Cs-Cart And Multi-Vendor 4.12.1 Released

We have released CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.12.1. If you click the images, you'll be taken to the blog articles with all the details. This time there are a lot of changes, and here are the main ones:

Multi-Vendor:

- Easier product import for vendors. Now you can set up common import presets that will be available to all vendors.

- The “Ask seller a question” add-on is now called “Message center”. Previously, the add-on allowed customers to contact vendors and ask them about products. Now it also allows vendors and administrators to communicate.

- The “Vendor Debt Payout” add-on has been replaced by a new add-on called “Vendor-to-Admin Payments”. Vendors can now refill their balance in advance, without becoming debtors; marketplace owners can decide what to do with their debtors, and so on.

- Vendors get more abilities such as creation of product features and management of orders and return requests.

- New “Vendor rating” add-on that allows marketplace administrators to specify their own formula for vendor rating calculation.

- New vendor approval flow. Now the vendors that have just created their accounts have the “Thumbs up” and “Thumbs down” buttons instead of status next to them.

- Multi-Vendor Ultimate allows administrators to specify different settings for different storefronts.

CS-Cart:

- Product filters are improved. The filters now work faster, and it is easier to apply multiple filters.

- Creation of product features, variations and options is improved.

- Easier shipping method configuration. It’s easier to see the shipping rates for each rate area and understand where a certain shipping method will be available.

- Invisible anti-bot protection (Google reCAPTCHA v3) is added.

- Performance improved.

The upgrades to version 4.12.1 are already available. As usual, for the first couple of weeks after the release we hand out upgrade packages in limited numbers, but then we lift that restriction. So if you don’t see this upgrade in your Upgrade Center yet, please try again later.

Great work. Pretty happy with this release. Any word on PHP 7.4 support? As far as I am aware it works perfectly splendid on this version.

Running 4.11.5 on PHP 7.4.12 on development server without functional breaks on the front.

But error_log keeps growing with mostly below such errors..

PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'image_pos' in .....

PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'desktop' in ..... etc., with many various files

PHP Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in ....

.............. so many warning entries like the above

Yeah, but we are talking about 4.12.1, not 4.11.5

I'm wondering if there is a roadmap for supporting PHP 8.0 in any feature realeases :-)

For that I have already submitted patches to CS-Cart, this could be added very soon. For now they still need to add PHP 8.0 development environments and update their pipelines accordingly. But its being on worked on.

Have you fixed the reported bugs?

What about the new checkout page?

Have you seen this in the bug report about it?

How can we permanently disable the admin bottom toolbar?

thx

- The “Ask seller a question” add-on is now called “Message center”. Previously, the add-on allowed customers to contact vendors and ask them about products. Now it also allows vendors and administrators to communicate.

Is it possible that the Message center add-on is not working properly at the moment?

After the upgrade to 4.12.1 The message center add-on was not working at all for me.

So uninstalled it to then re-install it, and the interface did look different and it now shows me "Message Center" under "Vendors" as well as "Customers".

This however is not the case when you log in with a Vendor account, here only the Customer - Message center is visible and when I try to access a message sent from the store admin to a vendor account (a nofification pops up in the Notification center) it gives ma a 403 message.

I did make sure that "vendor-to-admin communication" is ticked in the Message center add-on & I tried to disable all third-party add-ons, just in case, but the issue remains.

Any idea how to fix this?

Edit: I have now noticed that The message center feature shows up for certain accounts but doesn't for others.

The problem persists even if those accounts have the same vendor plan and are in the same user group.

Edit 2: The problem seems to have been resolved after deleting the vendor administrator accounts in question. It seems that for some reason, the user group privileges did not update and were "stuck"

Please dont release any new major version until fix bugs and complete uncopleted new features,

-mobile apps feature variants

-mobile apps vendor communication

-mobile apps common product

-mobile apps unused profile fields still appears

-mobile apps doesnt have category menu

-mve plus common product need actual product view

mobile apps just trash right now, we paid for this and we cant use

plase dont release any major version or new feature !!! Just complete current features !

After updating a multi store CS cart version, It appears that the new email interface is not configurable per store and is now causing all order emails from all stores to to be sent to whatever email address that are set in administrator/notifications.

disregard this..

I do not see such shipping configuration in my updated 4.12.1

Where is now data feeds?

UPDATED: Found Administration -> Export -> Data feeds

Where is now data feeds?

Administration/export data

OK so I had option, variations that were converted to features and now 73 of them.

When I go to

admin.php?dispatch=products.manage

advanced search and I get this:

Search by features is not available due to the excessive number of variants.

How much is too much ? I am feeling dizzy :)

define('PRODUCT_FEATURES_THRESHOLD', 50);
