sg-motorsport's Issues

Support co-existence of [bw_contact_form] with Easy WP SMTP

Requirement

Use [bw_contact_form] shortcode in conjunction with easy-wp-smtp.

Explanation

The Easy WP SMTP plugin overrides the from email address (and optionally name) with its own value.
This means that the email sent using [bw_contact_form] does not contain the form submitter's email address. Obviously this information is needed in order to construct a reply.

Solution

Include the following code in functions.php

add_filter( 'bw_email_message', 'sgm_bw_email_message', 11, 2 );
/**
 * Appends From email and contact name to the contact form message
 * 
 * Needed since easy-wp-smtp overrides the From email address.      
 * Since we're in the 'bw_email_message' filter we expect bw_replace_fields to be available.
 *  
 * @param string $message the email content
 * @param array $fields array of name value pairs
 * @return string updated message 
 */
function sgm_bw_email_message( $message, $fields ) {
	bw_trace2();
	$extra_bits = bw_replace_fields( "<br />From: %from%<br />Name: %contact%", $fields );
	$message .= $extra_bits;
	return $message;
}

Create new theme to replace Canvas

Canvas is being replaced by Storefront. We need to create a new child theme using Storefront as the template.

Requirements

• Support shortcodes
• Support checkout customisations - currently implemented using a plugin
• Needs custom CSS for responsive styling of extension plugin components.
• Needs custom CSS for styling on the iPhone 4S and other small devices

If required,

• Support caching and optimisation plugins

Implement quantity field for home and shop page

We need to continue to support the ability to choose the quantity when adding to the cart from the home or shop page.

Current implementation

https://github.com/bobbingwide/woocommerce-thumbnail-input-quantities
doesn't actually work. It displays the quantity field but doesn't pass the value through.

Proposed solution

https://wordpress.org/plugins/quantity-field-on-shop-page-for-woocommerce
works. But

• it produces Notices when WP_DEBUG true
• it has more code than we need

So, rather than change it, we can just copy the relevant code to the child theme.

Since in the current implementation the add to cart functionality takes the user to the Shopping cart
we don't need any special AJAX logic to update the values or messages on the current page.
So all we need to do is to implement the logic for the filter 'woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link.

The wordpress.org plugin called quantity-field-on-shop-page-for-woocommerce
