Version 1.3 is out! In the last 2 posts we talked about a few new features. What else is new?
Paint Codes Module Released
The paint codes module is complete, allowing you to open an online “paint shop” for your paint-able products.
Adapter (notes) Module Released
The adapter (compatibility notes) module is also complete, allowing you to have customized messages on the product page, based on the unique vehicle+product selected. In this way you can inform your users clearly of any implications of using that part on their vehicle.
Animating Unavailable Selections
We announced this ahead of time, read about it here.
“My Garage” low profile mode
We also announced this one ahead of time, read about it here.
Universal Product Import
Previously it was difficult to create universal products, you had to go in to each product, click the vehicle table, tick the box, and press save. For every product. Your feedback has been heard and we have created a universal import. Now on the mappings import format you can simply create a ‘universal’ column. See the documentation for more details.
Performance Improvements
Several performance improvements were made, they may not be that noticeable when you add on Magento’s page load time, but they are there.
Flexible Search
Now a user can select just a Make & Model, to see for instance all products for all years. Essentially your users can search on any “incomplete” definition like this and product results will be shown.
Internationalization
Multi-language support has been added, allowing you to translate the names of the drop downs (make/model/year). If you need anything to be translate-able drop us a comment or feature suggestion and let us know.
Ability to display drop downs horizontally
The <br> tags between the drop-downs have been removed, allowing you to use CSS to display your drop downs horizontally.
More control
New configuration settings were added, allowing you to control such things as appending the name of the selected vehicle to the name of each product, hiding & showing the ‘clear’ button, and more. If you need any settings added drop us a comment or feature suggestion and we will consider it.
Happy cataloging!
