Braintree Payments

Braintree Payment Processor for the PHP version of the cart. We apologize to ASP users however Braintree are not going to release an ASP version of their API.

Quick Buy Feature

A "Quick Buy" feature has been added to the cart so that instead of going to the product detail page to view more in-depth details of a product, these can be presented in a stylish, inline pop-up window.

Separate Domestic and International Shipping Order

You can set the order of Domestic and International shipping methods separately.

Generic Card Processor Errors

Credit card processors now do not give specific error messages such as "Invalid Expiry Date", but rather return a generic error message. This is a security measure as hackers would test cards on stores that specify the failure reason as it means they then know the cause of the card failure, such as if it was the expiry date, CVC code and so on.

Admin Categories Quick Update

The Admin Categories page now has a Quick Update feature allowing you to quickly set Category features such as Page Title, Meta Description, Category URL, Image and so on.

Email Address CSV Import

Email Addresses can now be imported as a CSV file.

Unavailable Product Alternative Suggestions

If a product has been taken off-line the product detail page will correctly give an HTML 404 response so that search engines know to remove the product detail from their indexes. However now a link will also be given to the old product's category so that the customer can search for similar products.

Invoice and Packing Slip Headers in Admin

Invoice and Packing Slip headers, address and footers can now be set in the admin email messages page using the CK Editor if installed.

https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/email-messages.asp

Currency Codes Admin Settings

Currency codes can now be easily set in the admin countries page. This was always possible using the includes file however some PHP stores never set this meaning no currency code was displayed on the product pages. The system is now much more logical and transparent.

Filtered Product Inventory Dump

There is now an option in the admin products page to dump either the full product inventory as before, regardless of filters or the filtered product inventory.

Stock Notification for Sell Button

For the purposes of "Stock Notification" email messages to notify a customer when a product returns to stock, the "Sell" button setting when not using stock management is now treated as going back into stock for when using stock management.

Product Page Recent View Display

The product page layouts now integrate with the Recent View CSS Widget so that you can view all the recently viewed items in the regular products page layout.

PayPal Direct Shipping and Handling

PayPal Direct payments now split the total into Item, Shipping, Handling and Tax totals.

Social Media Open Graph Tags

Social Media Meta og:image tags are now automatically created in the metainfo script thereby allowing the social media scraper bots to pick up on the image you want them to of your items.

Redesigned Giant Image Display

The Giant Image Display when using the giantimageinpopup-TRUE / $giantimageinpopup=TRUE; parameter was getting a bit dated so we've given it a complete overhaul and a sleek, modern design. Now an inline display with thumbnails is used allowing you to click to click the image for previous / next images. Also, the giant image display will start on the image the customer is currently viewing and looks great on mobile devices.

Clickable Tracking URL's

Clickable Tracking URL's on the Order Status and Customer Account pages which also allow for multiple tracking numbers.

We've released a dot release for v6.6.0 with some fixes, but while we are at it we have added a couple of features that we think you will like.

View images in the Admin Products Quick Update.
Now, in the Admin Products Quick Update menu you have the possibility to view the small, large and giant image as an image, which we believe will be useful for checking broken image links. Additionally, the image viewer uses a "Lazy Loading" system so images are only displayed when they are viewable on the page.

Maximum Cross Sell Items Per Section
There is now a parameter to override, and also set a maximum number of cross sell items per section...
crosssellsectionmax=6
$crosssellsectionmax=6;
...where you can of course change the number "6" to the maximum items you want to display.
At the same time we have introduced a Random Sort Order specifically for the Cross Sell...
orsortby=13
By setting this just before the cross sell include the results will be displayed in random order, which could be useful for say a home page random product display.

The "Up / Down" buttons did not work in some circumstances for the Add To Cart quantity and this has now been fixed.

vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.asp/php

If "options" was set as one of the Quick Buy Product Page Layout parameters then you could not use the "noproductoptions / $noproductoptions" parameter and this has now been fixed...

vsadmin/inc/incproductbody2.asp/php

The ship type is set separately to the alternate shipping rates in v6.6. But in some cases the ship type would still be queried if it were set differently and this has been resolved. Also, the "ectwarning" class was not being added to some errors so they would not display as errors.

Files affected:
vsadmin/inc/inccart.asp/php

In the customer account page, when creating a Gift Registry / List a placeholder has now been added for the list name, making it more obvious what the field is for.

vsadmin/inc/incclientlogin.asp/php

In the Admin Products Page you could set a product to "Stock By Options" but not add any options to the product without getting a warning and that warning has been replaced now.

Files affected:
vsadmin/inc/incprods.asp/php

For Stripe orders if there was a problem communicating with the Stripe server then this error was not reported properly and this has now been resolved.

Files affected:
vsadmin/inc/incthanks.asp/php

In the PHP version only the $imgnewaccount parameter was not being used to display a "New Account" image, and the $allowemaildefaulton parameter was not being obeyed.
