10 exited new features of Prestashop 1.7

January 14, 2016, 9:43 am

Prestashop 1.7 is underway

Prestashop 1.7 is under development and the new version of Prestashop promises to come with lots of new features and we do hope it will become the number one e-commerce platform. Here are the list Prestashop 1.7 new features

10 great new features of Prestashop 1.7

1. Keep the core clean, features as modules

Site performance is one of the most important thing of any eCommerce site. But with the expanding code base of Prestashop, it is starting to run slow. It is essential make the core clean and light by stripping some of the features out of Prestashop core and add them back in as modules.

Multiple store
Warehousing and supplier information
The whole shipping system
Multiple currency support
Multiple language support

Noramlly, you don’t really use all the features but even though, code for these features is loaded and slow down your store.

2. Better module integration

Prestashop should move module configuration off of the modules page. There are a lot of modules for Prestashop that affect products on a per product level that you have to enter all of the settings in on the module configuration page. Shipping modules configuration could be added to the shipping tab, order refunding could be added to the order pages, and so on.

3. Better password security

Currently passwords are salted and hashed with the md5 algorithm, it is quickly becoming an outdated algorithm. Moving to a more secure algorithm will help keep your site safe.

4. CSS editor and back-office theme editor

Many platforms are offering the great feature. WordPress is a good example and it is actually one of the things that drive people to WordPress, because you can make simple changes without accessing to ftp. It is really saving users lots of time and also easier for them to do small customization.

Many Prestashop frameworks integrate this feature but Prestashop core itself should include the feature.

5. Back-office access to error messages and debug profiling

The features should be built-in as options in the Advanced setting configuration so users can enable or disable easily without any coding. For developers, the options are really important, they help check any issue with their shop and whenever issue happen, that the 2 place they will check first.

6. Better product configuration

Currently your options with products are pretty much limited, you can either enable or disable products, make them available for sale or not. Also you can fill in general information, but that is about it. I propose adding more information, but making it modular at the same time. Not every shop will need the extended information, so I do not agree with penalizing every shop with the code overhead. Some fields I think are needed are:

ISBN field for book sellers
ASIN field for syncing with Amazon
The ability to show the price just in the cart. This is essential for shops that sell for below MAP pricing
Configurable product tabs that can be added globally or per product. Say you want to show a tab on every product that is your return information, this cannot be accomplished currently

7. Blog integration

This is something that Prestashop is not doing good. A standard installation of Prestashop needs a modular blog feature that people can use for their shop as most of shop owner will need blog page for SEO purpose.

8. Clean URLS

This will be a big improvement of Prestashop 1.7 as URL is an important key of SEO. The id numbers need to be removed from the product, category, and CMS URLS. Friendly URL should be built-in as option in the Prestashop setting panel so user can enable or disable.

9. Easier customizable checkout

There are too many required fields during the checkout, the checkout process should be more configurable from the backend and not require any fields other than email addresses. Currently you cannot turn off the newsletter box, I think it should be optional with the option to have the box checked as well. The same thing with the terms and conditions. Cleaner sleeker checkouts reduce cart abandonment.

10. Simple maintenance system

If you want to clear out all old abandoned shopping carts, there is really no way other than buying a module or doing it manually from the database. Prestashop needs to include such function in the core. One suggestion is clearing old carts with the option of leaving ones from a time frame and also not deleting ones associated with accounts.

An other option is a function to delete all the expired vouchers is needed as well and also to clear expired specific price rules as well. As well as also adding a button on the bottom of the main product list in the back office that will let you disable / enable products in mass.

Final words

The above are the expected new features of Prestashop 1.7 that will make the platform to new level and to be one of the best eCommerce platform. Please note that those features we mentioned above are for Prestashop core, as there are many Prestashop extensions that provide such features out there, however, the best eCommerce platform should include essential features with clean core but the power of expend.

Prestashop 1.7 architecture

Prestashop 1.7 new architecture

Prestashop 1.7 is under development, this new version will have lots of changes in the architecture, in other words, it will be new architecture for prestashop. In this blog post, we would like to give you updates about the plans of the new architecture.

Brief description about Prestashop 1.7 new architecture and the transition phase.

