What's New in the Reploverse (Changelog)

  • Updated

Week of November 6th, 2023

This week was a big week for us at Replo - we took the whole team back to the drawing board to work together on a bunch of smaller editor improvements and bug-fixes that have been requested for a while ๐Ÿ™Œ

  • Thereโ€™s a new Replo State trigger for PDPs which allows a state to be triggered when the template product is one of a specific set of products. This is great for complicated PDP templates where you only want to show certain sections for certain products ๐Ÿฅณ
  • Weโ€™ve improved how States are displayed for interactions - if you add an interaction for a specific State, youโ€™ll now see that State selected in the interactions tab ๐Ÿช…
  • Update to rich-text editing in Replo: when pasting a URL on selected text, we now automatically generate links ๐ŸŽ‰
  • When deleting a State in Replo, the previous state is now correctly selected ๐Ÿš€
  • Better experience for selecting different types of content in Replo - when you click on the content type, for example โ€œPostsโ€ or โ€œSectionsโ€, the last one of that type will become selected automatically. One less click!๐Ÿ•บ
  • Fixed an issue where if a component name was very long, the blue bar in the editor preview would look incorrect
  • Fixed an issue where information icons weren't properly aligned in the new page/post creation interface
  • Fixed an issue where when selecting products in certain areas of the editor, you would have to click directly on the checkbox to select a product, instead of just on the productโ€™s name
  • We've addressed a problem where page previews would not work if they included an Option List which referenced a Product directly, instead of via Dynamic Data
  • Fixed an issue with Replo Marketplace where the grid was not optimal for larger screens and would stretch out the cards
  • Fixed an issue in the editor where certain inputs in the editor would not show as highlighted when they were focused
  • Fixed an issue where for certain Interactions, the editor for editing the interaction details would not appear
  • Fixed an issue where if your Shopify store was closed, Replo would show a lot of โ€œunknown errorโ€ popups. We now show a nicer message and let you edit Replo pages, even with a closed store
  • Fixed an issue within the Interactions editor where the positioning would become inconsistent if you collapsed the โ€œOn Clickโ€ group in the right bar
  • Fixed an issue where if you copy/paste a Replo State to where it doesnโ€™t make sense (for example, moving a product state outside of a product container) it will correctly reset
  • Fixed a technical glitch that was causing unwanted flickering images for the ticker component in Safari browsers (including on iPhones)
  • Fixed an issue with certain themes where button focus styles would not show correctly
  • Fixed an issue where for very large pages, the header would โ€œflickerโ€ and appear for a short time even when it was hidden via Replo
  • Fixed an issue with embedded apps which add product line-item inputs with checkboxes where in certain cases, the value of the checkbox would not be respected when adding the product to the cart
  • Fixed an issue that didn't allow users to update article title and featured image of blog posts in certain cases
  • Fixed an error where on certain Browsers, autoplay for videos would not work correctly for some Video components
  • Fixed an issue in the left-bar component tree where โ€œnullโ€ would sometimes show up in tooltips
  • Fixed an issue related to Replo running on stores with Langify installed, where the initial load of the editor would sometimes take a very long time (e.g. 10 seconds) to finish
  • Fixed an issue where pages which referenced a large number of product metafields would sometimes fail to publish
  • Fixed an issue where if you pressed publish at a very specific time during editor loading, some product data would not get loaded onto the published page
  • Fixed an issue related to the Kaching Bundles app integration where add to cart interactions would not respected the Kaching-controlled bundle products in certain cases
  • Fixed an issue with the Infinite Options app integration where in certain cases the same option would always be selected

Week of October 30th, 2023

  • Resolved an issue where the Recharge widget would not update selling plans correctly in Add To Cart actions. Introduced a new Advanced Setting that aids third part embed overrides extended selling plans functionality, which enables more subscription apps, like Seal Subscriptions, to work seamlessly with Replo ๐ŸŽŠ
