DJ-Catalog2 3.7.4 with Price Rules, Wishlist, and New Delivery Methods!

The latest DJ-Catalog2 update brings many new features, improvements, and fixes. You can just discover them now.

In this blog post, you'll find out more about the new features:

It's the main new feature in DJ-Catalog2. Using this option allows the creation of global price rules with a specific calculation type.

The price rule can be configured for various occasions as well as for selected countries only. Some examples:

• Total calculation type (Independence Day in the USA) - the price rule only for the USA. The rule will affect everything (including Delivery Methods and Payment Methods) for a whole day (4th July).
• Products sub-total calculation type (10th Birthday of the company) - The price rule will be available for everyone. It affects every product in a store. The price rule will be displayed on the Cart Page: And also on the Checkout Page.
• Each product individually calculation type (+5% for people from Poland) - This rule will affect every product from the Desktop Computers category. Only people from Poland will be assigned to the price rule.

Each new "Price rule" can be completely defined by the DJ-Catalog2 administrator. There are many options to choose from. Some of them are:

See the example for the "Products sub-total calculation type" price rule that will be displayed on the Cart Page:

Use the new Wishlist feature and save selected products in one location! 

Wishlist is enabled by default, so this feature works automatically in DJ-Catalog2. The Add to wishlist button is displayed on the Product list and Product page.

It can be available both for logged-in users and guests. The wishlist view can be easily displayed by using the module position Wishlist view.  

All listed items can be printed or downloaded as PDF files by users in the front end.

Customization fields are a great way to add additional services or options to your products (for example color, material, etc.)

The DJ-Catalog2 update introduces two new types of fields for product customization:

• Radio buttons
• Checkboxes

Until now, only the "text" and "file" fields were available.

See the example below:

There is now a possibility to compare extra attributes belonging to different groups. 

Extra attributes are grouped automatically and displayed on the comparing page which makes a clear view for different products.

See the example below:

You can export your DJ-Catalog2 orders and queries into CSV files. This feature is enabled by default, is very simple to use, and works both for front-end and back-end.

After a successful export, the message will be generated with a link to a CSV file.

Thanks to this new feature, you can split the order into several shipments based on the product's shipping days information.

The preferred number of deliveries will be displayed automatically during checkout. You can choose to display only text information, shipping days, or both.

Shipping days and availability information (we've used 'custom order' in our example) can be defined on the single product page.

This feature gives the possibility to include additional products that will be displayed as suggested products in the checkout process on the Cart page.

This option is disabled by default. Chosen accessories need to be assigned on the product's page. As a result, they will be displayed on the Cart Page as suggested for the chosen product. 

"Date format" is the new parameter in the DJ-Catalog2 General settings. It was expected by many users and implemented in all DJ-Catalog2 views.

The formatting of full date-time values and formatting of dates only were added. For both options, there are 7 formats to choose from.

We've added four shipment plugins. 

All plugins are purposed for deliveries in Poland, however, it's possible that InPost also works for the UK, but we haven't tested it.

New plugins are:

• DHL24-PL Shipment plugin (in terms of the API provided by Polish branches)
• DPD PL Shipment plugin (in terms of the API provided by Polish branches)
• InPost Shipment plugin
• Pocztex Shipment plugin

Customers can choose the delivery method from the list in the checkout view.

After making the order, the site's admin can find it in the DJ-Catalog2 control panel (orders section). 

Opening the selected order will display the Delivery & Payment view among other order details:

Using the "Create shipment" button allows the ordering of a parcel and downloading a waybill.

Shipment plugins are not included in the DJ-Catalog2 AIO package and need to be downloaded separately from the download section. They are available for active DJ-Catalog2 subscribers.

The 3.7.4 update brings 5 fixes. You can see them all on the changelog page.
