v1.3.6 Release!
Version 1.3.6 Released
IMPORTANT NOTES TO FOLLOW WHILE UPGRADING
These same instructions are in the /docs/whatsnew_1.3.6.html file in the download zip.
- SECURITY: Please be sure to review and apply the Site Security Recommendations to your site prior to taking your shop live. If you are uncertain about how site security applies to you, talk to your web host to ensure that you have proper measures in place.
- Stylesheet Changes: There are some important stylesheet additions and a few changes.
(a) Two new styles were added:
Code:
.hiddenField {
display: none;
}
.visibleField {
display: inline;
}
(b) There was a conversion from [FONT="Courier New"]<div class="navMainSearch forward">[/FONT] to
[FONT="Courier New"]<div id="navMainSearch"> [/FONT]in the [FONT="Courier New"]tpl_header.php[/FONT] file. If you wish to "not" convert that part of your header, you will need to add the following to your stylesheet
Code:
/**************************/
/* backward compatibility, to be removed in 1.4: */
.navMainSearch {
float: right;
margin: 0.5em;
}
/**************************/
- PayPal Users: If you are using the PayPal payment module, you will need to Remove and re-Install the PayPal module in Admin->Modules->Payment->PayPal in order to take advantage of the bugfixes in the module. (Write down your settings first, for easier re-configuration!)
You can download v1.3.6 here:

For a detailed list of What's Changed, see the following post, or view the What's New article in the /docs folder of the downloaded zip.
NOTE: As always backup both your database and website before attempting an upgrade ... for Live Sites we recommend a test upgrade on a test directory with a test database ...
