The first realse of this plugin was a quick build of the foundation really. Not much too it and buggy. I found a bug in 0.0.2 since its realease but it’s minor. Here is a list of changes since the first release, all making up to an interesting plugin I think. The next release will move closer to a premium edition with a lot of cool tools and functions for administrating products.

1. Product edit page with multiple views. Prices view shows each products base price and variations. Only works with custom fields, premium version may work with shortcodes if I can find a suitable approach.
2. Settings page added with the most required options. Premium edition will have more indepth settings for advanced e-commerce sites and intigration with other plugins.
3. Added various admin pages including video tutorials, updates and forum. All iFramed support pages from the WebTechGlobal website. Please visit them regularly for changes and information about the coming premium version.
4. Tools page added, so far only an uninstall button. Premium version will probably deliver most tools, I’m not letting it slip whats coming!
5. There is a new attribute called variations. This holds the total number of variation items you want to exist for a product.
6. Renamed all variables to do with variations (this one is developer information really).
7. Improved the widget/cart display. Looks normal, more options will come later in premium edition. Anyone wanting to change it will need to edit the plugins code or donate to WebTechGlobal for some help on that.
8. Installation error fixed.

The RomanCart on WordPress plugin is being released early so that the public may provide feedback on the direction we are going. By following the instructions laid out on how to create a new product plus the product page. Users should be able to quickly see a demonstration of the latest e-commerce plugin for WordPress. We look forward to everyones response and will be developing this plugin further. I have decided that the rest of the year will now be spent improving our entire plugin range plus customer services. The objective is to reduce administration for 2011 and focus more on development so we can bring more great plugins to you all.

Once again we have created a WordPress plugin with the less advanced user in mind. Combining RomanCart and WordPress, we created a plugin that allows you to create e-commerce websites easier than ever before when using the two together. Unlike any other RomanCart plugin for WordPress, this plugin has forms you simply fill out and submit. Your product is instantly saved and you’ll not only have a new page but the newly created page will display your product automatically. It’s so fast and easy, you might not even believe it at first so why not just give it a go. Download the free edition from the WordPress plugin directory or login to one of our test blogs.

Main Plugin Features

We aim to provide features that no other plugin offer and if there is anything you need we’ll do our best to add it. We also do custom upgrades or installation for a small fee.

• Create pages or posts when submitting a new product, product automatically adds to the post.
• Store product data in custom fields or use the shortcode method, flexability is what we do best.
• Do prices changes to multiple products on one page, reduced administration time.
• Add variations attribute and complete variation item prices on the edit page.
• Create as much variation items for each product as you want.
• Multiple styles allow product form to be displayed differently.
• More coming soon we’re just getting warmed up.

Support

Support pages will come later, we are currently planning tutorials.

• Link to tutorials page coming soon!
• Link to forum coming soon!
• Link to test blog coming soon!

We reviewed Star Trek Online on day one of the BETA and have played occasionally since, often lending out account to others so they can play for the first time. I can tell you that now is a great time to join an expanding universe, fly a varied list of ships, equip an endless choice of weapons and engage in battles that reall turn the heat up on you.

10 Reasons To Play Star Trek Online (STO)

1. Personalise and configure your own space ship. You can fly it in battle or enter the ship itself, for meetings with your team lets say. Upgrade to newer and better ships throughout your starfleet career.
2. Create and train an entire team of professional officers. Promote them, equip them with weapons or armour and use them in massive space battles or on the ground during away missions.
3. If your into the Star Trek series (you don’t have to be many players arent) then you might enjoy diplomatic missions and ranking in the diplomatic core. You can then enjoy perks of the job that others won’t have access to. Do you think you can impress the vulcans enough to earn respect as a diplomat?
4. Endless rewards, points, badges, emblems and marks to be collected as currency. Each type of currency comes from a different source and is spent on different things. It makes the game interesting, competitive and you can choose to focus on a specific area of play. For example you will get emblems in diplomatic missions only and some players will go down that path where some will collect hundreds.
5. Re-create those special moments from the Star Trek series series such as approaching DS9 for the first time, winning dabo or flying a run-about/shuttle craft. Maybe an exciting moment will be de-cloaking for the first time just as your about to unleash hell on the enemy.
6. Player versions player system provides arenas of action packed mayhem. If you like a challenge you’ll love playing 10 versus 10 in battles where the side with the best team work wins. Use every skill you have to not only keep yourself alive but help your team avoid destruction.
7. Fleet system, community interface and friends management is all there to make it that much more enjoyable. Some fleets have hundreds of members. They share weapons and consoles in the fleet bank so if your new contact a fleet for some support.
8. New content coming all the time, patches every week which improve the game and new playing systems being added.  Weekly episode missions are coming soon, there is just alway something to do.
9. Fight all the popular races including Romulans, Cardassians, Klingons and the Borg.
10. Choose to join the Klingon Defense Force or the Federation (Starfleet), play with a fully customised character, even play as a liberated borg.

As you can see, the categories show in the “Parent” menu but not in the standard category list on the right. When I delete the three categories on the right, the rest become visible. I can see no issues with the data, taxonomy matches fine.

I opened a forum post on the WordPress.org website and also found a WordPress Trac regarding this issue.

