New stable Release Candidate for 3.0.20 released, please anyone test.

[Milbo]

Let it happen, lets create the golden version. The team worked well with new found bugs and new ideas. This version is cached and optimised.

Really new is the new handling of the category view. The old "virtuemart" frontpage view is now deprecated and will not be developed further. But VM does not delete it, it should still work. the new category view has all old options of the "frontpage" view, so it replaces the old frontpage view. All these settings have globals in the vm config, parameters in the menu items and even in the categories itself (which overwrites any other setting if set).

There is now a new setting in the vm config to enable legacy layouts, when you update an old store, it should be automatically enabled. But adjusting the layouts is also not a lot work and explained at the bottom of these topic.

Another new architectural feature is the new handling of the JLanguage object. Vm uses now its own cache system, but the always the orginal joomla language object. vmText needs to get the JLanguage object set. This has several advantages,
- we can handle now different languages in one page call, for example different email languages. The way before was reusing the old JLanguage object and loading another language over it.
- Overrides for other languages must not be anylonger in the override file of the main language, because any new Language object reads now the correct overrides.
- No performance lost, when we use it on other systems. It reuses the joomla object,
- less overhead

But it has also a disadvantage that some plugins using the "onAfterInitialise" trigger make problems, in case a multilanguage page is used. When the plugin uses the VmConfig::loadConfig(), then it should use the new extra parameter to prevent that the wrong language is initialised.

The layout changes are moderate. With enabled legacy mode any of the old layouts should still work as before. These should not change the way your store works. These changes just fix small bugs of certain features, or just enhance the visual look of the layout. But to prevent problems with the old deprecated virtuemart view, you must update the category layout, so that all options of the frontpage work with it. Just open the default layout of the category view and search for

around line 49

Code Select Expand


if (empty($this->keyword) and !empty($this->category)) {


and replace it by

Code Select Expand


if ($this->show_store_desc and !empty($this->vendor->vendor_store_desc)) { ?>

if (!empty($this->showcategory_desc) and empty($this->keyword) and !empty($this->category)) {


around line 64

Code Select Expand


if($this->showproducts){


and replace it by

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($this->products)) {


To keep the search functional, you must update at least
Search also for any

Code Select Expand

!empty($this->keyword) and replace it by

Code Select Expand

$this->keyword !== false around line 64, 75, 157 (this are the lines, when you replaced the other code already).

This is all you need to adjust your layout.

There are of course more changes, also in the sublayouts. For example http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/repository/diff/branches/com_virtuemart.3.0.12.4/components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/customfield.php?utf8=%E2%9C%93&rev=9466&rev_to=9292

When your store uses an override for the customfield.php, then you should update your override, to profit from the enhancements.

Hi please check custom field of type string, when customer chooses one in a concrete product is appearing below all products even when the custom field is not available for the rest.

Resuming the custom fields appear below each single product of the order as if they were selected for all even in products with no custom fields assigned.

ehrm, please open a new thread, and explain it more detailled, I am sorry, I do not understand the issue.

Just trying it on my localhost.
Children categories are displaying even when set to "No" on the drop down menu.  Changing the number to display alters how many wide shown.

New Version with fixes for the last problems and enhanced calculation for order editing.

http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1057/com_virtuemart.3.0.19.9_extract_first.zip

I also wonder, I think we should call it vm3.2 or vm3.4, because the last release is 6 months ago and we did a huge step.

Routing:
- load homeid after trying to get the activeMenu
- routing of category and manufacturer ids in category view
- Itemid for product links
- another way in the router to grant that the productmodel is loaded
- Added new function in router.php which takes care of loading ids or slugs with multilang using the vm config vm_lfbs. This function maybe more enhanced and added to VmModel
- sef lang keys must not have the same translation!
- Added previous hidden configuration 'sef_for_cart_links' for SEF links in tab SEF of vm config.

