[DBTech] DragonByte eCommerce 5.5.0

DragonByte eCommerce 5.5.0​

Update highlights​

This version brings a slew of bug fixes thanks to automated testing, and includes a new optional feature to allow sales to post a discussion thread when the sale starts. This also works for recurring sales, posting a new thread every time the sale occurs.

Other than that, the biggest change in this version is what happens to products when their owner's account is deleted, as well as what happens if a Classifieds product is reassigned. eCommerce now makes a best effort to move all other Classifieds products using the same business profile, as well as the business profile itself, to the new owner. If the user is deleted, the products are now kept, and can be reassigned to a valid user by a staff member with the appropriate permissions.

Please see the full changelog below for information about the bugs fixed in this version.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Sales can now post a discussion thread in a chosen forum, with an optional prefix, when they start, and each run of a recurring sale gets a new thread that shows the sale's dates and discounted products, follows the sale's title, and is closed or hidden along with the sale; a new "Sale thread author" option, also shown above the sale list, sets who posts these threads
Feature: Address and business profile webhooks can now be sent when a sales tax ID is approved or rejected, including the moderator's reason
Change: Deleting a member now keeps their products in the store as guest-owned products under their old name, and removes their licenses properly, cleaning up license counts, serial keys, deletion logs and approval queue entries
Change: Reassigning a classified product now moves its business profile to the new owner, and if other products of the old owner use the same business profile they must be reassigned together, such as with inline moderation
Change: Reassigning a product now also makes the new owner the owner of all its releases
Change: Order item custom field values are now stored in an order_fields column instead of product_fields, and existing data is migrated automatically on upgrade

Update highlights​

This version gives the API portion a bit of a tune-up, fixing issues with its documentation being out of date as well as a few bugs. Some of these changes also affect Webhooks, so if you use either Webhooks or the API, please check the full change log for more information.

If you do not use either, it is safe to skip this release as it contains no changes that would affect the normal operation of DragonByte eCommerce.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: The Latest Activity page no longer fails with an unknown getter error when it includes a new download

Update highlights​

Thanks to recent scientific advancements in the field of subspace quantum strings, things previously thought impossible turned out to actually be possible. In other words; it is actually possible to have attachments for individual editor fields, so all product and download editor fields can now have attachments. This includes inline images!

Attachments added to downloads (for digital product updates) or products (for initial release threads) will be copied over to the news thread as well.

It is also now possible to preview the contents of all editor fields across products and downloads.

Update highlights​

After a successful Beta period, v5.3 is now ready for wider release. As you can see by the changelog, a significant amount of fixes have been incorporated into this release. There is one new feature; the filtering feature on the Downloads list in the AdminCP can now accept download version numbers. Particularly useful if you need to recall information about older versions that may not show up when just filtering on the product name.

None of the resolved issues should negatively impact functionality, the vast majority of them simply address race conditions that required a highly specific set of circumstances to trigger. There are a couple of minor fixes for the DragonByte Tickets integration, as well as a fix for Stripe Itemised Checkout which only affected you if you asked Stripe to handle sales tax rather than letting eCommerce handle it.

PS: If you are using Xero Invoice Sync by @Xon please upgrade to v2.8.3 to maintain compatibility, as v5.3 changed address fields from being hardcoded to being customisable via the "Address fields" system.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Ability to filter on download version in the AdminCP
Fix: Ensure sort order/link filtering is carried over when navigating various AdminCP pages

Update highlights​

Continuing the work of Beta 1, this version reworks another significant part; The "Address line 1" through 4 and "Business c/o" fields have been converted into "Address fields". This uses the standard XenForo "custom fields" feature, so you are free to add and remove (or easily change the title of) these fields as fits your needs.

Fields created under the "Business" display group will only be shown if the user indicates the address is a business address. "General" fields are shown regardless. This even works with the "Field is required" flag, so it's perfectly safe to flag Business fields as required! You can see this in action @ dragonbyte-tech.com

The second feature is not exactly the biggest, but it was requested; you can now optionally choose a style that will be enforced across all eCommerce pages.

There's also a minor fix for staff members viewing users' licenses; All-Access Pass licenses are no longer reading your AAP status. They now correctly read the license holder's AAP status.

There's other minor fixes and internal changes, see the full changelog for details.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Address book and business profile address lines (previously fixed at Address line 1-4) and "Business c/o" are now Address custom fields
Feature: Optionally override style on all eCommerce pages
Change: xf_dbtech_ecommerce_license.license_key is now indexed
Fix: Clean up thread types/forum types on uninstall
Fix: Fix API type config results for Tickets
Fix: Fix "has required user groups" check for Licenses

This add-on has been hotfixed to address an issue affecting all front-end pages while this add-on is enabled. This issue was caused by additional security measures introduced in XenForo 2.3.13.

The latest version has been patched, and can be downloaded at no additional cost. If you are running an older version and you are unable to upgrade for whatever reason, please let me know the exact version you are running and I will apply the hotfix accordingly.

Note: Both the latest Beta version and the latest Stable version of this add-on has been hotfixed.

Update highlights​

This version is a rework that mostly is invisible for end-users, with the exception of User Upgrade products no longer being flagged as free. This update is a companion update to DragonByte Tickets v4.

In order to support DragonByte Tickets no longer depending on DragonByte eCommerce, parts of the functionality covered by Tickets has now been taken over by eCommerce.

• eCommerce Suggestions (A.K.A. product suggestions) is now handled by this addon, and existing nodes will be seamlessly handled by eCommerce going forward after installing this update.
• All code dealing with displaying product/license information in a ticket has been moved to eCommerce and injected via template modifications.

If you previously ran both add-ons, I would strongly recommend you upgrade both at the same time to avoid any potential issues.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Product Suggestions forum type
Change: Internal changes to support Tickets v4
Fix: Fix developer docs for code events
Fix: Guest checkout would display a "Please enter a valid email." regardless of user input
Fix: User Upgrade products are no longer mistakenly flagged as "Free" in the front-end filter
