Hi guys,

I'm happy to see the feedback. Thank you very much!

I've added this to our wish list for future versions of XC5. Actually, this shouldn't be a complex module, so it might be interesting for 3rd-party developers to train on this feature when studing our technical documentation

What you can already do in XC5, is to add an attribute that customers could filter products by. I'm not saying about "Manufacturer" category. I'm about the filter feature that you know as "refine filters". Here is an example of how this can be setup in XC5: http://demostore.x-cart.com/beta/?target=category_filter&category_id=2 (check the box in the left sidebar).

Seems logical to me. Will check this with the developers. Thanks!

Er, please could you clarify what distributive you are testing as this line was removed in the 5.0.0 version (and the beta version is 5.0.1). Did you download the 1.2.4 distributive from the file are in your HelpDesk account?

I don't get your point there, sorry

Will check this with the developers. Thanks!

Can't reproduce this issue on my local installation. What is the product you experience the issue with? Also, do you see the same issue at http://demostore.x-cart.com/beta/?

The only way to get everything back in the left column is to navigate away from the page, even refresh doesn't work

This was done intentionally to focus the customer on the search results, not on boxes which have less importance there. The boxes can be added back with a few lines in a custom module.

Same checkout page without being logged in - "continue" button is grayed out until personal info is filled in but "place order" button looks live (although it doesn't work at this point). Keep it consistent - everything should be grayed out.
And again something I have mentioned before - the store asks for shipping address instead of billing - this is reversed logic to me. Every site I go to asks for billing address and has "shipping as billing" or similar checkbox.

Good point on the checkout button staying orange all the time. Will check with developers why this happens.

I agree that there are many things which can be improved in the checkout page. We even have a number of mock up that we want to implement. However, I'm not sure how soon we can get these mock up live. Here is one of them:


I will share your thoughts on this with our designer. Thanks!
