Ivor, you can use the in_category($cat) template tag, to determine if the post is on the specific category. $cat can be either the category slug, the category name, or the category ID.

So, you can use the template tag to determine if the post being edited (since the post being created doesn’t have a category yet), has the specific category. This way you can conditionally include the post metabox, based on the category of your preference.

For example:

if ( in_category('Design')  ) {
    add_meta_box( ... args ... );
}

Aww… I’m planning to release my next WP theme on the 21st, too bad it’s only for site templates. I’ll wait for the WP competition then, that would be sick!

Excellent addition Drew, Thank you so much!

So I won’t be able to check my sales for those 5 hours… that could be a problem… seeing as how I sit on TF all day clicking refresh… Hmm I guess I’ll try getting a life

If you’re using Windows, there’s a cool little app called Envato Tracker created by Chris Fay, check it out!

Yeeeeeeeeahhhh! Way to go Envato!

We are da best… ‘nuff said… Nowhere you’ll find the skilled authors we have here at Envato, and Nowhere you’ll find the Quality & Support we provide either…

I think, starting next week, we’re going to make all authors use this documentation template, or something better with every submission. This means that we’ll no longer be accepting simple .txt files. We highly encourage you to use our provided help template, but if you have something even better, you’re, of course, free to continue using that.

Jeffrey,

If I only include a rather extensive and well formatted PDF file, for example this documentation teaser. Can I only include the PDF , or is it mandatory to use the documentation template you suggested (or other good looking HTML Help Template) ?

I believe you still need an account to buy

Are you sure you purchased the file ? We have ways of finding out you know…

Be polite, professional and honest when providing support. If you help people with the issues they’re having, they will actually post a comment to let everybody know how happy they are with your product and recommend it.

@Kriesi, Congratulations with that new Badge!

Welcome to the forums and marketplaces As others have been noting, author support is highly encouraged but it is not required. You can check out comments and ratings on the individual file page as well as ask the author any questions. Any others questions just let us know!

I don’t agree with the “rating” part.

Sometime buyers mess the theme and think it’s your fault and give you 1 star .. Those ratings are ridiculous.

Maybe an idea to create a mandatory field where the user needs to give up a reason when he’s rating 1 or 2 stars. Just thinking up loud.

There is a LOT of thing that can be done to improve this rating.

+1

A reason for the rating can be cool, something like Amazon’s ratings where you see why the users provided the rating. Example.

This helps authors correct any mistakes they’ve made and see what features users love most or features users would like to see on the theme. Also, this might increase customer satisfaction and provide even more sales.

For example, when I’m going to buy a book, I always look at what others have been saying about their experience with the book (along with the ratings). This has a strong influence on the potential-buyer to purchase the file.