PrestaShop 1.7 new architecture will be based on the Symfony Framework and the Twig templating engine.
The new architecture is planned to be used in the back office for two pages: Product page and Modules page (it can be applied for other parts later).
Other parts in the Presashop 1.7 back office will still use the legacy architecture from Prestashop 1.5 & 1.6. New architecture will be applied later Prestashop 1.7 versions.

More Prestashop 1.7 Updates

The old architecture will coexist during the process of moving to new architecture and this phase will take some versions of PrestaShop.
Only modules targetting Products and Modules pages will need to see their templating code adapted.

Prestashop 1.7 Architecture more details

1. Reasons PrestaShop 1.7 needs new architecture?

Just 1 reason, since the current Prestashop architecture is getting old and it is out dated, if no architecture changes, Prestashop would loose their market share for other Ecommerce platforms: Magento, Woocommcerce, Opencart, etc.

Look back the history, PrestaShop 1.5 was released in 2012 and that was a huge overhaul of the codebase, multistore feature, the advanced stock management feature, a revised module API, and in general a Core rewritten in order to better follow MVC patterns.

PrestaShop 1.6 was released in 2014 with the maintaince of most of the 1.5 architecture. The main changes in Prestashop 1.6 is the re-design of back-end and front-office with the integration of Bootstrap that make responsiveness for both front-end and back-end. Other great feature is the Dashboard with its KPIs, but the codebase was all remained. Prestashop 1.6 worked as expected, but it was getting show weaknesses since web development changed a lot and other eCommerce platform had lots of improvement.

The initial requirement is indicated that PrestaShop’s codebase needs to be more robust, more modular, and fully testable. Actually, new architecture was first applied in v1.6.1.0, but Prestashop 1.7 needs more than that to make Prestashop as one of the best eCommerce platforms. Decision is made, PrestaShop 1.7 will introduce Symfony2 in its Core codebase. As montioned, this change will be negotiated smoothly and over the long term.

2. Why Prestashop team decided to use Symfony Framework instead of upgrading current Prestashop core?

The very first reason of using Symfony Framework is that the framework is proven, popular open-source framework with stability of a globally recognized framework and it is resumed to help improve Prestashop core. Secondly, by using pre-made framework, we can reduce the maintenance workload, which consumes too much time and is not our core business features as Prestashop core includes so many things: managing a cart, handling orders, calculating prices and taxes, generating invoices, ect.

3. Why Symfony2 is chosen and how it improves Prestashop 1.7?

Simply, it’s Symfony2, the new standard of PHP! It’s really leading the way in terms of code quality and project popularity. Lots of other options are considered but each of the option has weakness. Let’s have a quick overview of the frameworks considered to use for Prestashop 1.7 core.

Lumen/Laravel:

It uses Symfony components, so it’s one more layer over Symfony
It brings a lot of services that are not really useful

Silex:

This is a minimalist framework
No efficient route descriptor.
Based on an old version of Symfony components, so one more layer over Symfony.

Slim framework:

This is a small framework that is a better fit for small software.
It’s maintained by a very small team, and has seen little contribution in the past year so it is not good for long terms.
The retro-compatibility seems to be broken each time a new version is published.

Zend framework:

This framework is a big competitor to Symfony, but its popularity is really waning.
Moreover, the Zend framework comes as a huge monolith. It could be a choice for a full rewrite of the code, but that’s bit an option right now.

Yii framework:

It’s also a monolith.
The community is quite small. Finding qualified developers to maintain the code will be very hard.

From the overview and comparision, Symfony2 is the final choice for the Prestashop 1.7 new architecture.

Which parts of PrestaShop 1.7 will be rewritten with Symfony Framework?

PrestaShop 1.7 will not be 100% written in Symfony. In other words, only a fraction of the codebase will use Symfony for this version. Fully use Symfony is not a safe strategy, a smoother transition patch will be better. In details, only the back-office will be affected and the first version of Prestashop 1.7, you can see the changes from 2 main pages: Product page and the Modules page. The following versions, each page will be switching to the new Symfony-based architecture.

Other improvements of Prestashop 1.7

Along with the new architecture in codebase, the design of the Prestashop back-office will be revamped to be more friendly and easy for users. The navigation will be re-designed for ease of managing your store. A quick guide will be included in the Prestashop 1.7 back-office to help new users setup a store. Check out list of Prestashop 1.7 new features.

