Update highlights
Welcome to the first Release Candidate version of
DragonByte Shop v6.1.0 ?
Version 6.1.0 represents a complete re-write of the product, making it more deeply integrated with XenForo 2.1, improving performance, and making bugfixes easier.
The Release Candidate label means that unless major bugs appear, the next version will be the Gold version.
Before we delve into the changes, let's get some things out of the way:
- This version requires XenForo 2.1.0. It will not install on XenForo 2.0.x.
- The "User shops" feature and surrounding item management in the front-end has been permanently removed from the add-on and will not be making a return.
- If you are still running DragonByte Credits v5.0.x, you need to disable both DragonByte Credits and DragonByte Shop before upgrading both of them to the latest versions. Not doing so will cause your site to crash until you edit the config file to disable addons from running.
- It is recommended you upgrade both this and DragonByte Credits via the new "Install from archive" feature in XenForo 2.1.0.
- Please see this post: #213 for further upgrade notes.
With that out of the way, on to the changes!
This version has, quite frankly, way too many changes to delve into. I love you guys, gals and beautiful people in between, but I am not spending 5 hours writing out details for all the changes. There's ~50 of them! ?
I'll go through the new features and some of the changes, though!
This version features multiple changes to transactions and transaction logging, not all of which will be backwards compatible. Item transfers are now logged, and discarding an item now logs additional details about how it was discarded (automatically or manually, etc). Historical entries will not have the additional information, but new entries going forward will.
The list and grid view now have options to buy an item directly from the shop list, rather than having to go through the actual item page itself.
There's now an option to disable item icon scaling, if your icons are all the same size and should be displayed the same across the entire shop.
Lastly, it is now possible to change an item's configuration in the AdminCP.
The main changes to existing features in this version are; Improved the design of notification phrases (messages appear in quote BBCode), made AutoBump items able to work per-hour instead of only per-day, improved usability by adding error messages to the user explaining why they can't purchase or gift a particular item if they try.
Last but by no means least, 30+ bug fixes!
