= General hints for this package =


 * Current release contains session handling improvements related to users whose browsers do not accept cookies.
 * session is only started and session id appended to URL only after special action or on special view init. By default these are:
 * views: register, account
 * function: tobasket, login_noredirect, tocomparelist

If you need to define some exceptional action or view or if current behaviour does not fit your requiremens you can:


 * open config.inc.php file and add/edit "$this-&gt;blForceSessionStart" parameter by setting its value to "1". This will force session start on first page view and for users whose browsers do not accept cookies, append sid parameter to URLs;

or


 * write a module for "oxsession::_isSessionRequiredAction" method, which must return TRUE if current action requires session to start. This allows to implement more elegant way to control session start.


 * CSS changes:
 * Some unused, deprecated or faulty CSS background images were cleaned up.
 * Few positioning and icon CSS errors were fixed


 * Default theme colors were changed to:

EE:         PE:          CE:          Green:       Dark:
 * 1) ffffff     #ffffff      #ffffff      #ffffff      #ffffff
 * 2) efefef     #efefef      #efefef      #efefef      #d2d2d2
 * 3) 5e5e5e     #5e5e5e      #5e5e5e      #5e5e5e      #5d5c61

= Important information for developers =

Recent changes on oxSession class:


 * New methods:

oxSession::_sessionStart - initialize session data (calls php::session_start); oxSession::_forceSessionStart - returns true if shop is browsed not by search engine and config option blForceSessionStart = 1/true; oxSession::_isSessionRequiredAction - tests if current action (class or function) requires session; oxSession::isSidNeeded - checks if cookies are not available. Returns TRUE of sid should be appended to URLs; oxSession::processUrl - if oxSession::isSidNeeded returns TRUE appends URL with sid parameter.


 * Removed methods:

oxSession::_checkMandatoryCookieSupport.

To fetch root manufacturer/vendor do not use oxManufacturer::getRootManufacturer, oxVendor::getRootVendor (they are deprecated), use regular "load( $sOxid )" instead and pass "root" (case sensitive) as OXID.

Since this release oxArticle::getLink can return URL for price category and tags. To set returning link type use oxArticle::setLinkType( $iType ). Currently there are 5 link types supported:

define( 'OXARTICLE_LINKTYPE_CATEGORY', 0 ); define( 'OXARTICLE_LINKTYPE_VENDOR', 1 ); define( 'OXARTICLE_LINKTYPE_MANUFACTURER', 2 ); define( 'OXARTICLE_LINKTYPE_PRICECATEGORY', 3 ); define( 'OXARTICLE_LINKTYPE_TAG', 4 );

New/improved methods for oxSeoEncoderArticle class:

oxSeoEncoderArticle::_getArticleTagUri - returns SEO URI for passed article and active tag; oxSeoEncoderArticle::_getArticlePriceCategoryUri - returns SEO URI for passed article and price category; oxSeoEncoderArticle::getArticleUrl - now additionally returns price category and tag URLs.

(To define type of URL you need pass correct third parameter. Values defined in previous chapter.)

Introduced SEO encoder for tags - oxSeoEncoderTag class. New methods:

oxSeoEncoderTag::getTagUri - returns SEO URI for tag; oxSeoEncoderTag::getStdTagUri - returns standard (dynamic form) tag URI; oxSeoEncoderTag::getTagUrl - returns full URL for passed tag; oxSeoEncoderTag::getTagPageUrl - returns full URL for passed tags page.

Removed oxArticle::_assignLinks, which was called in oxArticle::assign method. Now URLs are created only on demand, so use getters:

oxArticle::getMoreDetailLink - returns product details link; oxArticle::getToBasketLink - returns "to basket" link.
