Hi you all.

I'm still discussing some of this upgrades with Lyle but, meanwhile new version v.6 to test and answer some requests from Claire and Sophia, which I also had. The goal has been to look for giving the store admins much more control and flexibility on customizing their visual presentation. Let's see:

  • "Cheapest products" now is "Special Offers"
  • both blocks titles are fully customizables, write what you prefer
  • help text to explain that block at bottom is also fully customizable, also write here what you prefer
  • help text may be excluded if you only want to show the grid of products, on both cases
  • so many parameters required a new tab, so new tab for block where all this block settings and also the catalog block are at your view
  • drupal blocks (possibility to view those catalog blocks as drupal blocks) updated
  • the whole visual catalog grid top level now available as regular block
  • compatibility with panels module verified, make with it the kind of presentation for your catalog that you want, independently of the regular catalog module presentation
  • if you are not interested on this three regular drupal blocks and you consider that add to many things to the blocks admin page uncheck them and they will be not available as drupal blocks BUT without loosing the regular catalog tree-list block
  • the cheapeast products block now changes to "Special Offers", now mark as "Sticky" whatever products you want to offer as special prices and they will appear on the block, an easy way to use regular Drupal tools to mark special offers products and highlight them on a visual block

I tested all the new check/uncheck new features on my own site on developement and they look to work properly but maybe some combination could go wrong, who knows, tell me if you find something wrong.
