Cs-Cart & Multi-Vendor 4.7.2 Are Here



Hello!

Meet CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.7.2. Even though patch releases mostly contain bug fixes, there are reasons to be excited about 4.7.2:

  • Support of PHP 7.2 and ImageMagick 7.
  • Improvements to product variations. The ability to create variations individually (without overwriting the existing variations of a product), to import new variations, and to export variations to Google Merchant Center.
  • A fix for the bug with the links to product variations. Previously SEO URLs were used on the storefront, even though they aren’t supposed to appear and can’t be edited. Now proper links to variations are shown on the storefront instead.
  • An improvement to how product pages with required options are displayed. Now a customer won’t see the quantity on the product page until he or she selects a variant for every required option of the product.
  • A new template for the “Vendors” block in Multi-Vendor. That selectable template is called “Vendor logos and product count”, and it allows you to showcase your featured vendors.
To find more information about the improvements in version 4.7.2, please check out the post in our blog. For the full list of changes, please refer to our changelog. The upgrades to version 4.7.2 are already available. As usual, we provide upgrades in small batches, so if you don’t see this upgrade in your Upgrade Center yet, please try again later.

P.S. We have released 4.7.2 Service Pack 1. It olves problems with the functioning of a couple of add-ons when multiple storefronts are used. We have also released Service Pack 2 that addresses the issues with translations of some settings in the Administration panel in Service Pack 1. Details are available in the changelog of the SP.

Hello. I forgot to mention in the forum announcement that, as usual, we distribute upgrades in batches (it was mentioned in the blog post though). I've extended the announcement on the forum as well:

From what block the images were gone? Did you clear the cache using (?cc&ctp&ct parameter in URL)?

Hey imac,

I found the problem. It looks like below code was removed from templates.php. I added back to the new one and we are back in business. It there a possibility that it was originally added by template that we are using?

----------------------

'blocks/products/products_multicolumns_cr.tpl' => array (
'settings' => array(
'item_number' => array (
'type' => 'checkbox',
'default_value' => 'N'
),
'filter_id' => array (
'type' => 'input',
'default_value' => 1
),

'number_of_columns_cr' => array (
'type' => 'input',
'default_value' => 2
)
),
'bulk_modifier' => array (
'fn_gather_additional_products_data' => array (
'products' => '#this',
'params' => array (
'get_icon' => true,
'get_detailed' => true,
'get_options' => true,
'get_additional' => true,

--------------------------------------------

Great news!

Is it possible to only update the variations and google export addons?

I don't think so, most probably you will run into some problems.

Still no upgrades for me...

do note that it's &ctpl, not &ctp to clear the template cache.

Is it really necessary to wipe out all the thumbnails (&ct) forcing them to be rebuilt for this upgrade?

If it's required, shouldn't it be done by the upgrade process when it completes?

It's not necessary.

I wrote this because this is the first thing we do before debugging - clearing the cache completly.

Thanks for the clarification.

Update still not via normal update.

Now by download helpcentre.

First time update like this...

OBoy

"You can upload an upgrade package manually from the local machine, your server, or from a remote location. Specify the location of a tgz,gz,zip format archive and click Upload."

To great to upload... what now?

Hi


Is there an option to manually download updates and then update it via update center? There’s an option in there to upload updates so it would be an easy thing to do.


My reasoning for this is that it takes why to long for updates to be pushed through. I get not wanting to crash the system with everyone trying to update all at the same time, but waiting for almost 2 weeks for an update to be pushed through is way to long, so having an option to manually downloading the update and uploading via update center would make perfect sense.

No, I am afraid this cannot be done. The + button on this page is for third-party add-ons upgrades.

I'm hoping that the reasons for the delay are server based and not content based. I'm hoping we're not returning to multiple contents of the same version for both upgrades and new installations. If so, I take pity on the support department.

But this upgrade does seem to be taking a long time compared with past experience.

Today i get my update.

Little bit late...
