Updates to Gift Wrap at Checkout

Posted December, 2016

When Gift Wrap at Checkout was updated to Zen Cart 1.5.4, I forgot to merge the code that takes care of gift wrap swatches and gift wrap names. This has been fixed, and the code is now available for Zen Cart 1.5.4 and 1.5.5.

Catalog Invoice

Posted December, 2016

Your customers can now create their own invoices from their orders using my Catalog Invoice contribution. It looks just like an invoice that you generate on the admin side of your store, but it can be done by your customers in a self-serve fashion.

MailChimp updates for Newsletter API and MailChimp Integration

Posted November, 2016

If you use MailChimp, either through Newsletter Discount or through my MailChimp Integration, you MUST update these modules. MailChimp is migrating all users to version 3.0 of its API, which is only supported by the latest versions of these two contributions.

Per User and Group Specials now includes Sales!

Posted October, 2016

Per User Group Specials now includes Sales support for Zen Cart 1.5.4 and 1.5.5. Specials are per-product discounts that show up in the shopping cart as price reductions, whereas Sales are per-category discounts. But neither of these built-in discounts can be restricted to a single user or group by default, which is why I did Per User and Group Specials.

Zen Cart Default 1.5.5 Updates

Posted September, 2016

All my mods (contributions and extensions) have been updated for Zen Cart 1.5.5a. Here's the list:

Zen Cart Big Upsell supports Discount Spender

Posted September, 2016

Big Upsell is a mod which displays promotions from some of my mods (Zen Cart Big Chooser, Zen Cart Discount Chooser, and Zen Cart Big Spender). It was just updated to also support Zen Cart Discount Spender.

Zen Cart Default Attribute Update

Posted September, 2016

Zen Cart Default Attribute just had a fix posted for adding multiple products from the listing page. Thanks to Zen Cart forum user @y051313 for reporting this issue.

Zen Cart Common XSell Sort Order

Posted September, 2016

Zen Cart Common XSell Sort Order is an add-on to both Extended Family and Cross Sell Advanced that allows the sort order to be used when displaying cross sells to be set in one single place.

Companion Modules for Zen Cart Default Attribute

Posted August, 2016

Zen Cart Default Attribute allows products with defaultable attributes (such as single format downloads) to be added directly from a listing page, rather than from the product_info page only.
Now, the following modules work with Default Attribute, allowing products with default attributes to be added to the cart. For example, here's Checkbox Cross Sell offering a PDF download:
Checkbox Cross Sell Items


Zen Cart Default Attribute for Zen Cart 1.5.5

Posted July, 2016

Zen Cart Default Attribute is a mod which allows items with only single valued defaultable attributes (such as PDF-only downloads) to be added directly from a listing page, rather than from the product_info page only. This means your customers can add these products from the search page, category listing page, featured products page, or the new and all products pages.

Zen Cart Find Duplicate Models now built in to 1.6.0

Posted July, 2016

Zen Cart Find Duplicate Models is a part of Zen Cart as of release 1.6.0. It was rebuilt using the LEAD pages framework which was introduced in 1.6.0.

The 1.6.0 version offers the ability to fix the model number right on the page, which I hope will be convenient for shopowners.

Zen Cart Save for Later for 1.5.5

Posted July, 2016

Zen Cart Save for Later has been updated to support Zen Cart 1.5.5 and the responsive_classic template. Other 1.5.5 updates for my mods will follow soon.
