Hotfixes & Small Tweaks - June

In June, aside from announcing our Rackspace transition process outlined in a recent news posting, we are wrapping up testing of v5.0.35 which includes exciting deliverables including multi-dimensional product reviews with administrative moderation that fully use our newly released custom layout framework.  Also included will be new integrations with Endicia LabelServer, Stone Edge Order Manager and many new performance changes.

• 6/30
• FEATURE(35): Added “After Upsell Redirect To”  option to theme manager, options include "Display The Shopping Cart", "Go Directly To Place Order"
• Lets the customers choose the action that should happen after the upsell page is shown, it was going only to the place order page but can now go there or to the shopping cart.
• FIX(35): “Home Page Title” to just say “Page Title” on store pages
• 6/26
• HOTFIX (34): Hidden products for featured items snapins are now filtered in the SPs/SQL
• This should prevent the problem where an inconsistent number of products would show for a snapin due to hidden products being removed before display.
• FIX (35): Product feeds now pull the price calculator properly, was silently erroring and no prices were ran through the calculator.
• FEATURE (35): Added css to highlight the applicable quantity in the quantity discount display.
•  
• HOTFIX(34): Added the ability to edit the iFrame.ascx attributes, scrolling and width, per instance basis.
• This in turn corrected the /AccountUsageReport.aspx scrolling issue for the Bandwidth tab.
• HOTFIX (34): MfgID will now be removed from the query string when redirecting to a custom URL for a manufacturer page
• 6/25
• FEATURE(35): Added ability to choose a default variant, this variant will be selected when going to the product page (MJ wanted that years ago!)
• FEATURE(35): Show the price label even when using quantity grid displays
• Shows the cheapest price for that quantity AND any selected variants, it even totals all quantities entered to tally the correct price
• FEATURE(35): Show a price 'range' when multiple prices apply, like with variant inventory pricing and the quantity grid
• 
• 6/24
• • FEATURE (34,35): “Stone Edge Order Manager Connector” released
  • FEATURE (35): “Endicia Label Server Connector” Added (beta only) for producing USPS shipping labels right out of the admin console.  Requires a Label Server license from Endicia.
  • FEATURE (35): Multi-Dimensional Customer Product Reviews enters Alpha phase for testing and tweaking on live sites.
• 6/23
  • 35: Add ## TAXCODE## Merge, Add CustomFields Pull To API Method
  • HOTFIX (34): Removed "admin console logo URL" from Store Settings page
  • HOTFIX (34): ShopZilla feed will now be built once per day via the DoTimedEvents webservice agent call, the ShopZillaDataFeed.aspx page will just download this static file
• 6/22
  • HOTFIX (34): Link group sub menus (drop downs) were not rendering when the link group snapin was placed using its merge code
• 6/19
  • 35: Added a framework for managing client-side scripts.  It is basically a wrapper around ASP.NET’s build in client side script managers, but done so they can be easily used from PageTemplate.  The methods live on PageTemplateShared, and basically allow for three types of scripts: script blocks (inline JS), startup scripts (scripts placed at the end of a page so that they run after a page has loaded), and script includes.  Using the built-in ASP.NET client script management features has the added benefit of organizing the javascript on a page instead of littering it all over the place, as well as preventing duplication.
• 6/18
  • HOTFIX (34): Performance tweak for feeds, manually build the product URLs instead of calling BuildItemLink helper to try to avoid some of the overhead, eliminate other unnecessary db calls
• 6/17
  • HOTFIX (34): Change shopzilla feed to use new product feed code to hopefully address performance concerns
  • HOTFIX: Added ProductStatusID field to the Product_UpdateBasicInventoryViaDataSet web service
    • You can now update the actual product status on the order via the web service in the event of discontinuing an item
• 6/15
  • HOTFIX (34): Snapins with postback events were not functioning properly when placed with a snapin merge
• 6/12
  • FEATURE (34): Added Order_GetByEditDateRange to the API
• 6/11
