Welcome to the second Beta version of
DragonByte Shop v6.1.0
Version 6.1.0 represents a complete re-write of the product, making it more deeply integrated with XenForo 2.1, improving performance, and making bugfixes easier.
The Beta label means all missing / planned functionality has now been added, and the system is now ready for more wide-scale testing.
Before we delve into the changes, let's get some things out of the way:
- This version requires XenForo 2.1.0. It will not install on XenForo 2.0.x.
- The "User shops" feature and surrounding item management in the front-end has been permanently removed from the add-on and will not be making a return.
- If you are still running DragonByte Credits v5.0.x, you need to disable both DragonByte Credits and DragonByte Shop before upgrading both of them to the latest versions. Not doing so will cause your site to crash until you edit the config file to disable addons from running.
- It is recommended you upgrade both this and DragonByte Credits via the new "Install from archive" feature in XenForo 2.1.0.
- Please see this post: #213 for further upgrade notes.
With that out of the way, on to the changes!
The biggest update is a change to the way the flow of a trade works. Previously, the person who received the invitation to trade would need to accept the invite before the creator could make any offers. The trade creator can now edit their offers as soon as the trade invitation has been sent. This allows for the recipient to (almost) immediately see whether the trade is worth their time.
Speaking of trading, when editing trade offers containing currencies, those currencies would actually not display their correct values in the edit form, always saying 0 (even though they were saved correctly). Fixed.
Minor other issues discovered since Beta 1 have also been corrected.
