New version cairo.B2C 2.3
We are pleased to announce that we have released a new version of the cairo.B2C system, version 2.3.
List of New Features:
- Filtering by Manufacturer in plugins. The “Filtering” tab in plugins has been updated with a new functionality that allows filtering by one or more manufacturers. This new capability enables users to display plugins more precisely according to the seller’s preferences. The filtering mechanism, along with the categories, works on an OR basis, meaning that selecting several categories or manufacturers will display plugins that meet any of those conditions.
- Image Attributes. We are introducing the ability to add text for the main image forms in an article, category, and manufacturer. This gives the B2C administrator the ability to provide the following information:
- Title: The image title, which can be used as a caption or description. The value entered in the “Title” field will be assigned to the title attribute in the <img> tag.
- Alt: The alternative text for the image, used when the image cannot be displayed (e.g., due to loading issues or for users relying on screen readers). The value entered in the “Alt” field will be assigned to the alt attribute in the <img> tag.
- Adding Information About the Deposit Value in the Admin Panel:
- In the admin panel: Administrators now have easy access to information about deposits and discounts for already placed orders. Deposits and discounts are displayed in the order overview, enabling a quick understanding of the transaction costs.
- On customer accounts: Customers can now check information about deposits and discounts for their orders directly on their account. The deposit and discount values are displayed in the order history, which helps in better understanding the transaction costs.
- Improved Smoothness of Scrolling Elements in the Promoted Products Plugin. Improvements have been implemented in the scrolling of tiles in the promoted products plugin. The display method of the promoted products plugin on mobile devices has been redesigned. The new version provides an optimal user experience, taking into account the specifics of mobile screens and facilitating navigation and usage of the plugin’s functions on smartphones and tablets.
- Adding the Ability to Display Reference or Reference2. A new functionality has been added that allows displaying information about the product’s Symbol or Symbol2, depending on the settings for reference and reference2. To support this function, a new parameter named
products_referenceDisplay_mode
has been added, which can be found in the admin panel under Products -> Settings -> Product Tab (/admin/product/settings/#productTab). The possible values for this parameter are:reference
andreference2
. With this update, users can more flexibly adjust the display of promoted products to their preferences and needs. - Parameters as Product Description in the Product Feed. In the editing interface of a given product feed (/admin/marketing/product-feed/edit/ceneo/gbdfgd#feedSettings), within the control “Order of data selection for generating the product description”, an additional option has been added at the lowest priority: “product features”. This option is disabled by default. During feed generation, if this option is enabled, the description field for the given product will be filled with a list of features. This list includes both TecDoc criteria and features from ERP.
- Adding a Description Only for Products Without an ERP Description. This software update introduces new possibilities for displaying product descriptions on product pages within the system. After the update:
- The name of the option in the product settings has been changed to better reflect its application.
- Two new options have been added that give users greater control over which descriptions will be visible on the product pages.
- Clear descriptions have been provided in the help section, explaining how each of the description generation options works.
- New assistance has been added that describes the strategy for displaying category and manufacturer descriptions together on product pages.
- On the frontend, new mechanisms for displaying descriptions have been introduced, which allow the use of the description from the ERP system or the combination of the category and manufacturer descriptions when an ERP description is missing.
- Updating Stock in the Cart During the Ordering Process. This update introduces several improvements aimed at better managing product stock levels in the cart during the ordering process. The main changes include:
- Resetting and Restoring Stocks: The system now manages product stocks in the cart more precisely. In cases where an item in the cart is reset (both the product quantity and totalQuantity), and then returns to a value of 1, the product quantity is updated accordingly.
- Optimization of Database Queries: Optimizations have been implemented in the management of product stocks to avoid unnecessary database update queries when there are no changes during the resetting or restoring of an item.
- Improvements in the Discount Mechanism. The system now blocks the possibility of setting a 100% discount to avoid situations where the product price drops to zero. Automatic rounding of the discount value to 0.01 PLN has been introduced if, after applying the discount, the product price would fall below this threshold. Warning messages have been added during the editing of a discount campaign, informing users that a 100% discount cannot be applied and that the minimum product price after discount (0.01 PLN) must be maintained, thus preventing accidental price zeroing.
- Automatic Selection of the Delivery Method – configure. Now the system will operate according to the following rules:
- If there are default delivery tabs, the system will automatically select the chosen delivery method.
- If there is only one available courier, it will be automatically selected.
- If there are no available couriers, but there is one personal delivery method, it will be automatically selected.
- If there are configured delivery tabs, the system will automatically select the first available delivery method from the first tab.
