Improvements

TOT-3944 - Model Search Listing content managed web page area to support finding models based on keyMakerModelID model field

On a content managed web page containing a Model Search Listing area, the area now accepts an additional input called "inp_key_maker_model_ids". This input allows a pipe delimited list of key maker model IDs to be passed, from where a model search will be performed that will try to match and display any models that have a matching Key Maker Model ID.
The area also now contains a search type called "keymakermodelid_startswith" that allows models to be found that have a Key Maker Model ID start with the search word given.
This new capability allows the model searches to be coupled with 3rd party make/model databases, such as PARtsDB to enable advanced model searching combinated with model data stored within a TOTECS project.

TOT-3957 - Setting to allow additional default child combination product details to display within placeholder hooks of the Product Detail content managed web page area

On a content managed web page that displays either a Product Detail area or a Random Product area, if the product loaded within the area is a parent combination product and it contains a default child product, then within the area's placeholder hooks there is the ability for the child product code, name,descriptions, and barcode data to display within the placeholder hooks.
Within the Administration Centre, within the Websites menu, in the Websites interface, upon clicking on a content managed web page that contains a Product Detail or a Random Product area, clicking on the area to open its area settings window appears a new setting labelled "Initially Show Child Combination Product Data". If set to true then when the area loads the following hooks will be filled with the default combination child product's data:

  • _P_ItemIDHolder
  • _P_NameHolder
  • _P_DescriptionHolder
  • _P_Description2Holder
  • _P_Description3Holder
  • _P_Description4Holder
  • _P_BarcodeHolder
  • _P_BarcodeInnerHolder
Note that all other placeholder hooks will automatically initially show details of the default combination child product if one exists for the parent combination product being loaded in the area.

Functionality Affected:  Product Detail and Random Product content managed web page areas
Impact: Normal

TOT-3990 - Display products belonging to the same category within the Related Products Listing content managed web page area

On a content managed web page area containing a Related Products Listing area, the area now has the ability to show products based on products assigned to the same active category as the product specified in the web page's URL.
Additionally the area can also products based on products in the basket that are assigned to active categories that have products not yet in the basket.
These 2 modes allow the category tree to be used to determine related products, reducing the amount of data work that needs to occur to allow users to find products that they may wish to add to basket.
Within the Administration Centre, under the Websites interface, upon right clicking on a content managed web page, within the Web Page Editor that contains a Related Products Listing area, in its area editor the "Displays Products Based On" setting now has the option "Category Products". If set and the "Display Related Basket Products" setting is set to No then the area will display products based on products assigned to the same category as the product specified in the web page's URL. If the "Display Related Basket Products" setting is set to Yes the area will show products based on products that area in the basket that are assigned to categories that have products not yet in the basket.
Note that if a product displayed on the web page or in the basket is assigned to multiple categories, then the Related Products Listing will display products across any of the connected categories.

Functionality Affected:  Related Products Listing content managed web page area
Impact: Normal

Additionally within the search filter drop downs the following search options have also been added to allow orders to be matched other order fields:
  • Orders Matching Login ID: Matches orders that have a user assigned to with the exact matching login ID in the search field
  • Orders Matching Email: Matches orders that have the exact matching email address set in the search field
  • Orders Matching Purchase Order Number: Matches orders that have the exact matching purchase order number set in the search field

TOT-4004 - Settings to control if freight carrier, service and freight unit measurements should be included when partial freight orders are sent to Smart Freight

When a user submits an order through either a content managed website, or via the Trade interface, or administrator resubmits a freight order, if the order is submitted to SmartFreight as a partial order, then the details of the freight carrier/service selected, freight unit amount, freight total weight, and freight total volume can now be selectively included or excluded within the freight order.
These partial freight order details are controlled within the Administration Centre, under the Stores menu, within the Freight Providers settings interface, via the following settings that now exist:

  • Partial Order Import - Include Freight Carrier/Service: If the order is set to be sent to SmartFreight as a partial order, then this controls if the freight carrier and freight service should be included in the partial order. The freight carrier and service will only be set if the ordering user selected a freight carrier in the Order Freight Carrier Selection screen, or if an Administrator set the Freight Carrier and Freight Carrier Service fields against an order when viewing its details within the Administration Centre's Orders interface.
  • Partial Order Import - Include Freight Unit Amount: If the order is set to be sent to SmartFreight as a partial order, then this controls if the amount of freight units should be included in the partial order sent to SmartFreight.
  • Partial Order Import - Include Freight Weight: If the order is set to be sent to SmartFreight as a partial order, then this controls if the total weight amount (in kilograms) of the order should be included in the partial order sent to SmartFreight.
  • Partial Order Import - Include Freight Volume: If the order is set to be sent to SmartFreight as a partial order, then this controls if the total volume (in metres cubed) of the order should be included in the partial order sent to SmartFreight.
Note that these settings are only relevant if the "Send Freight Orders To 3rd Party Freight Provider" setting is set to "SmartFreight - Partial Import".