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software — to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

GNU General Public License Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution, and Modification

1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   1. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
   2. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
   3. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

   These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
   1. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
   2. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
   3. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
12. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

The GPL License allowed WordPress to be the success that it is and without that global success there would be no business opportunity for us. That is something we respect greatly and would like to promote in the way it was intended. We are keen to develop many free solutions for ever product and support the WordPress community. We strongly believe that many people need more support, support that is not of high quality because it is generally free. Forums and blogs can be used to piece solutions together but we find a large number of people do not have the coding knowledge or general internet experiance to perform a lot of tasks.

During 2011 we aim to increase our WordPress activity, support the community more without any fee involved but also continue to sell plugins such as Easy CSV Importer which helps to finance much of our support. Profit is invested in doing just that and we believe those profiting from anything built on the WordPress content management system/blogging platform should invest profits into the community while cover their own costs in order to exist. We have attempted to provide such support during 2010 but low funding leaves us struggling to see things through and help members of the community get the complete blog they desire. This can range from e-commerce websites to unique online services, such sites require extension technical knowledge and experience. So although WordPress itself is under the GPL License we do believe we are correct in charging for a minority of what we offer.

If you would like to help us provide free support by acting as a member of WebTechGlobal Ltd, especially in our forum then please contact us. Help us promote WordPress, the GPL License for standard type plugins or themes, increase the accuracy of WordPress online documentation and create a system where we can complete community members websites with them as a team.

• Flash
• Ajax
• WordPress
• PHP, HTML, CSS (combined)
• Photoshop
• Fireworks
• API’s
• Banner design (we use many on Google AdWords)
• SEO and Marketing

We can create work just to keep you busy there is always something to be done. You can get extrae money in your pocket and create content for your portfolio that we will also endorse. Our goal is to find people who enjoy working with us so much that they aim to be part of the team. This gives you the opportunity of filling gaps or strengthening weakness in our team skill set in a way that we can’t refuse you a permanent position. However this cannot happen over night and it could take many months for us to gauge your ability enough to make a decision on your future with us.

Usual Process & Expectations

• Approximately 12 months of weekly work with us (daily not required), can be split over 4 years of study, 3 months per year. This gives us an idea of your long term ambition, how you cope with changes and the chance for you to engage in a variety of projects so we can see your abilities over the course of your studies.
• Review on how well you communicate with myself mainly (Ryan Bayne), other team members, customers and clients. Everyone in WebTechGlobal Ltd is required to provide after sale support to their own customers where your knowledge of a product allows it.
• Review on your ability to learn, understand and use information on the internet to better yourself or WebTechGlobal. There are many opportunities, niches, demands and methods in all disciplines that involve the internet or computing. We are keen to hire people or possibly make them a partner in business if they show innovation or even just the ability to take full advantage of resources.
• Review your ability to use support services or software for marketing, administration etc.
• Review your ability to drive a product, increase sales, create marketing strategies which suit the product and promote WebTechGlobal Ltd in a positive way.

Application

Simply contact us by e-mail and we’ll do our best to arrange something for you. We usually make payments using Paypal so please have an account ready if possible. It will not get serious fast, we understand you have other responsibilities and will give you the chance to refuse a project. We can then offer other projects or tasks. As we get to know you and trust your ability we can provide more tasks, possibly even full solo projects such as small website for our clients. This is obviously outsourcing and it would require you to be paid a large percentage of the fee’s charged. We will also support you where possible without it effecting what you are paid, simply to help your progress to becoming a part of the team on a long term basis.

Payment

There is no fixed fee and you will not be paid hourly generally because we cannot afford to cover your self teaching when involved in new technology or services etc. We try to offer projects that come with no deadlines, little pressure and can be done when your studies allow it. On this basis we will often simply give token payments when you hit milestones and a bonus on completion. Most projects will not be for clients, it may be for WebTechGlobal. You may be asked to do basic things such as improve accessability of forms, navigation etc. You may even be asked to simply re-write pages so they contain more keywords for better SEO. The range of tasks are endless and will all give you an insight into how attention to detail is important. When your ready for a large project we’ll be happy to offer one at an agreed price.

About Myself…The Director

My name is Ryan Bayne and I begin planning WebTechGlobal while studying at the University of Abertay in Dundee. Part of the way through my 4th year of study I was to become a father and naturally increased my plans for WebTechGlobal Ltd as it was to become by September 2009, at the same time I became a father. Obviously I had serious incentive to make things work, have an income while still continuing my ambition at the same time. It was not easy, it has not got easier and I doubt it will get easier anytime soon. I had no option but to be on Job Seekers allowance while I also done some groundwork for WebTechGlobal, nothing paid to me for for months apart from Job Seekers allowance. That is where I started really, less than £400 a month and a kid to feed. My point is to tell others in similiar situations that it can get better, you can make more money and it is worth it. I never even finished University and the years that I did do never resulted in high grades, medium grade student basically. But with the right attitude and enough effort, maybe some sacrifice…anyone can do it. I’m looking for people with the attitude to not only believe that but make it happen. I would much rather offer positions and partnership to people in my situation, young people who know todays technology well and have the energy to make WebTechGlobal Ltd strong enough to compete globally not just locally.

Start Your Portfolio

This is an important requirement to work with myself. You must be ready to start a portfolio and work on it with our help. We can provide hosting to get you started and even purchase a domain for you. You might ask why?! Well I want to see the pride you take in your work and I don’t believe there is any reason to wait. Your portfolio can be planned and a basic site begun until your ready to create something with ajax gallery effects and other common portfolio effects. You can even buy a ready made template like I often have because making your own website is not paid for especially if it is for a Content Management System such as WordPress.
