FAQ
Q. Why is this so clunky
A. This plugin is still in BETA. Please feel free to visit my page and submit some comments and suggestions 
Q. Are there other plugins that works!
A. This works! I am currently using it in a live environment - however - it IS clunky...
I wrote is because I couldn't find any other plugins that does the same (simple list of products - no shopping cart - no fancy setup).
If you find a solution that's easy to use, feel free to tell me and I'll happily stop wasting my time re-inventing the wheel

Hello there…
What does this plugin do exactly? Is there any documentation?
Thanks!
Still early version, I only released it for comments and because several people was looking for a solution like this… which is:
“I have a number of items I want to display on a product-page/shopping-cart-LIKE page, but I don’t want to install and maintain a full shopping cart.”
Documentation is on the way, right now it’s just for preview/test (although it DOES work
j-
may i know if this plugin compatible with wordpress version 2.8 ++ or not?
is there any screen shot available?
I’ll make documentation and screenshot sometime during this week (or next weekend)
[...] of the Universe HomeWordPressNoShop PluginBlogDownloads Assembly generation failed — Referenced assembly does not have a strong [...]
still waiting for the documentation..abit afraid to try it coz i dunno whether it compatible with wordpress version 2.8.2. nevertheless im hoping this is the plugin that i’ve been searching for.
I dont have a 2.8.2 test bed available
, but I don’t think I am using any 3.0 + WP features. If I can find the time one day I’ll see if I can install a 2.8.2 version.
(But, you really should upgrade… 3.0 is awesome
i’ve already download and activate the plugin on my wordpress page.seems the plugin installation is ok. waiting for the your documentation and some screen shot . thanks!
Dang, missed this comment. Glad it works
I would appreciate it if you would mark it “Working” in the plugins directory 
Hi, great work on the plugin. It’s working really well for me (I changed the output list format to be a table and am currently trying to add a field to the product form). I just want to know, how do I delete a product?
Thanks
In my todo list is custom template for the output, so if you have a good looking end result I wouldn’t mind including it with the plugin.
Regarding deleting – you use the magic button. It’s magic because it’s not in the code yet, but is also on my todo
I will see if I can get that part pushed out today.
I don’t mind sharing my template, but I don’t think it will prove usefull as it is strongly customised to fit into an existing layout.
I wish there was a way of adding a field to the template (but not in the specification section so it would be permanent).
I’ll add it to the list
(Which reminds me I should create a public wish list… I’ll add that to the list as well…)
Aaand, you propably already thought about it, but anyway, it would be a good idea to somehow separate the output template and configuration from the “engine”. This would enable updating the plugin without loosing customisations made to it.
I hope I’m not too obnoxious with my suggestions
That’s the idea yes, right now (as always with quick hacks) I just wanted the plugin to serve my own purpose.
Todo/Suggestion list will go on today so please continue the obnoxiousness
Templates coming in 0.5 (today or tomorrow)
hi there
I’m new to wordpress this week and have really struggled to find anything like this. There are many post about it elsewhere but this is the only solution I found.
I need to add a list of less than 10 properties to my site with their own separate pages but no shopping cart.
Many thanks, I will download and test this.
You’re welcome – I had exactly the same problem, which is why I wrote it in the first place. I am using it currently on a live site, but it IS still in development so any comment and/or suggestions would be appreciated
I have set up plugin where is the options page please???
Admin interface, under settings
(“NoShop!”)
thanks
The features in this widget is exactly what I need but it doesn’t work out for me. When I insert the script: [NoShop ] into the page nothing shows up. At least the tin tin ought to be seen, but nothing. Is someone else having the same problem?
I’m having the same problem. I made a “bridal” category and inserted the script [NoShop ] onto a page. None of the items show up. How can I resolve this?
had the same problem.. you should add [NoShop categoryname] and without
You should use [NoShop bridal]

