RO CSVI 8.16.0 release
Today another great RO CSVI release comes your way. We have revamped the Google Token management and moved it to the global settings so it can be used across all templates. The multi-replace plugin has been extended with the option to decode HTML entities, a small feature but that can be useful when working with HTML code.
Google Token
We have received multiple reports from users who use more than 1 template with a Google Token and run into the issue that the token cannot be renewed. This happens because you cannot use the same credentials in each template, the credentials should be shared. To make this possible we have moved the Google API token to the global settings. This allows for all templates to use the same credentials and a single refresh token to automatically update the access token. In case you have templates configured with a Google token, they will continue to function. RO CSVI checks if the template has a token set already and if so, that will be used otherwise the global token will be used. Now is a good idea to move your token settings to the global settings as the template token will be removed in the next major version.
The documentation has been completely revised as well and you can find all the details in the Google API settings for import and export document.
Multi-replace rule
A small feature has been added to the multi-replace rule where you can now decode HTML entities. This will turn any encoded data into regular HTML and is often used in descriptions.
Notable changes
This release has a number of changes across the board that are notable:
- Client ID and Client Secret for the Google token are no longer included in the template backup
- The meta description fields are added to the VirtueMart Manufacturer export
