  • The backend order details page, the frontend order details page and the invoice pages on the backend and the frontend now display the products image.
  • The "check database" function can now clean user entries when their user account doesn't exist while the user_cms_id still points to it.
  • We've added a warning when you're editing a custom order field with its frontend display setting turned on and the "fields" view is missing from the checkout workflow.
  • There are now two new triggers for the configuration saving: onBeforeConfigSave and onAfterConfigSave.
  • The page title setting of the menu item is now taken into account when it makes sense in the user control panel, orders listing, carts listing, etc on the frontend.
  • The cart print URL is now generated only when the cart module's print option is activated.
  • We now check that the cart is not empty before validating the different views of the checkout at the end of the checkout. That way, if the customer plays with the history of his browser after the checkout and his cart is already empty, he doesn't get errors from the validation of the views, and is only redirected to the cart empty URL.
  • You can now translate shipping methods and payment methods name with translation overrides.
  • We've added a check on the configuration page to make sure that the selected menu item in the "force a menu on checkout" setting is a HikaShop menu item type and we also removed other menu items from the dropdown.
  • There is now a hidden setting to change the webp image compression quality (80 by default).
  • We now remove the checkbox on the cart/wishlist products listing on the frontend for products you don't want to be able to add/move if they don't have any stock or are not available anymore since it would be refused anyways.
  • We've improved the display of the "back" button on the order details page to only appear when coming from the orders listing or the user control panel.
  • You can now have a "channel description" for your google products XML feed.
  • The system now already adds a space before the class you can enter in the "UL class name" setting of listings.
  • You can now use the meta description of products as the "description" of the google products XML feed.
  • You can now use a custom product field for the mpn of products in the google products XML feed.
  • We've updated the google products plugin to adapt to changes made by google to the product_type parameter of the products in the XML feed.
  • We've improved the calculations of the reports on products sold.
  • We've made some improvements to the Google products (merchant) plugin. You can now use core columns on top of custom product fields, and it avoids errors with too long product name, description, etc.
  • The shipping/payment methods listing now also display the restrictions on currencies of the shipping/payment methods.
  • We've added integration possibilities for plugins in the login form of the checkout.
  • We do not display anymore the specification table title of the product page in "tabular" mode as the tab title already has it.
  • We avoid an issue with security systems and the address format field of the HikaShop configuration so that the address format is not sent to the server if no modification is made on it.
  • We've increased the left explorer area width in the image gallery popup.
  • The nWumb javascript was loaded even when a cursor filter was not on prices.
  • We've added a preview button for the waitlist notification email.
  • We've improved the SEF URLs on the checkout.
  • We avoid displaying the webp image tags when the webp image couldn't be generated.
  • The currency symbol is now added to the input fields for cursor filters on prices.
  • The input fields of cursor filters now update while the cursors are being dragging instead of just when you release the drag.
  • We've added a load_js and a load_css hidden settings. If turned off, no JS or CSS file will be loaded by HikaShop. It will be up to the template to handle everything (for highly customized websites).
  • We removed custom fields of the type "customtext" from the "Display limited to" dropdown option as these custom fields cannot be used with that option as there is nothing to select/fill with them.
  • The backend date settings now supports the date format translations so that they will display similarly to what you can find in the areas where dates are displayed (emails, invoices, orders, etc).

New features (9)

  • We now disable the whole step interface with a spinner when the customer click on the next / finish button at the bottom of the step, as we already did for individual views.
  • There is now a smart search plugin for HikaShop products.
  • The cart and wishlist systems now use cookies for guest users so that if the session of the user expires (close his browser, or doesn't access the website for a few hours/days), he won't loose his cart / wishlist.
  • Filters will now process product listings dynamically (AJAX).
  • The checkout workflow editor now has a "separator" view you can use to configure several columns and easily separate your checkout views.
  • There is now an option in custom address fields to restrict the field to only shipping addresses or only billing addresses.
  • We've added webp images support for category listings.
  • The payment page (when you click on the "pay" button of an order, not during the checkout) has been redone to include the total of the order and the fees of the payment methods if the payment method can be changed by the customer and there are fees configured on the payment methods.
  • We've improved the RTL display of hikashop.