TOT-4008 - Thumbnail image list and image viewer within Product Search Results Listing content managed web page area

On a content managed web page displaying either a Product Search Results Listing area or a Category Listing area, for each product displayed there is now the ability to display the product's image list, as well as an image placeholder.
When a user clicks on an image within the image list it can either open within an image viewer, or else update the image placeholder. Additionally there is now an option display an image magnifying glass when the user hovers over an image displayed within the placeholder, allowing the user to digitally zoom 3 times in on the image displayed.
Within both areas the following settings have been added:

  • Image Placeholder Size: Controls the size of the product image displayed within the product image placeholder.
  • Show Image Placeholder Magnifier: If set to Yes then displays an magnifying glass when a user hovers over the image placeholder. It's highly recommended to only set to Yes if the image placeholder only displays image of the same dimensions each time.
  • Show Image Thumb List: If set to Yes then it will allow the product image thumbnail list to display product images. Note that this setting may cause the area to take longer to load due the extra time required to get the list of images for each product. Its recommended to only set this setting to Yes if the product_image_thumbnail_list hook is embedded within the area's assigned format.
  • Image Thumb List Size: Set the size of the product images that display within the image thumb list.
  • Image Thumb List Target: If a user clicks on an image within the product image thumbnail list then this set controls if the the selected image should display within a modal image viewer, or otherwise update the image shown within the image placeholder.
Within the Product Search Record content managed web page area format the following formats have been added:
  • product_image_placeholder: Initially displays the default image of a product, then displays another product image when selected from the image thumbnail list. By default displays a medium sized product image unless the image size is configured within the area settings.
  • product_image_thumbnail_list: Displays a list of product images that can be clicked on to either display within an image viewer, or displayed within the image placeholder. By default displays a thumbnail sized product images unless the image size is configured within the area settings.
Note that currently in other areas that use the Product Search Record format those areas will not be able to render out the product image thumbnail list. As such the product_image_thumbnail_list format hook will display empty.The image magnifier uses 2 CSS classes to position and style it. these are:
  • img-magnifier-container: displays styling need to control positioning that the magnifying glass displays within.
  • img-magnifier-glass: displays styling for the magnify glass.
Website implementors may wish to overload these classes and change the styling of the magnifying glass, such as increasing or decreasing its size, border, or appearance.

TOT-4014 - Setting to run Geocode Locations after Locations Connector data import has completed

When a Locations And Stock Quantities Connector data import is run, upon completing there is now the ability for it to optionally geocode active searchable locations that don't contain any latitude and longitude data. This is important if the locations being imported need to be immediately visible on a content managed website containing a Location Finder area, and those locations don't have the latitude and longitude data that enables them to display.
Within the Administration Centre, under the Data menu, within the Data Imports interface under the Connector Imports tab, for the Locations And Stock Quantities data import clicking on the settings button 2 settings can now be checked, these are:

  • Geocode Active Searchable Locations: If checked then after the data import runs the Geocode Locations process will run.
  • Send Geocode Locations Report Email: If checked and the Geocode Active Searchable Locations setting is checked then when the process runs it will email out a report containing the results of trying to geocode locations.
The Geocode Locations process will find any locations in the project that are active and searchable that don't have any latitudes and longitudes set. For each of these locations it will then call Google's API, passing the address data of the location. If Google finds a single location match then the latitude and longitude data will be updated for the location. If the email report data import setting is turned on then it will email a report to the "Admin Email" (found in Stores menu, Organisation settings) containing the results of trying to geocode each possible location.
If Google's API returns any connection or authorisation issues then the process will stop trying to geocode any further locations once the error has occurred. It's recommended to turn on the Email setting so that administrator users can be aware of any locations that Google is not able to match location data for and needs to be manually fixed up. This can occur if Google finds multiple possible matching locations or no/invalid address data has been set against a location.
Note that turning on the "Geocode Active Searchable Locations" setting may cause the Locations And Stock Quantities data import to take longer to finish. The Geocoding Locations process will look at up to 50 locations in one data import. Subsequent data imports can be run if more than 50 locations need to be processed. This ensures that the data import doesn't take too long to complete leading to timeout errors within the Connector software.

Bug Fixes

TOT-3997 - Unable to enter 4 digit security code for AMEX credit cards within Customer Account Invoice Payment Form content managed web page areas

Within a content managed webpage containing an Invoice Payment Form area, users were unable to pay for their invoices if they are using an American Express credit card that uses a 4 digit security code, since they were only allowed to enter up to 3 characters within the "credit_card_security_code_input" hook's textbox.
Within the Invoice Payment Form area, the "credit_card_security_code_input" area format hook's text box max length has now been increased from 3 to 4 characters to allow AMEX credit card holders to enter their security code in full.
