Reviews Export/Import, Moving categories, Layout management
When you login to the admin area, first of all, you will notice that:- Product Reviews Export and Import support is added
- Categories hierarchy can now be re-arranged by selecting another parent category
- Skins and layout management page was rearranged to become more user-friendly
HTML tags in language variables
In a previous version, we implemented the trimming of HTML tags in language variables. For the sake of security, of course. After receiving your feedback we reconsidered this paranoid security behaviour and changed it as follows:- HTML tags in language variables are back =)
- You may also embed videos in product descriptions
- But we recommend that you open config.php file and list the trusted domains you can embed videos from.
Improved orders search and transactions search
- The advanced options of the orders search now include 3 additional criteria: Customer name, Customer zip/postal code and Payment transaction ID. Just expand the search bar to see them.
- Payment transactions search has been improved too: you can now find them by Customer zip/postal code, Customer name and the id of the transaction itself.
