Release notes for Modular Merchant version 4.120821.0805
  • Administration Area
  • Order Editor
    If a customer has multiple orders that share the same Basket ID, then the "Order Receipt" tool on the Order Editor page will email the correct order's receipt information. (Previously, it could include the oldest order's information in the receipt.)
  • Product Editor
    Fixed an issue that could prevent the list of available Zone Fees from being displayed in the Product Editor.
  • Search Shipping Methods
    The Shipping Rate Calculation column on the Search Shipping Methods page will now correctly display the formulas for custom shipping methods that calculate by percentages instead of dollar values. (Previously, the page would incorrectly state that percentage-based shipping methods were using a dollar-based calculation.)
  • Support Ticket Editor
    Fixed an issue that could cause HTML code samples that were posted in Support Tickets to be rendered instead of displaying the HTML source code as intended.
  • Product Editor
    Option 46 in the Product Editor, which lists the Digital Objects that are associated with that product, now includes links to open each of the associated Digital Objects in the Digital Object Editor.
  •  
  • Digital Delivery
  • Kindle/Nook/Device Integration
    Fixed an issue in which the wrong digital object file could be sent to the customer's Kindle/Nook/Device in certain circumstances.
  •  
  • Event Engine
  • Event Rendering Time
    Improved the load time of storefront pages for stores with 10,000 products when certain types of events are running. For example, the page load times were decreased by 55% when an event was running that puts every product in the store on sale.
  •  
  • Interface
  • Shipping Address Menu
    The shipping address selection menu that is displayed in various locations throughout the Administration Area and storefront will now list the first line of the shipping address instead of the customer's first and last name. (This was done because the names associated with the customer's shipping addresses are usually the same, which would result in the same name being repeated over and over in the menu, causing confusion in determining which address was which.)
  •  
  • Place an Order tool
  • Affiliate Tracking ID (TID) Numbers
    Entering an Affiliate Tracking ID (TID) number in the Place an Order Tool will no longer redirect the user to the Landing Page associated with that TID number. (Now, entering a TID number will keep you in the Place an Order Tool's interface.)
  •  
  • QuickCode Tags
  • DIGITAL-DOWNLOAD-PASSWORD
    The {DIGITAL-DOWNLOAD-PASSWORD} QuickCode Tag can now be used in any location on the checkout receipt page. (Previously, no password would be displayed when the QuickCode Tag was placed in certain locations on the checkout receipt page.)
  • FEATURED-PRODUCT-BLOCK-BEGIN
    The {FEATURED-PRODUCT-BLOCK-BEGIN} QuickCode Tag will no longer display a MySQL error message if used on the storefront's search page.
  • IF-PRODUCT-FIELDS-BEGIN
    The {IF-PRODUCT-FIELDS-BEGIN} QuickCode Tag can now be used within the {CATEGORY-RESULTS-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {CATEGORY-RESULTS-BLOCK-END} tags, the {VENDOR-RESULTS-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {VENDOR-RESULTS-BLOCK-END} tags, the {FEATURED-PRODUCTS-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {FEATURED-PRODUCTS-BLOCK-END} tags, and the {SEARCH-RESULTS-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {SEARCH-RESULTS-BLOCK-END} tags. (Previously, the IF-PRODUCT-FIELDS-BEGIN/END tags would always return false if used within those other BEGIN/END tags.)
  •  
  • Storefront
  • SEO-Friendly URLS
    Made an improvement to the system that manages the SEO-friendly URLs to increase the backwards-compatibility of links that still use the deprecated URL format from version 3.
  • Synchronization of store settings
    Addressed an issue in which the changes made to various store settings by clicking the green YES/NO "autosave" toggle buttons throughout the Administration Area wouldn't take affect in the storefront immediately. Previously, the changes made by toggling these buttons wouldn't take affect until another page in the Administration Area was loaded. Now, the changes will be applied to the user's storefront shopping session immediately. (This was a source of confusion for store Administrators who where working in both their Administration Area and storefront at the same time, but the changes they were making in the Administration Area weren't being applied to their storefront shopping session.)
  • URL Rewriting
    Improved the system that parses the URLs and image paths present in the storefront's HTML templates to make them more compatible with URLs that are dynamically generated and printed out by JavaScript functions. (Previously, the URLs generated by JavaScript would have additional content appended to them in certain situations.)
  •  
  • Subscriptions
  • Tracking Declined Subscriptions
    Improved the code that tracks the number of times that a subscription has been declined, to improve the accuracy of the results. (Previously, the subscription could have incorrectly been reset to "declined zero times".)
  • Shipping Method Override
    Fixed an issue in which the "shipping method override" value selected in the Subscription Products Module options would be ignored in some instances.
  •  
  • Universal Template
  • Add to Cart button
    The "universal" version of the vendor.tpl, category.tpl, search_results.tpl and store_home.tpl files have all been updated with the following change: If a product has Product Fields assigned to it, then that product's "Add to Cart" and "More Info" links will be replaced with a link titled "Select Version", which will link to the product's storefront page, where the customer can complete the product's fields and then add it to basket.