hi ya, very good plugin, thanks. Is it possible to put the picture next to the text instead of sitting above it.
thanks.
I hope the option to delete a product like mentioned above will be added soon.
Hello,
I’ve added this plugin, but I have one small question.
I want on the front page to display 3 random products from 6 categories … it’s there any way to do this ?
Thx.
Anwar
Hi
i think it is the perfect plugin for what i want to do.
unfortunately it dont seem to work. i enter the name und so on, hit the update-button and i see the emty form again….
can you help me?
Hi,
Nice plugin! I only have a problem with the pictures. Safari shows the pictures but Internet Explorer not (not even an error). I could live without Internet Explorer but it is still highly used.
Also might it be possible to see the pictures besides the text say on the left or right side?
Tnx, Stephan
Is it possible to add media. Such as pdf of products specs.
Thanks for the plugin,
is there any way we can put pagination? I am new in wordpress and php so do not know much about how to customize it.
Will try and get it in to the next release
Can you help? I’m getting the error Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mydirectory/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/noshop/noshop.php on line 365 When trying to update add a product. Also the product just repeats the same info although I have created a new Category and Title.
WordPress 3.1.1
Anamika 1.1 Theme
Aye, my bad conscience… I’ll get it it fixed. Sorry.
Same thing here… error on line 365.
Thank you, your plugin is exactly what I need!
I will be keeping a very close eye on the dev of this plugin. This will be very useful.
I’m getting the same error – “Invalid argument supplied for foreach()” – has there been a fix released? If so, would love to promote the plugin on my site after I get it up and running….
Also getting the same error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mydirectory/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/noshop/noshop.php on line 365
Any way to fix it?
This plugin sounds like it’s exactly what I need, but I am getting the same error on line 365.
Any progress?
Any one tried to use a gallery plugin for the same purpose ?
Does NOshop plugin have prices on it ?
Does it work or not ?
I’m new to wordpress so need some help! I’m trying to add a ‘contact me for more info’ link with each product. Where in the php can I add this in html as i cant add html in the specification boxes?
I also get the error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/plugins/noshop/noshop.php on line 365. Which is too bad, because it sounds just like he solution to my problem. Maybe some other plugin that does the same job? I am unable to program, so I cannot help…
But thanks for all the effort, it sure is appreciated!
Hi, first of all thanks for building this plug in. Second, I’ve downloaded it but when I try to activate it I get this error “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/109668/webspace/siteapps/21517/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/noshop/noshop.php on line 86″
I have WP 3.2 – Would you be able to help in any way? I haven’t got a clue!
Thanks! And any prompt reply would be very much appreciated!!!! Again, thanks for your time. Laura
Sorry! I don’t know if it’s important, but I’m using WP version WordPress 3.1.3. for now. I can update to 3.2 but haven’t done that yet! Cheers! Laura

Hello Jesper,
As a fellow Dane (been in the US since 1994), WordPress designer and PageLines user I would like to offer you my help in finalizing your NoShop plugin. There is a great need for it and with some redesign and final development, it could become a great product.
Let me know if you are interested!
I’ll make sure you can join in
and thank you!

Thank you!
Has anyone found a fix for IE not showing images? Great plugin, but need IE.
Ok…
Like a lot of others, I have to say that this looked like exactly what I have been searching for. So I installed it, finally found the options page…and now what?
I haven’t got the slightest idea what to do next. Is there anything like a basic tutorial, anywhere?
Great idea. Thanks a lot! Exactly what I was looking for.
It takes a bit of time to get around it but then it start to make sence.
One thing thought: If you can’t remove items, it is absolutely unusable.
Do I miss something? Is there another way of deleting products? Any feedback much appreciated.
Does anyone has a working version of this plugin so I can apply it to my wordpress web design and development site at http://selectiveform.com ?
Hi!
First of all many thanks for building this plug in – it is really simple to maintain, but I have a little question – is there a possibility to show products from all categories at one page?
Hi,
Warning fixed : Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mydirectory/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/noshop/noshop.php on line 365
Please download and replace noshop.php with http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45532266/noshop.php
I have only added a new if condition on the line 365 , you can diff the file with the original file that comes with the plugin for security issues ( If i include a back door to your server
)
Hope this helps !

Gayan
Before every produict ‘ï»’ is displayed, why?
I’m getting some ‘funny characters’ displaying when I copy content from an excel spreadsheet and other sources at point of publishing an entry.
Any suggestions?
HAVE YOU MET Ï»¿ ? SAY HELLO TO MY BOM
So what is this mysterious sequence ? Well, lets check the ISO-8859-1 character encoding, commonly known as ‘Latin alphabet’ and often confused with the Windows code page 1252: ï is the character corresponding to 0xEF (decimal 239), » is 0xBB (decimal 187) and ¿ is 0xBF (decimal 191). So the mysterious sequence is 0xEFBBBF. Does it look familiar now? It should, this is the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark. Moral: if you consume and parse XML, make sure you consume it as XML, not as text. All XML libraries I know of correctly understand and parse the BOM. The problems can be from ‘parsers’ that treat XML as a string (and most often fail to accommodate namespaces too…).
Can you fix this problem please?
