Improvements (43)​

• It is now possible to use the lowest tax rate for shipping fees.

• There is a new option to the FedEx shipping method to select the environment.
• You can now use a comma as a decimal separator when entering the "Retail price" or when importing the "product_msrp" column.
• The privacy consent integration now supports the "menu item" mode.
• We changed the default "Frequency of the check for the carts" for new installations from 1 days to 20 minutes so that even on websites with many carts created by users, the system can still keep up with deleting the old carts.
• Seletable filters will now be automatically hidden from display when there is no value to select in them.
• We now display boolean custom fields following Joomla 4's style on Joomla 4.
• We've added the support of the privacy consent plugin to the registration form displayed when you click on the link to register in the order notification emails after you placed an order as a guest if the corresponding option is activated.
• We've added an "empty the cart" button to the cart detail page.
• We've added "product_files" and "product_images" as reserved field column names as they are used internally and would create problems if used for a custom field.
• Plugins can now add extra fields on the characteristic edit form in the backend.
• The checkout login view will now display Joomla 4's social buttons (login with Google, Facebook, WebAuth, etc) mechanism. That way, users don't have to go through the registration procedure if social buttons are available (for example if they are added by Akeeba SocialLogin extension: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/akeeba-sociallogin/ )
• Payment plugin developers can now add an attribute "needCallbackFile" to their plugin class to have a callback file automatically created for them at the root of the website and they can use $this->getCallbackFilename() to get the filename. This can be used when the payment gateway restricts the number of characters or some special characters like ?, & or = for the callback URL for the payment notification. That way, when that callback file is called, it will automatically trigger their plugin's onPaymentNotification function.
• We added a canonical URL header to the contact form page to make sure it's not flagged as duplicate content.
• The orders created with taxes calculated by the TaxCloud plugin can now be modified in the HikaShop backend without loosing the tax information calculated by TaxCloud.
• When the "synchronized add to cart" setting is activated in the HikaShop configuration is activated, you can directly update the quantity of the product from the "add to cart" button area on products listings and product details pages. So far even when reducing the quantity of the product in the cart, the notification box message would be "Product successfully added to the cart". We improved the system so that when the quantity is reduced it says instead "Product successfully removed from the cart" in order to improve user experience.
• There is now a link back to the product details page on the product name of the product contact form.
• If the stock of one of the selected options is not enough (or another limitation is hit for it), if the "group options with product" setting is activated in the HikaShop configuration, the add to cart of the whole product will be cancelled.
• We've added the SameSite attribute to the cart and session cookies to avoid a warning to be displayed in the console of FireFox.
• We now separate the "save" and the "save and close" buttons in the backend on Joomla 4 instead of having them stacked.
• We've added logging capabilities to the "AIM" mode of the Authorize.net payment plugin.
• We now allow HTML tags in the footer of the PDF generated by the PDF invoice plugin.
• We've improved the code loading the custom fields on products listing to avoid errors with custom code in some rare cases.
• We added a decimal to the exchange rate for new installations of HikaShop to be able to handle 6 decimals instead of 5.
• We've added a hidden setting called redirect_url_when_registration_form_access_while_already_logged so that you can override the URL where the user will be redirected if he tries to access the HikaShop registration form while already logged in.
• When the multilanguage edit mechanism is activated, for languages other than English, when HikaShop is being initialized, we now reload all the already loaded translation files without the English overrides so that English translation overrides don't interfer with the original texts of the HikaShop content when the base language of the content is another language than English.
• The PayFast payment plugin included in HikaShop has been removed from HikaShop's install package. PayFast offers their own version of the plugin and it conflicts with it. People already using our version will still be able to continue using it even after updating their HikaShop. But new installations of HikaShop won't have the plugin added anymore and they'll be able to get it from PayFast.
• We've added a new javascript event hkCustomFieldChanged which will be triggered when a custom field is modified.
• Changing custom item fields on the product details page now triggers the hkContentChanged javascript event.

