Added a new way to display the list of categories of the Store. Vertically Flex menu - a compact vertical menu with a fixed height, which contains the categories and subcategories of the store. Child categories are displayed in a block of fixed height, to the right of the parent category button.

A new method for displaying the list of categories in the Store has been added. This method allows you to display a list of categories, as well as several child subcategories. This display method can be enabled using Widgets, "Widget with store categories", "Display method" - "Standard list with blocks (buttons) + list of subcategories".

Attention! The structure of the Google Merchant XML file has been replaced. Previously, the category name was specified as the category. After updating the structure, the name was moved to custom_lagel_2, and the full path to the category is set as the product type.

Added an environment for the cart button «hotengine-shop-product-cart-parent», which may contain additional classes «hotengine-shop-product-compare-exists» and «hotengine-shop-product-favorite-exists» if product comparison or the 'Add to Favorites' icon is enabled, with a position «AFTER» or «BEFORE» the cart button. Furthermore, if the quantity toggle for adding products to the cart is enabled, the element will include the additional class «hotengine-shop-product-spinner-block».

Added detailed information about the import result.

Added a function to display the values ​​selected in the search filter at the top of the page.

jQuery UI has been completely removed from the website. The library is now installed only on certain pages of the Admin Center. The reason for the removal is optimization and speed improvement of loading. The jQuery UI library takes up more than 250 kB.
After optimization, we created our own modal window modules (dialog), changed the quantity of products before adding them to the cart (spinner), updated the customizable hotengine-popup modal module, and replaced the tab function (tabs) — now they are fully implemented using standard browser tools. In addition, the autocomplete function has been replaced with the smallest plugin — Awesomplete.

Thanks to this optimization, we have reduced the code of loaded libraries to 22 kB. Moreover, many of our libraries are separated into individual processes, so they are not loaded unnecessarily.


Please note that if you previously used functions like dialog, slide, accordion, autocomplete, or some other functions exclusive to the jQuery UI library, you will need to install the code for their loading. This can be done by adding a block/menu, placing it in service tags, with the following code.


<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>





The functions that are disabled:

• dialog()
• draggable()
• droppable()
• resizable()
• selectable()
• sortable()
• accordion()
• tabs()
• tooltip()
• datepicker()
• progressbar()
• spinner()
• slider()
• slider("option")
• slideUp()
• slideDown()
• fadeIn()
• fadeOut()
• position()
• widget()

We will be testing and identifying all errors for several days. Please, if you discover any errors, let us know through the feedback form.

In the coming days, a global update of the platform's functionality will be carried out. The large JUQEY UI library will be disabled. To install it, if you are using any of the functions listed below for styling your website, you need to manually include the library. This can be done by creating a block/menu and placing the following code in it: <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
The functions that will be disabled:

• dialog()
• draggable()
• droppable()
• resizable()
• selectable()
• sortable()
• accordion()
• tabs()
• tooltip()
• datepicker()
• progressbar()
• spinner()
• slider()
• slider("option")
• slideUp()
• slideDown()
• fadeIn()
• fadeOut()
• position()
• widget()

Some of them will be replaced (or have already been replaced) with lighter and more modern methods. For pop-up windows, our new module hotengine_micromodal will be connected, with a size of only 8kb. Similarly, spinner() and tooltip() will be replaced. The replacement of tabs() was done earlier.

Added quick creation of promotions for products based on the "Wholesale price". This function allows you to transfer the “wholesale price” to the “Price” of the product and add the previous price value to the “Old price” item. You can set an action after the end of the promotion, for example, return the “Old price” to “Price”, and remove the “Promotion” mark. This way you can quickly launch promotions for a large number of products.

Added a function for rewriting links to images that are in product descriptions during import. This function allows, when importing products, to compare the path to the downloaded images and the same images specified in the product description. If similar links are found, they will be replaced with the new path obtained after downloading the images.

Added the function of linking the mobile menu to any element (button). This allows you to create a button for calling a mobile menu, without displaying a block at the top of the site.

Added navigation by store categories to the "Slide Menu" Widget.
