RO CSVI 9.3.0 release
Wow, we have come to the last release of 2025 and what a year has it been. A new major release has seen the light of day, Joomla 6 has been released, our monthly releases kept on rolling, and we moved on to newer PHP versions. We have added a lot of new features this past year and we continued support for new Joomla releases. The RO CSVI 9.3.0 release is all of the above. We are looking forward to another year of releases and support you with your endeavours.
Date filter
There are a number of exports where you can filter the export data on date. This code has been refactored and 2 new filters have been added:
- Today
- Older
Here you can specify a time duration and time unit e.g. 3 minutes or 5 hours or 1 month etc.
This gives you more control over the time-span an export should cover.
Quick Add
The Quick Add dialog has been extended with several options:
- Select the database field for a field when doing an Import from database
- Select the database table and enter the table alias when doing a Custom table export
- Select the worksheet when doing a Custom SQL export
Import Preview
The import preview used to be 5 lines, then we changed it to 15 lines and now you can go to 1 million lines as we have made it a configuration option in the template. So you can decide how many lines you want to see in the preview for any given template.
J2Commerce
In this release we have added support for the J2Commerce app Add to user group. This allows you to import products and assign them to specific user groups.
