    Default Differences/New Features from V.8 to V.9

    Can someone, perhaps support, provide me with a list of improvements and new features going from version 8 to version 9? Thanks!

    That's not what I'm looking for. I've upgraded from v.8 to v9. I'm looking to see what new features I might want to utilize in v.9 that I may not know about.

    Well if you've seen the Topics on the left-side from that link (i.e. SEO, etc), it is described there what features were added and so on. Anyway, I'll try to provide as much details I can give for you here:

    • Ajax-based mini cart (Minicart.UseAjaxAddToCart)

    • Enhanced kit layout

    • Configurable URL-rewrites– Allows URL to be customized for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes

    i.e.
    Code:
    <!-- AspDotNetStorefront Default Url Patterns -->
       <add name="Product" url="p-{ProductID}-{SEName}.aspx" virtualPath="~/showproduct.aspx" checkPhysicalUrlAccess="false" />
     <!--  <add name="Product" url="product/{ProductID}/{SEName}.aspx" virtualPath="~/showproduct.aspx" checkPhysicalUrlAccess="false" />-->
        <add name="Category" url="c-{CategoryID}-{SEName}.aspx" virtualPath="~/showcategory.aspx" checkPhysicalUrlAccess="false" />
        <!--<add name="Category" url="category/{CategoryID}/{SEName}.aspx" virtualPath="~/showcategory.aspx" checkPhysicalUrlAccess="false" />-->
    • Addin - allows a developer to add custom logic to the storefront through addin system. Configurations -> Advanced -> Addin Manager

    • Mobile browsing - automatically switch the skin to a streamlined mobile-friendly skin

    • Ajax appconfig design - editing has become simplified by design.

    • Multiple payment gateways - can now be selected within the software as a security precaution. Should the primary gateway call fail, the software will immediately roll over to the backup gateway.

    • New improved product & entity maintenance pages

    • New friendly error message handling (System.ShowFriendlyErrors and System.ErrorHandlingEnabled)





    Hope this helps.
