Hi,

there is a new Beta (version 3.3.0) now:
https://github.com/PhocaCz/PhocaCart/releases/download/3.3.0Beta/com_phocacart_v3.3.0Beta.zip
https://github.com/PhocaCz/PhocaCart/releases/download/3.3.0Beta/pkg_phocacart_modules_v3.3.0Beta.zip

(Beta version should be not tested on production server, only on test server because of possible conflicts when upgrading)

The main news is the ability to switch between Bootstrap3 and Bootstrap4 HTML output or to switch between Bootstrap Glyphicons and Font Awesome 4 or Font Awesome 5 icons (if the template supports it).

In this article, there are instructions how to set up Phoca Cart and Astroid template (Boostrap 4):
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/116-phoca-cart-component/1042-setting-up-phoca-cart-and-astroid-template



The guide includes the links to overrides which can be copied to Astroid template and display Phoca Cart Cart module, Phoca Cart Wish List module, Phoca Cart Compare module and Phoca Cart Currency module in top module position.



It is still Beta version (development version) so will be great to get a feedback.

Thank you, Jan

Hi,

thanks to all who tested the beta.

The stable version 3.3.0 was released as a result
https://www.phoca.cz/news/1055-phoca-cart-version-3-3-0-released



As described in the beta release, the most significant change is the ability to change HTML output (Bootstrap 3 or Boostrap 4, Glyphicons, Font Awesome 4 or Font Awesome 5, etc.).

A new module with the component has been released: Phoca Cart Mega Menu Content Module. You can display a list of categories or brands/manufacturers in Mega Menu (in templates that can be used to insert a module position or instance in Mega Menu).


In addition, Phoca Carousel module was published, which displays a slideshow. Each section can contain a background image, title and description (HTML), button and another image.


Demo can be seen here:
https://www.phoca.cz/phocacartdemo/astroid/

So, again, thanks to all who have tested.

Thanks, Jan

Hi, new development version of Phoca Cart has been released - version 3.5.5 Beta (as always, this is a beta version and is for testing purposes only).

The most important news include:

1) There is new parameter to display products from all subcategories in category view. This means, that not only products from current category will be displayed in category view but all products from all subcategories of this category. For example: laptop can be displayed in category Laptops but also in its parent category Computers.

2) There is new option to display layout plugins in category or items view. This means that output of these views can be completely changed by layout plugins.

Example - on following image, standard category view is displayed:



Demo: https://www.phoca.cz/restaurantmenudemo/en/phoca-cart/2-main-course

With help of layout plugins this output can be changed, see image:



Demo: https://www.phoca.cz/restaurantmenudemo/en/phoca-cart-order-items

3) Variables which are displayed in emails or descriptions can have more formats. Example: In previous version it was only possible to display first name as following variables:

{b_name_first} ... First name set in billing address is displayed.
{s_name_first} ... First name set in shipping address is displayed.

As of version 3.5, the following formats can be used:

{b_name_first} ... First name set in billing address is displayed.
{s_name_first} ... First name set in shipping address is displayed.
{bs_name_first} ... First name set in billing address is displayed. If it does not exist then first name set in shipping address will be displayed.
{sb_name_first} ... First name set in shipping address is displayed. If it does not exist then first name set in billing address will be displayed.

(b ... billing address, s ... shipping address)

Even shipping and payment country or region rules include such type of parameters (if empty then Shipping Address, if empty then Billing Address)

4) It is now possible to change (add, remove) columns in product list in administration. With help of 'Columns - Product List (Administration)' paramter you can select which columns will be displayed, but even which can be edited in place (valid for text or textarea fields) and the order of the columns can be set



See video (start at 4:10) https://youtu.be/grt-P66uUBM?t=250


5) The display of a specific category or categories can be forced by a menu link parameter 'Force Category' in Items view.

There is a lot of news again, so it would be great if you can test this version properly and send me any feedback.

Thank you, Jan
