Hi Tom,

Thank you for telling more on this. I think that's correct but his translation is also much better than the old one.

Dear customers,

Today, I released new version 3.5.6 of EShop Shopping Cart extension which includes the following great improvements and fixes:

1. Smart Search Function.

Joomla 4 will no longer use com_search (search) and it is replaced by Joomla smart search with the improved codebase. Therefore, EShop also supports smart search plugin which can work well with core Joomla smart search on both of Joomla 3 and Joomla 4.

2. New release version 2.4 of EShop Fashion Pro template.

If you are using EShop Fashion Pro template with EShop, then you should also update the Fashion Pro template to latest version 2.4 too. This updates include:

- Fully compatible with latest EShop 3.5.6.
- Update for EShop Search module.
- Update for Content page.
- Update for Contact page.
- Update for Users page.

3. Add new Squareup Card payment plugin.

Add new EShop Squareup Card payment plugin with better UI, support 3D Secure and Compatible with SCA requirement. If you are using EShop Squareup payment plugin, we recommend you to migrate to use this new payment plugin instead to avoid payment is declined.

4. Add 2 other new payment plugins: EShop Paystack and EShop Payengine.

Add 2 new payment plugins: EShop Paystack for Paystack gateway and EShop Payengine for Payengine gateway. So if you want to have the EShop payment plugins for Paystack and Payengine gateways, then they are available now.

5. Other fixes:

- Fix the issue on Attributes list.
- Fix the issue with Excel export.
- Fix issue with zone name Québec of Canada.
- Disable the Confirm button forever while processing order.
- Fix the issue with Start Date and End Date when exporting orders.

Hi Giang

Dear customers,

Today, I released new version 3.5.7 of EShop Shopping Cart extension which includes the following great improvements and fixes:

1. New library for Zoom Product Image.

From this new version, we dropped old library (qzjoom) which is not working well on Joomla 4 and replaced it by new library (picZoomer) which works well on all of Joomla 3 and Joomla 4.

Also, we added a new parameter for Image Zoom called Scale which allow you to select the expected scale that you want.

2. Search Improvement.

When customers enter a keyword via search module, the system will search products by product name, SKU, short description, description, tabs title and content, tags and product option values by default. Now, all of these can be turned on/off from the configuration.

3. Batch Products Process Improvement.

Allow to increase/descrease price of products (supports both of fixed amount and percentage amount) in Batch Products Processing.

For example, if current price of product is $100, then you want to update the product price with Batch: In the Batch Products screen, you choose to process price:

+ If you enter 150, then product price will be updated to new price $150.
+ If you enter +10, then product price will be updated to new price $100 + $10 = $110.
+ If you enter -10, then product price will be updated to new price $100 - $10 = $90.
+ If you enter +20%, then product price will be updated to new price $100 + $100 * 20% = $120.
+ If you enter -20%, then product price will be updated to new price $100 - $100 * 20% = $80.

This will be really useful and flexible. It will save much of your time to update price of products in Batch Process.

4. EShop Products module Improvements.

+ Supports totally of 3 layouts: Default, Grid and Slider.
+ Add more parameters to make it works flexibly.
+ Clean the code and correct some style issues.

5. EShop Manufacturers module Improvement.

+ Add more parameters to make it works flexibly.
+ Clean the code and correct some style issues.

6. More improvements and fixes:

- Add more configuration options for Sliders of additional images.
- Fix the Account Terms link, Checkout Terms link and Privacy Terms link.
- Fix the issue with Item Geo Zones shipping plugin in the case there are duplicated Geo Zones with same zones.
- Fix a small issue with export products data to CSV / XLSX (processing fields: product_meta_key, product_meta_desc, product_published, product_ordering, product_hits).
- Fix the issue with getting Products Nagigation.
- Fix the layout of Dashboard at the back-end side (Compatible on both of Desktop and Mobile devices now)
- Fix the small issue with slash in address data at checkout (addslashes)
- Fix the issue of category layout: Show the sub-categories on both of default layout and table layout of category.

So please upgrade EShop Shopping Cart to the latest version 3.5.7 to have these great improvements and fixed issues.

Sincerely, Giang
