End of year RO CSVI 8.1.0 release
Last month we released RO CSVI 8.0.0 stable which supports both Joomla 3 and Joomla 4. To finish off 2021 we are presenting you with RO CSVI 8.1.0 with a bunch of fixes and a few extras.
Fixes
There are a lot of small fixes in this release, most of them only show up in specific circumstances so we thank you for reporting this issues. The most notable fix is in the export routines. Running an export may generate an error that you need to group by on fields. This is actually a configuration setting on the database. RO CSVI follows this setting but this was catching users off-guard as Joomla turns off strict mode on the database, RO CSVI now also turns off strict mode so the export no longer requires you to group by your fields in the export.
In Joomla 4 you may run into database errors in certain circumstances, these have now all been fixed and the database can be updated via the Check Database option on the About page. This includes that the database connection now enforces UTF8MB4 collation for exporting values in all different kind of languages.
ICEcat
The ICEcat index file has undergone a change in which a new field has been added, RO CSVI has added support for this field now as well.
HikaShop Arithmetic operations
The HikaShop Product import now supports arithmetic operations for the product_quantity field. This way you can update stock as you like. The operations available are:
- Add
- Subtract
- Divide
- Multiply
Custom Fields for All
The way values are handled for Custom Fields for All has been changed to no longer delete them and add them again but only delete and add where needed. This way the entries keep their IDs and the output will stay the same.