Will the 1.6 modules still work?

Symfony will be used for back office-specific features only. It will be limited to an adaptation of hooks on the Products and Modules page. Modules targeting the other pages should not need to be adapted.

Module developers won’t need to develop in Symfony as the module API will be mostly the same, and Smarty is still used in non-rewritten pages. It will be necessary to use Symfony’s Twig templating engine for modules, but the core code of the module should remain the same.

For the Product page, the idea is using a switch button to switch between the Legacy/Smarty version and the Symfony/Twig version. It would allow the Prestashop 1.6 modules to work in Prestashop 1.7, that would give more time to developers to adapt their Prestashop 1.6 modules.

What happen with Prestashop 1.6?

PrestaShop 1.7 introduces new way themes work with new Starter Theme and the best practices it follows. So Prestashop 1.6 themes will not work in Prestashop 1.7: logic code is taken out of templates, controllers are now passing arrays instead of objects, the theme is secure by default, CSS classes are only for styling, no use of Bootstrap anymore, etc. The new way to build themes in 1.7, with a sturdy Starter Theme from which all theme developers will be able to build solid themes from the get-go, will allow the Community to create modern and durable themes.

Prestashop 1.7 starter theme

February 24, 2016, 6:35 pm

≫ Next: Infographic – 10 new features of Prestashop 1.7

≪ Previous: Prestashop 1.7 architecture

Prestashop 1.7 is under development and will be released soon. This new version will has lots of new feature and based on new architecture. Prestashop team is working to build starter theme for Prestashop 1.7, the theme is base theme to help developer work more efficient. The starter theme is being fine-tuned throughout its development and will be released in beta at the same time of PrestaShop 1.7 beta release.

Building a Prestashop theme requires a large skillset: HTML, CSS, Smarty and is familiar with the inner workings of PrestaShop. There is a lot of business logic going on in the templates, not only styling.

The starter theme will go with new way of a theme work, it will be a lot easier and save time. Anybody with only HTML and CSS skills can create a really cool, feature-complete PrestaShop theme from scratch in just a few days.

More Prestashop 1.7 Updates

In Prestashop 1.7, the old default-bootstrap theme will be replaced with a new theme based on the Starter Theme.

Why Prestashop 1.7 Starter Theme is necessary?

A Tool for Designers to Work Efficiently

Starter Theme actually is a minimal PrestaShop theme, it is feature-complete but has no styling. Prestashop 1.7 starter theme is not designed for user, it is for designer to turn the Starter Theme into a real, production-ready theme easily.

Standard workflow

In previous Prestashop versions, it is hard to know whether an extension or feature will work properly with a specific theme. The new starter theme could resolve the issue. If an extension or feature works with the Starter Theme it will work with any theme that is based on the Prestashop 1.7 starter theme. To do this, a comprehensive documentation will be helpful so all designer and developer can easily follow.

List of mandatory templates
Description of all variables available to each template
List of all hooks found in a given template

Prestashop 1.7 Starter Theme principles

Prestashop 1.7 is in development phase and the Prestashop team welcome any contributor.

Logic Belongs to Controllers

In the Prestashop 1.7 starter theme, the depth of control structures in templates will be limited to 2. If nesting 3 ifs inside a template, your controller could probably not function properly.

Controllers Pass Arrays to Templates, not Objects

Controllers can pass Product lists to templates, or they pass lists of arrays representing Products. The starter theme will need to standardize the way controllers pass – arrays is chosen because of the proven additional safety guarantees. Passing a Product object to a template allows the view layer to do things like deleting the product from the database.

Better layout structure

The <body> and </body> tag will be removed from the header.tpl file and footer.tpl. Each and every template will make sense to a designer (and to a linter!) by itself.

Security code is included by default

In the previous Prestashop versions, developers need to include |escape:'html':'UTF-8' in every place. This will be totally changed with the starter theme. Prestashop team will adopt the generally accepted best-practice that everything is escaped by default.

Keep the classes system clean

Starter theme offers new way a theme work and as it is based theme for developer, not user so pre-made style, classes are not neccessary, just a few classes (only important classes) will be put in the starter theme markup. When designer build a theme based on the starter theme, they can define the class system easier without deteling unnecessary classes.

