What to know before updating the software to version 7.7

Special editions

If you have a special edition of Open2b version 7.6, you can update while keeping the features of the special edition in use, subject to a technical feasibility check. If it is not possible to keep a special edition, you can update only by moving to one of the commercial solutions.

If you have versions earlier than 7.6, 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 through 7.6, apps are compatible. For more details, see the API v12 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.

from version 7.1 to version 7.6: your current template will continue to work normally.
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.

Possible steps after updating

If you use Returns Management, you will need to add the following two entries to the system translations of the template in use:

ReturnItemApprovalCompleted=Completed
ReturnStatusCompleted=Completed

This is a very simple change that you can do manually on your own.

If you plan to use Chinese on the site, you must also add the flag image (zh-CN.png) in the flags folder.