• We've removed the SEO fields from the translation popup of variants as they don't make sense there.
• We've added extra data display to the user edit form on the backend so that plugins can add extra elements to that interface.
• We've improved the javascript loading mechanism so that on Joomla 4, it will skip it if the web asset manager has not yet been initialized by Joomla.
• We've improved the categories filters so that if no category is selected, we still only display product categories in the filter as it doesn't make sense to display other category types.
• It is now possible to configure transparent stripes for image thumbnails.
• We improved the email history rendering of the emails to properly display images when added to the email as background-image.
• We removed the "add new value" button for the "default" setting of custom fields as it doesn't work properly and is not necessary there.
• We added an error message if the admin tries to use the "allow new value" setting while using his own MySQL query to load the values of a custom field as that's not possible.
• We improved the reminder plugin so that for cart reminders the plugin takes into account the last modification date of orders (and not only the creation date) and to also use the "cart waiting period" as a buffer so that if an order was created/modified for that user less than that period of time (1 day by default) before the last cart modification we also don't send a reminder.
• We've added a "make this address default" checkbox to the address form on the checkout when necessary to make it easier for the user and avoid having to go to the address manager to change the default address.
• We've added some failsafe for reports not properly initialized in order to not get an error when editing the report.
• We added a patch for the compatibility with 4SEF (successor of SH404SEF).

New features (10)​

• A fatal error would be generated on Joomla 4 when using a custom field of the type "date (obsolete)" which could be used in the past but isn't selectable anymore since there is now the "advanced date picker" type.
• The "orders" menu was not active when looking at the discounts / coupons in the backend.

Improvements (19)​

• We have add some css adjustement for backend Massaction (export options CSV, XLS, XLSX).
• Taxes on the payment fees are now taken into account when the customer is changing the payment method of the order from the frontend.
• We've improved the return from SIPS when the customer cancels the payment.
• The currency selector of payment methods and shipping methods and the shipping methods selector of payment methods have been redone using our own selector mechanism so that they work better on Joomla 4.
• We've improved the accessibility of the shipping method and payment method forms.
• We've improved the ATOS / WorldLine SIPS v2 plugin to better handle some errors during the payment notification.
• We've added an extra check so that you cannot configure the same path for the "upload folder" and the "upload secure folder" settings of the HikaShop configuration. This will prevent accidentally loosing access to all your images on the website.

• Brands won't be listed anymore in the "categories" setting of the product edit form since only categories should be selectable in that setting.
• The brands do not display anymore in the explorer of the products and categories listing and the categories do not display anymore in the explorer of the brands listing. That's more logical and will avoid confusion for the users of the backend.
• The eSelect / Moneris plugin is now compatible with PHP 8.
• The frontend URL of the product page is now also included in the contact request email sent to the admin.
• The "access level" settings under the "access level" tab of the HikaShop configuration are now sorted alphabetically based on the translated text of the label and not based on their key, which makes more sense for languages other than English.
• The address data would be lost in the input fields of the address form when editing an address of an order in the backend and an error would happen. The user would have to cancel to be able to edit it again with the previous data entered. We improved this so that the data entered by the user could be provided to the form so that he would just have to change the field with the issue.
• The display of messages in the backend on Joomla 4 could sometimes produce a message box with a non-functioning (and useless) close button as it was relying on a Joomla 3 capability. We now use HikaShop's message display system in these cases and it makes more sense and works better.
• We added some adjustement in Product design clothes plugin in order to better fit with the Joomla 4 frontend templates.
• We improved the way the address field of the auto fill plugin was displayed and used.

• We've added an option "Group options with product for the shipping price calculation" to control if product options should be grouped to their products during the shipping price calculation.
• It is now possible to synchronize the quantity input field and the add to cart button display with the product information in the cart thanks to the new setting "Synchronized add to cart" in the HikaShop configuration.
• We have added a new "popup mode" settings to products listing so that you can display the product details page in a popup on the listing page instead of being redirected to the full product details page.
• HikaShop now supports the use/upload of webp images.
• We've added a translation interface for the custom fields.
• It is now possible to reorder the different sections of the product edit form by drag & drop. And when you save a product with a new order of the interface elements, this will be remembered for when you edit/create products in the future.
• We've added a "return URL" setting to the "user points" payment plugin.
• There is now a format setting for the cursor labels of cursor filters not based on the price so that you can fine tune the format of the numbers (decimals, grouping, prefix, suffix, etc).
• The category explorer on the products / categories / brands listings can now be closed /opened with a button on it. And this will be remembered next time you access the same listing. It will be closed by default for the categories/brands listings as in most cases it is not needed there.
