Version 2.5.1

New Features / Improvements
  • Address picker window for address fields now bigger and resizable
  • Groups now appear first in address picker window so they are easier to locate when sending mailings (via News module)
  • Coupon code change - Before, if a coupon code was entered and it matched BUT other rules/conditions on the discount record failed, the customer would still receive a message saying the code was added even if the discount was not applicable. This changes that, so the code is only added when the discount applies.
  • Added Bulgaria and Romania to the EU
  • Orbital (payment gateway) used to only support currency code 840 (USD) for their Tampa platform. They now support currency code 124 as well (CAD). This removes the code forcing currency code to 840 when platform is set ot Tampa so any currency code can be used.

  • If the customer logs in, and they don't have a required address form field set on their user account, the address form will automatically appear to gather the missing data.
  • USPS: Upgraded to RateV3 API. The RateV2 API doesn't work for Priority packages with SIZE set to LARGE. Because of this, we've added support for RateV3 to replace RateV2.
  • Added support for showing tracking numbers for couriers that don't support RTR on the order detail page.
  • Australia Post requires packages to be at least 5 cm on 2 sides. This defaults to those measurements if the dims passed to RTR are smaller than that so rates are still obtained.

    3. Updates URLs to paypal.com
    4. Gets rid of use of PayFlow Pro SDK and pfpro extension requirements

    "Unable to process payment. Please contact the merchant as the shipping address provided by the merchant is invalid, and the merchant has requested that your order must be shipped to that address."

    This change handles this by using the default country setup on the address form settings page when it's not available.

  • Added support for setting up certain tables (via their Table Definition record) as "Additional_Data_For" another table.
  • Stylesheet changes (minor)
  • Workaround for REMOTE_ADDR problem - some servers have garabage chars in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], which can cause problems with PayPal and others when IP address is sent via XML. This sets that var to 192.168.1.1 whenever it's invalid.
