  1. Google Authorship on auto in the theme

      • changelog link on theme options header doesn't point to the right page

        This is the case for the shelflife and one pager theme but probably more (maybe even all of them). Just to notify:)

        • Create My tickets tab in the my account section

          I find myself searching for my tickets, maybe it’ll be a good idea to create a tab ‘my tickets’ on the ‘my account’ page (that’s actually the place i find myself going to when i search my tickets). Even if it’s just a redirect it'll be enough.

            • Name your price working on variable products

              The Name You Price extension for Woocommerce is a good but severely limited by only working with simple products.

              Surely it would be possible to get it to work with either a single variation or the total price of a variable product with the minimum price being set by the selected variations.

              • Enable WooFramework to select your child-themes alternative colors in WooOptions

                WooThemes recommend to use child-themes to customize themes. Most of your themes offer to select your themes alternative color scheme in Theme Options.

                You could create your own /style folder with alternative colors in the child-themes directory, however WooFramework will not recognize your custom stylesheets.

                I guess it should be pretty simple to code this kind of check it into the woo_output_alt_stylesheet function in functions/admin-setup.php

                This would make child-themes even more reasonable! Thanks guys!

                • Shopping Cart Shipping Rates

                  Hi... I am using the woocommerce shopping cart plugin.
                  Generally the shipping is charged by weight or size of the product in India.
                  There is always a minimum charge from the shipping company of 1/2 - 1 kg even if the weight is less than that.
                  If the product is less than the minimum weight, we do not have any option to fix a minimum shipping rate.
                  Is there any option to do that? If not then that should be added.

                  • Add text overlay to Slide type in WooSlider

                    You can accomplish a text overlay on top of an image with WooSlider using the Post slide type, but this isn't possible with the Slide type. I would suggest adding more options to the Slide type in WooSlider so you can overlay text on top of an image. I've found it confusing for some users when you have to explain to them that they edit images and text in their slides under "Posts" instead of "Slides" in wp-admin.

                    • Move "Reset All Theme Options"

                      I would love for "Reset" to be removed from Theme Options. It could be made available in the Woo submenu instead (where Theme Options, Framework Settings, etc. are). I had a client accidentally hit Reset this morning :-(

                      • how about an amazon like feature where a customer returns and is displayed a list of related products from previous purchases or searches.

                        I would like to see a plugin that would display suggested products to a returning customer based on their previous purchases or searches. Petty much like when you return to eBay or amazon.

                        • Add necessary filter for full customization of custom metaboxes to Canvas

                          Add necessary filter for full customization of custom metaboxes:

                          It looks to me like there was SOME intention to allow developers to extend the custom metaboxes, but I'm seeing a problem. In admin-custom.php, there is a function to display the metabox "Canvas Custom Settings". There are filters to allow me to extend both the tabs and the tab panels. I have that working, see the attachment (red arrow for tabs, orange for tab panels.)

                          The problem is when I make changes and want to save the data. That's done in the woothemes_metabox_handle() function. That function calls up the woo_custom_template option…

                          • "Request a shipping quote" shipping extension

                            I'd like a method of submitting a product configuration to the site admin for a shipping quote, which would then allow the user to receive a shipping quote, apply it to their order, and allow them to make payment based on the total cost of product + shipping.

                                • Align the bottom of shop products on main shop page in themes like PixelPress where there is a frame around the product.

                                  With PixelPress and other themes which render a frame around a product in the main shop page, the bottom of the frame varies in its location based on the typography in the product description, and the buy button aligns with the bottom so they can appear at any height. This looks sloppy. It would be great to have a grid system that determines the overall height of the product frame so that at least the bottom would appear at a grid-determined distance, giving it some visual coherence, and it would also be nice to have the buttons appear before the…

                                    • Add option to include search box in Canvas menu

                                      I was surprised to not find the ability to place a WordPress search box in the menu bar for the Canvas theme. Maybe I missed it in the various options...still looking...but this would be a helpful upgrade.

                                      • Testimonials by ID - allow more than one testimonial to be specified

                                        Currently in the testimonials plug in only one testimonial can be specified by ID.

                                        It would be good if you could specify multiple Testimonials.

                                        For example

                                        You have 6 testimonials, set to display 3 maximum in a widgetised area
                                        That will always only display the first three testimonials - so the over 3 will never be seen and your customers are always seeing the same testimonials

                                        Please vote this up if you want people to see many testimonials for your excellent company!

                                        • Widgets that work like the Footer Widgets (e.g. page template?)

                                          There was a popular idea about widgetizing the home page of Canvas and I realize it's been completed, but if the widgets (on a page template maybe?) worked more like the footer widgets (e.g. able to choose 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and were then styled (1 column @ 100%, 2 columns @ 50% etc.) we could turn any page into a "portal" page for widgets.

                                          I show what I'm talking about here:
