Hi,
One of the latest 5.0.0 Beta versions of Phoca Cart has been released. It is expected to be released soon as a Release Candidate version and then a Stable version.
It would be great if you could help us with testing to speed up the release of the Stable version
What's new in version 5.0.0:
- Dark theme support
- Advanced product batch processing
- Watermark and AVIF support (Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF)
- SQL query optimization (Optimized for large number of items (tens of thousands of products, thousands of categories, hundreds of thousands of orders))
- Multilanguage
Supported multilingual features:
- Phoca Cart Core Multilanguage (NEW)
- Joomla Core Multilanguage
- Falang
- Multilanguage CK
- n3t Language Filter (NEW)
- Back in Stock Notification
- 3 New Cassiopeia Child Templates, YOOtheme Pro 4.3 Support (Supported template frameworks: YOOtheme, Gantry, Helix, T4, Sparky, ...)
In this release, the new multi-language feature needs to be tested the most
Just turn on Joomla multilanguage plugins (or modules) and in Phoca Cart settings turn on multilanguage feature. Then you can enter products and other items in multiple languages.
