Improvements (14)

  • We've improved the view builder for the frontend product / listing and the category / listing view files.
  • We've drastically improved the perfomances of the product CSV import system in HikaShop. It should run at least 30% faster. We also made it more robust.
  • The Google Products plugin now checks the access level of the categories of the products so that if no category of a product is accessible based on the "user group" setting of the Google Products plugin, the product will be skipped.
  • We've updated the list of currencies.
  • We've worked on the currency edit form so that it is now easier to setup the price display for each one thanks to an interactive configuration interface.
  • The pagination is now reset on the orders listing when the payment method is selected for filtering.
  • HikaShop will now hide the pagination area of products listings on the frontend when it is not necessary.
  • The Smart search integration plugin now takes into account the access level of categories of products being indexed.
  • We've worked on the style of the view builder system so that it offers a cleaner interface.
  • We've added auto scroll to the elements in the view builder so that when you drag & drop an element, the code scrolls automatically to the corresponding code.
  • We've improved the rendering of the video player on the frontend product page. It will allow for a smoother experience by preloading the player when the page is loaded.
  • We've improved the handling of videos so that they will properly display even if allow_url_fopen is disabled on the hosting environment.
  • We've improved the display of the quantity input field so that even if frontend templates add a padding to the input fields, the quantity input field will still display properly.
  • We've unified the logic for price_site_id handling between listing and product pages to ensure consistency in price selection.

New features (13)

  • There is now a button "Generate copies" on the shipping methods listing and edit pages so that you can easily generate a lot of copies of a shipping method.
  • When the "Display view files" setting is activated, there is now an edit icon next to the view file name. When clicking on the icon, you'll get a popup with the view edit form, saving you a lot of time as you don't have to search for the view file in the backend to edit it.
  • You now have access to the translation interface when editing a filter for easy translation of the name of the filter.
  • We've added an "Address form layout" setting to the HikaShop configuration. You can now easily configure your address form on the frontend with a drag & drop interface. Thanks to this, you can build nice looking layouts. The system comes with a default one which you can just activate to get a good start.
  • We've added an import tool to be able to import data from WooCommerce.
  • We've added a migration tool to migrate your shop from J2Store / J2Commerce to HikaShop.
  • We've added export and import buttons to the shipping methods and payment methods listings in the backend in order to make it easier to migrate and generate methods.
  • It is now possible to import sub zones via CSV. This will greatly help when you need to add a large number of states, countries at once or if you need to create a new zone with a lot of sub zones.
  • User Points plugin: Added support for defining points earned per product via a custom field.
  • User Points payment plugin: Added support for defining point cost per product via a custom field.
  • We've added a "cancel operation" action to mass actions. This action will only work when the mass action is called via a "before" trigger. For example, suppose you want to make sure that all the products have a weight and dimensions when being configured in the backend, you can add a mass action with triggers "before a product is created" and vbefore a product is updated", filters on the columns product_weight, product_width, product_length and product_height being equal to zero, and an action "cancel operation". This can also be used to check user information during registration, checks on orders being created on the frontend, forbid the deletion of elements, etc. This action has an option "error message" so that you can display the error message you want to the user when the operation is cancelled.
  • The content tags now support the different ways to display discounted prices.
  • We've added the possibility to match the columns of the CSV with the possible columns in HikaShop in the product import tool.
