Highlights
New "Withdrawal" footer widget added Feature-Request
A suggestion for a dedicated withdrawal widget has been implemented. The widget can now be assigned to a footer element and displays the legally required withdrawal button in its own dedicated area.
This is especially relevant for shops that do not use the service/hotline widget, where Shopware provides the withdrawal button by default. When the new withdrawal widget is used, the button in the service/hotline widget is automatically hidden.
Tip: Make sure that the footer element is not displayed collapsed on mobile devices. The withdrawal button must remain visible at all times.
New "Spotify" social media icon added Feature-Request
The ThemeWare® social media icon set has been expanded to include Spotify. The icon is available in all available versions. This means that Spotify links can now be displayed in the footer widget.
Changes in detail
Compatibility for Shopware 6.7.11.0 improved
Minor SCSS changes in Shopware 6.7.11.0 have been incorporated into ThemeWare®.
Dashboard cards improved when using multiple themes
When using multiple themes, dashboard cards can now be collapsed to improve clarity. In addition, a bug has been fixed where the card of a single theme was displayed multiple times instead of correctly showing the cards of the different themes
Footer widget CSS classes improved
The CSS classes of the footer widgets have been extended to allow more targeted styling and individual customization of each widget.
Padding of the category container in the "ThemeWare®-Flyout" improved
The padding of the category container in the "ThemeWare® Flyout" has been improved. This had become misaligned during the switch to the new mega menu.
Service/Hotline widget in the footer has been updated
The service/hotline widget has been revised and now follows the unified structure of all footer widgets. Like the other includes, it is now available in a separate template file. In addition, the corresponding SCSS has been split accordingly to further improve maintainability and customization.
Preview image (cover) for product videos
Shopware allows you to assign a preview image (cover) to a video in the media manager. This cover is now displayed as the start image for product videos (custom fields "Video 1-3"). The video is then only loaded when it is played - saving loading time and data volume. Without an assigned cover, the display behaves as before.
This requires a Shopware version that already includes the cover function in the media manager.
Snippet added for the titles of YouTube/Vimeo videos
A text snippet for dynamic video iframe titles was added to improve accessibility.
twt.productVideos.iframe.title: "%platform% video: %product%"If multiple videos are used, the snippet positionSuffix is also appended.
twt.productVideos.iframe.positionSuffix: "– Video %number%"Note: We are also currently looking into whether we can make cover images available for the YouTube/Vimeo videos.
Title for product videos
The title of a video maintained in the media manager is now applied to the video. This improves accessibility and shows the title as a tooltip.
Bugfix: Fixed the error "custom_field is immutable" when updating from very outdated versions
When updating to the latest version from an extremely outdated theme version, the error The field "type" of "custom_field" is immutable and cannot be updated. may occur. We hope this release resolves this issue.
Note: We recommend performing updates as regularly as possible and not postponing them for several years. This can significantly reduce update-related issues.
Bugfix: Help texts of the custom fields "Video 1-3 – Title" corrected
The help texts of the custom fields "Video 1-3 – Title" were not correctly assigned to the German and English languages. This has been corrected.
Bugfix: Text colour of buttons is no longer overridden in the upper and lower footer sections
The text colour of buttons in the top and bottom footer blocks is no longer overridden by text links.
Thank you very much for letting us know!
