In detail

User Experience

Improve the shopping experience for your customers in your OXID eShop with three new zoom options.

• Hover Zoom: This function offers an interactive way to view product images in detail.

  When the mouse pointer hovers over the image, it is enlarged and the magnification follows the mouse movement.

  This allows users to examine different areas of the image in detail and increases interactivity and engagement.

• Modal zoom: Clicking on the product image opens it in a larger modal window, revealing more details.

  In addition, the user can zoom into the image within the modal to see particularly fine details.

  This offers a comprehensive opportunity to take a close look at products.

• Magnifier zoom: A magnifying glass function is activated when the mouse pointer is moved over the image.

  A separate area shows a greatly enlarged view of the image section directly under the mouse pointer.

  This enables precise viewing of specific product details without enlarging the entire image.

You can set the desired zoom globally for your OXID eShop. You can also define an individual zoom type for individual items.

For more information, see Choosing a zoom type.

Visual CMS & Mediathek

See the Changelogs:

• Mediathek: https://github.com/OXID-eSales/media-library-module/blob/b-7.2.x/CHANGELOG.md

New functions for developers

• Note the following system requirements:

  • MySQL 8.0 (MySQL 5.7 is supported, but we don’t recommend it)

  • MariaDB (tested with MariaDB 11)

  • PHP versions 8.2 or 8.3

• If required, deactivate the sending of e-mail notifications for orders.

  By default, an e-mail is sent to the customer and the store operator when a new order is received.

  Deactivating email notifications can be useful, for example, if your ERP system sends the messages. In this case, only a log entry is created.

  For more information, see the developer documentation (English) under Disabling order notification e-mails.

• When working with dynamic content loaded via Ajax, use the setOuterHtmlAndExecuteScripts method to replace elements in the DOM with new content while handling the execution of embedded JavaScript in that content.

  For more information, see the developer documentation under Loading dynamic content via AJAX.

GDPR-compliant export of user data

As an administrator, export all data associated with a specific user in accordance with GDPR regulations.

For more information, see the GDPR Opt-in documentation (German) under Benutzerdaten GDPR-konform exportieren.
