Beta release of the CS-Cart v2.2.1

We are glad to announce the beta release of v2.2.1



Note: Multi-Vendor Release Candidate v2.2.1 and Professional Release Candidate v2.2.1 are available

СS-Cart Community Edition Beta v2.2.1

СS-Cart Professional Edition Beta v2.2.1

It's allowed to use this version until the official release only.



Here are the major changes:

1. Look-n-feel of the Admin panel

We fully remade the back-end look-n-feel, it is more easy-to-use now.

You can read the discussion on visual changes here: [url]http://forum.cs-cart.com/showthread.php?t=24689[/url]

Please note that an icon to the right of the company name is used to come to the storefront now.



2. Jquery was updated to version 1.5.2

Now you can use various editors and previewers. Here is the thread with details: [url]http://forum.cs-cart.com/showthread.php?t=21128[/url]

Settings are available on the Appearance settings page



3. Back-in-stock notification functionality was added.

Now there is a new setting called “Out of stock actions” where you can set “Sign up for a notification”.

And if a product is out of stock, there will be a field for an email address on the product page for a customer to sign up for a notification.

A notification will be sent after the product amount increases.

You can edit subscribers manually in the “Subscribed users” tab.

4. Update of payment systems

- 2checkout: fraud checking was added

- MoneyBookers: a new iFrame mode was added.

- MerchantWarrior Express API

- Rockegate

- CardSave Hosted



5. Janrain add-on: Login via Facebook, OpenId, etc.

Now you can allow your customers to log in using their accounts from popular services.

Install the add-on, register your application at janrain.com. After configuring the add-on, there will be a new button called “social login” in the authentication box.

6. Ability to display the mini-cart at checkout was added

Now there is the ability to display the mini-cart on the checkout page and it is possible to edit its content. You can select the checkout style on the general settings page.

The discussion thread can be found here: [url]http://forum.cs-cart.com/showthread.php?t=23469[/url]



7. Search in the Admin panel was improved.

Now, if you enter any word, search is performed by all objects (products, orders, pages, news) at once.

If just one object is found, redirection to its details page occurs.



[color=red]!!! Please do not use these packages for live stores.[/color]



P.S. Live help add-on was included in the Professional package.

P.P.S. Twigmo add-on was included in both editions (details).

Congratulations on the new release! Welcome back the mini-cart. :slight_smile:

I am excited and can’t wait to try it, but will because my store is live.



If this should be a new thread I apologize but I was wondering, if someone uses Facebook or OpenID to log in and they already have an acct at your store, how does that work?



If same email address? Error? Adds new orders to this acct?

If different email address is associated with the other login system I assume it creates another acct since it won’t know it’s them.

Excellent work guys! :cool:

Sweet, I’ll be checking it out as soon as I get some free time! :wink: Hopefully this upcoming weekend! :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh yeah some new addon coming soon… :slight_smile:



By the way when the final version is going to be releasing ?

Testing it out now…Good work guys.

Can’t login via google

Just an observation on the demo:



The detail image popup window shows the image file name in the bottom.

I think just showing the image is enough, or could be showing whatever text

we put in the “alt” tag.

Exactly. Make sure you are able to log in to your forum account with the entered login and password (in case, you usually log in with the “Remember me” feature or your login-password are filled by your browser).

Is it just me with a blank screen after log in

see pic, the actual thumbnail does have a white section about 300px deep but you cant see it in the picture as it is a white background

Hm, it does not work for me either. I get 500 server error. I am sorry, I did not check it before asking you to verify your login-password (I was sure it worked well, because I used it several hours ago).



Our technicians will recover it in the morning (it’s 12:39AM here in Russia). I apologize for possible inconvenience.



UPDATE: Only [url]http://labs.cs-cart.com/professional/[/url] does not work, but [url]http://labs.cs-cart.com/multivendor/[/url] works fine for me. Please use it for a while - it is Multi-Vendor Edition 2.2.1 Beta. Thanks.

Dear Ilya,

the watermark addon is still under development, so I hope we will include it in the next release.
