What to know before updating
Special editions
If you have a special edition of Open2b version 7.3, you can update while keeping the features of the special edition in use.
If you have earlier versions, updates are only possible to versions officially on the market; it will not be possible to keep a special edition.
How to check your Open2b version
You can see your Open2b version in the admin by clicking the icon in the top right.
App compatibility
If you have version 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3, apps are compatible. For more details, see the API v9 updates. If you have an earlier version, a compatibility check will be required first.
Compatibility with current templates
Depending on your current Open2b version, you may need to convert the template to the new Scriggo® format or install a new template from the Store.
- version 7.3: your current template will continue to work normally. Some new features still require template changes to be used.
- version 7.2: your current template will continue to work normally. Some new features still require template changes to be used.
- version 7.1: your current template will continue to work normally. Some new features still require template changes to be used.
- version 7.0:
- if you have a template in the new format Scriggo®, you can update. Some features still require template changes to be used.
- if you use a template in the old format, to update you must first convert the template to the new Scriggo® format. If you ask us to convert it, you can also request integration of the new features. Alternatively, you can first apply one of the 7.0 templates from the Store and, after the update, apply the Store template again but this time for version 7.4, which already includes the new features.
- version 2019 and earlier: you are certainly using a template in the old format. Therefore you must first update to version 7.0, then convert the template to the Scriggo® format or install a Store template for version 7.0, and only then can you update to version 7.4.
What to know before updating
If you have versions earlier than 7.3, note that after the update search engines will not index pages after the second level of Filters, meaning they will index, for example, a "department/producer" combination page (level 2) but not a "department/producer/attribute" combination page because it is level 3. If you want different behavior, such as continuing to index all pages at any level, this must be explicitly requested together with the update request.
