    • New Themes created as Canvas Child Themes

      Magnus suggested on the blog that Woo were considering making Canvas child themes

      "We’ve toyed with the idea of making child themes for Canvas with different designs."

      http://www.woothemes.com/2013/04/pruning-our-themes-catalog/#comment-505082

      I for one spend most my days making Canvas child themes and love this idea!

      I guess you might argue this was similar to the StudioPress/Genesis approach.

            We’re working on a bunch of css tweaks in 2.1 which includes making the default wc stylesheet responsive. You will be able to change the breakpoint via a filter.

            • Excerpt Option for Canvas Portfolio Page Template

              I'd love to be able to display descriptions of each portfolio item on the Portfolio Page template.

              At present the image and title are displayed.

              An excerpt option would add two things:
              a) the excerpt input area when adding a new portfolio post
              b) display of the excerpt on the portfolio page template under each portfolio item

              • Add an additional level to the course/lesson hierarchy in Sensei

                Courses, these days, typically have a finer grain to them than just course and lessons. Rather, a course consists of topics that in turn might have a number of (short) lessons associated with each topic.

                • Woocommerce Shipwire Shipping Provider Control Options

                  Woocommerce Shipwire Shipping Provider Control Options
                  It's be great is the shipwire plugin would let me pick-n-choose what shipping options to show customers. For example: I only want customers to have see the first-class USPS options and not the USPS express options. Having more control to turn off various mail carriers as needed would also be great. Thanks for your consideration to making a great plugin even better.

                    • Reciprocal Cross-Selling in WooCommerce

                      Often time you may carry a new product that is specifically suited or designed to go with another product. As it stands now, you would have to make each product a cross-sell of the other. It would be nice to have the option of automatically making a cross-sell reciprocal.

                      • Make prettyPhoto lightbox work with wordpress > 3.5 gallery

                        When you activate PrettyPhoto lighbox script under "Dynamic Images > Thumbnail Settings" it does not work on WP 3.5 image galleries. It would be great if you could fix that, otherwise one needs to install an additional lightbox scripts which bloats up the website.

                          • Photo proofing plugin

                            I could really use a photo proofing plugin and I know there is a lot of demand for this after searching for a long time. It should be possible for the photographers clients to log in and pick there favorites from a photo session and leave comments for the retoucher. The possibility to pay for a selection to print or download the files.

                              • Styled vertical submenu to Canvas... or all Woo themes

                                I have only seen this done in one themedesign so far, its in a theme named Avada and it is the most sold WP theme on Themeforest.

                                The idea is this: You add a new page to your site, you choose a parent page, then select page template as "Sidebar menu".

                                Bingo! You have a beutiful styled submenu that is only displayed under this parent page.

                                There should also be an option to choose if this submenu should in left or right sidebar.

                                So easy to maintain

                                  • Canvas option for responsive but not fluid

                                    I would love to see an option to make Canvas responsive but not fluid. i.e. retain 3 fixed width layouts: 1. desktop, 2. tablets in portrait and 3. mobiles.

                                    As I understand it, Canvas currently only has the ability to switch responsive on or off...

                                      • FirstData's ValueLink Gift cards in Gateway Extension

                                        It would be great to see FirstData's ValueLink Gift card program built into the FirstData gateway extension as an option of accepted payment. I have 2 clients right now that use this gift card system.

                                        • WooCommerce Google Product Feed - Multi-Feed for more than one country

                                          WooCommerce Google Product Feed - Multi-Feed for more than one country. At the moment only one feed can be created, so if creating a merchant product feed for the UK and them wanting to show the products in another country, say the US, then the Google merchant centre will not allow the same feed name used twice, it needs to have another name, even if just altered by one letter or number. It would be very useful if you can select the number of feed names you want to create and submit them accordingly.
