eShop version 3 coming soon

Posted on Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 10:41 am in

Small changes aside there are quite a few larger changes for this release, hence the version number bump.

These changes start with the adding of a new payment option – for people in Sweden! (and elsewhere) This is currently in the final stages of testing and may open the doors to other payment methods being added in the future. This also meant a change to the Checkout page, so that now features a new Pay Via section.

Adding this meant that the settings page had to be redesigned, so its now split over several pages.

At the request of a few people I’ve added a text field after the State/County/Province select list. This meant adding a new default zone option on the shipping page for those that ship via ‘State/County/Province’.

Stock control within eShop has always been of minor importance, and is not as fully featured as some would like (sorry but its still per product, and per option) but the cart now checks against stock levels. This is a long standing bug, well ok i forgot to code it before…

I’ve added in a new setting to specify where the Continue Shopping link can link to, allowing you to enter the shop page rather than eShop linking back to the site home page.

After much thought, and coding another plugin, I’ve changed the way eShop allows access to its admin pages. Most people won’t notice a change, but if you have the Role Manager plugin installed, it is now compatible with that.

There are also new widgets available, so products can now be displayed in your side bars.

Finally, the default eShop style has been completely rewritten. This will not affect existing sites.

Release date is soon.