Classes are for styling, not for JavaScript

Classes in starter theme will be used for styling only, JavaScript (from modules, theme or core) should not rely on classes to bind on events or perform other operations on the DOM.

So how JavaScript rely on ?

ids
data-* attributes
named inputs
as a last resort, if none of the above makes sense, on classes, but prefixed by js-

There are lots of reasons why classes should not be used for JavaScript:

Classes are for styling, not to perfom a functionality so if a class is removed, it should not break site’s functionality.
Make it easy to keep the Javascript working with different themes – we’ll keep our selectors simple in the Starter Theme, adding data-* attributes or ids where needed so that when you move things around everything keeps working smoothly.

Starter theme will not integrate Bootstrap

As mentioned, Prestashop 1.7 starter theme will be clean, it focuses on features. So it will not integrates any front-end framework like Bootstrap. When building a theme based on the starter theme, you can integrate the front-end framework. In addition, Prestashop team don’t want to force designer to use any specific technology, designer can decide which technology they want to use for their theme.

Ongoing Reflection about Hooks

The existing hooks will be retain in the starter theme, and a few hooks could be added to implement important functionalities. Prestashop 1.7 based theme will implement widget systems, that will be great feature for designer and user. The widget integration will help build content and functionality much more easier without third party extensions.

How to contribute Prestashop 1.7 starter theme

Any designer, developer is welcome to contribute to the project. A dedicated repository on GitHub will be created. We will also create a PrestaShop branch called starter-theme where all necessary changes to the PrestaShop core will happen. We will announce the link once it is setup.

You can join the chat channel at https://gitter.im/PrestaShop/StarterTheme.

Prestashop 1.6 themes will work in Prestashop 1.7 ?

For now, there is no confirm if Prestashop 1.6 theme will be compatible with Prestashop 1.7. Once the starter theme is complete, we will test and announce the final confirmation. Anyway, new updates will be required to make the compatibility.

Prestashop 1.6 modules will probably require adjustments to be compatible with the new version.

If you are curious about Prestashop 1.7 changes, this article will help you to understand the whole changes in Prestashop 1.7 that you need to know before the official lauches

Below, I will show you the summary of main Prestashop 1.7 changes

New default theme
Starter theme for developers
New back-office look (design, product and modules page)
Symfony 2 implementation
Architecture changes for front-end stuff
New approach to theme creation
New product page and redesigned Modules page

People says there are too many changes. Actually, it’s not that much. Once you understand, you will find it is true. To prove that, let’s go to the details now.

Starter Theme

Starter theme is one of the most important things in Prestashop 1.7 that is appreciated by most developers. It is packed with all most all of important elements for Prestashop themes. Moreover, Starter theme has no styling; hence it should be very convenient for a designer to turning the Starter Theme into an expected one.

New Back-Office look

New Back-Office have a nice look and professional style. To some extent, Prestashop 1.7 put more focus on design overwhelm new features

New default theme – Classic

PrestaShop 1.7 have nice looking default theme. However, compared to PrestaShop 1.6, it look less more professional. And Prestashop 1.7 default theme is in development, we hope to see positive changes when it is released.

New modern architecture

Prestashop 1.7 code changes
New architecture is based on the Symfony Framework as well as the Twig templating engine.

At first, the new architecture is going to be used for only two pages including Product page and Modules page (it can be applied for the rest later).
The rest of Prestashop 1.7 back office will still use the existing architecture from Prestashop 1.5 & 1.6( Legacy Architecture). But they will be changed later.
Both of architecture will coexist at the same time and this phase will take some versions of PrestaShop.
Only modules that will be used in Products and Modules pages need to see their templating code adapted.
Learn more: http://www.prestabrain.com/prestashop-1-7-architecture/

New modern front-end architecture

Also, it is pretty good to use new technologies such as Sass, Bootstrap 4, ES6 javascript compiled using Babel that is packed with webpack.js

Symfony 2

Symfony 2 is chosen is because it is considered as a top method with regard to project popularity and code quality
However, it is mentioned that PrestaShop 1.7 will not use 100% Symfony. In reality only a small part of the back office will use Symfony, mainly two parts consisting of Product page and the Modules page. Meanwhile, the rest will be unchanged
