[DBTech] DragonByte eCommerce 4.1.0.1

Update highlights​

This version fixes a bug where the "Validate billing country" or "Enhanced sales tax number validation" settings could produce a server error.

The fix for this issue has also been added to v4.1.0, so if your license has expired between the release of v4.1.0 and v4.1.0.1, it is not necessary to renew your license.

Fix: Fix server error when using the "Validate billing country" or "Enhanced sales tax number validation" settings

Update highlights​

This version contains two major improvements.

The first is integration with XenForo 2.3's "Optimize images" feature. Existing product icons can be optimized via a rebuild task in the AdminCP or via the CLI, and new icons will now respect the AdminCP setting.

The second major feature is a simplified address form. Prior to v4.1, both personal and business customers were shown the same address form on checkout/in their address books, which could be daunting for new customers, especially depending on the type of products you sell. Now, non-business customers will see a much simpler form; An address title, the name to appear on their invoice, and the country selector. This is the minimal information required to calculate taxes properly.

Another new feature is the replacement of many of the product select drop-downs (f.ex. when adding a new license) with a search box. This should help find the correct product if you have multiple products with similar or identical names, and stops you from wearing out the scroll wheel on your mouse if you have a lot of products.

Furthermore, a few reported bugs have been fixed.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Rebuild task: Optimize existing product icons
Feature: CLI command: Optimize existing product icons
Feature: Replace certain product select boxes with autocomplete
Feature: Simplified address form for personal customers
Change: Remove "None" in the address edit form
Change: Support decimal numbers for various "length" input boxes

Update highlights​

Hot on the heels of v4.0.1, this release fixes a couple issues related to manual order creation, affecting both the front-end (via eCommerce: Tickets) and AdminCP.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: Editing an order in the AdminCP would not correctly load the order user's licenses
Fix: Order creation now correctly uses the order user's permissions when checking whether a product can be purchased

Update highlights​

This version fixes an issue when editing the user group permissions for items, as well as a JS error when using infinite scroll.

Fix: Fix JS error with infinite scroll

Update highlights​

This version is now considered Stable. It has received extensive testing here @ DBTech, and no issues have been discovered.

One major new feature is integration with XenForo's native "Featured Content" functionality. As a result, all existing featured products have been un-featured.

Feature: Country select in the Address edit form now uses a graphical select interface
Change: Update "Available prefixes" display in Categories to use grouped prefixes
Fix: Fix all number input boxes to make the +/- buttons work again in 2.3

Update highlights​

This version fixes an issue where the "Add pricing tier" / "Add product variant" button did not work stemming from the change from jQuery to Vanilla JS.

Furthermore, a couple issues primarily affecting DBTech have also been resolved.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: Fix "Add pricing tier" / "Add product variant" button not working as intended
Fix: Fix "(None)" vs "Choose version..." wording for products with only unstable versions

Update highlights​

!!!This version requires PHP 8.0+!!!

This version, frankly, contains too many changes and features to detail them all See the changelog for a full list.

There are a few features and changes worth highlighting, however!

it is now possible to directly sell user upgrades within eCommerce. Purchasing a user upgrade skips the normal order process and instead takes you directly to the normal XenForo page for purchasing said user upgrade. This enables you to craft beautiful product pages for your user upgrades, without relying on customers guessing that they are available!

You can now add custom fields to download versions. You can already see this in action here @ DBTech; I've back-filled the "Minimum Platform Version" and "Minimum PHP Version" for all XenForo products. This feature can help alleviate problems where your customers who didn't read the changelog (that's not you, because you're awesome like that) won't be surprised when they attempt to install your product.

The checkout page has also received numerous changes and improvements based on customer feedback. It should now be more user friendly for guest customers who need an account during purchase, and should also be easier to understand once they get to the main checkout screen.

Other than that, a bunch of UX issues and bugs have also been taken care of.

Complete Change Log

Feature: Add support for cookie consent for payment profiles
Change: Standardise payment profile display in the front-end to match XF's Account Upgrades
Fix: Fix errors with the new shipping formula variable

Update highlights

This version resolves an oversight with the Shipping Method formula; previously, q referred to the number of items being shipped, not the quantity. For instance, if you had 100 of Product A and 1 of Product B, q = 2.

In this version, q = 101.

If you would like to keep using the previous functionality, a new token t has been introduced that behaves like before.

Please check your shipping formula after updating if this applies to you.


Complete Change Log

Change: Fixed calculation of q and added t in Shipping Method formulae
Fix: Fix potential server error when checking if shipping method is applicable to any given order