Cache and Optimations
- Added program cache for currency converter. Maybe moved to database
- cached getVendorId
- enhanced link creation in BE product listing, prepared and cached with static variable
- enhancement for the router and product model getProductParentId uses now usually already loaded and cached data of the getProductSingle function. Also the name of the products are now taken from the cache. Usually products are loaded already anyway.
- the check if vmdebug should be displayed works now with a static in VmConfig and not with a function. The functions is now executed in loadConfig if needed.
- function getParentProductcategory in router.php uses now already cached products if available
- sorting on countries published: fix on hash
- Added "cache" option for language loader

Currency:
- Currency can use now empty Space in format

Convenience:
Common:
- Updated "update xmls" to vm3.0.18
- missing language keys
- removed id tag from dropdowns to ensure that chosen can always generate a unique id
- little fix in calculation, category settings work now also for discounts of rules per bill
- added deep category search for product links by GJC
- bulgarian states added by servlet
- global category settings
  a) Added parameters of category view to the vm category itself. This includes also renaming of some parameters in the vmconfig, updater is provided
  a) - Added more global options to the new category parameters reused old vm config options (partly of the homepage settings) as global options for the new category parameters
  b) - enhanced the layout for the view global settings in vm config
  c) - Adjusted also the newsfeed of the category view to work as the homepage feed.
  d) added "no override" setting to the category layout/template parameters. All additional category/template/layout Parameters use now an empty string as "default" (no override)
 
Backend:
- ajax loading of categories in Administration area.
- updated links of help file
- Added config which price should be used, when more than one fits (old selection used always the higher price)
- added vm config option for legacy layouts
- function getLayouts in config model checks for empty directories
- fix for tcpdf font listing, when tcpdf is not installed
- "debug email" which outputs the emails as message instead of sending them.
- fixed coupon search (thank you sandomatyas)
- configuration for the feature to omit already loaded products

- choose between replace, add and remove for product bulk associations
- more failsafe solution in model product.php for getProductShoppersByStatus in case a userfield is deleted
- MV were sortable, but did not show the right order in product edit, fixed
- "gui" fixes for customfield Multivariant. Removed phantom child in case it got deleted and fixed for some workflows a wrongly shown error.
- fixed rounding of customfield property by adding a new option "use rounding"
- added that commas are also replaced for desired final price
- createClone works now with getProductSingle, so that clones are still completly configurable by the parent
- fixed cloning of products in multilanguage shops
- fix in vmtable (for vmusers) function check, new registered users got vendorId of the admin creating the user
- added coupon to revenue (as extra column)
- fixed report for daily filter, should now work also with correct time offset (r9401)
- enhanced order listing, more information, combined some columns

Frontend:

We are using 3.0.19.9 in our live site already so I guess that is enough to understand how stable the latest package is already, not a single issue found so looking forward for the release.

[Jörgen]

Hello

VM 3.0.19.9, Joomla 3.6.5

When editing orders in backend the following line is wrong:

Code Select Expand

Call to undefined method JFactory::getFactory() in file: /home/kreativf/public_html/cms/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/orders.php line: 517

Code Select Expand

if(!$taxCalcValue){
//Could be a new item, missing the tax rules, we try to get one of another product.
//get tax calc_value of product VatTax
$db = JFactory::getFactory();


Replace with:

Code Select Expand

if(!$taxCalcValue){
//Could be a new item, missing the tax rules, we try to get one of another product.
//get tax calc_value of product VatTax
$db = JFactory::dB0();

regards

considered in vm3.2 https://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/479-virtuemart-3-2-cached-and-optimized

[aftertaf]

done a quick update of the backup site I have, running 3.0.19.x to 3.2.0 -> smooth as butter on the upgrade.
And man, it is a LOT faster to load category views, product & product detail views for the end user.
I'll be sure to do testing of all I can think of and report anything back, but Nice Work !

If anyone wants to check out the difference, and see if i'm imagining it...
http://www.socouture.fr is 3.0.18 production
http://w3.socouture.fr is 3.2.0 test backup.

Basic tests done mostly with POSforWebshops so far, looks fine. (this is my mission-critical part i need to be concrete about first)

one thing, looks like i lost the manufacturer categories (i only had 3, no biggie...)
