[wp-pro] Work needed: ironing out some bugs

[Dan Milward]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to say that the latest version of WP e-Commerce uses a new 
jQuery function called jQuery.noConflict(); which should solve all 
jQuery related javascript  wp e-commerce bugs. This is available for 
download now: www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce

I have been suggesting to everybody these days that they use jQuery 
powered plugins so as to avoid future conflicts. I have been saying this 
because I believe WordPress 2.3 will be using jQuery instead of 
scriptaculous.

If anybody needs wp e-commerce help then they should contact us directly 
(given we made it). In saying that we've had a major issue with emails 
being lost - this is now resolved (heads rolled) so feel free to email 
me and my apologies if I've not replied to an email recently...

While I'm at it I better plug our new ajax powered DropShop module... 
give it a go :))

Ciao,

Dan
