Store Manager for osCommerce News

Bugfixes:
- Products Export was not working on stores without Products Extra Fields. Now this issue is fixed.
- Issue which was causing access violation when opening specific descriptions is fixed.
- Products extra fields values are now exported.

Bugfixes:
Specific actions in categories grid caused access violation in graphics. Now this issue is fixed.

New Features:
New automatic connection wizard
- New automatic connection wizard has been released. Now you can use Simple or Advanced mode for configuration of settings. All you need for simple mode is just to fill in FTP settings. All the rest will be done by our Connection Wizard. If you are familiar with communication protocols you can use Advanced mode.
- The possibility to download the software via mini-installer program has been added to Store Manager for OsCommerse. Its small size of 2 MB allows you to quickly download and register the trial version of Store Manager for testing before purchasing it.
- The ability not to make database snapshot during autoimport has been implemented. Snapshot allows to browse changes made by import, though slows the process.
HTTP tunnel:
- New type of database connection has been added - HTTP tunnel. This is an alternative way of connecting to your database and it possesses the features both of osCommerce direct and bridge connection.
Advantages:
this type of connection is useful if you don't have direct access to MySQL database;
you don't need to do POST \ GET operations each time to refresh data on store and in Store Manager for osCommerce.
Disadvantages:
.php file is used by HTTP -tunnel, that's why the speed of work depends on your channel speed capacity. If you have unstable connection, it is better for you to use bridge connection as it works with database cash.

Improvements:
- Now the html editor recognizes the URLs of the images and reflects them if they are in the text editor.
- A better system of User Access Management has been developed. Now you can grant specific permissions to Store Manager users allowing them to perform certain operations whereas other areas may be disabled. This feature is suitable for store owners who want to restrict access to store data depending on specific user role e.g. Product Manager, Order Manager etc.
- The process of images management for osCMax users has been improved. Now the program automatically determines the FTP folder "images_big" and loads the images there.
- In order to improve the usability of the program, the buttons Expand/Collapse for products were removed.
- The elements of section Orders have been placed in different order and to different positions to make the process of orders management easier and more convenient.
- Now during order creation shipping cost, discount, tax, etc values are retrieved from database too.

Improvements:
- The possibility to edit descriptions of additional languages of the store using tabs has been added
- Now you can identify products by the name of the final category, not the full path during the process of import
- Auto import now re-loads .csv file if the process was interrupted or connection was lost.

Bugfixes:
- The issue with recording empty values in "text" field was fixed. Now the program fills in the text field correctly.
- Previously the issue occurred when during the editing of product description the scroll-bar was used. Now it works without any issues.

- In order to speed up the process of editing products in Store Manager we implemented
Tab, which is conveniently placed at the bottom of the window for fast access. You can switch between the tabs and quickly change info without opening Product page window.
