ViArt Shop 3.1 released!
We are glad to announce that 3.1 version of ViArt Shop has been released. Several new and important features have been added and a few bugs from 3.0 version have been fixed. Please, read the complete list of changes and their short description.
From 3.1 version you have the ability to add secure site URLs to the call centre module. For this go to Administration > System > System Settings > Secure Site Settings and tick off the ‘On order creation’ checkbox.
You found it difficult to change a site logo by editing an appropriate template, didn't you? Forget about it. From now on you can do it via Administration > System > System Settings. Just enter the correct path to your logo image into the 'Logo Image' field and your logo will be added to your site.
The uploading of images has become more convenient and can save you a lot of time because now you do not have to manually resize images but allow our php shopping cart do this for you. Please, visit Administration > Products > Products Settings >Images Settings / Customers Images Restrictions and test all the possibilities which automatic resize gives you.
Sometimes, you may find it necessary to issue some terms and conditions or add some limitations for your merchants when they submit products to your website. Version 3.1 has been updated with such feature. To make this option active, please go to Administration > Customers > Profile Settings/Types > Products Settings and click on the ‘Terms’ tab. Then tick the appropriate checkbox and enter your terms and conditions to the textbox.
Taking into consideration some requests from our clients, we made it more convenient for your clients to view products. Now they can sort products by price, by name, by manufacturer and by code. And that’s not all. You will find it more pleasant to navigate through products now.
In previous versions all html templates have included numerous scripting codes which made it difficult and tiresome for editing or finding a necessary line. From 3.1 version the situation has changed. We have removed all the scripting code from html templates and put only the link to the scripts: <script type="text/javascript" src="js/shopping.js"></script>.
The articles latest block has been updated with a few more settings. Now you have more opportunities to customize the block according to your needs.
Our customers found it useless and sometimes irritating that when someone clicks the ‘back’ button after he/she submits the order or wants to return to the shop and add a new product it is considered as two different orders. We have finally solved the issue and now even if a user re-submits the order again the initial order is updated with new data and no new order is created.
When the 3.0 version has been released it was found out that there was a problem with downloading products in IE7 version. This problem has been successfully solved and with 3.1 version of our shopping cart you can download products using IE7 as well.
Hope you find new ViArt Shop v3.1 features useful!
With best regards,
ViArt Team.
