Bug fixes (27)

  • The saving of the "product selection method" setting on the product edition page didn't work properly.

  • The checkout would display an "access forbidden" error when pressing the next button of the checkout with the SEF turned off since HikaShop 4.0.2 due to improvements with the SEF URLs of the checkout.

That way, it fits better with Joomla, which also uses it, pages will load faster as there will be less resources to load from the server, it will be easier to create the styles pack, and add new icons / button for us in the future, and it's easier for you to style the icons if you want to.
