August 2024

In August 2024, Sales Layer rolled out several important updates, including significant improvements to its Magento plugin.

Here’s a summary of the key updates:

Magento Plugin Update

Image Synchronization: Product images now sync in the same order as they appear in Sales Layer. If the image order is changed in Sales Layer, the updates will automatically reflect in Magento.
Category Sorting: Categories can now be sorted directly from Sales Layer, and this order will be maintained in Magento.
Image Cropping: Magento now supports different image sizes. If an image is linked in Sales Layer, it will automatically be assigned to all available sizes in Magento through the Image Roles field. For more information click on this link.
Support for Multi-selection Fields: Support for multi-selection fields has been added, allowing for more precise data mapping.
Sending the url_key Field in Categories: This new feature allows you to define the public URL for accessing a category. If the url_key field is not mapped or is empty, it will be automatically generated from the category name. In case of a conflict with another category under the same parent category, an incremental suffix (“-sl-{n}”) will be added until an available URL key is found. More information here.
Changelog: A version history has been added to review the changes and improvements made in each update. More information about versions is available here.
Analytics Data: A tool to gain better insights into the connector’s performance. More information here.

In summary, these updates aim to optimize the integration between Sales Layer and Magento, giving users more control and flexibility in managing their products and categories efficiently.

Note: As always, reviewing any previous customizations of the plugin before updating to the new version is recommended.
