Added a function to display the values ​​selected in the search filter at the top of the page. The function can be enabled both in the "Mobile menu: Application" and in the "Search filter" functional menu. When enabling the function in the Mobile menu, you can set the minimum screen size for its activation.


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()

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.
