Kudos PrestaShop : 1.6 a great 'leap' forward


Recommended Posts

If one looks at any support forum we don't get much time to just talk about positives.

 

I know we see issues with new releases but my experience with the 'under the covers' improvements of core PrestaShop from 1.4 forward is nothing short of remarkable.

 

The 1.6 front office boot strap (read performance) and re-designed back office compared to previous releases is a significant leap forward. 

 

Shops more than ever must be able to take advantage of new and improved features, so keep your changes within your theme folder, only use proven modules so that you can easily upgrade your native PrestaShop in order to take advantage of all this cool stuff.

 

(my fav thing about PrestaShop: localization, catalog by country, multishop with ccTLD (dream boat for PrestaNerds), language detection, currency, geo localization.  Can run on a shared server for those starting out, try that with other CMS, CCC .css/.js (you would be surprised other cms do not support), and a aggressive development making life easier for shop owners and developers).

 

 

so even though we always see growing pains with new major releases  this is much more preferable than stagnation.

 

happy PrestaShopping

Hello El

 

Totally agree with what you have said, everything advances, irrespectively of what we do or think. Things change, for better or worse, whether it is medicine, science, lifestyle, religion, well everything.

 

But, I have never quite understood why people want to upgrade to the latest version of Prestashop as soon as it is released. We all know that the best thing to do is to download to your local PC and play with it, find faults, try to break it, see if it works how you want it to do,

 

Prestashop and Prestashop users need to know if their are any problems with new releases but try it first locally before upgading your live store.

 

Anyway, Love Prestashop and long may it continue.

PrestaShop tells community how to upgrade including precautions we should take to protect production.

 

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Updating+PrestaShop

 

When followed one should never have issue with production shop, sure some minor issue might occur but major issues would have been discovered following official PrestaShop documentation.

 

Save yourself lots time an stress and do what PrestaShop says do. :)

 

I'm real excited as developer in publishing modules on offical addon's because of new developer features.  It will now be possible to supply fixes/new features and support for future releases on one place and easy for shop manager.
