in, built in default theme templates for TwentyTen and TwentyEleven themes had some problems causing product pages to appear empty (new templates are added) and some of the integration functions had minor issues that are now also fixed.
Plugin front page is beginning to take shape, and on the right you can see detail screenshot of that page showing registered product types with basic information.
When adding templates to the theme, you can now use overwrite option, to create templates again and revert them to default state (useful to fix issues with previous version broken templates). Also, after you edit product type, you will get direct option to create theme templates. Each product now has a simple meta box to display pages statistics and how many times each of the product pages has been displayed.
Compare pages got own tracking now, and each time a compare page is displayed, plugin will save information about products compared, user ID (if logged in), user IP and time.
Important: If you had problems with theme templates created with previous plugin version, you need to create them again. Plugin has a theme template option to overwrite old templates with fixed ones.
