RO CSVI 8.18.0 release
Another step forward with the RO CSVI 8.18.0 release. This is quite an interesting release for us as we have received a number of issues that we do not consider common. With Joomla 6 on the horizon later this year, we have tested RO CSVI and made the necessary fixes so we can now say that RO CSVI runs on Joomla 6.
Phoca Cart Manufacturer import
This release features some fixes in the Manufacturer import in Phoca Cart where default values were not set. Now manufacturers are created with the correct default values if these fields are not imported.
VirtueMart Product Import with custom fields
In the VirtueMart Product import we have improved the process of importing custom fields. The process would not check if there was any existing value and create a new entry. This has now been changed to first check if there is an existing entry with the same values. If found, the existing record will be updated.
The related products and related categories are also custom fields. Importing these values could lead to some issues in case an error occurred because the relations that still need to be processed would not be cleaned up. That is changed now that if we run into an error all relations that are not processed are removed. This allows for starting a clean import if you redo the import again.
Available FIelds
The available fields have been extended with a type. The type tells us where the available field comes from. This is something we needed for generating the list of fields you can group by and sort by and decided to make it visible in the list of available fields.
Notable changes
This release has a number of changes across the board that are notable:
- We have added support for the WebP image format
