Merchello 2.7.1

Small update based on a number of pull requests, thanks again to everyone who takes the time to do them.

New 'Product Performance' report added, which was sponsored by Sam from https://www.thisisabsurd.com

FastTrack 2.7.0

This is the starter package for Merchello 2.7.0 called FastTrack. You can read how FastTrack is made via the FastTrack to Merchello document below which was from our training course a year or so back.

Installation

You MUST install Merchello 2.7.0 before you install this package. If you install this package first, it will fail.

Once installed, if you cannot see the products on the home page locally (Or on server), then check file permissions for the website folder. I've seen this a few times and it always ended up being a permissions issue. (On windows locally, try giving IUSR modify permissions and see if that works).

Merchello 2.7.0

Merchello v2.7.0 release, which has been built against and tested with Umbraco v7.12.3. This is Merchello only and NOT FastTrack. FastTrack is being delayed for v2.7.0 for the moment.

Unfortunately I have not kept a list of items that were done for this release as there was a lot and it was done over a year. A lot of items are still in the done column of the 2.7.0 project.

I will be updating Nuget and Our.Umbraco as soon as possible.

New Features

Shared Product Options

Back office users may now create product options that can be shared with multiple products.

When associating a shared product option with a product:

• A subset of choices can be selected
• A default selected choice can now be set
• An option can be "tagged" with an "UI Option" which allows for changing the element used in front end implementations for choice selection. Default UI Options are "select" and "radio". These are configurable from in the merchello.config file.
• Product option can be extended with a detached content type. This allows individual option choices to have custom extended published property values associated with the for more feature rich front end implementations.

Performance Tweaks

• Back office now uses bulk insert operations (SQL Server only) when generating / saving variants on product save.
• IProductContent is now cached in Umbraco's Runtime cache.
• Collection paged query key results are now cached in Umbraco's Request cache to help deter execution of SQL calls more than once in a single request.

Updates

• Non Shippable items are automatically fulfilled when purchased.
• Unobtrusive JavaScript - FastTrack now sets unobtrusive javascript settings on install
• Regions FastTrack checkout address forms now allow for text entry of Region / Province if regions are not configured in the merchello.config. Drop down list is still provided in cases where regions are configured.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes issue with PayPal provider not sending order confirmation email correctly in FastTrack build.
• Fixes issue with Braintree provider refund payment back office dialog reference
• Fixes shipping rate quote caching issue adding additional dependencies on country code and region name.

• A new column named 'shared' of type bit was added to the merchProductOption table. Default is 0
