OpenCart v1.4.9 RC1 Available for Public Testing!

FIXES:
- Fixed additional email for loop issue causing "Please Wait" and "Error Send To Required"
- Improved featured products query to make all status checks and return all pertinent data to match latest and bestseller queries.
- If no shipping, tax zone set to buyer's payment zone instead of default store zone
- Session uses full path for session to prevent session sharing
- Removed unneeded products variable from admin order.php
- Removed error on empty language file
- admin/controller/catalog/review.php double text validation cleaned up
- Admin Order Edit was completely redesigned. Now supports product options & updated totals

ADDED:
- Feature Module uses category-style selector for products
- Extension install/uninstall hook. Now when you install/uninstall extensions, if they have their own install/uninstall functions, they will be triggered.
- Logout destroys session completely.
- sort by model
- Cache for featured products
- Image class supports proper extension name on resize and transparency for png and gif.
- Extensions will "self-clean" if the files are deleted without uninstalling the extension first.
- Restored "Show Out Of Stock warning" option in setting
- Parent Category pages show image next to description
- CheckAll to all checkbox lists
- Postcode required by default now on all account, address, and guest address pages
- Coupon code can be entered on Payment AND Confirm page, for those payments that skip the payment page
- New Paypal Improved. Itemized products, PDT support, debug messaging and more.

NOTES:
- Admin Order "Entry" is NOT included and will not be for 1.4.x. There are mods available to help admins enter orders.
- Admin Order "Edit" is completely redesigned to focus on the products. Ajax is used to update the product list instantly. However, to see updated totals, you will need to refresh the page. I will see if I can get that added before final release, but it is not a priority. No other fields are editable at this time. If it really a desired option I will see about quickly adding editing addresses to the next RC release.
- Admin Order "Edit" converts all prices to the currency of the original order for convenience.
- Admin Order "Edit" offers a free form Tax field. It adds to the actual product total but not to the the actual tax total. This means the tax line won't update but the main total will still be correct. This is due to the way that totals are stored in opencart order_total table. There is no discernible way to track which of the totals is the tax.

Let me know if there are any issue in either this thread or the "[RC1 ONLY] Post any OpenCart 1.4.9 RC1 Bugs here!" thread

Excellent news. I will download this and play in the morning, as it's getting a little late

Yes there is! A query like: will return the taxes from the order_total table.

Yes there is!

Code: Select all

$this->config->get('tax_sort_order') 

A query like:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM order_total WHERE sort_order = '" . $this->config->get('tax_sort_order) . "' 

will return the taxes from the order_total table.

That is good only if you dont have other order totals at the same sort number. But yea I guess that would be the closest option if the sort rule was strictly followed. Thanks for the tip.

Maybe some kind of "validation" so that sub-totals, shipping methods and taxes can't have the same sort order. After all, having the same sort order for sub-total, shipping and taxes could cause problems in calculating the total price.

The other problem though is the historical state vs the current state.
Today you might have
Subtotal -1
Tax -2
Shipping -3
Total -4

Tomorrow you could install a new mod
Subtotal -1
AutoDiscount -2
Tax -3
Shipping -4
Total -5

Now tax is no longer matched up

Excellent Job.

Downloading as we speak.

149! Can't wait till I can live it with this, love the new features.

Hi,

Will the problems in Royal Mail module be fixed in this update?

Which problems?

This is great Q,

I know its taken a fair bit of time and work to get these features to a releasable stage. Thanks your your efforts.

When will the Order entry be added. Not that i'm not more than happy with what you have done. Its just the main feature i'm waiting for. :-)

Also will there be an actual returns process integrated into the core. I mean a way to possibly enter the order number into the return system, it could then call up the order and allow you to select products to return or a return all/select all,then tally the returns value selected and either add items back to stock or a faulty/damaged radio option then save/process.

When are we expecting 1.5.0, Daniel said end of August, is this still achievable

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread for this.

Just downloading 1.4.9 RC1 for a quick test after all that.

Thanks Again
Stew

I have searched the forum in several ways for a contribution/extension for order entry but nothing of consequence (apart from "when will it be included....." crops up.

Any hints as to where this/these module type may be found please?

Cheers

Thanks Q.

I am not sure whether one would class this is a bug but for some reason I am unable to access the front end when selecting "Maintenance" mode even when logged in as admin. This worked perfectly fine in 1.4.7 for me.

If I need to move this please let me know.

Cheers

I cannot reproduce this. I log in as admin and set maintenance mode. I check the front end and I see my store. If I log out of admin, only then do I get sent to the maintenance page

Ok thanks for trying anyway......

Daniel and Q,

Just wanted to say thank you for v149 rc1. I upgraded from 1.4.7, followed your upgrade instructions and it was seemless. Thank you for all the hard work. OpenCart keeps getting better and better!

I did have one question...I understand that v149 rc2 will be released soon,
because I have made a number of custom changes to files in v149 rc1 for my site, what is the best way for me to upgrade from v149 rc1 to v149 rc2 and still keep most if not all of my custom changes that I made with my v149 rc1 install?

Basically I only want to update the files that have changed between v149 rc1 and v149 rc2... any suggestions? or can you provide me a list of files?

Any advice?
