Development – SVN Version
New adjustments were made to the SVN version of PrestaShop.
Here is a list of changes made:
- Images URL removed in Google SiteMap (these are not referenced by Google)
- Mail templates: order_merchant_comment.html and order_merchant_comment.txt added in exported translations
- Ability to add numbers in city names (eg Paris 5)
- Fixed the choice of the products number per page, displays only the appropriate choice depending on the number of products
- Optimized SEO of each page
- Impossibility to remove the default client group, to avoid corrupting his shop
- Various corrections on the SSL, Google Analytics, translations, and Google Chart
- One functionality has also been added:
The setup test of mail server in the Back Office
Do not hesitate to consult the SVN changelog to check the complete list!

Free contributions validation on PrestaStore
Many of you have offered your services on the forum or by e-mail to participate in the management of free contributions that will be offered on PrestaStore. Most will test or verify modules, which is the most important task to ensure they function properly and do not contain malicious code.
Regarding the writing and translation of the descriptions, and also possibly of the instructions for installation and use, we got mainly proposals for English and French, as well as some resources for Spanish, German and Hebrew.
So if you also want to participate in the localization of these contributions in your language, please let us know on our forum. It's now or never to boost your PrestaShop community ;-)
Currently, on the Forum... Taxes and laws section update
Contributions continue to be made on our Taxes & Laws forum.
Sometimes even more than expected.
For instance, Lithuania gave us a very complete report about its tax application. Brazil and Netherlands have also provided important extra informations.
Despite all those ones, a lot of other communities keep silence. If it could means that PrestaShop handles already perfectly their needs it would be perfect. Unfortunately we cannot stand for it, laws are numerous and very different from a country to another one and we think that a big collaborative work remains necessary.
The asian continent is still very expected (Korea, India, Japan...), China being its only country that provided data.
The Shop of the week - AktywnySmyk.pl
This week, Poland is in the spotlight! Discover the incredible AktywnySmyk.pl, a bike shop for children, brilliantly customized, and based on PrestaShop... Let’s go for a ride! ;-)
Visit the PrestaShop ShowcaseOn PrestaStore: Admin tools
PrestaShop integrates a large number of features. However, each merchant has its own specific needs, relative to its core business.
The "Administrative Tools" category from PrestaStore tends to fill this gap by offering various modules for various functions. For example, discover:
- PSE PDF Catalog helps you to create a PDF catalog of products from your store
- "Recovery command" allows, as its name suggests, to convert your customers carts. Practice if a problem occurs during the checkout!
- "Statutes Coliposte / Chronopost" automatically updates the status of customer orders, checking himself on the La Poste website where is the order.
- "Ban IPs" lets you ban the IPs of your choice, allowing you to ban proxies users on your shop.
Many other tools are waiting you on PrestaStore!
This newsletter is primarily yours.
Please send us any comments or suggestions you may have, writing to newsletter@prestashop.com.
See you next week!
