RO CSVI 9.1.0 release
How quickly time passes, another month has gone by since we released RO CSVI 9, the new major series. Now we are on to RO CSVI 9.1.0. Quite some bugfixes that are showing up as everything gets stricter, which is a good thing as this adds stability. However we have worked on a couple of new features as well. The most notable one probably the RO CSVI Dashboard.
PhocaCart
Quite a few bug reports came in regarding the PhocaCart addon, not only that but also a new feature. We have added the related_products field, so you can import and export related products in the PhocaCart Product import. Furthermore we have added image support for the manufacturer import in PhocaCart.
Dashboard
RO CSVI now comes with a Joomla Dashboard that you can customize yourself. This is a feature that Joomla has had since Joomla 5 but not many extensions use it yet. In this release we have added it so you can build your own dashboard with quick links.
Conditional rule (Delayed)
The conditional rule has a new condition that can be used, that is the between condition so you can build conditions between 2 values.
Custom Fields for All
Some regressions were found in the handling of custom fields being imported in VirtueMart for Custom Fields for All, they have been fixed as well and should import a little faster now as well.
Published filter
There was one surprise issue, that is the Published filter that you can use to export only published, unpublished or all records. The all option stopped working and would only export unpublished products. This is also due to stricter rules in newer PHP versions. We have rectified this for all exports so the All option now exports all records again.
